Delivery time 55 days for an item in stock at the time of ordering x standard messages from the seller in response to my inquiries promising prompt delivery. No telephone contact possible.

Complete source with long ship times. I live in an area that has no hobby outlets. The nearest is over 75 miles. I use on-line systems a lot. My problem is that the shipping cost from these outlets makes small items cost prohibitive. I purchased Humbrol paints from this site and found that items in my order had to be shipped from England to an Arkansas Distribution point to me.

Dear customer, Thank you for your comment, we will take it into account in order to improve our service. Please note most our products come from Europe which increases both the delays and the shipping cost. Best regards, The 1001modelkits team

The package arrived a little later than stated on the website with regard to the time frame for processing the request. However they kept in constant contact to notify me of the minor mishap as well as all other fulfillment (accepting request preparing package and shipping). The shipment then once it left was very fast.

The site provides a wide choice, the best of all the sites I know. But what a hassle: 10 to 20 day delivery times No reply to emails No telephone number to contact them Refund by credit note which obliges you to buy something else Expensive prices compared to the competition What a pity with more application and rigor in their operation and reasonable delivery times I think this would be one of the best sites in the world.

of course when you talk to them online they don't even answer you when they see that they're wrong no answer about my order because they're not able to answer you pay +€8 extra to have it in a simo parcel and in the end I have nothing in my purse.

Products displayed as available, but less rapid delivery than a well-known Hong Kong supplier. So it's hard to understand the 30% difference in price (including delivery). Buying in France is all very well, but for what quality of service? Please note: the status of my order remained "validated" until I replied to my complaint e-mail, when it suddenly changed to "parcel in preparation". Too bad it was the theoretical day I should have received it.

Great assortment but for cost we are not there.... For example, Italeri colors (I speak of complete kits) are on average € 500 more expensive than the competition. The merit though is the assortment--at the competition you often have to wait!

I'm very disappointed and I'm still waiting for delivery of my order made on November 6. Today is November 22 and there's still no delivery. I find this deplorable! I've been waiting 15 days. What's more, my card was debited immediately! They could do a deferred debit when the parcel only leaves their premises. We're in the run-up to Christmas, so it's a good thing they don't sell anything.

Yes, everything was almost perfect, the parcel was nice and efficient, the box arrived in good condition and everything was as ordered inside, but it took 8 days for the parcel to be posted. This is a point for improvement. Otherwise everything was fine.

The impropriety is due to the fact that if they cannot honor an order they do not return the money but create a ""voucher"" of equal value. My opinion is that this is unacceptable. The unreliability is due to 1) an item that appeared to be on hand but was not (see above) and 2) a series of emails stating an order was ready when it was not. Unavailable because they do not respond to messages on their own site and if they do they respond generically without having read the content. Conversely they also arrive 4 consecutive emails to all say that a product has been shipped. As an aggravation after the first order I had warned that they would be ""under observation"" at the next one (which I MUST have placed because they would not return my money) and they behaved exactly the same way. The two stars because in the end MUCH AFTER THE EXPECTED DATES but the items actually available arrived to me.

Hello I don't mind if you don't have all the references, but in this case your supplier is not performing well. The least you can do is let the customer know. This purchase was planned for a birthday on the 21st. I don't count on it anymore. I thought 9 days was enough (36 hours for English sites!). I was wrong. I wanted to be civic-minded and use a French company. Wrong again. Yours faithfully A.

Order delivered late for an unavailable model, even though it is shown as available on the quotation, due to a stock management problem?

It's a shame that the choice of products is sometimes limited. Personally, I'd like to see more choices for the dragon brand.

Very well stocked and constantly updated web store. You pay for quality but you can save a few euros with their promos on historical events or free shipping.

Hello, I have been waiting over 4 months for my money from a plane that was delivered to me damaged. Of course I sent it back within 2 days. At first I was told that the parcel was missing, but after two months they said yes, we will refund the money. I had to call in a lawyer because I was always put off. Please remember that French law is not the same as German law. MfG Please keep your hands off this store

No problems with the quality of the product, the care of the packaging or the delivery. On the other hand, I found the order preparation time (it took exactly 6 calendar days from the time I placed my order to the time it was dispatched) a little long. In comparison, delivery by Colissimo (only 15 calendar days!) is extremely fast! 1001 Maquettes could do with a little improvement.

[UPDATE]: Order paid but not taken into account: I had to send an email for my order to be taken into account even though my account had been debited. Then, although the order was sent, I never received it. Despite numerous emails, no solution was found. The company offered me a 20€ gift voucher to compensate me for a 65€ order that I will never see (is this a joke?).

1001 maquettes lives up to its name by offering a very wide choice of products in all fields, and it's rare not to find what you're looking for. however, prices are higher and processing times a little longer.
