Ordered on 10.01. Confirmation of receipt of payment on 12.01. (so far great!) but only on 17.01. the notification that the items have been shipped. This is ok so far but not a top value. If items are not immediately available, a notification to the customer would be desirable. All in all, I will certainly not have ordered for the last time). Unfortunately, the majority of my orders (and those of well-known model makers) go to other dealers who offer the same items at significantly lower prices. The price difference of items I recently ordered from other stores ranges from insignificant to unbelievable. insignificantly similar price Aires cockpit for 1499€ - other store as well - ordered from 1001modellbau unbelievable Tamiya item for 3299€ - ordered from other store for 1895€ - Tamya recommendation: 2350 $ (Attention: Dollar) - I don't even pay the difference in a store with good advice and provided coffee! Italeri article for 2199€ - ordered from another store for 1495€ Conclusion - absolutely praiseworthy huge selection especially for scaffolding sets (here also comparable prices). - fast confirmation of receipt of payment with prepayment (that makes a good gut feeling) - relatively fast shipping - unfortunately clearly too expensive for kits (sometimes almost double the price compared to the competition) ... this messes up many orders that would end up with you at a comparable price because I (and also model building colleagues) would place them with the scaffolding parts Since the price is no secret and everything else is serious, there are still 4 stars.

very slow shipping, slow customer service response time i thought the selection and pricing was pretty comparable, if not slightly lower than a few other places for the parts i was looking at. they also had the specific combination of parts, which i would have had to order from multiple places to get. but there was almost a full 3 weeks between ordering and delivery. while i was notified that the item was being prepared to ship, then another when it was just about to ship, then another when it did ship, i did not receive a single email answering my questions regarding the order. i might consider ordering again just for a second chance, but if shipping is the same speed, i'll go elsewhere for what i need...

All is well, that ends well, i suppose... Initial order confusion, and difficult communication. Took time and Email discussions to get order back on track. Order delayed and was split into 2 parts. With delays, order was finely completed.

Very satisfied with the products ordered. On the other hand very disappointed with your site for the management of addresses (billing and delivery) Nothing is respected even after calling your sales department. A piece of advice: improve your site for delivery and everything will be fine.

I'd like to add a little something to my assessment. I've just read a number of comments and I've noticed that customer service very often tends to blame the end-of-year festivities for delays. However, as far as I'm concerned, my order was placed after the festivities and delivery still took 15 days.

After several orders for products supposedly""available"" it turns out that on 1001maquettes these products are not in stock! This is regrettable, and in the end delays are lengthened. Shipping costs are exorbitant! Paying €890 plus shipping to receive a bubble envelope with your products in it is, in my opinion, taking the piss!

Received torn packaging surrounded by tape ""La Poste"" for the package to hold and a callage really done in a hurry that did not allow the model to arrive unscathed.

Slow, misleading e-mails- Took way too long to get order- was a cc order on-line, so saw no reason to wait the two weeks. Got many e-mails from the the whole time, misleading me into thinking ""it'll be here the next day or so""- actually a week or so more. I'll remember this in the future.
Response from 1001hobbies
Dear sir, The reason for this delay is that most of the products have to be transferred from our European location first. Best regards, 1001modelkits

Item was delivered well after it was promised and horrible customer service I ordered a model to be delivered for the holidays, and it ended up being delivered a couple of weeks late. Attempted to contact the seller several times without response. Do not recommend.

Unreliable and Unavailable 1001models is a horrible company that does not return e-mails or voice mails for weeks. They listed a model on their site with no mention that it was unavailable, then they e-mailed me it would ship in a few days, when in truth it was actually out of stock. After numerous e-mails and voice mails I finally got a note stating it was out of stock. This company is horrible do not do business with them. Oh and after I canceled this model order not once but twice they still shipped it 2 weeks later.

Not very good: I have several addresses registered with 1001 maquettes. I asked for delivery to my home address, but unfortunately the orders are systematically sent to my work address, even though I selected the right address when ordering (this has happened to me twice). I ordered several products indicated as available. Finally I received an e-mail telling me that one product was unavailable, but that the other 2 had been shipped anyway (so far, so good). Then I receive an email with a credit corresponding to the product that wasn't shipped. As I wanted this product, I ordered it on the site a few days later as it was available again. I ordered it but had to pay the shipping costs again. It's a pity when they could have sent it to me separately at no extra cost, as they do.

what can I say???? voilà I decided to get back into model making and after a""surfÃ"" on a multitude of sites I came across 1001....... I appreciated the wide choice in models the simplicity of navigation..... to finally place an order....... aie..... a few days later an e-mail telling me that as soon as my order had been ""processed"" I would be notified.... then.... the wait..... in short.... more than 15 days before receiving my purchase.... (fortunately no bad surprises on opening) very disappointed by the abnormally long wait in view of the delivery costs.... really dommag

I won't do business with them again! I made an online purchase. I was under the impression it was being shipped from overseas. I was charged excessive shipping fees (more than the item cost). It was shipped from within the states. It arrived broken. I emailed them with my concerns and asked for a reply. Never received a reply!

After a few stomach aches regarding orders from abroad, my negative expectations were not confirmed. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the foreign bank transfer with its endless chains of numbers. The model was also delivered within a reasonable time. I will order from 1001Maquettes again.

I appreciated your customer service and the tracking of shipments. However, I regret that there are too often the same models in double or triple reference, while some French naval aviation models are unobtainable in the catalog. COrd
