I find that a little over 10 days to receive a product in stock is a long time! especially since the order was processed a few days later ... too bad! As for the parcel, the packaging was more or less appropriate for the contents (decal sheet). All in all, I think order processing needs to be improved, otherwise the products on sale are very interesting.

My experience takes place in 2 acts. In December 2011, I ordered various items, all of which were available. On receipt of the parcel, a part is missing. I asked for a refund, but the store refused on the grounds that I was using a credit card. I was then given a credit note for the amount of the part (22 euros from which I would have to subtract the shipping costs, of course). The model was also available and I asked for it to be sent within 48 hours (this is obviously more expensive than normal shipping). It's nothing to write home about, but it's still a pain. There are a number of French and foreign sites that are much more reliable when it comes to ve

Really very disappointed by this site I ordered the 0209 and paid extra to have it in 5 to 6 days (colissimo) but it's only the 1809 that I received the email informing me of the shipment. I find this unacceptable and will no longer order from your site as it was for my son's birthday. To be avoided! I can also go through the parent companies for

product availability (or not) would be a plus at the time of ordering. It's never pleasant to pay for a product and wait several weeks for it to arrive from the other side of the world.

The service was impeccable, and arrangements for a pending order were accepted without a hitch. An effort remains to be made on the description of the articles a comment""maison"" would be welcome and on certain illustrations not ""zoomable"".

I didn't receive the right order and had to send the package at my expense to the other customer. He did the same. In return, the shipping costs will be offered on the next order. I am therefore obliged to order in order to be reimbursed.

VERY good collection and very good choice. Selling price in line with French competitors, except for Hasegawa. Academy is very good quality. For me this first test remains convincing but I continue to consult other European site in spite of the shipping costs. To finish, a negative point in my opinion, with an order placed before the weekend, arriving the following Friday for 150€, I find it very light. Bonne Continuation Ac

A little low to ship, no contact with client, merchandise pristine Since my order was shipped almost 15 days after i order and in those days i receive no mail or status of my order, i was afraid i lost my money since info says they're in Arkansas. July 5, status says Order in progress (the items will in our facility in 5-6 days) I order July 3, order arrive July 27. But the order arrive pristine, good package. I was thinking rating 3 stars, for no keep client informed. I receive package first and mail status 1 day after. If merchandise not in stock at Arkansas, they must informed client about order in progress from 1001maquettes.fr Do i order again, yes i'll do, was new experience.

Nice selection weakness in follow-thru. I ordered six kits and got a confirmation of the order and notification that the order was filled. Then, two weeks passed with no comment whatsoever. I prodded with an email. They looked into it, then told me it was in transit. What I received was one kit short of the order and no explanation was provided.

I bought the model of the dodge charger RT 1969 replica GENERAL LEE which is in fact a drag version of the charger wheels a little big and the front fenders cut... but the car looks great if you add a few things that aren't in the rear seat/center console kit, remember to get the brown color for the interior and dashboard that isn't shown on the photo.... (it's black on the blister). I'm saying this because no one at customer service could tell me what the original model was worth in terms of identification... Only the decalcos are official... The customer service I called 2 times to be sure that the ORANGE s""translucent" paint was indeed a body paint but unfortunately the people I spoke to on the phone didn't know what they were talking about... So I bought a headlight paint and not a body paint. That's 2 pieces of information that didn't allow me to be sure of my purchase and what's more with the wrong paint because the site lacks a link to brush and glue paints for the model in question.... really too bad. I went to a model store to buy body and interior paint. Unfortunately, I ended up with a 5-euro can of paint that's useless to me and that I can't return because the return is more expensive than the can. So I won't be buying from 1001maquette again. But for a model-building pro who knows what to buy, it's an excellent site, but for a rusty guy like me, I'd have liked the support I've been getting.

The site is pleasant to visit, the product range is abundant and very often the prices are among the lowest on the market. Communication with sales staff is good. A small error concerning delivery times: items shown as being in stock on the site require a few days before dispatch (order relayed to the supplier). Shipping is therefore not immediate, even though the order appears to be processed. That said, a very conclusive first experience

In terms of communication and speed of delivery, nothing to complain about. The only drawback is that, despite the rigid cardboard packaging, the box containing my model arrived dented and therefore damaged at two corners, which is a bit messy for a gift. The fault lies more with the carrier than with the merchant site, but it would be a good idea to think about stronger packaging.

Handling takes ffffoooorrreeevvveeerrrr I live close to wherever 1001modelkits ships from in Detroit, and because of the short, one-day mail turn-around I can tell how long they take to prep and ship a tiny (three glass bottles) order. Roughly a week, if not a tad more. Way too long to prep an order, unless you're offsetting that with free shipping.

Dear sir, THe items are pre-shipped from Europe, which explains the longer shipping times. We usually ship in 10-12 days wherever in the US. Best regards, 1001 Modelkits
