Ordered the Escalation Box Ordered the Escalation Box, Black Fortress. Weeks had passed and I'm still waiting despite it was mention on the web-site there are 4 items in stock. Now, as I see that I've ordered the wrong version of the box I can't find a way to cancel the order and get the refund. Highly dissappointing.

Order placed on 19122020 for delivery on the 30th. Cancellation requested on the 28th, even though the article had still not been dispatched and I had found a cheaper and faster alternative from a competitor. E-mail from 28122020 accepting the cancellation and refunding my first monthly payment. On 05012021 I receive an e-mail informing me that my item (supposed to be delivered on 30122020) has been shipped, but should never have been shipped. So I have to go to my local parcel shop to refuse the parcel and wait for it to be returned, just to get my refund for my first payment. This is unacceptable. It's the first and last time I'll be committing a fraud.

Madam, Sir, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to point out that due to the Covid-19, Brexit, and the increases in parcels, this carrier has a lot of trouble keeping reasonable deadlines. We make a point of sending an email to accelerate the taking in charge of the parcel. We ask for a little patience. Moreover, if you do not like the model you received, you can return it to us. We apologize for the delay. Happy new year 2021. Customer Care 1001hobbies

Since you ask for a review: very bad experience! Order placed on December 16 for what was supposed to be a Christmas gift. First of all I was told that an item had to be retrieved from the supplier. The item according to your emails was not shipped until 3112. To date no package received the SDA tracking number appears to be non-existent. I sincerely hope it will arrive but reading the other comments I am very afraid!!! And then they wonder why one buys on Amazon.

Well-priced TAMIYA acrylic paints. Satisfactory delivery time despite the constraints of the pandemic. Products received in suitable packaging and fully compliant with my order&""" bémo"" : all paint bottles are covered with an adhesive warning against the harmfulness of the adhesive product affixed to the original TAMIYA label ... and masking the reference of the shade ... which can be removed provided you tear it off with the original label! MORE THAN ANNOYING!!! Fortunately, I'd kept my own order list (with reference no. and name).

Dear Sir or Madam I placed an order with you on 13.12. because the situation was presented in such a way that the desired products were immediately available (= in stock). On 14.12. I received a confirmation of this order. It was not until 23.12. that I was informed that delivery would be delayed because 2 of the 3 products were not in stock and could not be ordered. There is no contact address on the homepage. At the same time, the possibility of telephone advice is advertised. Nobody can be reached via the number, which is also almost impossible to find. I would like to cancel the entire order but I can't reach anyone. I have never experienced so little customer service. As I paid with Paypal, this will be the next step. I will wait another day to see if there is a response this way. A. Büttner It has now been six days and still no money has been refunded!!!

Might be good if you explain which country you are actually operating and sourcing from. It isn't too clear from the site.

Inconsistent customer service following the loss of my parcel ordered on December 12. Terse emails with no explanation of how to replace the order or even refund it. No contact number. Today is 040121I have no news of my €70 which has gone up in smoke. The children are still waiting for their presents.

I placed an order on December 15 for paints and a paint-tool kit. To date, on January 4, my order has still not been dispatched. They justified this by saying that the kit in question was no longer in stock, even though it was available when I placed my order. What's more, I paid for a more expensive Colissimo delivery, only to receive nothing. So I cancelled my order and am waiting for a refund. Regarding the models, I find it shameful that, given the price of some of them (Titanic 03719 model at over 400 euros), neither paint nor tools are supplied. What's more, the prices on the site are unjustified. The same Titanic model at 340 euros on Amazon with delivery.

I can confirm the long delivery time already described in the other reviews. Unfortunately, the box of the model I ordered was damaged at the corners (torn and dented) although it was properly packed. It must therefore have been sent off with defects. As a gift, this was quite unattractive. Fortunately, the model itself is fine. For the price and a handling fee of almost 10! euros, I expect the goods to be in perfect condition.

Good evening I was expecting a fully assembled model or at least a rigid body structure, but my friend (it was a gift) received a piece of plastic (to be filled with plaster?) and some poor quality decals, not even all the external parts. I'd like my money back (satisfied or reimbursed) but I'm told it's impossible at the moment.

The delivery unfortunately took a long time It was stated on the website that there were 120 paint strips in it However, there were only 20 paint strips with 6 jars each so you have 120 jars but not 120 paint strips

I cannot rate my order any lower. Not only did it arrive more than 15 days late according to the date indicated, but they also did not send one of the items I had purchased because they did not have it in stock. Not content with that, they have not even written me to tell me that they did not send it but they send me a discount voucher for that amount instead of making the refund because it is not a return but a failure in their warehouse. They impose an abusive price (about 70 euros) to avoid paying shipping costs and try to correct their mistake with a discount voucher that of course I do not intend to use because I do not intend to trust this company.
