NOPE NOPE! I will NEVER again order from them. I ordered something a LONG time ago for my husband's birthday and still never showed. I've reached out to them a few times and each time they said it was coming. This last time they wrote back and said unfortunately it's a loss. REALLY?? Super unprofessional !

Absolutely terrible customer service March 2020 update: Still waiting February 2020 update: Several weeks later, after claiming to be processing a refund, I am still waiting. Absolutely terrible customer service, waited a month for an item that showed as shipped only to be told they marked as shipped as a mistake with no resolution. Even in their reply below, you can see how half hearted their customer service is. I never received even an apology and am still waiting for a refund. Do not purchase from this website. As you can continue to see below, they have never even attempted to apologize, just more dumb jokes. This was a late gift request from my nephew and I was thrilled to see in stock here because it was sold out everywhere else. Instead the order stalled after a couple of days, reading as 'shipped' with no update or communication. Not everyone is in on your brand of humor, some people just want to buy a thing and have it delivered to the address provided in the time frame that was given at check, you know, like how all e-commerce sites work. Not this one though, they will not deliver your order and think they're cool with insider humor while doing it. I'm sure whatever self-important reply they have next will only continue to show how little they care about their customers. Literally all that needed to be said, was 'We're so sorry, we will process a refund' or you could have provided any update to shipping when something was clearly stalled for about 3 weeks on an order that should have been delivered within one.

Hello sir, It was shipped, we told you it was probably lost due to the time and we proposed you different solutions. Edit: Sir, we have answer you e-mais and have asked for the refund which takes place within two weeks following the time we have asked as written in our sales condition. I am sorry I didn't answer to : ""So no apology? Just some stupid jokes? This is the epitome of absolutely terrible customer service. Go fuck yourself."" Following my answer : ""Hello Mr. Harris, We are not a scam, one of our team member just made a mistake and ship it as en eco delivery and not Express ... Celestine went straight to the Warp ... I have asked for a refund of your order as it is unfortunatly unavailable at the moment with GW. Hail Hydra ... I mean the Emperor sorry,"" Second edit: Sir, Buying with us doesn't allow you to be insulting as you were and not use the minimum of politness, we are still human being answering to you. We understand you are disapointed that you didn't receive the gift. We had preferred to use humor to answer your harsh emails. We care a lot about our customer and we do as much as we can when they allow us when it is possible. Sincerely,

On December 27th I made the purchase in which it said that it would take 8 days to arrive and today I still have not received anything and the woman who attends in Spain all she does is to give capotazos and not make it clear where it is or how long it will take.

Hello Great choice of parts---> good! Availability indicated on the site---> good! Actual availability ---> very bad! Order placed on 29.12.19 we are today 12.01.20 and nothing received. Several telephone exchanges with nice people but everything is complicated! My delivery address at a "point relai" doesn't seem to be taken into account...what can you do when you're not at home during the day...?! That's why I asked and insisted again and again to be delivered where I wanted from the start, i.e. at a relay point! I request a refund for items not yet dispatched as soon as possible! Thank you for taking this into account so that I can also take this into account in the future.

The order took longer than indicated. When it arrived it turned out that we had made a mistake with the order due to a bad description of it. We had to contact the support in France because the one here did not answer. Their response was basically that I made a mistake.

I placed my order on December 18 and it still hasn't arrived, even though they said it would be delivered before Christmas. I should have read the reviews before I probably would not have ordered it.

Hello, It is stated on the product page as well as your recapitulative cart when you order. Thank you for taking in account the information we provide. As well even with product on a delay before expedition, some people prefer Express shipping. We cannot cancel the safest way of delivery because information are not read. Sincerely,

There is a lot of choice on this website. However, out of 2 orders placed, one arrived with a delay and the second, placed on December 13, was marked available within 5 days but had not yet been sent on December 23. I requested a cancellation by phone and was asked to send an e-mail. I sent an e-mail. Since then, nothing. On all serious sites, a refund for an unpaid order paid via Pay Pal is instantaneous, max. 24 hours. In this case, it's been 2 weeks. It's sad because the catalog is nice but I'll go elsewhere because the trust isn't there. I've taken note of your reply, thank you, and that's indeed what I did. I obtained a refund via Paypal. I hope you will improve things

Toen ik het aankreeg na 3 weken wachten ( wat al te laat was ) was dit heel slecht ingepakt en er zat geen kaartje bij. Ik kon wel door de grond zinken van schaamte.

Nothing to say about 1001 Hobbies who graciously gave me a discount. On the other hand, Mondial Relay is not up to scratch: in total, delivery 15 days after my order: 1 week to attempt a 1st delivery BUT THE POINT RELAIS IS NOT IN SERVICE (this is not my responsibility) then a 2nd week to deliver to the new Point Relay. If you have service agreements, you must sanction them. I don't have the possibility of doing so, which is my responsibility.

Totally disappointed by the service An order made on 1612 and arrived after Christmas and the New Year (reception on 0201) The site indicated that the order had been given to the carrier on 2612 but this one was given on 3012 and the order was ready from 1912 (information given by your site) The product is very good but not the expedition Moreover I had asked for a gift package with a note of accompaniment and the package was delivered.

The company 1001 MAQUETTES does not communicate. I sent 2 emails to this company on 101219 and 131219 to ""contact 1001 maquettes"" and ""contact 1001 hobbies"". Today on 01012020, 3 weeks later, I have received no reply to my complaint, which was as follows (order no. 181900) The lids of paint pots no. SM 378 and MATT 9 cannot be lifted. I used a screwdriver to lift the lids little by little over the whole surface of the round but the lids won't lift. The whole surface of the lids is now damaged. What should I do? If not, can you send me back these 2 pots of paint (REVE00378 dark grey satin and REVE00109 anthracite grey matt) and before sending, can you check that the lids lift up without any problem? According to the TRUSTPILOT reviews, the company seems honest and serious, but be careful with the HELLER paint pots, some of which are defective. They must be trying to resell defective HELLER paint cans, or maybe it's counterfeit? because not answering 2 e-mails and hiding is a p

I will never shop here again. I got the broken glue and all the paint cans stained with glue. I sent them an email explaining that we had cleaned the paint cans but the glue was broken and to send us a new one. They replied that I should send them the status of the order and see you later Lucas. I have emailed them twice and have not heard back. I have also called them by phone but they don't answer in Spanish and there is never anyone on the chat page. If you pay for a product in advance, the least they can do is to take care of it if something arrives in the wrong place.
