Stock not updated. Waste of time and dialogue I am very disappointed for so-called professionals! Order received after 15 days and incomplete. A real mess and impossible to reach them by phone. I'll never order again and I'm sorry

I ordered a shipment (120762) on 18122017. The delivery time they gave me was between the 22nd and 23rd, that is 45 days. We are at 28122017 and I have not received it nor have I received any notification. I did it adjusting to my work dates and now all my plans have been disrupted.

1st order and my last! To flee absolutely... Items supposedly in stock and after 6 days they send you a message saying that the items are unavailable.... Disgraceful to cash the money and ask if you want a similar replacement item... Too easy to make money on the backs of people !!!! Waiting for the refund of my articles which is not immediate... I advise you to stay away from this scam store.

The delivery worked perfectly. I am very disappointed with the contents of the box - the ship itself. I would have expected more DIY work and fewer prefabricated stamped parts. Far too few details were shown on the Internet. But this is only in passing. The description (text) is more than poor and the pictures are inadequate. I have built many ship models but I have never experienced such a lack of transparency in the pictures and figures. And that for a lot of money. WHAT A SHAME!

Order not received I placed an order around December 3rd and as of December 27th I've not received my order. I looked into the way your company sent your orders and I'm not sure how you sent my order is from the USA or did it ship from over seas? Received my order today December 29th ! It was sent to the wrong address and it's on telling how long it took for them to send it back to the post office. The products look great look forward to doing business in the future.

Order placed on 111117 one month later still no parcel delivered. I ask customer service about the status of my order because I haven't received anything. They tell me I'm missing half my items and that they'll send what they have in stock. In exchange he gives me a credit note for the amount of the 2 items I'm missing, plus free delivery. A week later I see the items I'm missing are available again on the site. I send an email to customer service and they tell me that the items I'm missing are not available. I find that the service is not at all of quality it is the first that it happens to me with such a level of incompetence. I am very disappointed with the customer service and the management.

My opinion is mixed. they seemed very professional until I received my parcel of 8 paints with a completely dry pot of matt white inside. it wasn't even possible to stick the tip of a knife into it, so to speak. I contacted them by chat and the person suggested 2 times that I use solvent to dilute it!!!!! but it's as hard as a rock, it won't do any good to dilute it!!!!!! And when I ask for an exchange, no reply. I really wonder if he knows the paints he's selling. In short, you shouldn't order everything from them, especially with a commercial return like this that doesn't exist if you have a penny to your name.

The product is of high quality, but it's unacceptable to charge for such poor gift-wrapping. It looks like a 5-year-old has wrapped it.

Unfortunately, I can't rate the product as I gave it away. And it would be far too early to rate it. The delivery time was quite long at around three weeks. The money was transferred on 30.11.17 when I ordered it. The package arrived on 15.12.17. I don't know what happened between 30.11 and 11.12 when the package was announced but at least it was two weeks. Sorry.

Upset...disappointed. I am very upset. When I ordered, the website said delivery by Dec 23rd. I ordered a gift on December 9th! I still have not received it and it is now Dec 24th. It was a sentimental gift from the kids to their father. The website should have said Christmas delivery not guaranteed instead it said 'in stock, delivered by Dec 23rd.' I would have ordered it somewhere else. Poor customer service!

The model ordered is beautiful ... BUT THE DELIVERY SERVICE was long and not optimal: I followed the route from France to Italy and saw that the package traveled in France in as many as 4 destinations ... until it arrived in Normandy then in Bergamo in Milan and finally in my city. So very long delivery time ...

Products ok and packaging ok but on a suggestion level maybe it would be worth stating more realistic delivery time ando packaging. It took more than 3 days for a prompt delivery model. I placed the order on December 8 to receive it on the 20th. It seems a tad excessive as a timeline. On a general level, however, I am satisfied.

The items ordered arrived in perfect condition. On the other hand, the website contains errors and the explanations are inadequate. The biggest problem is the delivery time. The waiting time is far too long.

disappointed Hello, I ordered a 1/18 scale diecast (Signature) Studebaker Avanti. It took the better part of three week's to go from France to the United States (Wisconsin) When the carrier gave me the box I could hear a rattling noise inside, when I took the window box out I could see parts on the bottom of the box The complete front suspension was sheered off the car, both front wheels, there related spindles, and the tie rod. Now decision time, go thru all the B.S. to send it back, and then wait another month , or fix it my self. So I took the car apart and make a custom front suspension, it took me six hours. (This is what caused the destruction,) they must of packed the window box on a Friday night. They simply put the window box inside a bigger box with nothing to protect it. no bubble wrap, no foam peanuts. not even the local rag, no fragile tape on the outside (NOTHING) no wonder it was so severely damaged. I was looking forward to working with a company in France, but frankly I couldn't afford it.

Erg vervelende ervaring. Erg vervelende ervaring. Op de pagina van de producten stond ""Binnen 24 uur verzonden"". Het duurde uiteindelijk 2 weken voordat het eindelijk was verstuurd. Waar ik er zelf achteraan moest bellen en dan pas informatie kreeg. De eerste keer zeiden ze dat het nog diezelfde week werd verzonden. Dan was uiteindelijk niet zo. Pas na een tweede keer bellen werd het eindelijk verzonden. Het bleek een Franse klantenservice te zijn, zonder dat dit ergens vermeld staat. De persoon aan de telefoon was erg slecht te verstaan en ook zeer onvriendelijk. Hij onderbrak mij meerdere malen en zodra ik begon over ontevreden zijn probeerde hij het gesprek zo snel mogelijk af te kappen. Het product was ook nog eens beschadigd bij afleveren. Dit heb ik uiteindelijk zelf maar gerepareerd omdat ik geen zin heb om met deze mensen zaken te doen. Kortom. Hier niet bestellen!

I ordered an etching film on 14.10.2017 and have not received it to date on 16.12.2017 despite repeated e-mail contact. Supposedly sent then not available again. The announced refund has not been made to date either. For me, 1001 modellbau is a completely incompetent model making supplier with catastrophic customer service. - A.Stöbe Gotha
