My Axion glider Good company to get parts for my Axion Cumulus glider from very few parts are available in the UK. Unfortunately they take ages to deliver from ordering to delivery can be up to 5 weeks. But as we can't get parts in the UK we have no choice.

Dear customer, We apologize for the inconvenience. As you pointed out, some products are very hard to find and we sometimes have longer delays to get a resupply for those specific items. Best regards, Customer service 1001modelkits

As for the caravel models, I received two straight hulls of the Santa Maria, and the Nina was not packaged, so I don't know if anything is missing. As for the rest, I'm completely satisfied, including with the delivery times. I tried to contact the service by phone to ask them to rectify their error, but I couldn't reach anyone, so I left a message. I'm waiting for a reply so that I can make a definitive decision if the necessary steps are taken, and I'll be fully satisfied with the service. I've just received the two pieces of hull, and I'm fully satisfied with the after-sales service. I recommend

impeccable order but the packaging seemed a little too fragile for paint and the cardboard was damaged. Apart from that, it was delivered on time and nothing was missing.

Bjr. The products and prices are good, but why on earth such long delivery times! The mention""produit en stock expédié sous 2"" seems to me to be a commercial argument without foundation. Products ordered on the 5th (all marked in stock etc...) received on the 13th evening (dispatched on the 13th).

Products were as ordered and well packaged, but the delivery time was far too long (over 10 days, whereas most websites nowadays deliver their products within 2 to 4 days). Big point to improve

I don't know if 1001 maquettes is responsible but I have a big problem. I received an e-mail from mondial relai telling me that my order had been delivered to the relay point, so I went to pick it up but no luck, it wasn't there. I tried to contact Mondial Relai on Tuesday 9517 but they were out of order. I call again on 10517 and they're still out of order, so I haven't received my order and I'm not happy.

Ordered Paid Goods not received. Service not available by phone. Service contacted by e-mail, no answer, Paypal switched on, no reaction, well what else can I say, I guess now comes the standard answer that it is a problem with DHL, so is usually responded to reviews that are related to not received goods. DHL is certainly also to blame for the fact that the customer service shows no reaction and that the buyer is not given a shipment number. fortunately not all online stores are so modest Since I unfortunately cannot answer the received answer to this evaluation in any other way, I add this one. there was no refund and no goods so far. the case with Paypal is still open and also no reaction to date.Above all, I wonder how there can be a problem with the product if the goods are already out, has someone at DHL checked the contents and told them that, for me it borders on fraud what is going on with this company, just excuses or silence, take money and not deliver, I don't know what they call it in France but here in Germany we call it fraud.

An order dispatched on April 14th and due to arrive between the 24th and the 28th and still not in my possession on May 2nd, despite a 5.99€ delivery charge, does not encourage me to buy from you again, when I see that a competitor delivers to Belgium the next day, and this without any delivery charge !!!!! I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards

I placed an order on 0104, which was accepted on 0304, with a delivery date between 1204 and 1704 (more than 10 days, which is already a long time). When I saw nothing coming on 1904, I contacted the after-sales service and apparently there were 2 products that were not available. The available products were sent to me on 2704, i.e. 24 days after the order. This is unacceptable. Since 1904 there has been another order of other products of which I still have no news and now it's going to be almost a month. I might as well tell you that I'm very unhappy. I specialize in 2nd World War aircraft. I've placed quite a few orders on this site, if memory serves, but this will be the last. There are other model sites on the net. Here I am

The experience has been NEGATIVE. They lost the package and I had to claim it several times. No one answered my email. When they finally answer and tell me that they will send it to me again, they send you a lot of automatic emails that are useless. Total: Almost a month to receive it. Now comes the worst: the quality is horrible, the photo of the outside looks absolutely nothing like the content (tiny gray pieces without any color) ... thank goodness it did not reach 15 euros (not even the crappiest Chinese has that quality) ... I will not buy anything from them again.

Over a month ago I found on the ""1001 models"" site some products at really competitive prices. When I tried to purchase them, the system informed me that these products I requested would be available in about a month, and so I was willing to wait patiently. At my request to be notified when the items were available a few days ago I received an e-mail from the company informing me that the items were back in stock and so I set out to purchase them as described on the website. On 2142017 I made my choices by placing the products in the shopping cart I made the payment and after a few hours I received an e-mail titled [1001 MODELS] Order Confirmation Fri 214 20:23 with which I received the thank you for ordering from them with the details of the order the order number the amount paid with even the payment method and the description of the products purchased. Monday 244 at 09:16 further e-mail informing me: your order code xxxxxx has been prepared! the same day at 11:09 again an e-mail with the tenor: """Dear Customer The items you ordered are unfortunately out of stock and we do not know when it will be available again. Would you prefer to choose products of equivalent value receive a voucher or get a refund? Thank you for your kind understanding Customer Service 1001 models.co.uk 1001 MODELS poweredby Presta ShopTM"". What can I say I protested that I had made a valid purchase and in the manner indicated so much so that an invoice was also issued in my name and moreover on the site the products I requested were making a good impression but with an exorbitant price compared to that previously charged therefore the products were there and were not sent to me deliberately. after that on April 25 I received a last email whose text is this: "" Hello Massimo the availability of the items has not yet been updated. I confirm that those items are not available. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will refund your order as soon as possible. Sincerely. I surrendered in the face of the arrogance of those who hide behind a site and did not have the courage to admit their mistake and that is that the products were advertised at a very advantageous price perhaps by mistake or for a specific purpose (I do not want to investigate) but then contrary to the laws of the market preferred to say that there was no more availability instead of making a disadvantageous supply. that's it: you decide of the reliability of this company.

The site offers a wide choice of paints. I was able to find what I was looking for. However, I was very disappointed by the delivery. I opted for an express delivery for foreign countries in order to be delivered before the weekend (delivery announced between Wednesday and Friday). This cost me over 30 euros (for 48 euros worth of goods). The parcel was only prepared on Wednesday and arrived on MONDAY! With express delivery at this price, the least you can do is respect the deadlines. Normal delivery cost half the price and was announced for Tuesday... What's more, when I opened the long-awaited parcel, the matte yellow enamel paint I'd ordered had been replaced by aquacolor acrylic!?!! In view of the return conditions (non-refundable delivery and return costs), it's better to deal with it, as the error of the prepayment is not to be taken into account.

Compared to other internet merchants, 1001 maquettes has its shortcomings and refunds for items not supplied are not prompt. So I only go to 1001 maquettes if I can't find it anywhere else. In addition to the slow shipping compared to the prices ordered from you and ordered from rue des maquettes on the same date, your packages usually arrive 45 days after your competitor with the same price.

It took too long to ship my order and … It took too long to ship my order and then DHL is providing a bad service, my order( a book) is still in custom now and DHL is not helpful in getting my stuff out. So this is my experience so far, as for the quality of the order, no comment yet because I have not receive it yet!
Response from 1001hobbies
Dear customer, Your order was sent on the 06/04/17, 5 working days after you placed your order. This delay corresponds to the information on our website. Unfortunately the custom clearence process is tacking quite long for DHL in China and we can't do anything about it at the moment. We hope you will soon receive your order.
