Product conforms to the order and the delivery time was respected. I appreciated the message informing me of availability at the collection point, which is becoming more widespread. On the other hand, which explains the low overall score, the packaging is particularly defective: fragile cardboard, leading to partial crushing of the parcel, closing of the parcel with unprofessional green adhesive tape not suitable for long-distance transport, leaving access to the i

Not easy to find the right brand of model. Delivery takes longer than expected, as you have to wait for collection, preparation and finally delivery. On the other hand, there's a huge choice of models and accessories.

Awful service Good were only shipped after nearly 2 weeks ( despite showing as in stock ), they were only shipped after I said to cancel the order. Up until that point all I was getting told was that the goods will be sent soon. Furthermore the goods weren't sent by royal mail but by hermes , they very rarely deliver down my road. Oh and the items were left on my doorstep.

delivery time too long and explanations of delivery times anything but clear: order validation time + delivery time expressed in working days + delivery time. In the end, an order placed on 82 was delivered on 202. By the way, I ordered a Humbrol (HU033) enamel paint and received an acrylic paint.

to give a correct grade, you'd have to have received the package....who's wandering where? the carrier got it, then didn't...so whose fault is that? it's clear to me that I won't be making any more purchases from 10001 ...because it was supposed to arrive within 3 to 4 days... and now it's double..... so who's taking me for a fool? the deliveryman or 1001 maquettes ....who was supposed to give it as a gift to a kid tomorrow night? now it's ruined... I can't take it anymore!

Product ordered and never received. I was always the one who had to ask for news: the company is not responsive at all in responding to emails. Fortunately paid by PayPal and therefore refunded. I waited over a month to write this review to give the company a chance to fix the problem--not even an apology from them.... I rarely leave reviews but in this case I was taken for a ride so it seems only fair to let them know.

For a basic order (all the items ordered were supposed to be in stock) it took me 6 phone calls and several messages to get the situation sorted out, as the site announced that the order was being prepared but not dispatched. The reason given was that certain products were not in stock (I repeat that everything was in stock at the outset). After more than a month, the order was finally received. That's a long time! I'm not a grudge-holder, I'll place another order to see if I can get it.

I would give zero stars if possible! I ordered a model areoplane kit on the 8th of December, 2017 and it never arrived. I got an email saying it had shipped on the 17th of December and it still never came. Despite contacting 1001 Models numerous times via their website, email, Facebook and phone (answering machine, my French friend even left a message in French!) they have never responded to me. I am extremely upset as I am out of pocket and my 90 year old grandfather is missing his Christmas present. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!

After 20 days from the accepted order and 2 ignored inquiries I am notified that a box is no longer available and that it would finally be shipped. A Christmas gift for a child thus became a gift for Epiphany! The reorder of the missing box was processed beyond the expected delivery time and with package thrown inside the condominium garden....

Ordered and paid for on 18.1.2017. Delivery time max. 2 weeks. 3.2.17 Request where the goods are. No reply. Still no goods today and still no reply. Too bad I imagined it would be different. NEW: On 8.2.2017 I finally received a message: The product you ordered is not available. You will receive a voucher for the amount paid. I requested a refund to my credit card. I wonder if this will be done. Legally it should work that way because I never said that I would or want to buy more products from 1001 modellbau. I DON'T WANT TO EITHER. 16.2.2017 the payment was credited. I think that's supppper. Thank you and my recommendation. It started out badly but the company finally acted positively.

I recommend buying from eu. The products offered come from other sellers who have a real after-sales service. I bought a Radio commander tank for a birthday. I had it delivered to a relay point because I didn't want the recipient to receive the package. It arrived on time. I went to pick it up around 2:15 p.m. Back home around 3:15 p.m., I opened the package to see what I'd bought because it was my first time ordering from 1001 Maquettes. The product corresponded to the description. however, in the box i found 2 pieces: one 3 cm long and a caterpillar tooth. following this discovery, i decided to test the product so as not to be surprised when i gave the gift. The vehicle rolls at an angle towards the right. the screw that closes the battery door on the remote control is also missing. i contact after-sales service, where i'm asked about the condition of the packaging and whether i can take photos of the pieces. I call the after-sales service again because I haven't heard from them, and they tell me that their supplier doesn't want to pay for repairs and that the tank has rolled and been damaged by a stone (I tested the product on my 2nd-floor balcony). I'd like to point out that I don't want to pay for the repairs either, as the product is brand new and I received it just like that. The person tells me that he's contacting his supplier again and that he'll keep me informed. When I don't get a reply from him, I send him an e-mail with the law concerning mail-order sales. Within 10 minutes, I get a reply from him saying that he was in the process of replying. He asked me to return the product to their supplier for an exchange. On Monday I went to the post office and returned the parcel. On Thursday, having heard nothing, I contacted 1001 maquettes again, who told me that the product had been repaired and would be returned. I asked them to replace the product and was told that it was out of stock. I also told them not to let the package arrive at my house. The person on the other end of the line told me that he'd contact his supplier for a replacement lead time. On Friday, having heard nothing again, I called back and the person in charge of the file could not be reached, even though I had called him at a time agreed with him. I hung up and shortly afterwards I received an e-mail telling me that the parcel had been returned by the supplier. I called again to find out where the parcel was to be delivered. The person I spoke to told me that they were calling their supplier and that they would send me an e-mail to keep me informed. I asked for the contact details of the person in charge. I never received this e-mail and the package arrived at my home, received by the recipient of the gift who, on behalf of the sender, immediately understood what it was. The product came back to repair mmande is still missing. I sent an email to make a request. I asked for the person in charge and was told: he'll call you back, but I'm still waiting for his call. For me, a customer of a classic model store for 10 years, this will be the only time I'll call them. I ordered from them because my shopkeeper was on holiday. 1001 maquettes doesn't deserve a star. PS I'm still waiting for the screw and the reimbursement of expenses.

I had the opportunity to place two orders on the site with great difficulty. Both times my children gave me a gift card for my birthday and for Christmas. Each time I had to enter the coupon number, I got an error message saying that the coupon was invalid or something! So to be able to validate my order I had to contact "" 1001 MAQUETTES""? This is where another big problem arises for me. The service is unreachable by phone when you send an email: no answer!!!. After 15 days of calls, we manage to get someone on the phone or in chat! Miraculously, we managed to integrate the coupon that had supposedly been deactivated, and finally we were able to validate the order... Personally, I'd never order from this site again, because the customer service is deplorable and the delivery times are not respected.

This is my first model. The delivery time is very long. And I'd rather do it twice than once. You have to order the paints after you've received the model.
