I'm very disappointed and I'm still waiting for delivery of my order made on November 6. Today is November 22 and there's still no delivery. I find this deplorable! I've been waiting 15 days. What's more, my card was debited immediately! They could do a deferred debit when the parcel only leaves their premises. We're in the run-up to Christmas, so it's a good thing they don't sell anything.

The impropriety is due to the fact that if they cannot honor an order they do not return the money but create a ""voucher"" of equal value. My opinion is that this is unacceptable. The unreliability is due to 1) an item that appeared to be on hand but was not (see above) and 2) a series of emails stating an order was ready when it was not. Unavailable because they do not respond to messages on their own site and if they do they respond generically without having read the content. Conversely they also arrive 4 consecutive emails to all say that a product has been shipped. As an aggravation after the first order I had warned that they would be ""under observation"" at the next one (which I MUST have placed because they would not return my money) and they behaved exactly the same way. The two stars because in the end MUCH AFTER THE EXPECTED DATES but the items actually available arrived to me.

Hello I don't mind if you don't have all the references, but in this case your supplier is not performing well. The least you can do is let the customer know. This purchase was planned for a birthday on the 21st. I don't count on it anymore. I thought 9 days was enough (36 hours for English sites!). I was wrong. I wanted to be civic-minded and use a French company. Wrong again. Yours faithfully A.

Order delivered late for an unavailable model, even though it is shown as available on the quotation, due to a stock management problem?

Hello, I have been waiting over 4 months for my money from a plane that was delivered to me damaged. Of course I sent it back within 2 days. At first I was told that the parcel was missing, but after two months they said yes, we will refund the money. I had to call in a lawyer because I was always put off. Please remember that French law is not the same as German law. MfG Please keep your hands off this store

1001 maquettes lives up to its name by offering a very wide choice of products in all fields, and it's rare not to find what you're looking for. however, prices are higher and processing times a little longer.

The website is impeccable and with a large stock but the prices are somewhat high. I placed a small test order for two pots of paint and as the shipping was expensive I included a small and cheap model. The shipment cost 850€ for a weight of 350 grams and it took 13 days to arrive. Although they should have given me a tracking code for the shipment I never received it nor did it appear in my account on their website. Expensive and slow I order things in China with cheaper shipping and it takes less time. Overall rating acceptable but the issue of shipping should be more

I ordered a book on 6.12. 2013!!!! that was available according to the online store by prepayment. After receiving payment on 12.12.2013, I was promised delivery within 6 to 9 days! The fact is that to this day (28.10.2014!!!! after more than 10 months) I have neither received my order nor my money has been transferred back (despite assurances of a return transfer and repeated sending of all data!!!!). Today I sent a final email with all the details to customer service. If I do not get my money back within the specified time, I will do the same as other ""reviewers"" and file a complaint and, if necessary, take further steps. If it had been possible I would not have given a star at all!!!! Hands off!!!!

Order placed on 2809. The 2910 3 mail announcing that I will receive the order under 6 to 12 days. On 0110 I receive an email indicating that 3 products are on order (so far so good). On 0310 I receive an e-mail indicating""We are waiting for a product which is currently being shipped by one of our suppliers"" with all the items ordered listed under""PRODUCTS IN STOCK"" and nothing under""PRODUCTS COMING SOON"". I hastily concluded that they had received everything. In the absence of an order, I call 0810 again. On 01010 I receive an answer indicating that the items that make up your order have been received at our warehouse. Your order will therefore be dispatched as soon as possible... Seeing nothing coming, I call 1410 again. Shortly afterwards I receive an email indicating that a product is missing... Knowing that on the 10th they said they had everything. Consequently I open a Paypal dispute. As if by a miracle, I received the following email on the following day Dear customer It appears that one of the products you ordered is unfortunately unavailable and we don't know when it will be available again: GUNZSB223 bottle 40 ml I'll have you prepare your order with the available products. As soon as the product is back in stock we will notify you by email. A coupon (V45127C13692P129186) has been generated for the amount of the unavailable product (3.99). You can use it to buy this product or for any new order. To use the coupon: - enter the customer area with your email and password on the customer area - prepare your order - enter the discount code (copy and paste to avoid typos) and validate Thank you for your understanding Service cl"" I'm sure I'll continue to be pigeonholed and I'll recommend them! Why not have a coffee at the local bar. Failing shipment on 1810 I escalate the dispute into a claim and then the order preparation process starts. After 1 month I finally have an almost complete delivery... In conclusion, thank you Paypal, but avoid 1001 maquettes because they have no respect for your privacy.

After ordering products advertised as available, I received an e-mail informing me that out of 5 products, only one was in stock and that I had to wait for a supplier to deliver the others! No information at the outset on the failure to meet the deadlines announced on the site. Announcing that a product is available when it isn't is bordering on misleading advertising... My credit card was debited immediately! If I'd known, I'd have ordered from another site... which I'd probably do now. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

Hello I am still waiting for a package that I ordered on October 3 from 1001 maquetas.es. It is a Nissan GTR that was for a gift. Of course I have looked terrible since the birthday has already been celebrated two weeks ago and as of today October 22nd I still have not received it...they have not even given me the order number. They replied to some emails saying that my package had been sent but I still have no news about it. They don't reply to my requests anymore.....

I am not happy 10 days for a package usually it takes max 4 to 5 days. The deliveryman put the parcel in the letterbox, normally I get home delivery. I didn't sign anything, if I were dishonest I'd say I didn't get a parcel. What's more, the delivery people know that I'm still at home. What a great service! Danie

It is a scam. I bought a plane to assemble in the ad it said: Plane to assemble and color with decals included and but paint and glue not included. They sent me with 5 days delay only the decals. I contacted them and after asking me for pictures of the package they were never heard from again. I researched my purchase and found out that the plane I had purchased was worth 230 euros and that they intentionally deleted the messages I had sent them to verify (prior to purchase) whether it was a decals or a plane to be built (their response was that it was a plane to be assembled and built). I after this experience have reported them to the POSTAL POLICE and will not efetuer more purchases with these people.

Product in stock on the website but finally not, so I asked a supplier to wait a month to find out that the product wasn't available... so I placed a new order with a credit note (so new shipping costs??). As satisfied as I was with my first order, this time I have a slightly negative feeling. In my opinion, stock management and website maintenance need to be improved. It's always frustrating for a customer to see their payment processed immediately and their order arrive two months later.

Order shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. Only drawback concerning the Badger1000 compressor: coming directly from the USA, the electrical plug is also American ... purchase of a compulsory adaptor is nowhere mentioned when purchasing the product. This comment is intended to be constructive in the interests of the seller and the customer. Otherwise, the site is excellent and the shipping of orders has always gone smoothly as far as I'm concerned.

No stock level on your items on your site. Too bad all the other sites mark the stock level under each item. You sell and you take the amount without knowing if you have the article requested by the customer and if your partner doesn't have it either! what do you do? (credit note or refund) the customer is bound to be very disappointed. When we want to unsubscribe from your mailings on promotions or other it's all in Englishbravo!!!! Sincerely, I don't think I'd recommend your site to a friend. Acceptable experience but I wouldn't do it again.

Unfortunately, this rating is very poor. I ordered an AGM 109 kit in the last week of July 2014 and paid in advance. Then the wait began. Although I was able to track the shipment in the shipment tracking system, the last station where the parcel was stored simply did not deliver. I managed to contact DHL by telephone. In response, they told me when I would finally receive the parcel the next day. After seven weeks, I now held it in my hand. This extremely long delivery time was caused by the fact that my surname was misspelled although this was not my first order. Although I had described this problem to 1001modellbau several times, they only ever referred me to DHL, which transported the shipment. Even the cancellation of my order was ignored by 1001modellbau. I am no longer sure whether I will order anything from 1001modellbau again. Andreas

I ordered two kits 2 months ago which were available according to the store and were marked green. I had paid with Paypal and then received an e-mail that the kits were not available and had to be ordered. I was put off for weeks with emails and have now canceled the order and would like my money back. A credit note should be issued but I have still not received the amount back. The store has not contacted me. I am now going to the police and reporting them for fraud.

Hello first of all I would like to tell you my case in case it helps someone to decide whether to buy or not on this website. I have made my first order of models to introduce myself in this interesting world. I placed an order on August 11 for a value of 23845 Euros (a sailboat and some other little things) well the case is that everything was fine until August 13 that they sent me the order as indicated in an email informing me that it would take 5 to 7 days. When I saw 2 weeks later that it did not arrive it seemed strange to me but I decided to be patient and send them a couple of emails that of course they have not answered. My surprise was great when last week I went to see if there was any news on my order and when I went to enter your page they had deleted my user (with order and all) in fact I tried to register again and allowed me but my order did not appear anywhere. Of course they have not replied to the email I sent them. Today is September 12th and I still haven't received it yet, I don't think I will. I don't understand how this company still works, although I guess they won't do the same to everyone. In any case if I were you I would not buy from this site in case the same thing happens to you as to me. The only thing left for me to do is to wait a little longer and denounce before the authorities and the

It took a little while. I get my packages sent from the USA faster! The excuse that suppliers have trouble supplying is pathetic. When you sell online you need stock! Otherwise I received what I had ordered and in good condition (which is not always the case with some poorly designed sites). What's more, the prices are right, so overall it's a good deal.
