I had booked express delivery to receive the parcel within the week. I didn't hear from him for the whole week, and it was only the following week that I received an e-mail telling me that my parcel was on its way. So I received it well after the 4 to 6 days I'd expected when ordering. I sent an e-mail before receiving it to find out why it was late and why I had received duplicate e-mails with errors in the automatic e-mails (one sentence did not appear correctly). I was waiting for an explanation. I received a few lines of reply with no apology, no explanation and, above all, no answers to my questions. So I sent another e-mail and I'm still waiting for an answer. This company doesn't manage after-sales service and customer relations at all. I'm very disappointed. I'd read some good comments, especially about deliveries, but apparently not everyone is on the same page.

1001 maquettes makes a mistake in my order and I report it. They ask me to send back the defective item at my expense and offer me free shipping on my next order?! Too nice guys! You're bordering on complete amateurism! I'm done with them

If I hadn't been threatened with a ""hand courante"" for not respecting the purchase contract for a model and a sheet of ordinary decals, I'm sure that three yes three months after the order I'd still be waiting for my pack of 1001 Maquettes. So you'll understand that from now on I'm not taking this site very seriously, unlike other English, German, Polish or Czech sites, which are much more efficient.

Hello Sir and Madam, I'm writing to inform you that my order has arrived a second time in poor condition. The order concerned flat paint for copper and white decals. When I placed my first order for copper decal paint, it arrived crumpled, so I sent you a message to let you know so that my next order wouldn't arrive in the same condition. Unfortunately, it arrived crumpled again.

I strongly advise against this site. After placing an order, everything went wrong: misleading communications, product delivered 7 days late in a damaged parcel. No response to my emails and phone calls. Basically my worst e-commerce experience in 10 years. I don't recommend si

Order received 1 MONTH after payment. Computer problem when placing the order but parcel sent anyway as an economy parcel. 1001 maquettes could have made up for this by sending a parcel.

Poor, Slow Service, Incomplete Order Many item not in-stock despite web order saying they were in stock ready to ship. For items not in stock, I was issued a ""credit memo"" to be used on next order without my permission. I can't imagine ever ordering again so I am now fighting for a refund. This was the poorest experience I have had ordering on the internet in 15 years.

They pretend to be a company based in Germany. Hotline only in French. Extremely long delivery times or goods do not arrive at all. Request for a refund of the purchase price is ignored.

I have been disapointed so far because I received the wrong order and have had no response from customer service to date... The processing of my order seemed to be OK. I received timely updates regarding when the products would be received for shipping. I also received a notice when the order was being shipped. I received a shipment in 2 to 3 days as was stated. However, I received the incorrect shipment. My order #14439 was not what I received. I received order #14539 which is not mine. I have sent 2 e-mails to customer service ([email protected]) and have had no response yet. The Website states that Customer Service is important to them. I have seen no evidence to date. A customer service telephone number for English speaking customers would be helpful. I am awaiting a response regarding what to do with the incorrect shipment I received and what is the status of my order for which payment was accepted.

I placed an order for two items after a reminder 10 days later and still had not received the parcel. After the 3rd message, I was told that one item was not available in the color I had ordered. Having accepted, I received my parcel but I only had one article out of two. I was told that they didn't know when it would be available. I was therefore charged on the date of my order and to this day there is still no sign of life from customer service. I strongly advise against ordering

Product Sent to the Wrong Address! I ordered 4 airplanes from Canada to be sent to my son in a different province. The order was placed on Jan. 13,2013 and it arrived on Jan. 29,2013-over 2 weeks for delivery is unacceptable. More importantly, the planes arrived at my home and now I have to pay shipping to send them to him. Very disappointing!

Dear customer, The shipping address you provided was in Port Sidney, and the invoicing address in Vancouver. Maybe you made an error while ordering ? I am sorry for the hassle anyway. Sincerely, Nick 1001modelkits.com

Hello, I've ordered a Corsaire model from trumpeter at 132. You had it in stock. This one was ordered I believe on December 22 and after two letters of complaint on my part I only received it on January 10. I'm not complaining about the quality of your products, but your shipping service leaves a lot to be desired.

No order confirmation, delivery was a long time coming, an inquiry on my part was not answered and last but not least a high customs fee because the items were not declared correctly. This was definitely my last order from this store.

Slightly long order processing times. The fact that there is no stock and that orders are sent directly to the various suppliers has a lot to do with this. Otherwise, there's nothing to say, the products received are as ordered.

very slow shipping, slow customer service response time i thought the selection and pricing was pretty comparable, if not slightly lower than a few other places for the parts i was looking at. they also had the specific combination of parts, which i would have had to order from multiple places to get. but there was almost a full 3 weeks between ordering and delivery. while i was notified that the item was being prepared to ship, then another when it was just about to ship, then another when it did ship, i did not receive a single email answering my questions regarding the order. i might consider ordering again just for a second chance, but if shipping is the same speed, i'll go elsewhere for what i need...

All is well, that ends well, i suppose... Initial order confusion, and difficult communication. Took time and Email discussions to get order back on track. Order delayed and was split into 2 parts. With delays, order was finely completed.

Very satisfied with the products ordered. On the other hand very disappointed with your site for the management of addresses (billing and delivery) Nothing is respected even after calling your sales department. A piece of advice: improve your site for delivery and everything will be fine.
