Good evening I was expecting a fully assembled model or at least a rigid body structure, but my friend (it was a gift) received a piece of plastic (to be filled with plaster?) and some poor quality decals, not even all the external parts. I'd like my money back (satisfied or reimbursed) but I'm told it's impossible at the moment.

Strange to have a paint""Laque"" among the acrylics requested, even if it's quite in the same tones as the model. A little more difficulty for brush painting. For the rest, everything was perfect.

I placed an order on December 19 I placed an order on December 19, 2020. I paid a lot of money for express delivery and upon placing my order received a confirmation email indicating that my order would arrive on December 24, 2020. I am still waiting for my order on January 2, 2021. Order tracking does not work. I get an error message indicating that this service is unavailable. I do not think I will order from them again.

received a package of a henglong 116 king tiger rc tank and after charging the battery the tank switches off after a few seconds and the headlight doesn't work, so I'm very disappointed.

On the site, it's marked products in stock. They take the money from the account and then they tell me they're out of stock. I waited 1 month to receive my parcel. And they didn't want me to cancel my order and get my money back...

I must be the only one who has not received my order I placed an order on 15-11-2020 a month later they tell me that there has been a problem and that they ask for it again on 23-12-2020 they ask for it again and today 02-01-2021 it still has not arrived and all they say is that they are preparing it. They have been preparing it for 10 days and they do not tell me if it will arrive on January 5 which means that I will have to buy something else of course in another place to have a gift for the Epiphany.

Nothing good To begin with, we had to buy a new remote control for 60€ because the one that came with the boat didn't work, and since there's a covid, there's no soap. Then we noticed that the rudders weren't mounted in the right direction, but that's not all, the parts inside weren't properly installed.

Order placed on November 28 and parcel received on December 26! A few days after placing the order, I received an e-mail informing me that one of the products was not in stock, even though I had not been informed of this at the time of ordering. Approximately every 3 days I received the same message, even a duplicate. In mid-December I contacted the seller and again received an e-mail telling me that they were waiting for the product. I was waiting for these models which were intended as Christmas presents! To miss and on top of that to have to buy something else! We are asked to give preference to our French companies to keep the economy going. In the meantime amazone respects their shipping dates to the letter. Very disappointed I will not make any more com

Hello, my order was placed a few days before Christmas. It was not a problem that delivery would be delayed - especially because of the holidays. However, in the days that followed I kept getting emails asking me to complete the order even though I had transferred the amount. I received no reply to my e-mails. Only after contacting Paypal was there a brief response. When I placed the order with "1001Modellbau"" before Christmas, I was of the opinion that it was a German model making mail order company. If I had known that the company was based abroad, I would not have placed an order. Because of the current problem with Covid-19, I always have orders delivered to packing stations (which are operated by DHL) whenever possible. This is usually no problem with German retailers. Due to negative experiences, I know that delivery from other European countries to packing stations is often not possible - for whatever reason. This is also the case in this case: although a Packstation is specified on the delivery address, the goods were sent with dpd. It is possible that the shipment will be lost for a few euros, but with an order value of approx. 100 euros I will try to get the money back. My suggestions for improvement: 1. better organization of the ordering process 2. better communication with the customer 3. clearly formulate the delivery conditions or indicate the logistics partner clearly when ordering.

Wide selection. Reliable. Fast delivery. One star less: Improve site search. Not enough detailed options. The results are often too messy. For example, in the model railroading section (look on the big specialized sites and you'll understand what I mean).

I am generally satisfied with the service. The catalog is extensive although as they keep products that are not available sometimes this brings confusion and I think it is a negative aspect. Otherwise the information about orders is fluent, the treatment is very correct when you have to contact by phone and shipments arrive well. The reco

Overall disappointed. The order scheduled for delivery by December 21st finally arrived on December 29th...a shame for a Christmas present! The parcel ready to be dispatched from the logistics platform was blocked for 5 days without any explanation from the company I contacted by phone. What's more, 2 of the items advertised as being in stock on the site were found to be awaiting restocking at the time of confirmation...to encourage the customer to order (?) whereas other sales sites clearly indicated that the products were not available for 46 days. It's clumsy, even misleading. In my opinion, you can only give a bad brand image, and this encourages mistrust... disappointing for a site that claims to be of high quality and, what's more, French.

Products as ordered. The only drawback is the price of delivery, which is still too high, especially for the packaging, which is still very mediocre.

I followed the instructions as to which colors to buy for the model purchased as a gift. I ended up with 0 matches with the indications on the box. Extremely disappointed and unworthy service. I hope you can find a solution quickly. Thank you After contacting 1001hobbies an efficient solution was found and I hope that in the future the indications on the site will be more accurate.

On 3-11-2020 I placed order 061QQVVVGO. On 7-11-2020 I placed the order UXCLSJOPI. These two orders are grouped in another one with number 229785 with date 13112020. Later I place the order GHFSZABMT with date 16112020. After showing my concern for not receiving anything, they send me an email telling me that it seems that 229785 has been lost. I don't know anything about the other one. As of today 31122020 I have not received any of the orders.
