An excellent website but an in-stock order I placed almost a month ago still hasn't arrived and I don't even know if it has.

Order no. 173395 placed and paid for on August 23. Today, August 29, still nothing. With a tracking number blocked on August 24, we don't know why. We should go and do a training course in companies like Cdiscount or Amazon which deliver in 48 hours. Unacceptable. Where did my order come from? From China by sea? Z

Very disappointed with the information requested. I needed help with colors and was told to get kits which I have done before. Basically, I was told to figure out what I needed. When you're just starting out and need advice, that's not cool. August 29, 2019: Following your response below you want me to answer what since you do not give me more information. What I wanted was for you to give us the colors corresponding to the model, just like when we buy a kit. But you didn't give me any corresponding colors and when I go on your site and on the product I ordered you have the corresponding tools and colors but now there are no more colors to indicate. I just wanted the colors for my layouts because with the colors I have I can't make certain layouts because they're missing a certain blue red ext ... So in the end, what's the point of sending you e-mails if you can't do it?

Your reply on Trust pilot today (since you do not reply to emails sent directly to you) corresponds to the order N 172249 of 08.08 and not N 172583 of 13.08 I have a copy of my emails (impossible to post them here) which indicate that I requested in due time the change of relay point while the package was being prepared by you (and this for 34 days ...) so you had plenty of time to make the change.

Hello I sent you 2 emails below when I was preparing the parcel so that the place of dispatch could be changed: no reply. What's more, it took Mondial Relay 3 or 4 days to take the parcel into account (whose fault is that??). And so the order has to be cancelled How many days have been lost since the order was placed on the 1st?

No order updates and slow dispatch Ordered on the 13/08 and still only showed ""processing"" after 7 days so cancelled. Also they only process refunds on a Wednesday which seems bizarre.

Hye Sir, We had one product in stock and the other was available from our supplier, which explains the shipping time. Concerning refunds, our accounting department makes them every Wednesday. Best regards

I visit this site I look at an article and hop it is in my basket and impossible to remove it ! ! Forced sale or bug? In any case, I don't order on a site that forces the basket without being able to delete it. So at the end of my visit, I have 8 items in my basket that I didn't put in! So good luck with this

I received the wrong item. Due to the lack of a return slip, it was only possible to return the item after I had to prove that it was wrong. --- QUOTE: ""Please find enclosed a return label for the boat you received. To answer your questions this is the after sales service procedure. This allows us to avoid some scams. Yours sincerely, Customer Service"" QUOTE End --- Here the customer is seen as a potential fraudster! I then returned the wrong item. The parcel company has confirmed delivery! But 1001 Modellbau cannot find the return shipment! So no money back. Great! I wonder who is the fraudster here! If you want to save yourself a lot of trouble and frustration, it's better not to order here!!!!! And don't be fooled by the German presentation. This is a French company. That doesn't make a subsequent legal dispute any easier!

Unable to set the average (2.5), I opted for the low option... Despite a well-stocked catalog, my first two orders took too long to process for my liking: almost 15 days between order and receipt, with: products indicated as being in stock when in fact they weren't; very long reaction times for order tracking information; slightly expensive delivery to a relay point; a surprisingly long delivery time; no contact form on the site and no reply to messages sent by mail....; despite everything, the products were received and were exactly as ordered. By way of comparison, when I didn't see my second order arrive, I placed an order on a competitor's site: same products delivered to my home within two days of placing the order, and with the same costs.

Delivery problem: 20 days after order and payment! Item returned to 1001 maquette without having passed through my home. No commercial action to solve the problem as soon as possible: 1001 maquette kindly waits for the article to come back to them before sending it back to me via another delivery source. In the meantime, days go by and I still haven't received anything (even though it's been paid for, I remind you). It would have been enough to send me another item identical to the first one and solve the problem on their side with the first delivery company, but I guess 1001 maquette doesn't care about satisfying the best (and therefore also the fastest) s

My disastrous experience began on July 3, 2019 almost a month ago from this review. I placed a 70€ order with the free shipping offered for purchases over xx € on the website. After having exceeded the deadline that was given in the tracking of the order I contacted them and they told me that if after three weeks I had not received it I should contact them again. According to what they told me on the web they warned me that this could be the maximum shipping time (I didn't see any warning at the time but I don't rule out that this is the case). After three weeks I contacted them again and they said they would investigate the problem. That was the last I heard from them. I have been trying for 5 days to get an explanation from them but they do not answer my emails. I guess now I will have to file a complaint with the consumer office. I strongly advise against buying from this store. UPDATE 190819: after acknowledging to me last August 7 that the carrier pediel I ask them to refund the amount paid. They answer me that until the carrier does not return the package they can not return the money (I do not know how they are going to return it if it is lost). A month and a half after the order I still haven't seen the package or my money. UPDATE 070919: and it's been more than two months and I still haven't heard anything. I have already filed a complaint with the European consumer office.
