No customer service - you're told you'll get a reply within a few days, but it never comes. I had to call several times to get a refund... in short, a very bad experience.

I bought some catalogs at the beginning of March. It is now April 26th and I still have not received anything despite the fact that in response to my complaint I was told that they would send them again.

I received a bubble envelope with all the products I ordered quickly, but the problem is that the Italeri brush was not sufficiently protected and therefore received broken. Too bad I don't think I'll be ordering from you again as the packaging is not up to standard.

I have been waiting for a month and they tell me that they can't find my order and that the mistake is mine. They do not give me the option to track my order and the carrier does not contact me. After this month they tell me that I have to pay again! I call the phone with prefix (+34) and they tell me that I am calling Paris. They are real thieves. DO NOT BUY FROM ES

Misleading product listing The item for sale listing stated it would be dispatched within 24hrs. It actually took them 5 days to dispatch. They then blamed me for choosing Eco post which wasn't cheap for the delay. As the item was bought as a gift and turned up too late to fulfil it's purpose I had to purchase elsewhere. When it did arrive I refused delivery and sent it back. I have heard nothing since, that is nothing I can understand as their communications are in French when they clearly know I am English.These people are arrogant, ignorant and misleading.

Out of stock, overpriced late postage. Ordered 17 packs of card dividers in various colours, left 4 packs out as stated out of stock on site. A while after ordering was notified they had to get stock in, even though it stated in-stock and i refreshed up until purchasing, and you cannot purchase if out of stock. Items came 2 1/2 weeks later in oversized box, with an invoice thats in French. Postage was way overpriced at over £7. Product was as described, which is the only plus.
Response from 1001hobbies
Dear Andrew Harris, Your package's preparation started on the 4th of March, less than 48h after you did your order. In order to minimise the shipment's costs, we wait till all of your products are available and send them at once. You had chosen the standard shipment method, since we send our products from France, it is normal for it to take some time. The delay that occurred with your package delivery is not in our reach, but depends on the shipment company in your country (so in your case, the UK). Best regards, 1001Modelkits' customer service

Discrepancy of information between site (material available immediately) and actual inventory situation (material available in days) resulting in incorrect communication about material delivery. Information ""revisable"" regarding tracking of shipment and consequent status of material. The survey request arrived that not even the material had left and exchange of several communications to get information and tidbit final material delivered and from the site communication that the package had left. To you the appropriate comments. Check Vs site where you say ""In stock shipments within 24 hours"" and review your response. Only after my info request emails you wrote to me that the shipment would start upon receipt of the material ""present"" but not ""present"".

Paypal fees are wrongly charged, which is no longer allowed since 2018 and is also punished by Paypal. After I reported this to customer service and that I want my money back, I received an email from the other party that they would take care of it. Since 10 days nothing has happened neither the fee has been refunded nor the goods received. I then wrote to customer service again and again no reply! I have reported the case to PayPal. I cannot recommend this store with the best will in the world and will advise everyone against it!

I have been waiting for my parcel for 10 days now and the delivery time was stated as 5-7 days. In addition, the shipment tracking does not work. Too bad. Hope it arrives soon. 25.3.2019 Colors have arrived one color had run out.

The description of a model was wrong. The TU114 model could not be built at all, only another version could be added. The clarification of the complaint was very difficult. The hotline could not speak German on 3 calls.

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!!!! UNACCEPTABLE TREATMENT! ZERO SERIOUSNESS!!! THEY NEVER GIVE ANY NAME AND TAKE A LONG TIME TO ANSWER OR NOT ANSWER!!!!! I placed an order on DEC 15th and the web gave error in the payment up to two times. I called by phone immediately to confirm the error and see how I could place the order but it went to voicemail and I left a message to which no one answered by phone or e-mail and a few days later without notice the model arrived at home. So I called again to return it since they had not confirmed the shipment at any time and I had to choose another option for the gift. After calls and e-mails in which they confirmed the return without charge, they charged me again the order on my credit card up to three times, reaching a total of almost 400€! Two months later I got the refund but they still refuse to refund the return charges when I was charged for the order.

Announcement of delivery within 24-48 hours (""if ordered before such and such a time"").... delivery after a month... (because an item was not available... So why not already send what's available????). The worst thing is that the unavailable item was not in the parcel we received, and we don't even have any tracking info for it.

Bjr I had not understood that they were models. What's more, the paint is not included because I wanted a miniature orange car and now I have a model to assemble and I have to buy paint! I'm disappointed... for the price. Cordia

Not recommended. Bought two puzzles, called 1 month later because they did not take my comment into account. Said that the problem had been solved and that they would send them back to me. Called back 15 days later because still nothing. I'm told there are more. I asked for a refund, but only on 1 product. Very

I paid an additional 8 euros to the price of the item so that I could receive it within 3 or 4 days. It took more than 10 days to arrive. I complained to 1001 maquetas and they did not refund me the additional money spent. Totally unacceptable. A

Fatal the package came incomplete and we returned it. It is sent to France and through a form that is only in English or French when on the page to buy everything is in Spanish suspicious. The package arrived and they did not accept it. It stayed a lot of days in the French post office. They did not answer the mails and when they did they gave me excuses. Thank goodness we paid with PayPal who reimbursed us the cost of the return (15€) and we opened a dispute and we were able to recover all the money but it was terrible. They didn't know what to do.
