Order placed on 111117 one month later still no parcel delivered. I ask customer service about the status of my order because I haven't received anything. They tell me I'm missing half my items and that they'll send what they have in stock. In exchange he gives me a credit note for the amount of the 2 items I'm missing, plus free delivery. A week later I see the items I'm missing are available again on the site. I send an email to customer service and they tell me that the items I'm missing are not available. I find that the service is not at all of quality it is the first that it happens to me with such a level of incompetence. I am very disappointed with the customer service and the management.

Order not received I placed an order around December 3rd and as of December 27th I've not received my order. I looked into the way your company sent your orders and I'm not sure how you sent my order is from the USA or did it ship from over seas? Received my order today December 29th ! It was sent to the wrong address and it's on telling how long it took for them to send it back to the post office. The products look great look forward to doing business in the future.

Unfortunately, I can't rate the product as I gave it away. And it would be far too early to rate it. The delivery time was quite long at around three weeks. The money was transferred on 30.11.17 when I ordered it. The package arrived on 15.12.17. I don't know what happened between 30.11 and 11.12 when the package was announced but at least it was two weeks. Sorry.

Upset...disappointed. I am very upset. When I ordered, the website said delivery by Dec 23rd. I ordered a gift on December 9th! I still have not received it and it is now Dec 24th. It was a sentimental gift from the kids to their father. The website should have said Christmas delivery not guaranteed instead it said 'in stock, delivered by Dec 23rd.' I would have ordered it somewhere else. Poor customer service!

disappointed Hello, I ordered a 1/18 scale diecast (Signature) Studebaker Avanti. It took the better part of three week's to go from France to the United States (Wisconsin) When the carrier gave me the box I could hear a rattling noise inside, when I took the window box out I could see parts on the bottom of the box The complete front suspension was sheered off the car, both front wheels, there related spindles, and the tie rod. Now decision time, go thru all the B.S. to send it back, and then wait another month , or fix it my self. So I took the car apart and make a custom front suspension, it took me six hours. (This is what caused the destruction,) they must of packed the window box on a Friday night. They simply put the window box inside a bigger box with nothing to protect it. no bubble wrap, no foam peanuts. not even the local rag, no fragile tape on the outside (NOTHING) no wonder it was so severely damaged. I was looking forward to working with a company in France, but frankly I couldn't afford it.

After 15 days of waiting, I still haven't received my parcel. The distributor tells me that the Mondial Relais sites are unavailable one after the other. When will I receive my necklace?

Erg vervelende ervaring. Erg vervelende ervaring. Op de pagina van de producten stond ""Binnen 24 uur verzonden"". Het duurde uiteindelijk 2 weken voordat het eindelijk was verstuurd. Waar ik er zelf achteraan moest bellen en dan pas informatie kreeg. De eerste keer zeiden ze dat het nog diezelfde week werd verzonden. Dan was uiteindelijk niet zo. Pas na een tweede keer bellen werd het eindelijk verzonden. Het bleek een Franse klantenservice te zijn, zonder dat dit ergens vermeld staat. De persoon aan de telefoon was erg slecht te verstaan en ook zeer onvriendelijk. Hij onderbrak mij meerdere malen en zodra ik begon over ontevreden zijn probeerde hij het gesprek zo snel mogelijk af te kappen. Het product was ook nog eens beschadigd bij afleveren. Dit heb ik uiteindelijk zelf maar gerepareerd omdat ik geen zin heb om met deze mensen zaken te doen. Kortom. Hier niet bestellen!

Some people are just unlucky.... For me, an order that was supposed to arrive within the week (for a birthday) was blocked because an accessory was missing...! After 15 to 20 calls and emails over 4 weeks, each time the parcel was supposed to leave the next day... I finally received it yesterday 1512. But with one detail missing... all that's missing are the glue and the paints that were ordered, paid for and not delivered !!!!!! I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for it by giving the gift a month after the Christmas date. I'm not

I ordered an etching film on 14.10.2017 and have not received it to date on 16.12.2017 despite repeated e-mail contact. Supposedly sent then not available again. The announced refund has not been made to date either. For me, 1001 modellbau is a completely incompetent model making supplier with catastrophic customer service. - A.Stöbe Gotha

Purchased on 10/16/17 Super Mario Bros. Puzzle Ground Pound Available delivery 2-4days. Called 1 week around Delivery within a week sorry. Bad German French accent.2 weeks around called delivery within a week sorry. so it went on for 6 weeks. Parcel came from France via the Netherlands. I only received false tracking numbers and none for DHL. The same gentleman with the French accent was always difficult to understand, not least because of his loudness. alternative numbers or employees were not available. He was quiet and relatively friendly but not much help. Constantly saying ""delivery will definitely come within a week"" in the hope that it will be right at some point doesn't help. luckily we had bought other birthday presents elsewhere. Even the Chinese would have been quicker and for half the money. Juice store never again!!!!!
