Ordered on this site on 2nd October ... Ordered on this site on 2nd October where it specified 2 day delivery. A week later told it wasn't in stock and they didn't know when back in so offered a voucher or refund. I asked for a refund which I still haven't received then to be told it's been shipped ...... it still hasn't turned up , no refund , no replies to emails and no one answers the phone !!!! My partner still hasn't received his birthday present and quite frankly I'm appalled at the unprofessional conduct of this company!!!!

The delivery only took place a week after the agreed date. This was already annoying as the delivery time was the decisive argument when choosing the online store. In addition, no information was provided about the delay and tracking via the 1001 Modellbau website did not work either. When I asked about the delay and the problems with tracking the order, all I got back was a standard text saying "I always try to satisfy customers as quickly as possible". However, the goods finally arrived (far too late) and are in order. After all. Response to the seller's reaction: The order was placed on 24.09. and was paid for directly via PayPal (I have the order confirmation). The delivery on 07.10. therefore took place 13 days after the order. Much later than stated.

The parcel arrived in good condition. The model box inside was already open, the bags containing the parts were open and some parts were already in the box.

No follow-up from the seller to the preparer, and in the end the order is not complete and no credit note is issued. I'm losing money

The delivery time was extremely long. (14 days) The item leaves a lot to be desired. The best thing are the stickers. In my opinion, the model is not worth the money. I would definitely not buy it again.

It's been 3 months since I gave my opinion to explain that it's been a year since I placed my order and I still haven't received anything. They replied that they would refund me as soon as possible and still nothing after sending 2 emails with no reply. As I had already said, don't buy from them anymore, too expensive and no respect for the customer. So when can I expect my refund (10751 euros) in 1 year's time?

Order placed on 0109. Should be delivered between 21 and 2509. Finally sent 0210. 11 models ordered (and announced as in stock) 3 were gradually declared unavailable. So I've been collecting discount coupons. No seriousness, no improvement for 1 year (3 orders).

1001 Maquettes I felt that there was not enough communication on the status of my order. I had to ask more than once only to be told it will be shipped shortly which told me nothing. It left me with no confidence that the order would ever be shipped. On value for money I felt that I have been ripped off on price as your selling price was£55 whereas Welsh Models who supplied the kit sell it for £39.27 which is 40% more which is why I am saying I was ripped off by 1001 Maquettes. I would not use this company again. In future I will buy direct from Welsh Models.

I have been waiting 6 months for the wings of my Fieseler Storch 285 Meter. There has been no reply to the e-mails sent to date. A lawsuit is being handled by my company lawyer in Germany. It looks like a lawsuit in Germany is without much success. You have to sue in France where the sender of the parcel is at home. In Germany, there is only the Internet site. Nobody answered the phone after several attempts. The orders are redirected to France. The e-mails too. The e-mail address is on the page with (.fr. Is France !!!!) I would only pay with Paypal.

The fuselage of the A330-200 I ordered has the dimensions of an A330-300! so it has the decor of a -200 with the size of a -300.

The frustration with my Fieseler Storch 285Meter continues. Since I only received the fuselage and no wings. Now they want to send me a package that weighs 32kg. But the whole plane only weighs exactly 81 kg !!! Why the wing weighs 32 kg is inexplicable to me. They put stones in the package. Now they are asking me to pay an additional 100€ to send a 7kg package. I ordered on August 1st and paid correctly. Only the fuselage box was delivered. The wings are still missing today. I have written over 10 e-mails. The plane has cost me 710€ to date. Now another 100€ plus delivery in Switzerland. The excuse of an error in the logistics center is a joke. I will probably have to order the wings from the manufacturer in Vietnam. The color of the wing (yellow) is not available in Switzerland. As of today, 23.10.2017, I still don't have the missing parts in my house. The reply says in a few days ...even after 3 months I still haven't received a wing, tail unit and rudder. Reply to e-mail only excuses because of customs problem Sent from my iPhone

Der Frust mit meinem Fieseler Storch 285Meter geht weiter. Da ich ja nur den Rumpf erhalten habve und keine Flügel. Jetzt wollen die mir ein Packet senden Das 32kg wiegt. Der ganze Flieger wiegt aber nur genau 81Kg!! wiso der Flügel 32 kg wiegt ist mir unerklärlich. Da haben die Steine ins Packet gelegt. Nun verlangen sie von mir um ein ca. 7kg Packet zu senden 100€ zusätzlich. Ich habe am 1. August bestellt und korrekt bezahlt. Geliefert wurde nur die fuselage Box. Die Flügel fehlen bis heute. Über 10 E-Mail geschrieben. Der Flieger hat mich bis heute 710€ gekostet. Nun kommen noch 100€ dazu plus Zustellung in der Schweiz. Die Ausrede vom Fehler im Logistik Zentrum ist ein Witz. Die Flügel muss ich wahrscheinlich beim Hersteller in Vietnam bestellen. Die Farbe vom Flügel (gelb) gibt es in der Schweiz nicht. Leider ist immer noch kein Flügel und Leitwerk und Seitensteuer bei mir trotz versprechen eingetroffen. Ich warte schon 4

Well, I am still waiting for them to send me a product that I ordered 5 days ago and that they advertise on their website as 24 hour delivery. If you need it for something urgent I do not recommend the product I do not know what is its quality since I have not received it yet not even the tracking number of the parcel.

I have been waiting 14 days for my order ref. 111147 and they said the delivery time was between 4 and 6 days. Nobody informs me of anything and I have sent 6 mails constantly complaining. They have a horrible customer service. I have called several times to the phone number provided on the website and no one answers. It is the first and last time I buy here. If tomorrow I have not received the product or any information about it, I am going to denounce them.
