I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REFUND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REFUND FOR A MODEL CAR THAT I SENT BACK (13/8/17) I DID RECEIVE AN E MAIL THAT WAS IN FRENCH WHICH I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND, AND THE PHONE CALLS THAT I HAVE MADE DID NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT AND CANNOT E MAIL AS THE ADDRESS DOES NOT GET RECOGNISED. THE SERVICE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED DOES NOT MATCH WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID.

Be very careful in dealing with this company. Not all of their customers love them! Ordered Nimbus 4000. Goods arrived with outer packaging undamaged but contents including polystyrene absolutely wrecked internally. Some parts were also missing. Emailed the company and tried communicating with them on their website twice and now, 7 days later, still no reply or contact from them. I am willing to find a way forward but they seem to be ignoring the situation. Perhaps a trip to their premises might persuade them to address this properly!

I bought a model airplane Fiseler Storch size 2850mm. But I only received the fuselage. (airframe), the wings, the tail unit and the rudder were not included. A complaint was only answered in English. A return shipment to France easily cost me 150€ Very large package. The package was also incorrectly declared. Had to pay a delivery charge of 60sfr in addition to the ch VAT of 40sfr. My complaint was answered in English. But I ordered in Germany. The whole thing is now costing me 800€ for half a plane, I'll leave the letter as it is and wait for the rest of the delivery. If they iron out the mistake, I'll give them 5 stars. !!!!!

I'm going to try to be as""honest"" as possible, to start with it's unacceptable to write"" our customers adore us"" when there are so many negative reviews. As far as I'm concerned, I placed an order for more than 100€ validated on July 20 for the site and since July 24 it""has been in process"". Like many people, I naively tried to contact customer service by e-mail to get more details. And you know what .... no answer theoretically this-said service will wake up at the sight of my notice by saying substa""we did not receive your mail"".... This is all the more unacceptable given that the numerous customer service responses to other negative reviews boil down to "our suppliers are behind schedule". When we know that many other internet platforms offer the same services with globally identical prices and that from experience, in the event of a problem, they inform their customers and make a commercial gesture. I can only conclude by saying that, as you will have understood, I don't intend to repeat the experience, and to let my many model-building friends know that this site is unprofessional.

Poor site management. Item displayed as available and in fact not available order placed on hold for missing item therefore delivery too late this is not the purpose of ordering on the net.

Reply to 1001 maquettes: yes, I did receive your parcel today, but it was too late! And yes the Post Office is right the box was much too big to fit in my Mailbox. What's the point of taking a Colissimo without a signature if I have to take a day off work to receive your package!!!! AND NO, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND YOUR WEBSITE given the lack of interest you show in your customers. Very disappointed parcel still not received after 5 days despite almost 10 € postage colissimo without signature. At 1001 maquettes they tell me it's the Post Office's fault. At the post office, the package doesn't fit in your box.

Package sent on time as advertised on the website. However the packaging was too light, I had ordered 30 small pots of paint which were placed loose in a simple bubble envelope. I had also ordered a decal sheet which was placed unprotected in the middle of the pots, so it arrived crumpled. The free poster is crumpled too, and good to go.

1 year ago to the day on 080716I ordered a model (lotus type 72c 1970 from ebbro:ref EMSF001)paid 10751euros cashed the next day but still not received the order! After several emails, the last one with a reply dated 160916 from a certain Guillaume Mortier, no more replies, they take people for fools, while on my account on their site the order is still being processed! I've stopped the emailsbut they've still been cashing the money for a year. Don't order from them as long as it's ok, it's ok and they're more expensive!

Benpas glop! According to Colissimo you didn't pass on my full address - they only had 270 bd de Ste Marguerite 13009... it's the business address of the CHU Ste Marguerite but it was missing the precise place where I work... whereas on the 1st delivery everything went fine.... ??? Pavilon Solaris result => parcel supposedly delivered but I don't know where I called Colissimo ... they're going to try to contact the delivery man to find out where he dropped the parcel off at 6.30pm... what I do know is that the secretary's office was closed! I left at 9.15pm... without my parcel and on vacation for 4 weeks...not glop! Aff

I've been waiting for a refund for an order for over 20 days, no communication from 1001 maquettes, no reply to my email, seriousness is not 1001 maquette's strong point.

I was disappointed when I received my parcel because it was open due to the fact that the scotch tape had been put on incorrectly. Fortunately, it contained everything I needed.
