Delivery too long to wait

What A RIP OFF I paid £26.00 for what I thought was a Supermarine Spitfire T9 two seat trainer with decals model kit, but turns out I paid £26.00 for badly detailed and moulded bits of plastic. I now have to purchase a Supermarine Spitfire MK 9 model kit to obtain the model I thought I was purchasing. They need to make it very clear on the website that you will be paying of OVERPRICED bits of plastic.

Of the two orders I have placed on this site have been delayed at least one week longer than I had chosen with the shipping costs.

3 weeks of delay in delivery and when I wanted to return the order (after 2 emails) I was told that it was no longer possible.

Good the 10th of this month I made 2 orders also quite high price to reach the canary islands total that I do not care because it was for a birthday gift which has already passed dates you andais dissatisfied with the disappointments that you produce in your customers but we and I especially in my case besides taking quite the order that in the end it does not matter as long as it arrives in favorable conditions you are not able to answer me through the web messages that I sent that are not few and also important. important One was for the selection of colors that I wanted for the model which supposedly I can choose and I put which I wanted with their respective reference numbers total that you passed everything and you sent me the colors that you considered the next problem is the tracking of my order through DHL to say that the order is not found anywhere I asked you where I could look at it and again you ignore my question that I have to think that my order drifts to know in what conditions it will arrive and when it will arrive? I don't understand anything but if out of 20 people 19 consider the management of the company to be bad, then we are not the ones who are unfair but you are.

I placed an order at the beginning of July and the parcel never arrived. After checking with the site at the end of August, they offered to cancel my order. And this day the 09-09-16 they announce me that refunding cannot be made since the parcel would have arrived the 20-07-16........ I advise you not to place order on this site. today 24-12-16 In spite of a registered letter to the manager no answer.

Decal order Not happy with the service.....after seeing and paying one price for decals, my invoice for billing showed a higher price of about $4.50 higher than should have been....They said orders will be shipped in about 6-8 days after receving. which was on Aug 17,...its now been over 2 weeks and my order says its still being processed...I have written them twice asking about my order and as of yet no reply..I understand it comes out of France, but there should be some connection here...Customer service is a 617 area code...so NOT HAPPY WITH SERVICE AT ALL!!!!!!

Order placed 240716 we are 030916 and the order has still not been shipped. The page still announces a delay of 4 to 6 days on this product. No news by email since August 7th. No answers to my questions. This site is not

Received a different item then I ordered. I ordered an item based on the picture and then received a different item. They won't respond to my email about the incorrect item.

I placed an order last 0608 and still have not received it. Apparently there was a stock problem which was not indicated on the web at the time of purchase and the last news I have are from last week. I have tried to get in touch by all the phone numbers listed and it is impossible and via email I have not received any response. Very little series

Not a UK Company-'1001 Modelkits' I was furious that they gave the impression you were ordering from the UK when I fact they are located in France. After almost a week, I got an email to say ""your order is being processed"" say what?! How hard is it to go pick 2 cans of spray varnish and pack them? After another week my item arrived. Why would I wait 2 weeks for an order from France, when I can buy exactly the same product WITHIN the UK. Misleading.

Where is my order I ordered a couple of masking sets on August 11, 2016 I received a note on August 12, 2016 that my order was processed and that my payment was received. I have yet to receive any correspondence with a ship date or DHL tracking number. I have since sent 2 more request and no answer. This is not the way to run a business. The sets I ordered were in Stock.

I have been charged for shipping even though I exceeded the amount that according to their website they promise not to charge you in addition to the delay in receiving the package. One and no

Very long delivery time no response to emails (only after a few days)

Nothing received after three weeks. Not very serious. I do not recommend it at all

More than a week late.

The product was returned because it did not meet my expectations. Two weeks later my multiple emails remain unanswered and no refund! ! ! ! For my first order I am very disappointed and angry. I strongly advise you all not to order anything from this site....... ?????

Now the 8/08/16. It's a long few days and still no reply to direct emails and no refund. I would advise you to be wary of this company and shop around. I ordered 2 kits on behalf of my son only to find out the next day that I had ordered the wrong kits. I immediately emailed details cancelling my order and asked for a reply confirming this. Ten days later and after quite a few emails done through the website contact us page as instructed I hve heard nothing, The onle email I have had was one stating......Your order is currently being processed. We are waiting for a product currently being brought by one of our providers. You will be notified as soon as your order is sent. Not the best customer service team. I suspect they want my £83.

I am still waiting to receive my order no. 83371. When can I expect to receive the order? ??

so first experience with 1001modellini and it starts immediately bad let's get to the point I place an order of about 100 euro after a few days of waiting 2 models are not available so they make me a voucherx the next order and so far everything in the rules when the package arrives however a model is missing (present in the bubble) in its place rcr car accessories that I did not order and I do not do anything about it. I send email to point out the error no response after 4-5 days I send another one no response. I honestly do not understand how they work so badly and what makes me angry is that I paid more than 100 euros in advance and I am missing material x at least 40!!! this is not a disservice but an almost scam.

I have not received the package and no one from customer service has responded to me.

A batch of enamel paints was not delivered on time and was therefore no longer usable and was returned to the French address listed on the website. However, no refund was made as a result. Emails were not answered. The ""hotline"" with Berlin number given on the German website consists of a French answering machine. The dealer based in France played dead. There would have been two ways to take legal action, but both would have been complicated and uneconomical. The dealer seemed to be counting on this. Research then revealed the possibility of referring the case to the ""Center for European Consumer Protection"". The time-consuming formalities involved were successful: four months after returning the goods, I received an email from the retailer: 7 juin 12:03 CEST Hello Thank you we will issue the refund as soon as possible. Best regards Guillaume Mortier (1001maquettes) The money has indeed been credited.

A Complaint Not a good transaction ......after two weeks the order had not even exited the 1001 facility, much less being close the being delivered. Four days ago I received a an email telling me it has been shipped and that it would be delivered shortly. (????) I would be receiving another email with a tracking #......nothing yet. This process has been far too long, especially at a the $19.95 shipping cost. Cannot give any +++ whatsoever concerning this transaction.

Merchandice was ordered and charged to my MC account 22 days ago and there has been no follow up It is stuck in Paris France with no movement I will never order from this company again. I've dealt with many online companies, but never have had to wait this long for my order. I'm not even sure I'll ever get this order and plan to send a letter to Capital One stating that I never received the merchandise ordered and want my money credited to my MC account. I'm afraid I have been ripped off for the first time ordering online.

Where are my decals? It's hard to rate something that hasn't arrived yet. I wish I could find a tracking number.

Horrible Horrible service Purchased a photo etch for F6f2 Hellcat on June 29. No where on the 1001 Model Kit web site was there a clear statement that products would be shipped from France!!. On July 6 received an e mail that product had been shipped and I would receive a postal tracking number as soon as available. Never received the tracking number. I telephoned customer service and got a recorded message in French! Sent another e-mail and got response ""will answer as soon as possible."" It is now July 14, and product not received. I live on the US east coast in New jersey so product should have arrived after eight (8) days intransit, unless mailed by boat. Sent another e-mail with the same standard response ""will answer as soon as possible."" I am in the process of notifying Visa that I will not pay the charges to my account because of non delivery. I never had such a terrible experience with model hobby vendors. You are unable to speak with anyone, and recorded telephone messages are in French. I STRONGLY URGE ANYONE CONSIDERING PURCHASING FROM THIS VENDOR TO REMEMBER THAT THE WAREHOUSE SHIPPING POINT IS IN FRANCE AND THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO COMMUNICATIONS FROM THIS VENDOR AS TO THE STATUS OF AN ORDER other than it was shipped. Personally I do not believe this vendor had the product in stock, and never actually shipped this product. If you live in Canada or the USA beware doing business with this vendor. I am resigned to the fact that my money will not be refunded and is lost. WRP Finally on July 18 received merchandise. It had been mailed from France on July 12 and not July 6 as claimed in the vendor's e-mail. The product was ordered on June 29. Had the vendor been honest as to the date of shipment, and answered my e-mail queries, all this time wasting mess could have been avoided. This organization is a mess, never again will I place an order. They are unable to communicate effectively with the customer.
