Dear customer, Unfortunately the shipment by letter that you chose can take several days to arrive to the US as we ship from France. You should receive your order in a few days. Do not hesitate to send us an email ([email protected]) if you have not received it by the end of next week. Best regards, The 1001modelkits team

I am very unhappy with delivery time. I ordered a sheet of decals for an older 1:48 scale B-17 kit on 2/10/16. The kit was 90% complete but the kit decals were too old. On 2/18/16 I sent a message requesting status and saying that if the decal sheet was not in stock I would select a different one. On 2/19/16 I received an email saying it shipped and they would notify me of a tracking number. It is now 3/2/16 and I have not received a tracking number or the decals. This is not acceptable and I will know better in the future not to order from 1001 models.

This is the first time I've placed an order with you and after 14 days it hasn't arrived. I can't phone you and the person at the chat desk told me to wait.

Non-existant customer service. I placed an order for an item in error and tried to contact 1001 Modelkits. I phoned them four times and never got an answer. I sent two emails via the site's online message app requesting a change to the order. No reply. Now I get a message nine days later saying they shipped the order before reading my change request. I will NOT order from this company again. I need to know I can contact someone if I have a problem or question, and 1001 Modelkits does not fill that bill.

I paid for an express service and after 48 hours the order is still not shipped. I have even contacted them and they do not respond. I have opened a dispute with Paypal to see if they now respond. I add after their response: I am not going to modify anything so that everything is reflected. Once I opened the dispute they have put the order as shipped. I paid a higher price for it to be urgent by DHL and with tracking number which they did not provide me and also sent by Correos. I sent them two emails on their website to which they have not responded. Now tell me how you intend to defend your""Efficient customer service"" that you put on your website. Be thankful that I am not going to claim a measly £3 extra that I paid for a courier service that I did not receive and that I have upgraded my rating to 2 stars instead of 1 as it was before. Greetings and until

Description of product on website is completely misleading I ordered the 1:72 EDUARD 7503 Figure RFC crew 1917. In their product description: I copied and pasted this from their site: Type of product : Model figures The figurines are sold in boxes with several figures: - in the 1:72 scale, the boxes usually contain 40-50 figurine soldiers, or 15 cavalry figurines. In reality, there were only 6 figurines. At $13.99 plus shipping, this is way too expensive and not as described. It was a rip off!

Dear customer, As indicated, ""the boxes USUALLY contain 40-50 figurine soldiers"", however please note the number of figurines also depend on the product's price as smaller boxes like the one you purchased will contain fewer figurines. We apologize for the inconvenience and sent you a discount voucher as a compensation. Best regards, The 1001modelkits team

I asked for replacement of a color ordered double was not done. A 5 euro discount coupon I was given was not applied. I got a tube of putty all crushed (maybe it's already been used??). The courier gave me a chance to change delivery address but then delivered to the original address. Better Amazon...

We ordered a tank model which was delivered to us via a point relay. Unfortunately, when we unpacked it, we realized that the model was broken in several places. 1- They can't be reached on their famous telephone hotline 2- As suggested, I sent them an email to ask for assistance, and they replied that I could put the pieces back together and that they'd give us a €5 credit note as a gesture of goodwill. I'm not going to

I give it two stars because I have not yet received the merchandise and I have been waiting for twelve days, even though they state in the order that it was shipped quickly.

I received an item labelled with the reference ordered, but the contents were nothing like it. After 48 hours, the after-sales service asked me again for a photo and references already supplied in a 1st e-mail, claiming to request a return label for the product. It took them over a week to realize that (following a request from me) their request had not been taken into account... The initial order dating from 211215 is still incomplete to this day. I can only imagine the worst for the future as these difficulties only concern the return of the wrong item and I'm not about to receive the right one! So much the better for those whose orders are error-free, but given the quality and efficiency of this box, I strongly advise against it (especially as their prices are high and I've found the same items elsewhere).

Order (E4KZT6RXN) placed over a month ago and still not sent (no reply to my emails). What's more, the merchant is asking you to place a new order for missing items (even though they are indicated as available on his site), with the items already paid for being returned to you, but with new shipping costs to be paid by you, knowing that the shipping costs are double the amount of the items ordered and that, for me, 4 items are missing (in addition to the order that was not sent), I'm looking at 15 euros in shipping costs for items that have already been paid for. If they're dealing with customers who place large orders like the one I placed (over 160 euros), their store won't last long. For my part, this is the last time I'll be ordering from this site.

Missing and broken parts. When I received my model, it had 1 broken part and 2 missing parts.. I contacted the company. They said they would send the parts. Still no parts after several months. I contacted again. They said send photos of the parts from the assembly sheet with parts circled. Still no parts after more months. I contacted again, now they won't answer me. It has now been over a year.
