Sent wrong order. No response from customer service. I was sent an incorrect order and that incorrect order was also damaged. I contacted customer service two days ago and received no response. I am very disappointed with the transaction. I guess my next step will be to contact my credit card company and dispute the transaction.

I ordered decals on sale that should no longer be offered because of their poor quality and asked questions that went unanswered. Delivery time

I placed my order on 18.01.2015 and paid immediately but never received anything. customer service only got in touch on 4.02.2015 after I had already sent several emails. here is the wording of the email: Sorry for the late reply. I contacted our logistician about your order. I will reply to you as soon as possible with more information. With kind regards The customer service 1001modellbau.de Since then I have heard nothing more from them, although I had sent a few more e-mails, I asked them to send me my money back or the goods. I will never order here again.

Delivery very slow impossibility to reach an adviser vocally that a provider for delivery still work. .....

Disappointment I was very disappointed with my experience. First, I waited several weeks before I was told they could not fulfill my order, but I was not told what was not being filled. Then I only ended up receiving four of twelve items I ordered. Store credit given but a lot of time wasted waiting to do a project that I was trying to do. I will look elsewhere next time.

I live in the Canary Islands Spain and I had to pay 30e for shipping in a private company but they sent it by ordinary mail which has a cost of 890e. I have been ripped off

Diorama base received folded and crumpled, straight into the garbage can... Site to avoid

I will not be ordering from this store again. Ordered on 5.3.2015 in process since 6.3.2015 since then nothing more. You write to support and get no reply. I have never experienced anything so bad. I can only advise against this store.

Not overwhelmed by the experience! I ordered a 1/72 Italeri fast build M7 Priest/Kangaroo kit. I only considered the order because of not being able to find this kit elsewhere. I feel that the price even though it was 'on sale', was still a very premium price compared to similar kits. I accept the fact that a higher price may reflect its rairity. I expected to receive the kit in about a week to 2 weeks, it ended up being close to 4 weeks. Customer service was available, if not at time a bit spotty. I must say they did try to keep me in the loop. I did get a shipping tracking number which was very nice. Once I received the kit, the box was a bit banged up, had a few pieces loose in the box off the sprue, and had no assembly instructions nor the decals that the box front said should be included. At present, I don't know if I would order from 1001 ModelKits again.

large catalog but extremely slow processing and delivery time: 0602 payment accepted 1702 parcel shipped 1003 (today) of the goods not even the shadow (and it should come from Paris not the other side of the world) ditto for the tracking code they couldn't give me because the parcel was shipped to ECO PACK INTERNATIONAL (what is that?)... a comparison: modeling site from Japan 2402 payment accepted 2402 parcel shipped 0203 goods delivered (6 days) the only conclusion is that they are walking him 'this parcel

the prices are a little more expensive than elsewhere I thought the quality was up to scratch but ....not to mention paying 8.90 postage to receive my purchases in a vulgar envelope there's some sloppiness. Ordered on a Saturday evening, arrived on Thursday morning, a far cry from the 48-hour delivery time. I wouldn't recommend this site: too expensive for the same products as elsewhere, transport time too expensive and too slow.

I have received your various emails to the effect that my order had been taken into consideration and that the parcel had left, but to date nothing has happened. It was the Tyrrell I was intending to give as a birthday present on March 4, so I hope that the situation will be regularized.

I PLACED THE ORDER ON 01022015 AND AS OF TODAY 26022015 I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING.

Order placed on December 17 and to date nothing received!!! First I'm told the item is unavailable, then I'm told my order will be shipped, but I'm still waiting... I ask them for a refund but they're still nowhere to be found. On the other hand, when it comes to sending out promotional e-mails, they're pretty good at sending out almost one per month.

What a bad idea to have ordered a model as a Christmas present on this site in mid-December! Order in preparation for weeksproduct unavailable then available again package shipped with only a tube of glue...! all this to tell me on January 27 that my order was canceled and that I would be reimbursed to date February 23 the refund has still not been made despite several emails from me.

NOT IN ONE SENTENCE BUT IN ONE WORD: DISAPPOINTING

delivery times of the type""shipped in 2"" are not reliable since in my case this turned into 1 week.... The reason given by 1001Maquette was that their supplier had made a mistake (although I had only ordered in-stock items). 1001Maquette's shipping department doesn't seem to be reactive at all.

It's a shame to have to wait several months for delivery. It's also a shame not to be able to get your money back if you're not satisfied, as is the case with most e-businesses.

I am very disappointed with shipments, they take a very long time.

Following orders on this site there are systematically missing products in the shipment or products available to the order and in fact absent in coimmande.

site has misleading advertising the items on their page are not the items sent I ordered a helicopter samu blanc and I received twice a helicopter that had nothing to do with my order really disappointed with this site be careful when ordering

I am disappointed with my order given the price of the model.

2 weeks to be delivered when I paid 10e60 more for a 48h delivery. Certified as having arrived on time. No reimbursement of Colissimo charges. After-sales service hides behind their carrier not to refund a cent. Bad experience. I'm even going to give them a very bad publicity. Ina

order made on tuesday delivery method chosen in 1 to 2 days to be sure to receive the parcel before saturday. The parcel arrived the following Monday, 5 days later. Package damaged box and model broken! explanation of the letter carrier: error in the shipping address! the package had been sent back to 1001 maquette!!! which I had not been aware of!

Do not purchase from under any circumstances. I ordered the Tamiya 1:35-35065 German Panther Tank on 1/10/15. My card was charged and an email sent to me on 1/11/15 that I should allow 12 - 15 business days altogether. It is now 1/31/15 which means that 15 business days has expired. My purchase is still ""order being processed"". The email sent also said that they did not have any of the item in stock, despite the website saying that there was several (as it does now). Furthermore, the PRICE HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY while my order has been sitting in processing. The amount charged to me was 36.99USD and the current cost of the kit is now 24.99 and is on sale for 23.74. I have messaged the company about having my order cancelled, or the item shipped and the difference in cost refunded to me but have not received a reply. At this time I believe that I will not receive a refund nor my purchased goods and that 44.99 (model, tax and shipping costs) has been stolen from me. Do not purchase from.

Two orders both cancelled and had to email them to find out!!! I placed two orders both were cancelled, I was not notified of the cancellation or the reason for either. When i contacted 1001 modelkits I was told one was cancelled due to a pricing mistake clearly going against there own terms of use the other I was told was due to being out of stock of the item but as soon as my order was cancelled the items were listed in stock and a co-worker purchased the items at which point the item was listed as out of stock. I had a feeling they had a pricing error and had intention of ordering other items if things went smoothly with these orders. If they had at least contacted me to notify me of the issue or told me that the orders were being cancelled i wouldn't be as upset but the fact i had to email to try to figure out why my orders had been processing for weeks is rather absurd. Now i will never order from them again and will not recommend them to anyone.

Always ads for sales but the day I buy a model no sale

Despite payment and notification that the order was dispatched on the day of the order, no delivery has yet been made. Completely unacceptable! Never again!

The website showed the product to be in stock when in fact it was not. I had to wait 1 week for a terse response from customer service and 2 weeks for the parcel to be sent. Then the parcel was very badly packed, and some of the decorative parts came off the model I'd been waiting for. In this case, given the price of the object, one could be more careful. This site shows very poor professionalism. A é

Goods were confirmed as in stock, paid for - then email: not in stock after all. To top it all off: No refund of the payment but a voucher was offered. All I can say about this is: absolutely lousy business practices.

good models, lackluster service, long wait times. This was a less than pleasurable experience due to the lengthy delivery time – 27 days. My order was processed immediately and charged almost immediately on my credit card, this after the shipping rates were raised for some reason to a different price, which was higher than the quoted price when I pressed the button to complete my order. I was upset at that incident for days after the order. A week later, after filing an inquiry twice online, received a message that I would receive a voucher for the difference in price…I’ll never use it, but why not just make the adjustment on this order Poor customer service in my opinion. I received no info or updates until the item was shipped in this country, three weeks later, from the post office tracking. Parcel arrived with some damage to the side of the box, with damage to one of the model boxes inside…but thankfully the model was not harmed. I find it amazing that there was no packaging or filler inside to protect the items inside the box, as with other model companies with every shipment. I order something from the next state over and the box has newspaper, Styrofoam peanuts, plastic bubble rap…something! But something comes from France and no filler whatsoever…hmmm. I’m not impressed with the service, but the price was better than some places here, however, I will never use your services again.

Horrible experience This was a HORRIBLE experience. I ordered a book December 31, 2014. My order was processed immediately. I got the book today January 24, 2015. Almost a month later. Supposedly the book was coming from a depot in Europe and had some additional information required by Customs. That is BOGUS. If you don't have the book in stock for immediate delivery, say so. From now on, will use (external reference) in England. Never had problems with them. Will NEVER EVER use this vendor again. Asked for updates on status on the 16th and did not hear back for a week. This was a Horrible experience. Finished the model that I was buying the book as a reference for the day before the book arrived as I had pretty much given up on getting the book. Will never use this company again.
