I ordered a miniature motorcycle for my son who has just bought his 1st motorcycle. My order was for a Honda Hornet, and when he opened it, he thanked me but asked me why I'd bought him one. In fact, the parcel contained a Ducati from the year 40! My surprise was ruined. It was my 1st order, so I'm not sure I'll be coming back to this site. Now I have to send it back at my own expense and wait to receive a credit note, hoping that my shipping costs will be reimbursed, which wasn't easy for the person I e

Do you really want my opinion? ...........................Here it is, and this is the strict truth !!!! I will simply detail............( the history of my orders..........number of 2.............uniquely.........I was going to say fortunately......) I won't look for the dates, let's get to the point. So I place an order for miniatures and receive my parcel on time (at least that.......and well packaged), but when I open it all I see are mock-ups !!!! I contact them and they tell me that they will send me back the products of my choice for the same value as what was ordered..................except that the postage and packing for my return and the return of my parcels were at my expense !!!!!! A few months later I sent a message on the occasion of my second order saying that I wanted to start again on the right foot by forgetting and that I did not hold rigor ..................I order 3 models at 172nd I receive my package and on opening one of the three is at 176th !!!!! ...........withte model in the 172nd and the photo of the box on which is written"" 172nd "" !!!!! I contact them and they tell me that there's not much difference between the 172nd and the 176th !!!! I reply that I only ride the 172nd and that I know very well that the 172nd and 176th are not so similar................correctement ...... I then receive an e-mail telling me that I'm being offered 7 E on postage for my next order.....................Bravo !!!! I then receive an email telling me that shipping will be free for my next order of a minimum of 50 E and this valid until June 23 !!!!..............Bravo !!!!! So I"" MAGIC "" !!!!!!

happy to have found a model motorcycle that suits me and happy with the service because after 4 days this model was at home. But to my surprise, there were no instructions in French, and I don't speak Chinese or German or English, only FRENCH. After inquiring with the service, I was told that the instructions and drawings were clear enough for assembly. Que Nenni. I don't understand a thing. So why sell a model in France if you don't have the instructions in French? Even with a discount and free postage (given by the complaint department) I won't change my mind. I don't order from this site any more and I don't do anything else.

I received two thunderbolt P47 canopies and they were crushed! I couldn't get them back to their original shape. I received these pieces wrapped in bubble plastic in a paper envelope. It would be better to send them in rigid cardboard packages. What recourse do I have to obtain the canopies in good condition? This incident may not be your fault, but your packaging deserves to be improved.

Hello, unfortunately the packaging was not sealed. All but one of the brushes I ordered were missing. How am I supposed to apply paint without a brush? A subsequent delivery would not be bad. This criticism is intended to ensure that the packaging is better in future. M. f. G. Lehmann

I will never use this company again. The goods have still not arrived after two weeks. Instead there are newsletters with models with Nazi symbols and tanks from the world war. If the package does not arrive within 4 days, I will ask for my money back.

I ordered a yellow Fleischmann Shell wagon after requesting confirmation of availability by email specifying the color and marking of the wagon - confirmation of ""dispo"" - Received a silver wagon with no relation to the one ordered - Nothing to do to obtain a refund n of the purchase - Customer service only there to not answer Absolutely avoid this seller The 2304 - Following response from 1001 maquettes indeed they offered to return the wagon I c""At your expense and with file opening fee of 3 Euros"" This is how 1001 maquettes assumes its errors! Le 3004 - Following 1001 Maquettes' last message, I contacted customer service again, who agreed, after discussions, to a full refund of the purchase price and reimbursement of the cost of returning the non-compliant item. So as far as I'm concerned, the dispute is over. I'd just like to point out that the purchase took place on March 21. So if I keep just one star for the review (very bad first experience, but I'd like to point out that Customer Service has always been very courteous on the phone), I'm withdrawing the ""A FUIR - dishonest store"" to say ""You must insist that they take responsibility for their shipping error"".

I had booked express delivery to receive the parcel within the week. I didn't hear from him for the whole week, and it was only the following week that I received an e-mail telling me that my parcel was on its way. So I received it well after the 4 to 6 days I'd expected when ordering. I sent an e-mail before receiving it to find out why it was late and why I had received duplicate e-mails with errors in the automatic e-mails (one sentence did not appear correctly). I was waiting for an explanation. I received a few lines of reply with no apology, no explanation and, above all, no answers to my questions. So I sent another e-mail and I'm still waiting for an answer. This company doesn't manage after-sales service and customer relations at all. I'm very disappointed. I'd read some good comments, especially about deliveries, but apparently not everyone is on the same page.

Virtually unprotected packaging (a small piece of crumpled kraft paper insufficient to protect the miniature during transport. On unpacking, I see that the car's windscreen is broken. I wrote to 1001 maquettes...who merely offered me free delivery on my next order..... even though this was a standard commercial offer (I had already received an e-mail to this effect before delivery!). In short, deplorable service. And the customer service email was not signed and had no telephone number. TO BE AVOIDED

If I hadn't been threatened with a ""hand courante"" for not respecting the purchase contract for a model and a sheet of ordinary decals, I'm sure that three yes three months after the order I'd still be waiting for my pack of 1001 Maquettes. So you'll understand that from now on I'm not taking this site very seriously, unlike other English, German, Polish or Czech sites, which are much more efficient.

Hello Sir and Madam, I'm writing to inform you that my order has arrived a second time in poor condition. The order concerned flat paint for copper and white decals. When I placed my first order for copper decal paint, it arrived crumpled, so I sent you a message to let you know so that my next order wouldn't arrive in the same condition. Unfortunately, it arrived crumpled again.

I have been disapointed so far because I received the wrong order and have had no response from customer service to date.. The processing of my order seemed to be OK. I received timely updates regarding when the products would be received for shipping. I also received a notice when the order was being shipped. I received a shipment in 2 to 3 days as was stated. However, I received the incorrect shipment. My order #14439 was not what I received. I received order #14539 which is not mine. I have sent 2 e-mails to customer service ([email protected]) and have had no response yet. The Website states that Customer Service is important to them. I have seen no evidence to date. A customer service telephone number for English speaking customers would be helpful. I am awaiting a response regarding what to do with the incorrect shipment I received and what is the status of my order for which payment was accepted.

Dear sir, I am sorry, it seems that we inverted the items with another customer : I will send you in a separate email the address of the other customer where you can send the wrong items: he will send you the correct item. Nick Customer service
