10 days from receipt of payment to receipt of parcel by paying for express delivery. That's 5 to 6 days longer than the competition. What's more, with the piracy problem, I lost a morning and then an afternoon dealing with the police and my bank, with 10 days without a bank card and about fifteen direct debits for a loss of 2000 euros. The only good news is that the company has warned the customers of

Credit card hacked on first order (with all the hassle that entails) order delivered out of time part missing from box. This problem was reported to the site, which offered no solution as it did not reply to the customer.

If I order parts on the website and I have to pay in advance as a new customer and then only find out after several inquiries that the parts are not available at the moment, then I wonder if they couldn't have told me that before I paid in advance!

the model ordered (172°) must be rare for its price to be so high...but I haven't yet been able to judge its quality: the VERY late delivery means I haven't seen it yet. I've come to the conclusion that it must not have been in stock as advertised, and that it had to be brought in from its country of production, which is quite far away on the planet...I'll think about it before the next order.

The store application is rather inconvenient to use. Email communication is exclusively geared towards creating a customer account - even though it is possible to order as a guest without further registration.

very bad site to avoid if you have items to buy from them !!!! the colors ordered do not correspond at all to the references found on the site. moreover the pots of paint I received have been opened and used . dripping around the opening cap . after an email sent to complain no response from them by just an email of satisfaction so as I said avoid this site . moreover the postage is very excessive for three small pots of paint. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My experience takes place in 2 acts. In December 2011, I ordered various items, all of which were available. On receipt of the parcel, a part is missing. I asked for a refund, but the store refused on the grounds that I was using a credit card. I was then given a credit note for the amount of the part (22 euros from which I would have to subtract the shipping costs, of course). The model was also available and I asked for it to be sent within 48 hours (this is obviously more expensive than normal shipping). It's nothing to write home about, but it's still a pain. There are a number of French and foreign sites that are much more reliable when it comes to ve

I bought the model of the dodge charger RT 1969 replica GENERAL LEE which is in fact a drag version of the charger wheels a little big and the front fenders cut... but the car looks great if you add a few things that aren't in the rear seat/center console kit, remember to get the brown color for the interior and dashboard that isn't shown on the photo.... (it's black on the blister). I'm saying this because no one at customer service could tell me what the original model was worth in terms of identification... Only the decalcos are official... The customer service I called 2 times to be sure that the ORANGE s""translucent" paint was indeed a body paint but unfortunately the people I spoke to on the phone didn't know what they were talking about... So I bought a headlight paint and not a body paint. That's 2 pieces of information that didn't allow me to be sure of my purchase and what's more with the wrong paint because the site lacks a link to brush and glue paints for the model in question.... really too bad. I went to a model store to buy body and interior paint. Unfortunately, I ended up with a 5-euro can of paint that's useless to me and that I can't return because the return is more expensive than the can. So I won't be buying from 1001maquette again. But for a model-building pro who knows what to buy, it's an excellent site, but for a rusty guy like me, I'd have liked the support I've been getting.

I was very disappointed with my order for 3 model ships. In your description they were marked 77cm long, but when I received them they were only 50cm long. I asked why and was told that this was normal since they were World War 1 ships, but then you should mark the correct dimensions on your site. I made this order because I thought they were 77cm long models. Correct your descriptions, they don't correspond to the correct dimensions.

I was not used to such a long wait for an order until now. When the delivery arrived I had my doubts that everything had arrived in perfect condition. Unfortunately, my fears were confirmed because the vacuum-pulled airplane disk from Spuadron was totally crushed in the bubble wrap. Such delicate items should be packed in strong packaging!

I ordered a Ferrari Enzo (ref: 87775I) but received a plastic, radio-controlled Ferrari F430 (see photo). I called 1001maquettes to express my astonishment. They agreed to reimburse me but I had to pay for the return postage. Almost €13 in shipping costs for an order I would never have placed if the ad had been correct. You can see that the reference still shows an Enzo, even if after my call it was changed to specify that the vehicle is radio ordered and today it only specifies F430 (You can compare the site with the screenshot) I'm not satisfied and I don't recommend the site.

A needed service but with notable problems. 1001 modelkits is a needed service for those of us who like obscure and hard to find model kits but their are some serious flaws in their system. Firstly their website was often down or not accessible for periods of time. Secondly, just after making a order with them the email address I used was compromised and I needed to change passwords. Thankfully it was a email address with negligible info for thieves to use. Third, I ordered a specific as advertised scale model (CHI HA tank 1:72) but was given a slightly larger scale model (1:76) instead. Finally, a couple of the models I purchased were either intentionally or unintentionally opened or tampered with. If I'm paying full price for a new product then I would expect it to be untouched. As mentioned I am thankfull that 1001 model kits exits because theirs no one else out their like them that I've found but I'm wary of ordering again from them.
Response from 1001hobbies
Dear Sir, Thank you for your comment. We had some server problems in March/early April, which are solved now. I do not understand your point about your email address, there does not seem to be any problem on our part. We will double check the scales of Airfix kits (some are indeed 1:76 instead of 1:76). Have a great day, 1001modelkits - Customer care
