Products conform and at a good price, but delivery time a little long (and especially without information on a restocking date) ...

But you have got to be kidding me I had ordered decals in 1/32 scale for an American plane and others also in 1/32 scale for a German plane and you sent me decals for the P-38J Lightning but the most serious thing is that they are in 1/48 scale so they are unusable. Therefore I have ended my relationship with you for good. I asked for apples and you sent me bananas but I paid for apples...goodbye

Order delivered very late and one of the products was missing. I was unable to give the gifts in time. Impossible to reach the phone number for information. I'll pass next time.

this company is a ripoff they do not inform you about import duties £56.00 on my order you think you are buying from an UK company , but you then find out it is a french company, you receive an email asking for import duties !!!!!!!! we all know how many scam emails we receive. You then ask 1001 hobbies for confirmation of import duties, they then do not reply so you check the couriers website. Even worse they have shipped the package with useless parcel service oops I mean UPS they say I can pay the driver upon delivery I then receive an email telling me UPS have failed to deliver twice even though I was at home on both occasions. getting no help from 1001hobbies I managed to sort out delivery and payment with UPS . IF you are a UK modeler steer clear of these scammers. you will probably be able to buy what you want from a reputable UK wholesaler.

Sir,
Thank you for your email. We regret that you did not see that we indicate on the site that customs fees may be added for orders over 136€.
We apologise for this incident, but since the BREXIT the British customs have added charges.
Sincerely,

Before placing an order for 460 €, I wanted to call for information. The person who answered seemed to know nothing about her subject. After putting me on hold, she simply hung up on me. For the rest nothing to say, but not sure that I place another order. A little professionalism from your staff would not be a luxury.

choice, fair prices, express delivery, but I only needed 5ml micro jars, not 18ml, I only have one model to make exceptionally, and now I find myself with 14 almost new jars to throw away! what a waste of money Michel!

Nul hyper nul, and once again my opinion will be refused... They sell you models with unusable plans and this company doesn't give a damn, they give you a credit of 15% of the price of your order excluding shipping costs, which of course remain at your expense. (35€ for a 240€ purchase that goes into the garbage)

They bent over backwards for the decalquo from England and so did the model, even though it was late in arriving.

Very bad translations of the catalog in general. From French to Spanish they should not be so bad. Some of them are translated from English to Spanish by the automatic translator and look like the translations of the Chinese on EBay or Amazon.

Communication in french from the m9eder company is not very convenient. Also the status of the order, what is and isn't in stock and what will eventually be delivered was unclear. Therefore, it was a pleasant surprise that the entire order was delivered complete.

It does not fit my needs. I was interested in two 1000 l. tanks for waste. Not the supposed model that I received. The advertisement of the item, is totally misleading. I am pending to return it and to be refunded the amount paid. I hope this is not a scam. I need instructions to the effect, which I expect to receive.

I deplored the lack of responsiveness: following my order, after several reminders, I was informed that the desired item was out of stock. So I chose another item.... no reply, then a notice that my order had been dispatched, on which I noticed that all the paints (and other accessories) were there, but that the main item, a boat, was waiting to be restocked"..... I'm worried because it's a birthday present and I'm afraid I won't receive it in time. In the end, delivery was made the very next day and everything was there, but communication was poor. What a shame! (Well, I haven't seen the model yet, it's packed and the recipient will open it tomorrow: I hope he'll be satisfied).

I think you should place the decal sheets in rigid envelopes. For the decals (for the manufacturer) it's a pity, for a N°, for example the 2, to put only 2 on the sheet, it limits the number of registrations in the same font, I can only make a plane with the 2-LH for example and can't make the 2-LA or 2-FH etc...

Run away from this store, error when buying an item, email within 12 hours to cancel the order and no response. The store sends the item (it happens) on the other hand procedure for product return initiated on their site (archaic by the way) and it's been 5 days that I'm waiting for someone to deign to answer me, the way customers are treated is not acceptable.
