No order updates and slow dispatch Ordered on the 13/08 and still only showed ""processing"" after 7 days so cancelled. Also they only process refunds on a Wednesday which seems bizarre.

Hye Sir, We had one product in stock and the other was available from our supplier, which explains the shipping time. Concerning refunds, our accounting department makes them every Wednesday. Best regards

I visit this site I look at an article and hop it is in my basket and impossible to remove it ! ! Forced sale or bug? In any case, I don't order on a site that forces the basket without being able to delete it. So at the end of my visit, I have 8 items in my basket that I didn't put in! So good luck with this

Not really 1001 Modelkits fault ... Not really 1001 Modelkits fault ... After many weeks received model TACIT BLUE aircraft from France. Made in Chezc Republic that's the problem not user friendly extremely difficult to remove parts from plastic casting feeder lines. Leaving rough edges that need to be carefully cut down to fit. So far haven't found a cement that adheres to their type of plastic. After ship models and many aircraft models this is absolutely the worst i have ever incountered. trying to contact someone at 1001 for advice on 0490034 cement.

I received the wrong item. Due to the lack of a return slip, it was only possible to return the item after I had to prove that it was wrong. --- QUOTE: ""Please find enclosed a return label for the boat you received. To answer your questions this is the after sales service procedure. This allows us to avoid some scams. Yours sincerely, Customer Service"" QUOTE End --- Here the customer is seen as a potential fraudster! I then returned the wrong item. The parcel company has confirmed delivery! But 1001 Modellbau cannot find the return shipment! So no money back. Great! I wonder who is the fraudster here! If you want to save yourself a lot of trouble and frustration, it's better not to order here!!!!! And don't be fooled by the German presentation. This is a French company. That doesn't make a subsequent legal dispute any easier!

Ordered only 4 small items including a TX antenna for an old radio. I received the envelope with the correct delivery note, but only 3 items, the antenna not included (they can't count to 4?). No solution by phone, I had to send an e-mail and fill in ""Attestation sur l'honneur de réception de commande manquant"". The antenna had to be registered (resulting in a delay of 9 or 10 days), so where was the antenna that should have been in the e-mail?

Hello, You have chosen an Eco delivery. Eco deliveries usually take a week to arrive. But in special cases, it can take three weeks. Eco deliveries do not have tracking possible.

Wide choice of models and accessories, but prices too high compared with other sites, so only use them to order products you can't find elsewhere.

Delivery problem: 20 days after order and payment! Item returned to 1001 maquette without having passed through my home. No commercial action to solve the problem as soon as possible: 1001 maquette kindly waits for the article to come back to them before sending it back to me via another delivery source. In the meantime, days go by and I still haven't received anything (even though it's been paid for, I remind you). It would have been enough to send me another item identical to the first one and solve the problem on their side with the first delivery company, but I guess 1001 maquette doesn't care about satisfying the best (and therefore also the fastest) s

The order arrived in good time. The Humbrol HU76 paint can was probably a bit old as a 5mm crust of dry paint covered the paint on the can. A pity, but it only concerns this brand.

Sending photo-cuts and a bottle in a simple bubble bag, you can imagine what happens next. Plus a Colissimo shipment that took the wrong route.

My disastrous experience began on July 3, 2019 almost a month ago from this review. I placed a 70€ order with the free shipping offered for purchases over xx € on the website. After having exceeded the deadline that was given in the tracking of the order I contacted them and they told me that if after three weeks I had not received it I should contact them again. According to what they told me on the web they warned me that this could be the maximum shipping time (I didn't see any warning at the time but I don't rule out that this is the case). After three weeks I contacted them again and they said they would investigate the problem. That was the last I heard from them. I have been trying for 5 days to get an explanation from them but they do not answer my emails. I guess now I will have to file a complaint with the consumer office. I strongly advise against buying from this store. UPDATE 190819: after acknowledging to me last August 7 that the carrier pediel I ask them to refund the amount paid. They answer me that until the carrier does not return the package they can not return the money (I do not know how they are going to return it if it is lost). A month and a half after the order I still haven't seen the package or my money. UPDATE 070919: and it's been more than two months and I still haven't heard anything. I have already filed a complaint with the European consumer office.

Awful phone system. Extremely slow delivery 2-3 weeks when already dispatched. Nothing was stated on website at time of purchase. Awful email received. Very upsetting to be called a liar and slating my behaviour for leaving an honest review....
