the preparation + delivery times need to be reviewed (order placed on May 10, delivery in a relay point (the weak point, you might say?) on May 21. I placed 2 similar orders in England and Check Republic on the same day, delivered in less than an hour.

Disastrous plastic quality! Unacceptable for a model of this price. Given that you're already very expensive compared to others, I don't think I'll be continuing with you. My previous order was given 5 working days and was delivered in over a month... Look for the mistake! Especially since 1001 maquettes doesn't wait more than a month to collect the order! Logically, the order should only be cashed when the order is sent.... others do it! An angry customer... jerk

Very bad management and attention. I am still waiting for them to give me the procedure for a return on top of that it arrived broken. I would never buy anything here again in my life. Everything slow and they ignore any problem they have caused. Nefarious. Edit: I receive response here but not by mail as I have been claiming for two weeks to request the return of the product. V

The item did not fit my needs according to its dimensions as they are very small. They do not accept returns under any circumstances and do not comply with their return policy. Besides poor quality of materials and delays in delivery. I do not recommend buying their products at all.

Order placed on 17042019. Worried about the time spent on 25042019 I decided to contact the website chat. So you need to know that for example: 4 copies available does not mean that there are 4 copies in stock but rather 4 copies available from the 1001 Maquettes supplier. The delay in delivery (non-preparation of the order) is that a model is in restocking (whereas on the site it is available in 2 copies) approximately 2 days later the parcel is prepared and dispatched. No compensation, no discount, no coupon ... in short, no commercial gesture. I'm a bit disappointed by the confusing way the site is managed. We'll see how it goes ... Further to your reply to my review: I'm not going back on the shipping time. But as soon as you validate your order"". For me, but I could be wrong, the validation of the order is dated 170419 (date of credit card collection) and therefore from 170419 to 020519 does not correspond to the 5 to 7 working days of shipping time as you pointed out to me. Best regards

Response from 1001hobbies
Dear Sir, Thank you for your review. I do not understand however what you mean by ""half or more of the communication was not in English"". All the e-mails exchanged with you were in English as I just checked, since all of our customer service hosts are English speakers. You had chosen the eco delivery method, it is normal not to get any tracking number but just to be informed that the package was shipped away (on the same day of your order). For further informations about the delivery and shipping methods, please check the dedicated section in our FAQ available on the following link: https://1001maquetteshelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us Best regards, The 1001Modelkits' Customer Service.

No customer service - you're told you'll get a reply within a few days, but it never comes. I had to call several times to get a refund... in short, a very bad experience.

Excessive shipping charges. Not clear that the shipment is made from France and therefore with an additional fee of Euro 397 (which adds up to 1194 shipping) in an amount of 24 euros. As for the goods all perfect.

Well you found what you were looking for that is very good for me as a customer and good prices the downside is that you have to wait for my understanding a long time to receive orders but they arrive which is important. No hurry.

Nothing to say about my order placed on a Thursday and received by colissimo the following Monday. In general, I'd rather rate the 1001 Maquettes site: the advantage of this site is that it offers an absolutely plethoric catalog! Quite simply, are you looking for a particular model? A rare part? A special decal sheet... In short, there's a good chance you'll find it! The problem is that this advantage comes at a high price, which is why I only go to 1001 Maquettes as a last resort when I can't find what I'm looking for elsewhere. Su""classiques"" (like Airfix Revell Tamiya Academy etc...) the prices are well above the competition. On the other hand, navigation on the site is a bit messy, and among the abundance of references it's sometimes rather difficult to sort out. And when you're faced with a product from a Czech brand (for example) that's unknown to the general public, you feel a bit sick to your stomach before clicking""Add to Cart""...

I have been waiting for a month and they tell me that they can't find my order and that the mistake is mine. They do not give me the option to track my order and the carrier does not contact me. After this month they tell me that I have to pay again! I call the phone with prefix (+34) and they tell me that I am calling Paris. They are real thieves. DO NOT BUY FROM ES

Misleading product listing The item for sale listing stated it would be dispatched within 24hrs. It actually took them 5 days to dispatch. They then blamed me for choosing Eco post which wasn't cheap for the delay. As the item was bought as a gift and turned up too late to fulfil it's purpose I had to purchase elsewhere. When it did arrive I refused delivery and sent it back. I have heard nothing since, that is nothing I can understand as their communications are in french when they clearly know I am English.These people are arrogant, ignorant and misleading.
