If I could give a 2.5 I would If I could give a 2.5 I would. Ordered a vacuum form canopy and received it in a 'cushioned envelope.' As you would imagine, it was damaged at some point in transit. 1001 was quick enough to dispatch another without cost to replace it. But, it arrived in a cushioned envelope - damaged... If you read this 1001, use boxes, even little ones to protect the product. They were quick enough with the full refund however, so 'acceptable' service in that I got my money back without hassle. Thank you.

Dear Mr Neal, You made your order on August 9th. The delay was announced between August 28th and August 29th. The product you ordered is not in stock in our warehouse but by our suppliers, as it is written on our productsheets. We ship from France, and you live the US. That is why the delay is longer but we are currently respecting the delay, which were announced in the first place. Yours sincerely, The 1001modelkits team

i chose this site for the large choice of paints and the timely delivery, but despite the large choice, the prices of the models are way out of line. for example, the astrolabe at 356.25 with the 6% discount, i found it at 219 on another site.

The delivery time was very good. And the preparation of the order was very quick, perhaps too quick as the packaging was basic. A little more I lost one of the parts of my order. What's more, the catalog I should have received was replaced by a simple moto.... poster, so I was a little disappointed.

I have been ripped off and robbed. I made the return of the products purchased (It was for a gift and I made a mistake in the scale of products) and almost two months later I have not received any refund or voucher for the amount spent or anything like that. I have been trying for two weeks to contact them by phone and email and there is no way they will answer my calls or emails. I have neither the products nor the money. I feel like I have been ripped off and robbed.

Not very impressed with the shipping 1 told it was going out DHL it did not. 2 two weeks wait for shipment 3 shipment was not boxed but wrapped with thin black plastic 4 the boxes inside plastic wrap were crushed on one side and plastic wrap was torn open. This is the first time that I have had a problem hopefully the last all other orders were great.

ACTUALLY I CAN'T GIVE MY OPINION ABOUT THE SERVICE YET BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST PURCHASE MADE ON JULY 19 AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE ORDER YET I GUESS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE IT ALL IN STOCK AND SO THEY INFORM ME ABOUT THE DETAILS OF THE ORDER.

Good afternoon. I would like to score well but I can not because since the 27th of last month that I ordered two items (a German motorcycle and a German field kitchen) I have not received either of the two orders which I bring to your attention to inform me if I will get or on the contrary I will get my money back. Thank you very much and I am waiting for an answer before making the pertinent steps so that as I have already said the order or the money arrives to me. A greeting

Order: German Navy painted 2WK 51 figures... from Revell (02525) The figures are not painted - the description is absolutely misleading. For the colors you have to pay another 25- € and it is an immense work!!! According to the product information, the material is very harmful to health - you shouldn't actually touch it.... Positive: Very large variety of figures!

Highly unadvisable, I ordered a model that was announced and then finally sent 10 days after the announced time. The latter were delivered by a problematic service provider (mondial relay) who delivered to a store that had never been opened! 1001 maquettes hides behind the fact that it has no control over its delivery service providers. Highly unadvisable if you want a confident site capable of delivering professionally. Today, 28 days after my order, I still have nothing and my parcel is still in a collection center.

On October 20, 2013 I made a purchase on this page of models to assemble the purchase had the order number 025823 and a value of 13836€ To be delivered in Madrid. By an error of this company the address was written incompletely I know this because in the mails that they sent me said "that the address was incomplete and that the postal company MRW was going to return the order" and also that as soon as it was in the hands of 1001maquetas they would send it again. It has been almost 5 years and they never sent the order again and they never refunded the money of the purchase. I got tired of writing and they didn't answer and calling.

Car color doesn't match used box why are you sending me a model that doesn't match. It would be better not to send anything than to send anything at all. Just say you don't have the model, it's safer.
