Very long shipping time (more than 3 weeks) with no information about the reason (missing product) and no alternative proposed... Refund in the form of a credit note, but not including shipping costs for a new order... Several messages informing of product availability, but a site that refuses orders for a product considered to be out of stock... An efficient hotline that did its utmost to find a solution to this problem.

When ordering When ordering, the image was misleading as it showed two bottles of Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner side by side for no other reason it seems than to suggest that you would get two for the price. Of course only one item arrived and when calculating postage and packing then the item was quite expensive.

I am a new customer and this was my 1st order. As for satisfaction, well, I'm disappointed with the time taken between my order and the preparation of the parcel: 6 working days. Order placed on the morning of 1011 (01:00 am) and preparation and dispatch of the parcel on 1711. (I'm not counting Saturdays because I don't know if you work on Saturdays. If not, one more day) Worried on the morning of 17 I sent a better to ask if there was a particular concern ... and as luck would have it the same evening the package was sent. I have a request that customer service has not answered = Can you inform the customer by email when there is a supply problem with an item? I have read other comments and I see that the problem of speed in processing orders is recurrent. Côte positif' I will recommend your site because the choice is varied and of good quality, hoping that the shipping service will be more reactive. It's better to receive items before a birthday ....

Purchased on 10/16/17 Super Mario Bros. Puzzle Ground Pound Available delivery 2-4days. Called 1 week around Delivery within a week sorry. Bad German French accent.2 weeks around called delivery within a week sorry. so it went on for 6 weeks. Parcel came from France via the Netherlands. I only received false tracking numbers and none for DHL. The same gentleman with the French accent was always difficult to understand, not least because of his loudness. alternative numbers or employees were not available. He was quiet and relatively friendly but not much help. Constantly saying ""delivery will definitely come within a week"" in the hope that it will be right at some point doesn't help. luckily we had bought other birthday presents elsewhere. Even the Chinese would have been quicker and for half the money. Juice store never again!!!!!

Never Again Never Again Dispatching and shipping takes far too long. I ordered 5 weeks ago and still have got nothing. No reaction when complaining by mail. Horrible prices: Most of the items are nearly priced double compared to competitors like Hannants. Not acceptable. I only ordered because I found this special kit anywhere else.

I'm a bit disappointed, but the problem was solved fairly quickly. For example, regarding the stock on the website. I ordered an item which was available in stock but which was not dispatched within a few days as indicated. But I'd still recommend them, as the team did their utmost to sort it out, and many thanks for the wide choice of good quality models.

very bad experience with this site. stock not updated. paint order placed with them with stock available listed on the site. but two weeks later i have to call them to be told that my order is not going to be shipped because of 3 references that are on order... no initiative on their part (delayed shipment, commercial gesture...) I wouldn't recommend them

I placed the order on a Sunday in the evening. I selected ""prepayment"" as the payment method. On Tuesday afternoon, less than 48 hours after placing the order, I received an e-mail from the retailer with a payment reminder. With all due respect, I think it would be appropriate and fair if the retailer gave the customer a little more time to process the payment, even with prepayment. After all, the usual bank transit times must also be taken into account. In return, the retailer did not seem to be in a particular hurry to send the goods, especially when the money is already in his account. Although a delivery time of only a few days was stated, delivery took almost two weeks. Only a friendly reminder to deliver the goods now got things moving. The retailer then sent the goods by DHL parcel. However, the item I ordered was flat and fitted into an A-4 envelope without any problems. It could therefore also have been sent by maxi letter (with the option of registered mail). Firstly, this would have saved shipping costs and secondly, I wouldn't have had to sacrifice an entire day waiting for the parcel carrier. Unfortunately, I cannot yet provide any information about the item itself as the construction of the Bismark is not expected to take place until spring 2018. First the aircraft carrier ""Graf Zeppelin"" will be started.

Please spare me such mails I don't want to have anything more to do with this miserly company. Lousy business dealings I bought a model the first package without content but customs costs the second package with content but again customs costs. Who will reimburse me - because of this company - for my first customs costs?

I have been a customer for many years. On all orders I have had no delivery problems. Record delivery compared to other suppliers. But this time! There were a few hiccups that were rather embarrassing for me! To be rectified. Happy holidays to the whole team. I've just seen your reply to my comment. My order was placed on 3112017 and I received it on 14112017. In my invoice the product was supposed to be wrapped in gift paper. It was not! Reread all the emails I sent you and you'll see that the product I received on 6112017 is a poster that was in a parcel! Photos were taken of it and sent to your distr

I received the package on time and in good condition. The only downside is the price for some models, which is up to 50% more than some retailers (the A 400M on the site is 93€, while others offer it for less).
