I bought a body and when I received it, it was very damaged and broken at the back. I sent an email to customer service to report the problem and they never replied.

I am satisfied with my order and it arrived quickly but you should put more glue in the package.

Shipping cost is much to high Shipping cost is much to high, I can get the identical product from Japan [gunze paint] for a fraction of the cost, but when your in a hurry you pay. I do like your site very much but can't afford you very often. - Bill Kushmick, USA

Parcel well received but some components are detached from their support in the pouch and are therefore loose and difficult to identify.

I'm going to try to be as""honest"" as possible, to start with it's unacceptable to write"" our customers adore us"" when there are so many negative reviews. As far as I'm concerned, I placed an order for more than 100€ validated on July 20 for the site and since July 24 it""has been in process"". Like many people, I naively tried to contact customer service by e-mail to get more details. And you know what .... no answer theoretically this-said service will wake up at the sight of my notice by saying substa""we did not receive your mail"".... This is all the more unacceptable given that the numerous customer service responses to other negative reviews boil down to "our suppliers are behind schedule". When we know that many other internet platforms offer the same services with globally identical prices and that from experience, in the event of a problem, they inform their customers and make a commercial gesture. I can only conclude by saying that, as you will have understood, I don't intend to repeat the experience, and to let my many model-building friends know that this site is unprofessional.

Reply to 1001 maquettes: yes, I did receive your parcel today, but it was too late! And yes the Post Office is right the box was much too big to fit in my Mailbox. What's the point of taking a Colissimo without a signature if I have to take a day off work to receive your package!!!! AND NO, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND YOUR WEBSITE given the lack of interest you show in your customers. Very disappointed parcel still not received after 5 days despite almost 10 € postage colissimo without signature. At 1001 maquettes they tell me it's the Post Office's fault. At the post office, the package doesn't fit in your box.

I modified my initial order of 2 models the next day by phone, adding a 3rd model which I also paid for. This change was not taken into account immediately because I received a message saying that a package had been sent with 2 models. I had to call and my 3rd model was sent to me in another parcel at no extra cost. Very satisfied with the very good condition of

Please review my letter addressed to you. It's not your fault, especially, but the chain system must be working properly, otherwise it's very messy.

Shipping took a bit long, then it was impossible to order the same product several times in one order (display out of stock as soon as we put in more than 1), so shipping costs were added and in the end we had to order one item at a time... (or I don't know mea culpa) But all in all, it was fine.

1 year ago to the day on 080716I ordered a model (lotus type 72c 1970 from ebbro:ref EMSF001)paid 10751euros cashed the next day but still not received the order! After several emails, the last one with a reply dated 160916 from a certain Guillaume Mortier, no more replies, they take people for fools, while on my account on their site the order is still being processed! I've stopped the emailsbut they've still been cashing the money for a year. Don't order from them as long as it's ok, it's ok and they're more expensive!

Never mind, mustn't grumble..... The canopy took a while to arrive, which is not an issue, but when it did come, it had been crushed in the post. Never mind, I found a suitable piece at the bottom of my spares box..... well wrapped.

Order received promptly and compliant. I had given my husband a ""Duesenberg"" from ""Monogram"" (plastic and metal) but I had so many problems finding colors that matched the list I found with the assembly plan... Black white no problem, but for red tan brown light brown green silver what a headache! That won't stop me from coming back to you if I need products. If I'd had the chance, I'd have put in 3 Ã

Availability can be improved: when I ordered an item""in stock"" it was no longer in stock at the time of preparation, which therefore took 4 to 5 days. Otherwise, nothing to say about the information and communication provided to the customer about his order being prepared. The packaging of the parcel was absolutely perfect.

Unreliable and irritating seller. Purchase made a month ago responds with dropper with communications that only serve to stall. At the last request for information repeated twice to get an e-mail in response they wrote to me: ""We have contacted our logistician. We will let you know."". It's been a week and I still don't know anything. By now I am convincing myself that I threw my money away. The delivery address in my order and in their order confirmation is correct and corresponds to a company where there is always someone ready to receive.

A C H T U N G A C H T U N G FRAUD SUSPECTED The goods were ordered and paid for on May 19. No goods to date (June 14) and no response from customer service since June 9. This smells like FRAUD - whoever orders here should have the money left and order the goods elsewhere! Can only say: FINGER WEG !
