Slow Service Ordered 1 kit and it took 3 weeks to arrive. Email said not is stock, when said I wanted to cancel the kit was suddenly on its way to me. Will not be using again, when I can go elsewhere and get next day delivery.

Now the 8/08/16. It's a long few days and still no reply to direct emails and no refund. I would advise you to be wary of this company and shop around. I ordered 2 kits on behalf of my son only to find out the next day that I had ordered the wrong kits. I immediately emailed details cancelling my order and asked for a reply confirming this. Ten days later and after quite a few emails done through the website contact us page as instructed I hve heard nothing, The onle email I have had was one stating......Your order is currently being processed. We are waiting for a product currently being brought by one of our providers. You will be notified as soon as your order is sent. Not the best customer service team. I suspect they want my £83.

Order went out on 04.07. The goods were then dispatched on 12.07 and the parcel arrived on 20.07. Not for impatient or last-minute birthday presents. There was nothing wrong with the parcel or the goods.

so first experience with 1001modellini and it starts immediately bad let's get to the point I place an order of about 100 euro after a few days of waiting 2 models are not available so they make me a voucherx the next order and so far everything in the rules when the package arrives however a model is missing (present in the bubble) in its place rcr car accessories that I did not order and I do not do anything about it. I send email to point out the error no response after 4-5 days I send another one no response. I honestly do not understand how they work so badly and what makes me angry is that I paid more than 100 euros in advance and I am missing material x at least 40!!! this is not a disservice but an almost scam.

A batch of enamel paints was not delivered on time and was therefore no longer usable and was returned to the French address listed on the website. However, no refund was made as a result. Emails were not answered. The ""hotline"" with Berlin number given on the German website consists of a French answering machine. The dealer based in France played dead. There would have been two ways to take legal action, but both would have been complicated and uneconomical. The dealer seemed to be counting on this. Research then revealed the possibility of referring the case to the ""Center for European Consumer Protection"". The time-consuming formalities involved were successful: four months after returning the goods, I received an email from the retailer: 7 juin 12:03 CEST Hello Thank you we will issue the refund as soon as possible. Best regards Guillaume Mortier (1001maquettes) The money has indeed been credited.

Horrible Horrible service Purchased a photo etch for F6f2 Hellcat on June 29. No where on the 1001 Model Kit web site was there a clear statement that products would be shipped from France!!. On July 6 received an e mail that product had been shipped and I would receive a postal tracking number as soon as available. Never received the tracking number. I telephoned customer service and got a recorded message in French! Sent another e-mail and got response ""will answer as soon as possible."" It is now July 14, and product not received. I live on the US east coast in New jersey so product should have arrived after eight (8) days intransit, unless mailed by boat. Sent another e-mail with the same standard response ""will answer as soon as possible."" I am in the process of notifying Visa that I will not pay the charges to my account because of non delivery. I never had such a terrible experience with model hobby vendors. You are unable to speak with anyone, and recorded telephone messages are in French. I STRONGLY URGE ANYONE CONSIDERING PURCHASING FROM THIS VENDOR TO REMEMBER THAT THE WAREHOUSE SHIPPING POINT IS IN FRANCE AND THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO COMMUNICATIONS FROM THIS VENDOR AS TO THE STATUS OF AN ORDER other than it was shipped. Personally I do not believe this vendor had the product in stock, and never actually shipped this product. If you live in Canada or the USA beware doing business with this vendor. I am resigned to the fact that my money will not be refunded and is lost. WRP Finally on July 18 received merchandise. It had been mailed from France on July 12 and not July 6 as claimed in the vendor's e-mail. The product was ordered on June 29. Had the vendor been honest as to the date of shipment, and answered my e-mail queries, all this time wasting mess could have been avoided. This organization is a mess, never again will I place an order. They are unable to communicate effectively with the customer.

The order was placed on 607. Still not delivered on July 15! Should probably do a better job of letting people know the TRUE delivery time.

The boxes were floating in a cardboard box that was too big and had too little cushioning. The post office had put tape around the boxes because the tape was insufficient and we could have easily removed a model box. Otherwise, the selection is very interesting and the promotions sym

Delays in shipment. I ordered things in past and service was good. Recently I placed an order on June 11, 2061. Got an mail stating received order and of course accepted my payment. Got another email saying I should receive order by June 22. Great, but never received the order. Had to send two emails checking on status. After you received the second email it appears that's when my order was processed. Few days later I finally got the order. Not the normal service I was used to.

In June 2016 I purchased a set of colors I paid they sent me the invoice but to date I still have not received anything and we are at 06072016. In an email they wrote me that they had shipped to DHL courier but contacted the courier I was told that they never received the package. Unacceptable and thieving behavior.

All correct but there is room for improvement in the preparation and shipping of orders. 12 days in the preparation plus another 7 days of shipping total almost 20 days to receive an order with a weight of 16 kg.

Site with quite a lot of choice but 2 weeks late for material in stock and supposedly delivered in 7 days ...and it hasn't left their premises yet....and no return mail...Last purchase that's for sure. On the other hand, they're quick to cash in and quick to register the requested refund on their site...We'll have to see how long it takes, though.
