I mistakenly made a scaling error on some parts that I sent back without anything happening despite reminders. When you register my credit, the bill will go up by itself. For the moment I don't find you very efficient.

Alleen bereikbaar via een review op Trustpilot Op 10 september 2020 artikel TU00366 besteld en betaald. Sinds 10 september staat het pakket bij PostNl als 'aangemeld' maar vandaag 6 oktober nog steeds niets ontvangen. Op een mail van vrijdag 2 oktober j.l. geen enkele reactie. Als ik bel krijg ik een engels sprekende voicemail. Communicatie langs Trustpilot werkt wel, want het pakket is vandaag 12 oktober, na een stevige en harde review op 6 oktober, geleverd. 1001 Modelkits: doe wat aan je klantencontacten via email of telefoon anders redt je het niet.

The instructions are very bad. They trell you to hit a bind button that is not there. My boat has a sticky rudder so it cannot turn left.

Model didnt arrive. No response from customer service. Now having to try and get refund from credit card company. Update.. 10pm Mon 5th Oct. Still no contact from customer service... Didn't receive any address verification email, just one saying it was in transit and then one saying it was delivered. UPS courier service admits they can't give me proof of delivery (despite address being a very well known naval base) and UPS advise me to take up with sender. This was meant to be a birthday gift for my son, but nothing arrived. Really disappointing.

My order was packed well shipped promptly (especially considering the craziness of ordering something from overseas right now with the Covid-Craziness) and the prices were reasonable. I'll happily deal with this vendor/business again.

1001 Modelkits really knows how to take care of their customers and ensure satisfaction. After receiving an order with several damaged paint bottles 1001 Modelkits replaced my order at no additional charge. The follow on order has just arrived in perfect condition and I could not be happier. Thank you 1001 Modelkits for standing behind your customers and ensuring that we get value for our money.

Hello I'm a beginner model maker and I've come across your site to order the equipment I need to get started in good conditions. Model paints workstation carpets various tools etc.. My dissatisfaction concerns a pair of pliers with black handles sent with the kit (6 paints, 3 brushes, glue and pliers). I find it difficult to supply a lower-end pair of pliers. Useless because not fine enough to scratch. The blue-handled pliers sold separately are apparently of much better quality, and in any case usable because they're finer. In short, if the rest of my order complies with the fast and careful shipment, you've stupidly lost a customer. In fact, I've just bought a cabin airbrush compressor and quite a lot of c

hello.i'm not happy with your service.i sent you back a new airplane received damaged. You did nothing except to send it back to me with a letter saying that you had called the distributor and that it was a manipulation to be done on the transmitter. I called kyosho myself, who confirmed that they had never distributed this kit in BNF (without radio and batteries).I called your secretary a fortnight ago, who has done nothing since. What's more, the first time I sent the kit back, I was obliged to pay 11euro40 for the colissimo because your secretary confirmed that she had omitted to send me the return barcode. I only had the sav code.

Dear Mr Amitai, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for this incident. Unfortunately, you will understand that carrier delays are currently much longer due to health events and customs are perfectly blocking packages longer than expected.

Op 5 september heb ik een bestelling geplaatst en betaald. Vandaag 21 september heb ik nog steeds niets binnen. Op mails wordt niet gereageerd en de telefoon wordt niet opgenomen. Ik heb ze een keer telefonisch te pakken gekregen. Toen meldden ze dat ze nog wachtten op 1 product en dat mijn bestelling op 17-9 verzonden zou worden. Ik heb nog steeds geen verzendbevestiging gekregen. Blijkbaar reageert het bedrijf wel op reviews hier. Dus 1001hobbies kunnen jullie aub uitleggen wat jullie aan het doen zijn?? Edit: Op mijn mail van 7-9 hebben jullie gereageerd Op mijn mail van 8-9 hebben jullie niet gereageerd Op mijn mail van 11-9 hebben jullie gereageerd nadat ik heb gebeld Op mijn mail van 18-9 hebben jullie niet gereageerd. Wat betreft jullie telefoonnummer +31 85 80 81 159: Op 7-9 heb ik 4 keer gebeld. Alle 4 keer kreeg ik voicemail. Op 15-9 heb ik gebeld en kreeg ik een Engels sprekende medewerkster aan de lijn. Op 21-9 heb ik 8 keer gebeld. Alle 8 keer kreeg ik voicemail. Jullie bereikbaarheid is dus waardeloos. Ik zie dat de order inmiddels gesplitst is. Ik ben benieuwd wanneer alles geleverd wordt.

Just don't order!!! Item is damaged I can't send the item back via my customer account none of the phone numbers work and the customer service by e-mail doesn't answer either. I want to return the item and get my money back! It's great that there is a 30-day return option - but it's no use if you can't reach anyone by phone, email or customer account! Just don't order anything!!! EDIT: After my review on this portal, I have now received an e-mail and can send the item back against payment of the postage costs. However, both the item and the packaging are damaged (I had attached pictures to my email), which is probably the fault of the manufacturer and the shipping company. However, the seller and not the buyer is liable for this (entrepreneurial risk and buyer protection), which is why the seller must actually bear the shipping costs. And both telephone numbers (0308 09 35 7 83 and +49 692 045 79 231) do not work.

I would have given them no stars if I could bought a model from them which I received back in July with missing parts which I still have not received. I�ve asked for a refund which they agreed On the 5th September and would be done at the beginning of the week I�m still waiting on this they have ignored my last two emails For a update on the refund. Still haven�t had a reply not impressed with their customer service wouldn�t recommend them to anyone.
