Wrong model. Message: Hi I received this order today, 4/11. However you have sent the wrong model. As you will see from my order I ordered model HA7501, which was the one advertised, including photos, on your web site. You have sent me model HA7506, which has a completely different colour scheme. Order ID: 89285 Product: BOEING P-26A PEASHOOTER Sent this to 1001 on 4/11 which they confirmed they had received. Have heard nothing since, now 11/11.

For my part, I find this site to be a real dud. I order three articles all in stock in the category""accessoires train"". Still no delivery after 23 days. Sent three emails with no reply. Impossible to contact them by phone as the customer service number is a disc which asks you to contact them by email (to which they do not reply). I make a claim via Paypal on Friday and miraculously on Monday I'm told that an item is missing and I'm offered a credit note or the possibility of ordering other accessories. I replied that I was no longer interested and asked for my order to be cancelled. Once again, they turned a deaf ear and sent me my order with a credit note, which did not include shipping costs. (forced sale) Given the small sums involved, and to put an end to this spiral, I ordered other accessories for the amount of the credit note, again with shipping costs at my expense. I've just received my second order after 15 days. In the meantime, to make sure I didn't miss my grandson's birthday, I ordered from l'atelier du train, which I received in three days.

I ordered an item from the store on 21.10.2016. This was reported to me on 24.10.2016 as shipped but unfortunately has not arrived until today 07.11.2016. Something like this does not have to be the fault of the model store. What is annoying, however, is that my attempts to contact the seller - apart from an automated reply - were simply ignored. So I have no goods and with this type of customer service it will be extremely difficult to get back the money I have already paid. I should probably close the account I created...

After almost a month and a half I am still waiting for my order. I would not worry if there was communication but after several failed attempts to contact them by email to know their status I decided to open a dispute with Paypal because it seemed to me that they were teasing me. Needless to say they have not even responded to the dispute but luckily Paypal is responsive and I am confident that I will at least receive my money back.

lack of communication regarding deliveries (more than a month to receive the order) explanation of why difficult to know while the competition delivers in 48 h. too bad because the choice of products is interesting and consistent with the order. Respect your deadlines!!!!! Sincerely J

What A RIP OFF I paid £26.00 for what I thought was a Supermarine Spitfire T9 two seat trainer with decals model kit, but turns out I paid £26.00 for badly detailed and moulded bits of plastic. I now have to purchase a Supermarine Spitfire MK 9 model kit to obtain the model I thought I was purchasing. They need to make it very clear on the website that you will be paying of OVERPRICED bits of plastic.

Good the 10th of this month I made 2 orders also quite high price to reach the canary islands total that I do not care because it was for a birthday gift which has already passed dates you andais dissatisfied with the disappointments that you produce in your customers but we and I especially in my case besides taking quite the order that in the end it does not matter as long as it arrives in favorable conditions you are not able to answer me through the web messages that I sent that are not few and also important. important One was for the selection of colors that I wanted for the model which supposedly I can choose and I put which I wanted with their respective reference numbers total that you passed everything and you sent me the colors that you considered the next problem is the tracking of my order through DHL to say that the order is not found anywhere I asked you where I could look at it and again you ignore my question that I have to think that my order drifts to know in what conditions it will arrive and when it will arrive? I don't understand anything but if out of 20 people 19 consider the management of the company to be bad, then we are not the ones who are unfair but you are.

I advise you not to place order on this site. today 24-12-16 In spite of a registered letter to the manager no answer.

Where is my order I ordered a couple of masking sets on August 11, 2016 I received a note on August 12, 2016 that my order was processed and that my payment was received. I have yet to receive any correspondence with a ship date or DHL tracking number. I have since sent 2 more request and no answer. This is not the way to run a business. The sets I ordered were in Stock.

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.

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.

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.
