A few days after placing an order for a model, customer service got in touch to tell me that the product was out of stock and that the restocking date was estimated at 4-5 weeks. With no further certainty provided, I opted for a refund (now in progress). I appreciate the customer service's spontaneous contact, even if given the amount involved (just over €450) it was a minimum. I can also understand the announced restocking delay, given the origin. What doesn't encourage me at all to try again is, on the one hand, the number of reviews posted here mentioning this problem and, on the other hand, the fact that at the time of ordering this model was indicated as being in stock in 5 copies (unless I'm mistaken, that's still the case today! ). I think it's a pity to make it so difficult for people to know how many items are in stock, which must require a much heavier follow-up, and which has to be done for a certain number of items. In my case, it was shooting myself in the foot, because going from a stock of 5 announced to 0 in reality makes me wonder about the very existence of stock tracking, and doesn't really give a feeling of reliability.

When we ordered we were told that it would take 3 to 4 working days, but the model was delivered 13 days later because it was not in stock. We would have liked to know this at the time of purchase....c was for our son and the wait was too long.

parcel conforms to the order products very well packed speed of dispatch despite a small mix-up due to the tracking which indicated that the parcel had been dispatched but the follow-up by the site of the post office said that the parcel was ready but not yet taken in charge by the post office. In fact, the parcel had left the 1001 maquettes depot, but the post office took two days to dispatch it, so it wasn't the seller's responsibility. With the cat, the person I spoke to did her utmost to inform me of the situation. So yellow card to the post office and good point to 1001 maquettes. I'll recommend you without any worries, while keeping in the back of my mind that the post office has its failings in your area. I definitely recommend

The box arrived completely broken as it did not come with protective packaging. They have sent directly the box of the model that is a very thin cardboard wrapped with plastic. It was to make a gift and the appearance was horrible. For this that would not have increased their costs much I will not buy again in this store because you risk that the merchandise arrives destroyed.

On August 11, I placed an order Several times contacted both by phone and email Apparently I am always kept on the line After more than a month I still have not received anything On the website it says that my order is canceled but is paid Edit: On October 9 I received a part of the order Shortly before that I was informed by a friendly employee from France about the cause of an apparently exceptional problem After receiving this part of the order this nice lady called me again to explain why the last part is still taking some time Service from her is very good Of course not pleasant to have to wait so long for the stuff Suspected cause of problems is the computer system of 1001

The model is fine what I didn't like is that I didn't know when it was going to arrive the tracking number they sent me by email was not correct I tried to contact them to solve the issue and I got nothing. They did not reply to my email. That's why the score is so low.

Very good store! The prices are attractive, there's plenty of choice, and delivery is fast and careful. However, it is (apparently?) IMPOSSIBLE to cancel your order if you make a mistake or change your mind, even if it's not yet in preparation. So it's best to be

I placed an order for a model on September 4 paying for a shipping service that promised to deliver the package between September 6 and 8. On the 7th I sent them an email asking about the status of the package and was told that it would arrive the following day (which was Saturday the 8th) or early the following week. I was also told that the tracking code would certainly be provided to me on the 8th. I told them how unhappy I was as I had paid extra money for it to be delivered between the 6th and the 8th. Trying to contact them in multiple ways I was given the tracking code on Monday via customer service chat. Finally the package arrived on the 12th and they mailed me the tracking code the day before. The package was correct and arrived in good condition. Overall my rating is bad and I am disappointed.

Excellent customer service and delivery (on time). On the other hand, the product (dolphin helicopter) had obviously already been opened because it was damaged (landing gear detached). The item was sold out but there was no mention of any discount.

It would be perfect with shorter delivery times. 6 days for a product in stock is a bit long.

I placed my order thinking that the store was in the United States. It was only after the three weeks it took for the items to arrive that I realized the online store is located in Europe. Otherwise, a successful online purchase.

Why does it take so long for delivery of my order? Why does it take 10 days from the time of my order (30 July) for you to pull two small sheets of decals from your stocks, put them in an envelope and mail them? Why did you not forward to me the tracking number of my order as you said you would do? Why did you omit CALIFORNIA from my address that I gave you? Why did you include my postal code mixed in with a bunch of other numbers making it very difficult to know where the package was going? This probably explains why it took another 16 days from the time you put the package in the mail to the time I received it yesterday (25 Aug)
