They offer a lot of good things that you can't easily buy elsewhere. There is something for everyone, but unfortunately the store is based in France, which is noticeable in the delivery time and payment.

Very good choice of models... Reasonably priced... On the other hand, delivery is a little slow (allow 4 working days to make your package). Packaging needs improvement (I received a notification from the post office indicating a packaging defect which delayed delivery by 1 day! Fortunately there was nothing missing

I have been disapointed so far because I received the wrong order and have had no response from customer service to date... The processing of my order seemed to be OK. I received timely updates regarding when the products would be received for shipping. I also received a notice when the order was being shipped. I received a shipment in 2 to 3 days as was stated. However, I received the incorrect shipment. My order #14439 was not what I received. I received order #14539 which is not mine. I have sent 2 e-mails to customer service ([email protected]) and have had no response yet. The Website states that Customer Service is important to them. I have seen no evidence to date. A customer service telephone number for English speaking customers would be helpful. I am awaiting a response regarding what to do with the incorrect shipment I received and what is the status of my order for which payment was accepted.

Dear sir, I am sorry, it seems that we inverted the items with another customer: I will send you in a separate email the address of the other customer where you can send the wrong items: he will send you the correct item. Nick Customer service

1001 had what I needed at a reasonable price! I needed some Aber treadplate and 1001 Models had it in stock. The real irony is the North American importer for Aber lives a mile away but was out of stock at the moment. The delivery speed was resonable with no undue Customs hiccups coming across the Canadian border (and minimal snow delay as well). Satisfied first tim customer, I've bookmarded the site for future supplies. Cheers,

DO YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF THE ORDINARY TO HAVE A VALID OPINION? DO YOU HAVE TO SOUND LIKE A MARTIAN TO BE HEARD? DO EVERYDAY WORDS HAVE NO VALUE BECAUSE THEY ARE UTTERED WITH SIMPLICITY? ARE WE ON THE VERGE OF A DICTATORSHIP OF BLING BLING OR OVER-THINKING? SERIOUSLY, SO FAR I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS IN 3 OR 4 MONTHS. BUT WHAT RELIABLE TOOL COULD DIAGNOSE A HIATUS IN A LOGISTICS CHAIN IN TERMS OF POSSIBLE FUTURE RISKS?

Product Sent to the Wrong Address! I ordered 4 airplanes from Canada to be sent to my son in a different province. The order was placed on Jan. 13,2013 and it arrived on Jan. 29,2013-over 2 weeks for delivery is unacceptable. More importantly, the planes arrived at my home and now I have to pay shipping to send them to him. Very disappointing!

Dear customer, The shipping address you provided was in Port Sidney, and the invoicing address in Vancouver. Maybe you made an error while ordering ? I am sorry for the hassle anyway. Sincerely, Nick 1001modelkits.com

Hello, I've ordered a Corsaire model from trumpeter at 132. You had it in stock. This one was ordered I believe on December 22 and after two letters of complaint on my part I only received it on January 10. I'm not complaining about the quality of your products, but your shipping service leaves a lot to be desired.

the site is well designed, although the search engines are sometimes complicated. delivery times can take a few days, but I've never had any unpleasant surprises. The prices are interesting for some products, well above the market price for others. To be recommended, but it's necessary to

The payment was made to France as far as I can remember. That confused me a bit. However, the goods arrived relatively quickly as I didn't pay by credit card or direct debit.

No order confirmation, delivery was a long time coming, an inquiry on my part was not answered and last but not least a high customs fee because the items were not declared correctly. This was definitely my last order from this store.

Slightly long order processing times. The fact that there is no stock and that orders are sent directly to the various suppliers has a lot to do with this. Otherwise, there's nothing to say, the products received are as ordered.

Ordered on 10.01. Confirmation of receipt of payment on 12.01. (so far great!) but only on 17.01. the notification that the items have been shipped. This is ok so far but not a top value. If items are not immediately available, a notification to the customer would be desirable. All in all, I will certainly not have ordered for the last time). Unfortunately, the majority of my orders (and those of well-known model makers) go to other dealers who offer the same items at significantly lower prices. The price difference of items I recently ordered from other stores ranges from insignificant to unbelievable. insignificantly similar price Aires cockpit for 1499€ - other store as well - ordered from 1001modellbau unbelievable Tamiya item for 3299€ - ordered from other store for 1895€ - Tamya recommendation: 2350 $ (Attention: Dollar) - I don't even pay the difference in a store with good advice and provided coffee! Italeri article for 2199€ - ordered from another store for 1495€ Conclusion - absolutely praiseworthy huge selection especially for scaffolding sets (here also comparable prices). - fast confirmation of receipt of payment with prepayment (that makes a good gut feeling) - relatively fast shipping - unfortunately clearly too expensive for kits (sometimes almost double the price compared to the competition) ... this messes up many orders that would end up with you at a comparable price because I (and also model building colleagues) would place them with the scaffolding parts Since the price is no secret and everything else is serious, there are still 4 stars.

very slow shipping, slow customer service response time i thought the selection and pricing was pretty comparable, if not slightly lower than a few other places for the parts i was looking at. they also had the specific combination of parts, which i would have had to order from multiple places to get. but there was almost a full 3 weeks between ordering and delivery. while i was notified that the item was being prepared to ship, then another when it was just about to ship, then another when it did ship, i did not receive a single email answering my questions regarding the order. i might consider ordering again just for a second chance, but if shipping is the same speed, i'll go elsewhere for what i need...

All is well, that ends well, i suppose... Initial order confusion, and difficult communication. Took time and Email discussions to get order back on track. Order delayed and was split into 2 parts. With delays, order was finely completed.

Very satisfied with the products ordered. On the other hand very disappointed with your site for the management of addresses (billing and delivery) Nothing is respected even after calling your sales department. A piece of advice: improve your site for delivery and everything will be fine.

I'd like to add a little something to my assessment. I've just read a number of comments and I've noticed that customer service very often tends to blame the end-of-year festivities for delays. However, as far as I'm concerned, my order was placed after the festivities and delivery still took 15 days.
