delivery conformed to order but with a 13-day delay between order and delivery ....2 out of 3 items offered were not available from suppliers. This should be indicated when ordering from the online catalog.

this is the first order I've placed with you because I usually buy from oupsmodels. The difference with them is that in 2 days I have the equipment and the prices overall are 2x cheaper, so it's up to you to decide, Cordia.

Hello, I still haven't received my order, which left FRANCE TO FRANCE 4 days ago, whereas I ordered other model airplanes in South Korea and received them in 3 days. What's wrong?

The products and packaging are perfect. However, the delivery time is really long (10 days). This point needs to be improved.

In spite of some comments on the rather long delivery times I had decided not to rely on them and I was wrong... I placed my order on 3005, today is 1906 and I still haven't received my order, which has been in process since 0206. One item is unavailable - replaced by a credit note - but why not send the rest of the order as soon as possible? In short, really disappointed first and last order at 1001maquettes (and too bad for the credit note...). A site I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

It doesn't seem normal to me that they take a week to prepare an order for an object and then add to that the week it takes to ship it. And I needed it for a gift.

Two weeks to receive the order. Little or no information during the process. There is no way of knowing if the product is in stock or not, so you buy blindly, since at no time do they inform you, I guess so that you don't refuse. There is also no tracking of the shipment by the courier company. In short, there is room for improvement at all levels.

Hello I made an initial purchase from you in complete confidence. On arrival I have a broken item, so I'm disappointed. I think that some fragile items should be more protected. Otherwise the rest is fine. Cord

There's no doubt that n1001 Maquettes offers a wide choice of products, from hardware models to various products (paints, glues, etc.). However, order processing could be improved. For example, for a payment accepted on 2305, I received a message the same day announcing that the order had been processed, then three messages on the 29th and 31st announcing that the order had still not been dispatched due to a product backlog. It was only on 0206 that I received the dispatch message. At no time was I told what the missing product was, what the expected delay was, nor was it suggested that I give it up or replace it with something else. In short, a beautiful catal

Great Stuff but SLOW Shipping Ordered decal sheets which I could not find anywhere else and which were indicated as in-stock. Confirmation e-mail stated 6-8 days delivery time. 14 days after placing order I received an e-mail ""updating"" me and stating items were shipped from Europe and would need to stop at US facility before finally being sent to me. Items arrived well protected in rigid cardboard flat mailer and in great condition after about 4 weeks. Keep in mind that at the same time I placed this order I placed some other orders with vendors in Australia and Singapore. I received those orders in about 1 week via direct international mail as flat packages (just like these decals). Denver (where I live) to Paris distance is 4900 miles. Denver to Sydney is 8300 miles and Denver to Singapore is 9000 miles - get the picture? I don't know why it should take so long to get a flat mailer from 1001, but they really need to work on improving their shipping times. That being said, if I needed something that they had I would be confident ordering from them in the future, but would be aware of the long wait time.

Veeeeery slowwwww...... Very impressive site with lots of goodies for the modeling enthusiast but... I registered and placed my first order for 4 decal sheets on April 1st. The prices all over the site were within the market range. But the postage charged (8.90€) was excessive even for registered mail for a 20 gr. envelope. All the items were marked as available and 3 of them had 5-6 day shipping time indicated. I paid thru Paypal on the same day. The next day I received an e-mail message that the order has been processed and that I will receive my order in 6-8 days. After ten (10) days (on April 11th) I received another e-mail saying that my order has been shipped!!! Because the shipment had not arrived on April 29th, I sent an e-mail asking for details and where do they ship from. I got an answer the next day saying that they ship from France and that surface mail (!!!) might take longer to arrive. On May 12th I wrote again to their customer service complaining about the long delay in their delivery and asking for an answer. I also opened a dispute in Paypal's resolution center. I got a message the next day saying that the envelope must be lost and that one of the decal sheets was no longer available. I was given the option to buy something else from the site and so I did. The new order was processed the next day (May 14th), I received an e-mail on May 19th that it will be shipped soon (!!!) and finally an e-mail on May 21st that it was shipped (more than a week after the new order was placed). The envelope arrived on May 27th which is within the normal range for an intra EU 1st class mail. Mind you the postage affixed was 1,35 € !!!! I have to point out that I trade over the net constantly and never had a problem with lost mail in over 600 transactions during the last 8 years or so. There is something definitely wrong with their very slow shipping and equally slow customer response service. Possibly the items sent from the EU are not in stock there and have to be shipped from elsewhere thus the one week between ordering and shipping. I cannot detect any malicious intent but I am skeptic about any future purchases from them......

I received the model I had ordered on time, but it was damaged. I returned it immediately, but only received a new copy after 5 weeks. In the meantime, when I called customer service, I was told that they couldn't tell me anything and that I had to write an e-mail ... In short, an after-sales service that's really not up to scratch and really not r

Despite an item being in stock and an advertisement indicating fast delivery, it still takes several days for the item to arrive. Even after the confirmation e-mail indicating that the parcel has been dispatched, it can take almost 2 weeks. For example, I ordered on April 29 and received a confirmation e-mail on April 30. On May 2 I received an e-mail saying that my order had been dispatched, but to date (May 11) I've received nothing... On the positive side, the item search system is well done, and there's a wealth of items on offer& the rare bird"". It's the shipping time that needs to be improved, especially since you're paying shipping costs for fast delivery.

Order well received but the delivery times are very long. 9 to 12 days announced for the economic I do not understand why the times are so long for national shipments. I received my order within 14 days. Unfortunately, one of the models had the box stamped at one corner, fortunately without any damage.

The last order I placed on the site did not arrive. Colissimo indicated that it had been returned due to an incomplete address. I sent a mail to 1001 maquettes explaining the problem and asking for the parcel to be sent back to me - giving my address - but I haven't heard anything back.
