Order placed on 17042019. Worried about the time spent on 25042019 I decided to contact the website chat. So you need to know that for example: 4 copies available does not mean that there are 4 copies in stock but rather 4 copies available from the 1001 Maquettes supplier. The delay in delivery (non-preparation of the order) is that a model is in restocking (whereas on the site it is available in 2 copies) approximately 2 days later the parcel is prepared and dispatched. No compensation, no discount, no coupon ... in short, no commercial gesture. I'm a bit disappointed by the confusing way the site is managed. We'll see how it goes ... Further to your reply to my review: I'm not going back on the shipping time. But as soon as you validate your order"". For me, but I could be wrong, the validation of the order is dated 170419 (date of credit card collection) and therefore from 170419 to 020519 does not correspond to the 5 to 7 working days of shipping time as you pointed out to me. Best regards

P51 model purchased. Fast delivery BUT it was indicated on this box that the paints were supplied which is false. 4 paints supplied 2 missing including the main one and 1 which does not correspond to the model. Result: I'll have to go and buy the paints before I can assemble the model.

Response from 1001hobbies
Dear Sir, Thank you for your review. I do not understand however what you mean by ""half or more of the communication was not in English"". All the e-mails exchanged with you were in English as I just checked, since all of our customer service hosts are English speakers. You had chosen the eco delivery method, it is normal not to get any tracking number but just to be informed that the package was shipped away (on the same day of your order). For further informations about the delivery and shipping methods, please check the dedicated section in our FAQ available on the following link: https://1001maquetteshelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us Best regards, The 1001Modelkits' Customer Service.

Excessive shipping charges. Not clear that the shipment is made from France and therefore with an additional fee of Euro 397 (which adds up to 1194 shipping) in an amount of 24 euros. As for the goods all perfect.

Well you found what you were looking for that is very good for me as a customer and good prices the downside is that you have to wait for my understanding a long time to receive orders but they arrive which is important. No hurry.

I received a bubble envelope with all the products I ordered quickly, but the problem is that the Italeri brush was not sufficiently protected and therefore received broken. Too bad I don't think I'll be ordering from you again as the packaging is not up to standard.

Nothing to say about my order placed on a Thursday and received by colissimo the following Monday. In general, I'd rather rate the 1001 Maquettes site: the advantage of this site is that it offers an absolutely plethoric catalog! Quite simply, are you looking for a particular model? A rare part? A special decal sheet... In short, there's a good chance you'll find it! The problem is that this advantage comes at a high price, which is why I only go to 1001 Maquettes as a last resort when I can't find what I'm looking for elsewhere. Su""classiques"" (like Airfix Revell Tamiya Academy etc...) the prices are well above the competition. On the other hand, navigation on the site is a bit messy, and among the abundance of references it's sometimes rather difficult to sort out. And when you're faced with a product from a Czech brand (for example) that's unknown to the general public, you feel a bit sick to your stomach before clicking""Add to Cart""...

Out of stock, overpriced late postage. Ordered 17 packs of card dividers in various colours, left 4 packs out as stated out of stock on site. A while after ordering was notified they had to get stock in, even though it stated in-stock and i refreshed up until purchasing, and you cannot purchase if out of stock. Items came 2 1/2 weeks later in oversized box, with an invoice thats in French. Postage was way overpriced at over £7. Product was as described, which is the only plus.
Response from 1001hobbies
Dear Andrew Harris, Your package's preparation started on the 4th of March, less than 48h after you did your order. In order to minimise the shipment's costs, we wait till all of your products are available and send them at once. You had chosen the standard shipment method, since we send our products from France, it is normal for it to take some time. The delay that occurred with your package delivery is not in our reach, but depends on the shipment company in your country (so in your case, the UK). Best regards, 1001Modelkits' customer service

Discrepancy of information between site (material available immediately) and actual inventory situation (material available in days) resulting in incorrect communication about material delivery. Information ""revisable"" regarding tracking of shipment and consequent status of material. The survey request arrived that not even the material had left and exchange of several communications to get information and tidbit final material delivered and from the site communication that the package had left. To you the appropriate comments. Check Vs site where you say ""In stock shipments within 24 hours"" and review your response. Only after my info request emails you wrote to me that the shipment would start upon receipt of the material ""present"" but not ""present"".

I have been waiting for my parcel for 10 days now and the delivery time was stated as 5-7 days. In addition, the shipment tracking does not work. Too bad. Hope it arrives soon. 25.3.2019 Colors have arrived one color had run out.

The description of a model was wrong. The TU114 model could not be built at all, only another version could be added. The clarification of the complaint was very difficult. The hotline could not speak German on 3 calls.
