Order placed with models supposedly in stock and marked shipment within 24 hours. I received it more than a few days later and it's not La Poste's fault. I've since found another site where prices are much lower.

Suggestion on packaging improvement. Communications were excellent. Shipping time was good. The quality of the item-decal set for an airliner-is very good. The decal set is very complete. The painting diagram is a plus. The set came inside a zip-lock bag. My only complaint and why I gave only four (4) stars is that the packaging could be improved: There is creasing damage to one part of the decals. I think this will still apply OK but time will tell. Not trusting to only a padded envelope but adding a piece of card stock inside the envelope would be a way to reduce possibilities of postal services transit damages.

My last two orders were very good both in quality and speed. But the previous order never arrived. I communicated it to 1001 maquetas but they never gave me any solution.

Good registration and dispatch times, but logistically too long for order preparation: from January 12 to 18 for a 2 kg parcel (4 pcs).

Model delivered promptly. Compared to the price, the content (spare parts, quality...) is average. The assembly manual is not very good. The assembly descriptions are incomplete and the few photos are of poor quality. There isn't enough wood to finish the deck formwork, even though I've kept offcuts to a strict minimum. In short, average value for money.

I placed my order on 07/01/2018 I placed my order on 07/01/2018, and it has not yet arrived. I got an email saying it had been processed, but when I check the website it says ""still processing"". Their phone number says open 9-5 weekdays, but I've now tried 5 times, and the UK number says its closed, and then a couple of times the same number has gone through to French answer machine. I've left voicemail and emailed with no response, and the web chat function on the website does not appear. I've found no way of contacting them, all I want is to know what the problem is and when my order will arrive!

A boat model ordered was finally unavailable, but I wasn't warned. So the model was changed. An accessory kit sent incomplete then completed 8 days later. Finally, an order placed on December 10 was settled on January 12, after several exchanges by e-mail and several phone calls on my part. Nevertheless, a commercial gesture was noted: delivery of qq products in addition to my initial order. A 1st purchasing experience that did not disappoint me.

receiving a model with only the instructions and decals but without the assembly parts is very disappointing.

I order the paints and everything works fine. Then I get an e-mail telling me that one of the paints is missing and they give me a credit note (not a refund!) I get another e-mail, the paint is back in stock and I can recommend it and use my credit note... I recommend it and then, surprise, I'm charged shipping again (7.99€), which is a lot of money for a can of paint (plus I can't find where to use the credit). The next day, I see that they've assembled the 2 orders, but they didn't take away the 2nd shipping charge. But the funniest thing was that I received my parcel without the famous missing paint. no explanation, but the person was very kind and re-sent the order, which I hope will arrive soon. To get it I placed another order and after reading and rereading the pages I finally found it, but I need to improve the system and make sure I find it ju

Moderately happy with my purchase which is for a gift. The same product offered at two prices with almost 10 euros difference but only the more expensive one I finally bought was available to receive before Epiphany. The packaging arrived a little damaged and even produced a dent in the box of the model so they should improve the quality of the cardboard used. Good general catalog of this type of products. It is possible that I will buy again but I would like them to resolve these deficiencies.

I ordered a shipment (120762) on 18122017. The delivery time they gave me was between the 22nd and 23rd, that is 45 days. We are at 28122017 and I have not received it nor have I received any notification. I did it adjusting to my work dates and now all my plans have been disrupted.

The delivery worked perfectly. I am very disappointed with the contents of the box - the ship itself. I would have expected more DIY work and fewer prefabricated stamped parts. Far too few details were shown on the Internet. But this is only in passing. The description (text) is more than poor and the pictures are inadequate. I have built many ship models but I have never experienced such a lack of transparency in the pictures and figures. And that for a lot of money. WHAT A SHAME!

The delivery time is a bit long and the shipping costs to Austria are very high. The goods are o.k.
