Order not received I placed an order around December 3rd and as of December 27th I've not received my order. I looked into the way your company sent your orders and I'm not sure how you sent my order is from the USA or did it ship from over seas? Received my order today December 29th ! It was sent to the wrong address and it's on telling how long it took for them to send it back to the post office. The products look great look forward to doing business in the future.

Dear customer, We ship from France, our warehouse is in Normandy. Unfortunately the shipping delays by letter is sometimes quite long, we apologize for the inconvenience. Best regards, The 1001Modelkits Team

My opinion is mixed. they seemed very professional until I received my parcel of 8 paints with a completely dry pot of matt white inside. it wasn't even possible to stick the tip of a knife into it, so to speak. I contacted them by chat and the person suggested 2 times that I use solvent to dilute it!!!!! but it's as hard as a rock, it won't do any good to dilute it!!!!!! And when I ask for an exchange, no reply. I really wonder if he knows the paints he's selling. In short, you shouldn't order everything from them, especially with a commercial return like this that doesn't exist if you have a penny to your name.

The product is of high quality, but it's unacceptable to charge for such poor gift-wrapping. It looks like a 5-year-old has wrapped it.

Unfortunately, I can't rate the product as I gave it away. And it would be far too early to rate it. The delivery time was quite long at around three weeks. The money was transferred on 30.11.17 when I ordered it. The package arrived on 15.12.17. I don't know what happened between 30.11 and 11.12 when the package was announced but at least it was two weeks. Sorry.

The model ordered is beautiful ... BUT THE DELIVERY SERVICE was long and not optimal: I followed the route from France to Italy and saw that the package traveled in France in as many as 4 destinations ... until it arrived in Normandy then in Bergamo in Milan and finally in my city. So very long delivery time ...

Products ok and packaging ok but on a suggestion level maybe it would be worth stating more realistic delivery time ando packaging. It took more than 3 days for a prompt delivery model. I placed the order on December 8 to receive it on the 20th. It seems a tad excessive as a timeline. On a general level, however, I am satisfied.

The items ordered arrived in perfect condition. On the other hand, the website contains errors and the explanations are inadequate. The biggest problem is the delivery time. The waiting time is far too long.

Some people are just unlucky.... For me, an order that was supposed to arrive within the week (for a birthday) was blocked because an accessory was missing...! After 15 to 20 calls and emails over 4 weeks, each time the parcel was supposed to leave the next day... I finally received it yesterday 1512. But with one detail missing... all that's missing are the glue and the paints that were ordered, paid for and not delivered !!!!!! I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for it by giving the gift a month after the Christmas date. I'm not

Quality products wide choice however you should put the actual delivery time. I am still waiting for a paint order placed 8 days ago with only available products and 24 hour delivery as advertised. Sincerely jf. Small error on your part, my order was delivered to the post office on December 21. I received it on December 22 because a reference was missing. That's why you gave me a credit note by removing the missing reference at my request.

For my first order, I'm satisfied with the equipment I bought. The only complaint I have is that you deliver within 24 hours, but I waited 8 days and sent a complaint by e-mail. My second complaint is that the labels on your products are all in Japanese, so there's no explanation of how to use them. Lastly, you practically force me to place a €59 order to benefit from free delivery. Why not offer a small package price, for example: paint brushes. So three points for improvement, but I

Very long shipping time (more than 3 weeks) with no information about the reason (missing product) and no alternative proposed... Refund in the form of a credit note, but not including shipping costs for a new order... Several messages informing of product availability, but a site that refuses orders for a product considered to be out of stock... An efficient hotline that did its utmost to find a solution to this problem.

When ordering When ordering, the image was misleading as it showed two bottles of Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner side by side for no other reason it seems than to suggest that you would get two for the price. Of course only one item arrived and when calculating postage and packing then the item was quite expensive.
