I am a new customer and this was my 1st order. As for satisfaction, well, I'm disappointed with the time taken between my order and the preparation of the parcel: 6 working days. Order placed on the morning of 1011 (01:00 am) and preparation and dispatch of the parcel on 1711. (I'm not counting Saturdays because I don't know if you work on Saturdays. If not, one more day) Worried on the morning of 17 I sent a better to ask if there was a particular concern ... and as luck would have it the same evening the package was sent. I have a request that customer service has not answered = Can you inform the customer by email when there is a supply problem with an item? I have read other comments and I see that the problem of speed in processing orders is recurrent. Côte positif' I will recommend your site because the choice is varied and of good quality, hoping that the shipping service will be more reactive. It's better to receive items before a birthday ....

The contacts, the orders and the help have been very satisfactory. The delivery system leaves something to be desired. I had to travel 30 kms to pick up my order at the relay point. Best regards Pau

Supply lead times too long...when the product is not in stock, the customer has no information and waits for his order. I don't think it's up to the customer to follow up, but up to you 1001 Maquettes to keep him informed of new deliveries.

Large and extensive range but unfortunately.... I had to wait almost a month for a letter (1 decal sheet). What's more, it didn't come in the form of a letter but in a parcel which I also had to collect from the post office. I have already mentioned the long delivery times several times. Regardless, this criticism is ignored. The delivery service is simply unprofessional.

115481 Placed on 11/01/2017 20:04:50 115481 Placed on 11/01/2017 20:04:50 As of this writing I am still waiting for this order to arrive. I realize 1001 Modelkits has no control of the postal system so technically I cannot hold them at fault for this large delay. However, after seeing many complaints about orders not being received at all or seriously delayed I would expect that 1001 Modelkits would make other arrangements to insure the best possible customer service. I believe most customers would pay an extra fee for some trackable shipping service that would hopefully avoid these types of situations. Postscript...the order arrived the afternoon that I posted this review. Thanks!

Dear customer, You should receive your order very soon. Unfortunately the delay is often quite long for letters as we ship from France. We are currently looking for other shipping options to ensure better tracking but keeping the costs as low as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. Don't hesitate to contact us again by the end of next week if there is still an issue. Best regards, The 1001Modelkits Team

I'm a bit disappointed, but the problem was solved fairly quickly. For example, regarding the stock on the website. I ordered an item which was available in stock but which was not dispatched within a few days as indicated. But I'd still recommend them, as the team did their utmost to sort it out, and many thanks for the wide choice of good quality models.

I placed the order on a Sunday in the evening. I selected ""prepayment"" as the payment method. On Tuesday afternoon, less than 48 hours after placing the order, I received an e-mail from the retailer with a payment reminder. With all due respect, I think it would be appropriate and fair if the retailer gave the customer a little more time to process the payment, even with prepayment. After all, the usual bank transit times must also be taken into account. In return, the retailer did not seem to be in a particular hurry to send the goods, especially when the money is already in his account. Although a delivery time of only a few days was stated, delivery took almost two weeks. Only a friendly reminder to deliver the goods now got things moving. The retailer then sent the goods by DHL parcel. However, the item I ordered was flat and fitted into an A-4 envelope without any problems. It could therefore also have been sent by maxi letter (with the option of registered mail). Firstly, this would have saved shipping costs and secondly, I wouldn't have had to sacrifice an entire day waiting for the parcel carrier. Unfortunately, I cannot yet provide any information about the item itself as the construction of the Bismark is not expected to take place until spring 2018. First the aircraft carrier ""Graf Zeppelin"" will be started.

I have been a customer for many years. On all orders I have had no delivery problems. Record delivery compared to other suppliers. But this time! There were a few hiccups that were rather embarrassing for me! To be rectified. Happy holidays to the whole team. I've just seen your reply to my comment. My order was placed on 3112017 and I received it on 14112017. In my invoice the product was supposed to be wrapped in gift paper. It was not! Reread all the emails I sent you and you'll see that the product I received on 6112017 is a poster that was in a parcel! Photos were taken of it and sent to your distr

I received the package on time and in good condition. The only downside is the price for some models, which is up to 50% more than some retailers (the A 400M on the site is 93€, while others offer it for less).

I think that accepting an order without having the product in stock, making the customer wait several months without warning him and waiting for him to phone (at his own expense in Paris) from Belgium to get an answer, which seems to me to be curious to say the least, is not acceptable. The least you can do is warn the customer as soon as the order is placed and let him know that he will have to wait etc... If I have understood correctly, I will receive my parcel this Monday!

Poor Order Fulfillment Process Order placed & paid with PayPal 10/3. No communication or delivert by 10/23, when I inquired only to find one item out of stock. Asked for refund to PayPal for that item, got a future sale voucher (fat chance) instead. Got that cleared up, they asked if I still wanted item that was in stock. Cancelled order in frustration, no credit to my PayPal to date, handed it to them for resolution. Customer Service people very nice, polite but company procedures hamper them resolving problems. Ordered from them once before with no issues two years ago, perhaps sales are now so good they can afford to kick a couple customers to the curb.

No comms from Vendor until PayPal intervened We did eventually receive the product we ordered. However at first this vendor took the money, sent us an invoice then.. Nothing. After a few days we contacted the vendor asking what was happening. No response. We contacted them again. No response. Finally we resorted to opening a PayPal complaint in order to get a refund. The response was then instantaneous. Multiple emails kept us informed up until the point the goods turned up.
