Order placed on 1610. Delivery estimated between 1710 and 2010 according to the site. Some of the items in my order were mentioned as having a 10 to 12 day lead time. Today is 111, a public holiday, but the 12 working days have passed and despite 2 reminders by e-mail, no response. No news of the order. Good choice of products but not serious about delivery times and customer information. And from reading the various reviews, I'm far from being a good customer.

Hello I ordered a Jouef starter set on this site and now some parts are missing from the box. I contacted them and found young people who know absolutely nothing about model railroading. I don't think I'd recommend this site to anyone or that I'd order it myself.

Of the two orders I have placed on this site have been delayed at least one week longer than I had chosen with the shipping costs.

Not a UK Company-'1001 Modelkits' I was furious that they gave the impression you were ordering from the UK when I fact they are located in France. After almost a week, I got an email to say ""your order is being processed"" say what?! How hard is it to go pick 2 cans of spray varnish and pack them? After another week my item arrived. Why would I wait 2 weeks for an order from France, when I can buy exactly the same product WITHIN the UK. Misleading.

A Complaint Not a good transaction ......after two weeks the order had not even exited the 1001 facility, much less being close the being delivered. Four days ago I received a an email telling me it has been shipped and that it would be delivered shortly. (????) I would be receiving another email with a tracking #......nothing yet. This process has been far too long, especially at a the $19.95 shipping cost. Cannot give any +++ whatsoever concerning this transaction.

Merchandice was ordered and charged to my MC account 22 days ago and there has been no follow up It is stuck in Paris France with no movement I will never order from this company again. I've dealt with many online companies, but never have had to wait this long for my order. I'm not even sure I'll ever get this order and plan to send a letter to Capital One stating that I never received the merchandise ordered and want my money credited to my MC account. I'm afraid I have been ripped off for the first time ordering online.

From order to delivery takes way too long! This is my second order with 1001 Modelkits, and again the time from the confirmation to the actual delivery is unbelievably long. My most recent order was made on June 11 and as of this review (July 6) I still DO NOT HAVE IT! It is just a mask for a canopy on a 1:48 scale plane, and yet it cannot be delivered quicker than one month. That is just way too long. My first order was so long in being shipped and delivered that I actually had to reorder the item through another distributor and got it within a few days. Finally my original order arrived, and now I don't need it any longer. Sorry, but something has to be done about processing and shipping orders much faster.

The product I purchased was in stock. It took them a long time to tell me that they didn't have it, and they took a long time to tell me that they were sending it to me. On June 8 I received an email saying that they were sending it to me and I am still waiting for it.

In my order, a model included paint pots, one of which was leaking ... the result is obviously visible, the box containing the pots being transparent. Alas, not sending a faulty product is obviously not an objective. It's all the more annoying because it's impossible to make a simple complaint via your order history in my account.

I am very unhappy with delivery time. I ordered a sheet of decals for an older 1:48 scale B-17 kit on 2/10/16. The kit was 90% complete but the kit decals were too old. On 2/18/16 I sent a message requesting status and saying that if the decal sheet was not in stock I would select a different one. On 2/19/16 I received an email saying it shipped and they would notify me of a tracking number. It is now 3/2/16 and I have not received a tracking number or the decals. This is not acceptable and I will know better in the future not to order from 1001 models.

This is the first time I've placed an order with you and after 14 days it hasn't arrived. I can't phone you and the person at the chat desk told me to wait.
