Very large choice of models and accessories. But because there is always a but delivery times are too long several orders already placed and do not be in a hurry to receive his order Last order placed April 4 received April 17 and more a product error.

1001 maquettes makes a mistake in my order and I report it. They ask me to send back the defective item at my expense and offer me free shipping on my next order?! Too nice guys! You're bordering on complete amateurism! I'm done with them

Hello Sir and Madam, I'm writing to inform you that my order has arrived a second time in poor condition. The order concerned flat paint for copper and white decals. When I placed my first order for copper decal paint, it arrived crumpled, so I sent you a message to let you know so that my next order wouldn't arrive in the same condition. Unfortunately, it arrived crumpled again.

Order received 1 MONTH after payment. Computer problem when placing the order but parcel sent anyway as an economy parcel. 1001 maquettes could have made up for this by sending a parcel.

I have been disapointed so far because I received the wrong order and have had no response from customer service to date... The processing of my order seemed to be OK. I received timely updates regarding when the products would be received for shipping. I also received a notice when the order was being shipped. I received a shipment in 2 to 3 days as was stated. However, I received the incorrect shipment. My order #14439 was not what I received. I received order #14539 which is not mine. I have sent 2 e-mails to customer service ([email protected]) and have had no response yet. The Website states that Customer Service is important to them. I have seen no evidence to date. A customer service telephone number for English speaking customers would be helpful. I am awaiting a response regarding what to do with the incorrect shipment I received and what is the status of my order for which payment was accepted.

Very satisfied with the products ordered. On the other hand very disappointed with your site for the management of addresses (billing and delivery) Nothing is respected even after calling your sales department. A piece of advice: improve your site for delivery and everything will be fine.

Received torn packaging surrounded by tape ""La Poste"" for the package to hold and a callage really done in a hurry that did not allow the model to arrive unscathed.

I ordered the model "Halberstadt"" on December 12th and received confirmation that it would be delivered within 6 to 9 days. All orders placed before December 14 should reach their destination before Christmas. However, the expected shipment did not arrive until December 28. We were already back from our Christmas visit to our grandfather, who was very excited about the model airplane with the name of his home town. Now I have to send the gift to him later, so it will be delayed again and he will need help to collect it from the post office. I will not be entrusting any more gift requests to this mail order company.

disappointed the pedestal arrived broken which led to scratches on the bike as it was carried around in the packaging (poorly protected in the box with just a piece of paper it would deserve sageax chips or something) each time it was handled. i'll have to do it again.

I placed an order and my payment was accepted on November 24. Today is December 12 and I have just received half of my order from another customer for whom the product was not intended. So I'm missing 1 product out of two. So I'm disappointed! I'm going to place a new order at the beginning of January where I need various products, tools, brushes, paints and models. I hope to have better luck as I find your site very attractive and clearly presented. No hard feelings, I'm still here and hope to become a customer.

You had better be young when you order because you will be a lot older when you receive your package. Slow, slower, much slower, full speed to the rear, stop.

I thought I had ordered 2 models because your site is supposed to sell models (given its name). These purchases were gifts for 2 children. For one there was no problem, it was a model boat to be designed. For the other, I received a miniature motorcycle on a stand that had absolutely nothing to do with a model. So I'm going to have to buy something else because I'm not going to send it back to you, I don't have time for that. I will no longer recommend anything on your site. Please unsubscribe me to your newslatters if this has not yet been done.

I wanted to buy a miniature car on the site, but as a result I ended up with a remote-controlled car, which was not specified in the product description. So disappointed I didn't send the product back because the shipping costs would have been at my expense.

i'm quite disappointed because i'd read some very good reviews of this store. but i'm still waiting for my parcel even though my purchase was made more than 15 days ago. what's more, one of the items won't be delivered even though it was marked available when i ordered it and reimbursed with a voucher, which means i'm obliged to recommend it to them even though it wasn't supposed to be...! i'm waiting to receive my purchase so i can really make up my mind, but for the moment it's as good as new!

10 days from receipt of payment to receipt of parcel by paying for express delivery. That's 5 to 6 days longer than the competition. What's more, with the piracy problem, I lost a morning and then an afternoon dealing with the police and my bank, with 10 days without a bank card and about fifteen direct debits for a loss of 2000 euros. The only good news is that the company has warned the customers of

Credit card hacked on first order (with all the hassle that entails) order delivered out of time part missing from box. This problem was reported to the site, which offered no solution as it did not reply to the customer. Despite all these inconveniences, no commercial gesture was made to appease and retain the customer....une leçon

The store application is rather inconvenient to use. Email communication is exclusively geared towards creating a customer account - even though it is possible to order as a guest without further registration.

First order via simple Decals was a disaster. Delivery took place 3 weeks after the seller's shipping confirmation but also only with the involvement of PayPal conflict resolution. Not recommendable!

My experience takes place in 2 acts. In December 2011, I ordered various items, all of which were available. On receipt of the parcel, a part is missing. I asked for a refund, but the store refused on the grounds that I was using a credit card. I was then given a credit note for the amount of the part (22 euros from which I would have to subtract the shipping costs, of course). The model was also available and I asked for it to be sent within 48 hours (this is obviously more expensive than normal shipping). It's nothing to write home about, but it's still a pain. There are a number of French and foreign sites that are much more reliable when it comes to ve
