False advertising, slow shipping, lack of communication on order status. I placed my order on May 23, 2015. It took them almost two weeks to let me know that one of my model kits was not in stock when on their website it showed available. It has been two weeks since then and I still have no order or any information on what the status of my order is. They have ignored numerous messages and phone calls concerning the status of my order. Bad customer service in my opinion, especially since I made a big order. This day and age taking a month to ""process"" an order is unacceptable. Taking a customer's money instantly and making them wait a month or more for their order to arrive is ""bad business"". Also the customer service telephone voice menu is in French not English and French. Not helpful to United States customers. They have a great website and seem to have a great selection of model kits. Lots of potential killed by bad customer service. Hopefully they will wake up and smell the coffee.(at least long enough to answer their phone) Another week has gone by and finally they have made contact with me.(Only because I posted a bad review in my opinion.) They claimed my order had issues in customs and that these issues had been resolved and my order would be shipped in another week. A week went by and I had heard nothing so I sent customer service an email about the status of my order. They claimed one of the items had been lost in shipment and of course it was no longer available. They did offer me another voucher for the price of the product. However a voucher is worthless if the company does not have the ability to process and ship a simple order. I have zero confidence right now that this company is competent enough to even handle another order. I want a full refund or I will take legal action against this ""scam"" of a company. Avoid this company. It is now almost July and I still have heard nothing about my order and have yet to receive any goods that I have ordered. Just a small piece of advice 1001 model kits: On a multiple item order if there is an item on someone's order that you do not have in stock (that you said you did have) send the items that you do have and don't hold THE ENTIRE order for weeks at a time. It would be faster for me to sail across the Atlantic and pick up the items from their warehouse in France! Pick up your phone! Communicate with your customers! Do not take their money unless you have rendered them a service.

Poor: only received half of my order! I emailed you guys on Sat so I thought I would hear back from you today but not yet. They shipped me a 1/72 scale Fairey Swordfish instead of a 1/48 scale B-17G Flying Fortress. I assume that you guys will make the order correct but I need to know what to do with the extra model. Thanks

On 03.01.2015 I placed an order on this site with PayPal payment. After 2 days they wrote to me: ""Your order is ready you can access the shipping tracking"". At the time I was surprised because the item had a delivery expectation of 10-12 business days. I thought it was a mistake so I waited a month without receiving the material before asking for clarification. They replied that they would do their best to ship the package as soon as possible (but wasn't it ready a month earlier?). After 2 months after the order and upon my request for explanation they informed me that the material was unfortunately not available that they were canceling the order and would credit my payment back. After 20 days of absolute silence I sent an email to solicit a refund but they did not respond. I waited another 15 days another reminder email but again no response. Another month passes and we are at 12.05.2015 another email from me and as usual they do not respond. As of today 03.06.2015 after 5 months after payment and almost 3 months after order cancellation they still have not refunded me. Finally also the hoax: on the site appears as available the item I had ordered. From what I have more above I leave to those who read me any assessment of the seriousness correctness and professionalism of those responsible for this site.

I placed an order for a material that was in stock according to the web, I made the payment, they confirmed the order and charged my card. And oh surprise a week after confirming the order and charging the card they tell me that they do not have the material. I do not think I will buy again in a store that first charges and then checks if they can fulfill the orders. I have been offered a lot of solutions that I expect to buy something else that they give me a voucher and ultimately a refund. I hope that at the time of reimbursement they will be in as much of a hurry to collect. Fernando M

It takes a lot of nerve to ask for an opinion on a material that has NOT yet been received, I think you have a problem. I will NEVER advise anyone to buy your models.

Disappointment I was very disappointed with my experience. First, I waited several weeks before I was told they could not fulfill my order, but I was not told what was not being filled. Then I only ended up receiving four of twelve items I ordered. Store credit given but a lot of time wasted waiting to do a project that I was trying to do. I will look elsewhere next time.

I have received your various emails to the effect that my order had been taken into consideration and that the parcel had left, but to date nothing has happened. It was the Tyrrell I was intending to give as a birthday present on March 4, so I hope that the situation will be regularized.

Order placed on December 17 and to date nothing received!!! First I'm told the item is unavailable, then I'm told my order will be shipped, but I'm still waiting... I ask them for a refund but they're still nowhere to be found. On the other hand, when it comes to sending out promotional e-mails, they're pretty good at sending out almost one per month.

Delivery times of the type""shipped in 2"" are not reliable since in my case this turned into 1 week.... The reason given by 1001Maquette was that their supplier had made a mistake (although I had only ordered in-stock items). 1001Maquette's shipping department doesn't seem to be reactive at all.
