I ordered a yellow Fleischmann Shell wagon after requesting confirmation of availability by email specifying the color and marking of the wagon - confirmation of ""dispo"" - Received a silver wagon with no relation to the one ordered - Nothing to do to obtain a refund n of the purchase - Customer service only there to not answer Absolutely avoid this seller The 2304 - Following response from 1001 maquettes indeed they offered to return the wagon I c""At your expense and with file opening fee of 3 Euros"" This is how 1001 maquettes assumes its errors! Le 3004 - Following 1001 Maquettes' last message, I contacted customer service again, who agreed, after discussions, to a full refund of the purchase price and reimbursement of the cost of returning the non-compliant item. So as far as I'm concerned, the dispute is over. I'd just like to point out that the purchase took place on March 21. So if I keep just one star for the review (very bad first experience, but I'd like to point out that Customer Service has always been very courteous on the phone), I'm withdrawing the ""A FUIR - dishonest store"" to say ""You must insist that they take responsibility for their shipping error"".

I had booked express delivery to receive the parcel within the week. I didn't hear from him for the whole week, and it was only the following week that I received an e-mail telling me that my parcel was on its way. So I received it well after the 4 to 6 days I'd expected when ordering. I sent an e-mail before receiving it to find out why it was late and why I had received duplicate e-mails with errors in the automatic e-mails (one sentence did not appear correctly). I was waiting for an explanation. I received a few lines of reply with no apology, no explanation and, above all, no answers to my questions. So I sent another e-mail and I'm still waiting for an answer. This company doesn't manage after-sales service and customer relations at all. I'm very disappointed. I'd read some good comments, especially about deliveries, but apparently not everyone is on the same page.

Virtually unprotected packaging (a small piece of crumpled kraft paper insufficient to protect the miniature during transport. On unpacking, I see that the car's windscreen is broken. I wrote to 1001 maquettes...who merely offered me free delivery on my next order..... even though this was a standard commercial offer (I had already received an e-mail to this effect before delivery!). In short, deplorable service. And the customer service email was not signed and had no telephone number. TO BE AVOIDED

If I hadn't been threatened with a ""hand courante"" for not respecting the purchase contract for a model and a sheet of ordinary decals, I'm sure that three yes three months after the order I'd still be waiting for my pack of 1001 Maquettes. So you'll understand that from now on I'm not taking this site very seriously, unlike other English, German, Polish or Czech sites, which are much more efficient.

I strongly advise against this site. After placing an order, everything went wrong: misleading communications, product delivered 7 days late in a damaged parcel. No response to my emails and phone calls. Basically my worst e-commerce experience in 10 years. I don't recommend si

Poor, Slow Service, Incomplete Order Many item not in-stock despite web order saying they were in stock ready to ship. For items not in stock, I was issued a ""credit memo"" to be used on next order without my permission. I can't imagine ever ordering again so I am now fighting for a refund. This was the poorest experience I have had ordering on the internet in 15 years.

They pretend to be a company based in Germany. Hotline only in French. Extremely long delivery times or goods do not arrive at all. Request for a refund of the purchase price is ignored.

Dear sir, I am sorry, it seems that we inverted the items with another customer: I will send you in a separate email the address of the other customer where you can send the wrong items: he will send you the correct item. Nick Customer service

8 weeks from purchase to delivery My credit card was charged 29Dec12, and my order arrived 10Feb13. 1001modelkits claimed a delay in their supply chain, but all I ordered was 15 1oz Tamiya paint jars. I will never order from them again.

I placed an order for two items after a reminder 10 days later and still had not received the parcel. After the 3rd message, I was told that one item was not available in the color I had ordered. Having accepted, I received my parcel but I only had one article out of two. I was told that they didn't know when it would be available. I was therefore charged on the date of my order and to this day there is still no sign of life from customer service. I strongly advise against ordering

After several orders for products supposedly""available"" it turns out that on 1001maquettes these products are not in stock! This is regrettable, and in the end delays are lengthened. Shipping costs are exorbitant! Paying €890 plus shipping to receive a bubble envelope with your products in it is, in my opinion, taking the piss!

Item was delivered well after it was promised and horrible customer service I ordered a model to be delivered for the holidays, and it ended up being delivered a couple of weeks late. Attempted to contact the seller several times without response. Do not recommend.

Unreliable and Unavailable 1001models is a horrible company that does not return e-mails or voice mails for weeks. They listed a model on their site with no mention that it was unavailable, then they e-mailed me it would ship in a few days, when in truth it was actually out of stock. After numerous e-mails and voice mails I finally got a note stating it was out of stock. This company is horrible do not do business with them. Oh and after I canceled this model order not once but twice they still shipped it 2 weeks later.

I won't do business with them again! I made an online purchase. I was under the impression it was being shipped from overseas. I was charged excessive shipping fees (more than the item cost). It was shipped from within the states. It arrived broken. I emailed them with my concerns and asked for a reply. Never received a reply!

I ordered a motorcycle model and was really disappointed. When I ordered, the product information was inaccurate (product to be assembled with glue as well as painted). When I received it, I realized that the bike had to be assembled and was already painted..... In addition, the delivery times were not respected, so I offered the model very late, which caused me a lot of inconvenience... I'm absolutely unhappy with my order and am still waiting for a reply from customer service regarding the refund.

If I order parts on the website and I have to pay in advance as a new customer and then only find out after several inquiries that the parts are not available at the moment, then I wonder if they couldn't have told me that before I paid in advance!
