Upset...disappointed. I am very upset. When I ordered, the website said delivery by Dec 23rd. I ordered a gift on December 9th! I still have not received it and it is now Dec 24th. It was a sentimental gift from the kids to their father. The website should have said Christmas delivery not guaranteed instead it said 'in stock, delivered by Dec 23rd.' I would have ordered it somewhere else. Poor customer service!

Very disappointed!!! Package (shipped within 24 hr ???) arrived after an exchange of emails more than 10 days later !!! But that only joins the multiple evaluations in the same direction! I don't think I'll be ordering anything there again... Perhaps the traditional French b..... has something to do with it? 15 and

Disappointed Hello, I ordered a 1/18 scale diecast (Signature) Studebaker Avanti. It took the better part of three week's to go from France to the United States (Wisconsin) When the carrier gave me the box I could hear a rattling noise inside, when I took the window box out I could see parts on the bottom of the box The complete front suspension was sheered off the car, both front wheels, there related spindles, and the tie rod. Now decision time, go thru all the B.S. to send it back, and then wait another month , or fix it my self. So I took the car apart and make a custom front suspension, it took me six hours. (This is what caused the destruction,) they must of packed the window box on a Friday night. They simply put the window box inside a bigger box with nothing to protect it. no bubble wrap, no foam peanuts. not even the local rag, no fragile tape on the outside (NOTHING) no wonder it was so severely damaged. I was looking forward to working with a company in France, but frankly I couldn't afford it.

After 15 days of waiting, I still haven't received my parcel. The distributor tells me that the Mondial Relais sites are unavailable one after the other. When will I receive my necklace?

Erg vervelende ervaring. Erg vervelende ervaring. Op de pagina van de producten stond ""Binnen 24 uur verzonden"". Het duurde uiteindelijk 2 weken voordat het eindelijk was verstuurd. Waar ik er zelf achteraan moest bellen en dan pas informatie kreeg. De eerste keer zeiden ze dat het nog diezelfde week werd verzonden. Dan was uiteindelijk niet zo. Pas na een tweede keer bellen werd het eindelijk verzonden. Het bleek een Franse klantenservice te zijn, zonder dat dit ergens vermeld staat. De persoon aan de telefoon was erg slecht te verstaan en ook zeer onvriendelijk. Hij onderbrak mij meerdere malen en zodra ik begon over ontevreden zijn probeerde hij het gesprek zo snel mogelijk af te kappen. Het product was ook nog eens beschadigd bij afleveren. Dit heb ik uiteindelijk zelf maar gerepareerd omdat ik geen zin heb om met deze mensen zaken te doen. Kortom. Hier niet bestellen!

I ordered an etching film on 14.10.2017 and have not received it to date on 16.12.2017 despite repeated e-mail contact. Supposedly sent then not available again. The announced refund has not been made to date either. For me, 1001 modellbau is a completely incompetent model making supplier with catastrophic customer service. - A.Stöbe Gotha

Purchased on 10/16/17 Super Mario Bros. Puzzle Ground Pound Available delivery 2-4days. Called 1 week around Delivery within a week sorry. Bad German French accent.2 weeks around called delivery within a week sorry. so it went on for 6 weeks. Parcel came from France via the Netherlands. I only received false tracking numbers and none for DHL. The same gentleman with the French accent was always difficult to understand, not least because of his loudness. alternative numbers or employees were not available. He was quiet and relatively friendly but not much help. Constantly saying ""delivery will definitely come within a week"" in the hope that it will be right at some point doesn't help. luckily we had bought other birthday presents elsewhere. Even the Chinese would have been quicker and for half the money. Juice store never again!!!!!

Never Again Never Again Dispatching and shipping takes far too long. I ordered 5 weeks ago and still have got nothing. No reaction when complaining by mail. Horrible prices: Most of the items are nearly priced double compared to competitors like Hannants. Not acceptable. I only ordered because I found this special kit anywhere else.

Very bad experience with this site. stock not updated. paint order placed with them with stock available listed on the site. but two weeks later i have to call them to be told that my order is not going to be shipped because of 3 references that are on order... no initiative on their part (delayed shipment, commercial gesture...) I wouldn't recommend them

Please spare me such mails I don't want to have anything more to do with this miserly company. Lousy business dealings I bought a model the first package without content but customs costs the second package with content but again customs costs. Who will reimburse me - because of this company - for my first customs costs?

First got response ""you should receive your product soon"". After asking again a week later, for the first time somebody would check if the shipment might have been lost (?!?!?!?)

Last 12122016 I placed an order that was charged to my account on 14122016. Not receiving the product and not having information on the status of the order I made several calls in which an answering machine answered indicating to send an email which I did after three emails sent to which no one has responded on 06012017 13012017 and 24012017 I find that as of the date of sending this notice no one has contacted me to tell me the status of the order or responded to my request for a refund of the amount paid. I request a refund of the amount paid (14508€) to the credit card I used to place the order.
