I can almost copy and paste a recent negative review. I ordered a model on the site for a birthday. The order was placed on November 07, 2015, and the item was in stock and therefore available within 8 days. To date, December 07, 2015, nothing has happened: I've sent multiple emails and called several times, and the answer has always been that the item is in transit (I suppose it's been on a snail's back for 1 month), with no really valid explanation and a thousand excuses: there was an inventory holiday, a very nice offer to send it to me by Colissimo, but the Colissimo has never arrived ... During all this time, and even today, the article is noted as available on the site. The amount of the order was immediately debited: 203 euros I deduce that this site is not reliable since it is a review already written by other people. In the meantime, I had to order another m""rue des maquette"" In short, I'm very disappointed by this site! and yet I was accommodating and patient.

Very bad judgment. More than a month after ordering, I have not received anything. My emailed requests have never been answered. Apparently the package was returned to the sender for incomplete addresses. I, however, provided them with the accurate address.

I get these notices about my shipment but my package has not arrived !!!!!!! Where is my package ?????????????????????????????

They have not met the delivery deadlines and the worst thing is that they do not give any visibility on the status of the order. After sending 2 written messages, one through their website and another by email and after calling several times to the 2 phone numbers they have and not getting through to anyone, I have decided to cancel my order and request my money back. Very dissatisfied

I get these notices about my shipment but my package has not arrived !!!!!!! Where is my package ?????????????????????????????

I ordered a 124 scale car a Jaguar E type from Hellerthe order was placed on November 4, 2015 expected time for delivery 79 working days to date December 2, 2015 I have still not received anything. On November 30 I forwarded an email with inquiries about my order which they were careful not to respond to. This is the first time I purchased from them but I think it will also be the last. Last year I ordered a kit from a store in Hong Kong23 days later I had the box at home.........si but Hong Kong is on the other side of the earth!!!!

Better chance of seeing pigs fly than seeing your order. I placed an order on Oct. 22, 2015 for my elderly grandfather. As of November 29, 2015 I have not received my package or any response from the company into the whereabouts of the package. In fact, my order is still listed as being processed. Like many of their other customers, I think I have fallen victim to a scam where they say the item is in stock, but it actually isn't. My poor grandfather is very irritated. At this point I just want my money back so my grandfather will get off my back and I can order the product somewhere else. I have sent 3 emails, 2 where sent today. Their excellent customer service is a sham. Customer service is only available 2 hours a day in an unknown timezone if you speak French.

After 9 working days they still have not shipped the package despite the fact that from email received from them the package was ready the day after payment. Sent 3 emails to ask for explanation and they always replied with the usual pre-packaged email: Dear Customer Please rest assured that we do our best to provide our customers with prompt delivery. You will receive a tracking number as soon as the package is sent. Cordially Customer Service 1001models What a shame!!!!! In retort to what you wrote below I am sorry to contradict you but on your site it clearly states that the package would arrive within 7-9 business days I even took the screenshot of the page. Also you cannot write that the order was prepared as per. you wrote on 1611 if it is not true since you wrote me today that you are still waiting for the item. Dear Customer Your order code has been prepared. You can access the tracking of your shipment and download the invoice by clicking on ""Order archive"" under ""my account"" on our website. Sincerely

We ordered a model on the site for our daughter's birthday. The order was placed in 2009 and the article is in stock and therefore available within 8 days. To date, 2211, nothing has been received and we have sent several emails because it is impossible to get in touch with a physical person. During all this time, and even today, the item is noted as available on the site. We finally asked for a refund, which I hope will take less than two months, because of course the amount of the order was immediately debited. I deduce from this that the commercial policy is to attract the""super promo"" and never to send the products. In short, if you want to be sure of getting your items for Christmas, AVOID or aim for December 201.

this sales site sucks

My order was placed on November 1st, today is the 16th and I still haven't received anything. Apart from a gesture from 1001 maquettes that might make me change my mind, I will never order from them again.

They charge you the shipping costs to send it to you urgently and you arrive 2 weeks later you make the claim.y.ni caso!!!! The merchandise also arrives in poor condition a fraud!

I have only made one purchase but have not had a good experience. I ordered the package by express delivery 2 or 3 days ago and it still hasn't arrived for a week. It was to make a gift and the date has already passed.

poor customer service Like so many of the other reviewers, I placed an order on 6/20/15, my order was suppose to ship between 8/7 & 10/7, I have not received my order, my status also has not changed. I've sent emails and received no response, tried the phone number, which has an amazingly short 2 hour window to call, but then I don't speak French so it's useless. This has to be the worse customer service I have ever experienced.

No contact. No return call or email. No shipping or tracking info. I placed an order on 10-1-15 and received an email with the corresponding reference number. Enclosed in this email was the date of delivery being between 10-16-15 and 10-20-15. I also paid an upgraded shipping method so a tracking number would be supplied (UPS). However, no tracking number has ever been provided. My payment was processed and completed on 10-1-15 according to the order status on my account. I have patiently waited till today 10-20-15 which is the last day of promised delivery, but no delivery was made. For the last 3 days I have called the contact number which I only get a French answering service and no return call. I have emailed twice with no response, in an attempt to acquire a tracking number or some form of shipping info to conform some sort of progress is being made. I have also called the U.S. contact for returns in Centerton, AR with no success either. My order status has reflected the same message ""order being processed"" for 3 weeks now including after the promised delivery time has expired. If some sort of contact or explanation is not reciprocated, in the next day or so, I will be reporting this practice of customer neglect, and forwarding a copy of all correspondence to my attorney.

Your material is decent but unfortunately it is not what I was looking for because I needed """""SAMURAI OF PLASTIC """""&colorful""" AND AT LEAST 10 CM""""" Unfortunately I misinterpreted your catalog and no complaints to you. If you have PLASTIC COLORED Samurai OF 10 cm. I will be happy possibly to proceed with a new order. Regards. Mauro Santinelli

Order placed on 04 october in theory it left on 091015. on 161015 still nothing received. That's a bit much for a supposed delivery time of 4 to 7 days! On the phone, they promise tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, but offer no compensation or solution. I think the store's policy is to charge shipping costs! which isn't right because the order follows the same channels. It's a way of making a bit more profit on the backs of customers. I don't recommend taking the free shipping option. Disappointed

Not only are the delivery times not respected and the goods still not received. After-sales service has still not replied to us after two days. And on an order of €5117, we have been charged €53.56 at the bank, neither seen nor known.

... but too long to explain. I wanted to trust them despite the bad reviews below. In the end, they were completely justified. The big problem is with the order preparation/delivery part. The only positive point is the friendliness of the support person. A

I regularly buy colors of HUMBOL on the site 1001 models to date 13-10-15 I have not yet received order of 21-9 . I chose standard shipping (the least expensive one) because I had no particular urgency but so it seems a bit too much Moreover I have solicited info but I have not received any kind of response I am not convinced I will make more purchases so i becomes safer and cheaper to buy colors in store.

Wishing to obtain some additional information before purchasing a model, I sent an e-mail. No reply. We don't read emails at 1001 maquettes! Well, I'll order aille

Awful/No Service I can only echo the experiences of many of the dissatisfied reviewers of 1001 Modelkits. I ordered an item on 12/09/15 which was, and still is, listed as ""In stock, Shipped within 2-4 days"". It is now 06/10/15 and no goods. I have emailed them twice on 19/09/15 and 02/10/15 and received no response until today I found by accident that they had left a message in my order history on 02/10/15 that ""Due to an error of one of our suppliers, we are still waiting for the product to be resupplied"". No indication of when that is likely to be and of course the item webpage still shows ""In stock, Shipped within 2-4 days"". I have requested a refund and will certainly never go near them again.

Order still ""processing"" after almost 4 weeks, no customer response Order placed on 12 Aug 15 for a couple of Eduard PE frets for 1/350 USS Hornet. Emailed at least three times through different avenues, reply to my order email, email through their site, and email through PayPal. No reply from any of those. Phone call to their area code 617 number, French message answer. Left message there to call me. No reply. Called the place listed to return items in Arkansas, which on Google maps appears to be a residence. Left a message on the english speaking answering machine to call me, no reply. Unless I have some response soon, next step is to file a grievance through PayPal, which could put a dent in their sales through that payment method.

NO GOODS Very bad customer service Emailed several times about an order placed on the 15/08/2015 which has not yet arrived They have taken my money and don't seem to want to pay it back as I have requested more than once Like other companies that deal in model kits they just don't keep them and don't up date their web site so mislead you into orders

1 week's delay in relation to the planned delivery dateunacceptable!!!!especially when you pay a 9 euro delivery charge

I'm surprised to find that in 2015 there are e-commerce sites that don't offer order tracking, that take 1.5 months to send their products into stock, and that turn a deaf ear when you send them an email asking for explanations. 1001maquettes: to be avoided at all costs!

delivery much too long

Order placed on 809 Nothing in my mailbox on 1809 So for the rating we'll pass..... not. I'll go to a supply store and save myself the trouble. Sincerely
