Allowed me to preorder an item that was unavailable, and then proceeded to never reach out to me. When asked about refunding my card, they said they'd only do store credit or an exchange for an item... See more

A huge scam and a waste of money and time

Probably the wordt experience i’ve had with a company that’s not wish or aliexpress. Ordered something in may that would come in 2 weeks. It never arrived and when i contacted them they told me they didn’t even have it in stock and that i can’t get a refund. Instead i got a voucher. I used a voucher and the same story again. I would get my item the next week, but to this day i have no idea where it is or when i can expect it. This is a straight up scam and the worst company to ever order an item from. Please stay clear and spend your money elsewhere.

Terrible company

Terrible company, box pushers pur sang! You should avoid this company at any times. Absurdly high prices, bad communication (only when there's a customer alert they answer your e-mails), cluttered website, they're messing up the order history, delivery times are not respected and some items never arrive. Their strategy: you order then they order. No stock available. But if you still want to order something from their website, take screen shots as evidence!!

Stay away from this website.

Ordered some decals for a t-34. They took for ever to send me the right decals of the wrong scale.
Contacted them via email, I did not even received an email back.
Sorry, but I'll stay away from this website in the future.

Excellent Customer Service

I contacted customer service about what I thought was an incomplete order (turns out it shipped in two boxes with one arriving Friday and the second on Monday). 1001Models quickly responded to my email query. I've ordered from them for years and they're the best with prompt and careful shipping and, now I can add, customer service! You can order with confidence from 1001Models.

RC 1/16 tank

I recently bought from this supplier as I thought they were based in the UK as they had a UK web address, however the item was sent from France and i had a huge (more than 25% of the items cost) customs charge put on.
The Item did arrive quickly by UPS so no issues other than the customs charge that was not made clear on ordering.

Great Site but Shipping Time not so much

Shipping took way to long. It was delivered 10-12 days after “Delivery Date” on shipping carriers site. Other than that, this is actually a great website and they got lots of models and upgrade kits.

I was hesitant to order from this site…

I was hesitant to order from this site based on some bad reviews I saw online, but I actually had a great experience. The shipping from France to US took about three weeks. My items arrived packaged well. And the owner was very responsive to my emails.

Shipping costs were on the high side

Shipping costs were on the high side. After I placed the order I realized why. Order shipped from France and I was notified that it would take 2-3 weeks for delivery and order tracking was not available. I got an email that it shipped the next day. The Email had tracking information. The order arrived in less than 2 weeks (I think about 9 days). The item i ordered was not available anywhere else, so alll in all I was happy with the purchase even with high cost of shipping.
