Refused to cancel

Ordered an item, then realised it was the wrong one. Emailed to cancel (they hadn't sent it). At first they asked me if I wanted a refund or voucher. When I said refund, they said they wouldn't cancel my order despite admitting that they hadn't yet sent it.

I reviewed your advertisement for the Fiesler Storch TAM 12620. Type of product: Airplane Model Kit This is misleading if in fact it is not an Airplane. Is it a separate stand? Very misleading. How can I get a refund?

Very good price

I recently purchased a MG Gundam F91 2.0. The price was excellent, far cheaper than I could find it anywhere in the UK.

My only gripe, is that it took 3 weeks to process the order before shipping it. I've had orders from Japan that have processed and shipped quicker.

I will still consider this site for future purchases though and would recommend them, if you are not in a hurry to get your items.

Having purchased several items from 1001 I must admit that the service leaves little to be desired! It is direct throughout with constant updates of any problems that may arise! They also reply to your queries promptly and professionally.
I would recommend this company to anyone interested in this type of craft!

Excellent service.

Excellent service. The items I ordered were sold, including delivery, cheaper that anywhere else I could find. Very good communications from 1001 about the progress of my order and it was trackable. Quick delivery as well despite the current postal and virus situation. Highly recommended.

Great Store for Models

Great selection and very good prices. Just as a note, the company is based in France which wasn’t originally clear as the website used .co.uk, but this didn’t matter for me as the shipping was still very quick. I’d recommend this company, a good experience overall.
