Very displeased with the amount of time…

Very displeased with the amount of time it took to simply process the order....nearly two weeks "preparing for shipment"
Afterwards, another 11 days to reach me. This would all be well and fine except I paid 40.00 usd for expedited shipping. The quality of service from beginning to end was terribly sub-par.
That being said, the product was delivered in a well protected parcel and it was absolutely the exact product advertised. This is the only positive experience of the buying process.
Will not be doing business with this company in the future simply for the lack of efficient processing/shipping procedures even when extra service was paid for.

Whenever I order any kits the service is excellent. The delivery is very good considering the circumstances due to the pandemic. The fact that everyone is experiencing such problems due to covid-19 makes their service so good. Keep up the good work.
Yours sincerely,
William.

Wrong item shipped

Wrong item shipped. Two of a second item included when only one was ordered. Slow customer service. Contact by phone was impossible since the number for Customer Service failed every time. I tried nine times.

You get only 2 stars because why you…

You get only 2 stars because why you have a great selection of items for the plastic scale modeler, your order fullfillment process is way to slow. Your website says item available in 4-5 days yet it has been over a week and my order STILL is being processed. If you don't have the item in STOCK, don't display it at all! This is the second time this has happened, the first time you gave me a voucher, that is no good, refund the money so I can get what I want elsewhere. Once I receive my current orders I will probably drop you from my list of online suppliers because of your poor order fullfiillment process. And don't blame COVID either, I can handle 3-5 extra days but I will not tolerate WEEKS of delay.

Order was placed on Feb. 19

Order was placed on Feb. 19, 2021. Paid extra for quicker delivery. Still haven’t received my order. I’m not convinced I’ll ever get it.😤. It’s now Mar. 20 and have heard nothing from 1001Modelkits. Also, seems impossible to contact the directly about the problem.

I know Fairy Swordfish were slow

Ordered Fairy Swordfish kit on 21 Feb 21 which was despatched on 1st March. It arrived in the UK on the 8th March and languished in customs until the 13th when it was released and was delivered on the 15th March. The kit arrived in a large box, well packed with brown paper and appears to be undamaged, I haven't opened the product box yet otherwise I'll start building it and that wouldn't do as I have another kit in construction already.

Great selection of hard-to-get items here in the States. Delivery time is a bit lengthy but, considering the nature of international commerce in the time of Covid, understandable and quite acceptable. Excellent status communication and reliability. I will definitely be back as the need arises.

Hello Nina

We regret this incident and apologise for it. Due to the Brexit, parcels are taking much longer to arrive in the UK and we regret this. We are very sorry for the delay in the arrival of your parcel in the UK, but we have asked for a return shipment, as you have not paid your bank.

I am very pleased with the service,
