Great Service
Managed to get order even with Brexit going on, emails to say where it was every step of the way.
Will defiantly use again.

Ordered from the UK site unfortunately…
Ordered from the UK site unfortunately this company doesn't have a UK shop, didn't inform me of this when I ordered. £45 of customs fees charged on top! 1001 model kits needs to be more upfront and inform customers of this before they place an order.
Change your choice of delivery company.
The company itself is fine. The courier service however is abysmal. I realise that this is supposed to be a review of 1001, however if they choose to give business to a delivery company that is frankly unfit for purpose then they are themselves guilty by association. That's how easy it is to have your own reputation ruined.

2 weeks for items to arrive website is useless, seems the french only let certain things through borders quickly

Good customer service despite shipping delay
Product delivered in good condition. Responded to queries fairly promptly and helpful customer service. Only issue was very slow courier pick up/shipping due to current circumstances.

The shipping cost are too expensive
The shipping cost are too expensive, I paid 14 pounds for a model that I purchased on 11th February and isn't arrived yet, today I tried to contact the UK number phone number but the telephone seems to be out of service,definitely I won't to purchase anymore from this site
Correspondentie in iedere keer een andere taal?
Ik heb over mijn bestelling emails in het Engels, Frans en Nederlands ontvangen. Dat is op zichzelf geen probleem, maar ik kan mij voorstellen dat dit voor andere klanten die minder goed hun talen spreken problematisch kan zijn. Bovendien komt dit op mij vreemd en onbetrouwbaar over.
Thank you for your reaction to my review, perhaps I will get my original message across if I respond in English. To be clear, I do not have any issue with my order being delayed. I understand that, considering the current situation with Covid, Brexit and the weather, a delay was inevitable. My 'issue' is more like a suggestion: I received several correspondence items regarding my order in several different languages: Dutch, English and French. That in itself is not a problem (at least to me), but I'd like to point out that this may be a problem to people who are less comfortable with languages and that handling correspondence like this may come across as less reliable.

Very poor service and no communication
Thank you for your reply. Does this mean that you will cancel the order and refund my payment?
My parcel has been sent to me, but was then returned back to 1001 Modelkits because the paperwork wasn't correct. I have no idea what has happened to it now - I have emailed them twice but have had no reply. This is very poor service and is a big disappointment. It was my first order from them and I doubt if I will order again. The complete lack of communication, apart from automatic messages such as this request to rate them, is the biggest problem. I just want my order to be delivered!

Not truthful about inventory?
When I ordered the product it was stated it was in stock, two weeks later I received notification the product was shipped - I have still not received the product. Their are either very disorganized or not truthful about their inventory. My order was two masking sets that would fit into an envelope and their shipping fees where extremely high. I wanted the product so I moved forward. Other vendors had the same product, lower cost and lower shipping but were truthful about delivery time (that would be sooner than this experience). Next time, I will go with the other vendors.
Update - Feb 21, 2021 and still have not received the product - ordered Jan 31, 2021
Update: Feb 26, 2021 Received the package. It is an Eduard masking kit. They do say that on their site, but I missed that..my fault. I have ordered from Eduard direct in the past, about the same price but far lower shipping cost and delivery was much faster.
Very good service
Very good service. Delay in delivery quickly dealt with. Will definately use the company again.

Delivery time FAR TOO LONG!
With a .co.uk website and a UK contact number, assumed it was a UK based company as nothing to give true location obvious on website. MISTAKE. Ordered two in-stock items on 23rd December and received 9th February. Far too late to be of any use and ignored all my polite requests to cancel order and refund. Accept Brexit excuse but expected delivery delays should be made much more obvious at time of order. Covid is not acceptable as every other supplier is managing perfectly well. Will not trouble them with my business again.

SCAM
They claim to have never received my payment, even though all the information was correct and my bank confirmed that I sent the payment. They spam mails that I say "it appears we haven't received your payment" and when you try to solve the issue they just stall. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!
