Bought around 40 items from F1 authentic car parts in acrylic, signed mini helmets, singed caps and including the acrylic boxes. Some of the acrylic boxes came broken/cracked and was replaced right away after informing them. Love your product specially the signed caps and mini helmets. Keep up the great work.

Lots of help and brilliant product

We bought an item which was shown at a formula one race. We couldnt see our name and they tracked down a photo pointing out our name on the product. A number of emails were sent and they spent a good deal of time corresponding unheard of these days Well done. The original product bought was sent and was produced to a high quality and sent very quickly after the event.

Don’t bother!

So far so awful.
Paid a lot of money for an item.
It’s not arrived. Customer service has been slow at best and ignoring/saying they haven’t received emails.
No offer of refunding at least postage and still waiting for my package. I am in the UK so no excuse about it travelling.

Items are fun but their "Europe" warehouse is based in the UK. So I took a massive L by paying for import taxes. Expect your items to be 30% more expensive when you are located in europe

Best experience after the bad one !

I got Vettel's race worn Nomex and Balaclava of French GP.

As I checked from the photos my items were not used on race day itself. (Sunday).

I sent detailed photos of differences of race day gear of Sebastian and my gear.

F1Authentics representative - Joanne, came back to me with quick solution and arranged return and new items dispatch to me.

I am very satisfied with Joanne's help.

Amazing Experience with F1 Authentics Customer Service Representative Alice :)

I recently ordered "Sebastian Vettel Limited-Edition 2022 Bodywork & Photo – Abu Dhabi GP × 1" memorabilia from the F1 Authentics website. The website experience was very smooth with good UI and UX, which helped me to better explore what I was looking for.

However, the best part about them is their Customer Service team. I made a request for having a specific edition of my memorabilia and was greeted very pleasantly by Alice, one of their Customer Service representative. She made sure that my request was passed on to the production team, which I feel was very kind of her. To be frank, talking with someone who is willing to help you even for something trivial made a happy mark on my memory. For such great customer service from Alice, I would be looking forward for my next purchase on the F1 Authentics website.

Also, I hope and wish that the F1 Authentics team continues to provide such awesome products and wonderful customer service for F1 fans like us so that we are able to enjoy this amazing sport.

Terrible customer service and waste of money

Disappointed with the fact I had to pay an additional $722 duty which wasn't realized until I received an email from customs demanding payment, plus another $500 delivery to get this to Australia. When I tried to speak to customer service at F1 Authentics they just sent me screenshots of their small print T&Cs - by that time the 14-day refund time had elapsed so there was no chance of getting my money back. I would honestly say it's not worth it and there is no proof that this was actually used in the race it could just be a decorated rim. Do not use this business. You can see they already have more than 50% bad reviews... I can't see them staying in business much longer - Scammers

Alan,

We are very sorry to hear that the additional duty that you needed to pay to receive your items was more than you had anticipated.

The customs and duty charges are set out by the governing body of the country that the items have been received into, and are therefore, outside of our control.

We also acknowledge that as this order was delivered to you more than 2 months ago on the 3rd of October, that you are not eligible to return it, as we would have needed to be notified of your refund request withing 30 days of purchase.

We have however taken your feedback into consideration, and we are looking into a way to list the expected customs fees that would be due on delivery, at the checkout stage, making it easier for customers to have a better understanding of the full cost of items.

We hope that your next experience with us will be a positive one.

Many thanks

This site is a scam

This site is a scam. I won 2 auctions over 4 months ago, paid immediately and still don't have my items. 1 was a Magnussen race used suit from Miami 2022 and the other an Alonso race used balaclava from Imola 2022. I've written multiple emails and spoke to a lady directly several times who said sometimes these items will take several weeks to ship. We're well over 16 weeks now and not even an update. She also said their new policy is to only auction items once they are in their possession yet they are running auctions for several race used items already for the US Grand Prix and it hasn't been run yet. One has to believe that not only don't they deliver but more than likely the items are fakes. You'd be better off buying something from Bay than these crooks.
