Disappointed

No Communication regarding order.

Not shipped quickly. Just hope it arrives undamaged.
States on website "We Commit, We Deliver, No Excuses" Placed an order with Hattons slightly after placing this one and have it in my hands before the e-models one is even with courier

Revised my Review - well done emodels

In all honesty I must revise my review completrely, Initially, I gave 1 star because I did nor receive the order and neither an email or any notification.

This revised review is on 12/10/2022

I spoke to Richard on the phone, and very refreshingly, he took responsibility at once and sorted out the issue to my complete satisfaction.

A very good lesson on how to recover from a faux pas and have good customer care. Mistakes occur, but it is how to tackle them that is praiseworthy.

The net effect, that I will not hesitate to place other orders with them.

(BTW I have not received the order yet, but am not in any doubt that will come as Richard said).

Brilliant Comany

Have now used E-models a few times and think they are a brilliant site. Very easy to use and very speedy service, last order received in two days. Even if something is out of stock they keep you informed.

The only choice...

I've used eModels for a few years now and they've always impressed with their range of products, on-point deliveries and outstanding customer service.

Other companies could certainly take a leaf out of eModels book, they set the standard for the UK modelling hobby.

Top work, people, top work.

Genuinely Excellent Customer Service

Ordered an Arism Compressor from eModels but forgot to actually confirm the transaction at checkout. By the time I realised it was 13.57 and I hurriedly confirmed the order just before the 2pm cut off for next day delivery.

Decided to call to confirm I hadn't missed the delivery window and I was treated to the friendliest and most helpful interaction I've ever had with a customer services representative of any company, ever.

Even their automated phone system is friendly and genuinely funny. It also helps that the Arism was the cheapest available in the UK, including next day delivery. Will definitely be using again.

Brilliant Company

Brilliant company to deal with customer service was fantastic.
I brought a Sparmax 620x in Orange from eModels the price was the best i could find on the web the Compressor itself is brilliant & i am well happy with it, i should of brought one of these long ago rather than waist time & money on Chinese trash.
The postaging was super fast and the web site itself is well laid out and easy to navagate.
Brilliant !!

An amended view

Thank you emodels for your reply, I have amended the score I gave you due to the fact that you refunded the entire order to me following the issues I experienced. I did find the conversation I had with your representative to be quite enlightening.

Had we been told of the issue upon our initial order we would have paid for next day delivery simply to avoid using Hermes.

The primer you supplied is excellent and I will likely be purchasing more from you in the future (hopefully without a deadline for a commission hanging over me) after the call and the work done by your staff to rectify the issue I think it only fair to give your company another chance.

I also apologise for the crass language I used in my original review as I felt somewhat aggrieved by the communication I had received up until that point.

Hello,

Firstly thank you for your custom and taking the time to leave a review, 

It was very nice to speak to you today and resolve any negativity with your order.

I have had a look at your order and can see it was placed on the 22nd February. 

I can see the order was picked packed and ready to ship out on the 22nd of February.

Unfortunately, we have had an issue with our local Royal Mail depot, causing them to not be able to collect from us in the latter half of last week.

Because of this, the order was swapped to the Hermes service on the 23rd to prevent any further delay with your order being collected from us.

We don't advertise the Royal Mail as 48 hours as we find this time frame is often not correct all of our standard delivery services are sold as 3-5 days as this allows for some delay in transit and we find people are always happy when their order arrives earlier than expected. 
We do offer a range of express and next day delivery options for when you urgently require your order, as we all appreciate sometimes you run out of paint halfway through a model.

We don't actually make any profit from the shipping costs, the cost you pay is the cost we pay.

I can see that we have spoken to you over the phone several times to explain the delay to your order, and also when you spoke to Richard, he actually refunded the order for the two pots of primer you had placed, as an apology for the unforeseen circumstances which are beyond our control.

Here at eModels we pride ourselves on our customer service and want all our customers to be happy, and will go the extra mile for our loyal customers!

From what you say you have had issues with other model companies' delivery and they have offered you free delivery, or re-sent lost orders, we actually gave you the whole order for free!

I can only apologise for the delay in you starting your model, while you wait for the primer to arrive, and can highly recommend our next day delivery services over the standard economy delivery you selected.

First time customer

First time I have ever used eModels. I needed a lot of Tamiya paint as I have just got back into 1/24 scale model cars. Their prices were cheaper than anything else I could find on eBay and the internet. Their customer service was great; one of my items was damage en route to their shop, so they sent out the rest of my order and next day delivered my last item when they had new stock come in. I was kept updated and in the loop all the way through. I will definitely be using eModels again. Thank you!

Fab Customer Service

I've been ordering from eModels for a few years now and can honestly say that they are very much on the ball with dispatches and are very helpful if something goes awry. Big thanks to Lee for his help with Hermes.

Problem with order resolved quickly

There was an issue with an order I placed with eModels (a kit I ordered was unavailable even though it was supposed to be in stock). The customer service people were very quick to reply and was offered the choice of a replacement kit or refund (chose the kit!). Very happy with the service received.

First time I've used this company.

First time I've used this company.
I saw them advertised on 'scalemates' so I knew they'd be OK and they were.
Timely friendly emails keeping updated. Parcel arrived on time and well packaged.
They seem to have excellent availability. Really pleased and would use them again. They even have amazon pay so buying is easy.
Keep up the good work on these hard times. Your friendly model shop

Excellent service from nice people

I have Been buying models and model products from emodels for a few years now. The people are polite and curious and a fun bunch. The service is excellent with prompt delivery times. They always have what a model maker needs be it kits, paints tools or anything else you might need. I can highly recommend them to all model makes of any subject.

Used a couple of times - pretty good.

I have used eModels a couple of times now and they aren't too bad at all. A good, wide range of choice available - not always the best prices but not bad.
Yes delivery a bit slow but given the current situation I was ok with that. I didn't need anything that urgently. Give them a go.

Slow Service.

Slow Service.

I order from several model suppliers, and of course the pandemic is a problem, but they are the only supplier I order from who have become very slow in despatching orders.
