I ordered a model figure on Xmas Day

I ordered a model figure on Xmas Day, they took my money and then sent an email saying on back order, it is now end of January and 3 emails later asking for the order to be cancelled and a refund. ...absolutely no acknowledgement from them!!!!! Avoid at all costs, they take your money and you get fresh air!!, Report to trading standards impending!!

Excellent service as KMS is proactive…

Excellent service as KMS is proactive in meeting customer needs. Left order for product which was out of stock (everywhere). Later, KMS telephoned to say they had sourced an alternative product at higher price but were able, in these particular circumstances, to supply at the price of out of stock product. Could not ask for more.

My ordering experience with KMS Railtech

All I will say is read all the reviews before making a purchase, I wish I had. Took six weeks for order to arrive, just as the dispute with PayPal closed in my favor. So had to return item. Rail tech were very apologetic, due to family issues.

If I could rate this 0 stars I would

Did not communicate to me about my order, when I asked about cancelling I got ghosted so tried calling and all I got was people saying they would do it and never did , luckily today I got the credit back. Avoid at all costs. I understand the family issues that are currently happening but communicating to the customers by email instead of only by phone about it is important.

Warning Do Not Use…..

You can’t give no stars can you?

After a lovely lady at GETS helping and selling me some signals I subsequently ordered a decoder from them online.

Item advertised as in stock but when ordered e mail came back as out of stock, that was 4 months ago. Requested a refund, absolutely nothing. 3 e mails and 2. Non answered phone calls.

Regret Starting a claim under SMALL CLAIMS COURT ..

Nothing wrong with product or price

Nothing wrong with product or price
but items where out of stock which wasn’t made clear before ordering and took an age to be delivered
Emailed twice to ask about progress but no response, didn’t really matter as wasn’t urgent but used to getting things quickly

Revoution Trains JNA Tourax Wagons

I ordered two Revolution Trains Tourax JNA Wagons from KMS Railtech, I had a phone call from tem to say they had sold of that model, they were very helpful and sorted the problem out. The wagons arrived a couple of days later very well packed. They make an eccellent addition to my others. These models are very detailed and make realistic addition to my layout. Thanks Richard
