1001hobbies stands out for consistent product availability and a well-curated selection, with new items arriving regularly and kept in good condition, alongside pricing that customers find appropriate and competitive. The store demonstrates reliable and fast shipping, with many orders arriving quickly and packaging described as careful and neat, contributing to a smooth overall delivery experience. Customer service and communications are highlighted as responsive and effective, with several mentions of helpful follow-up and smooth transactions, while the majority of positive notes emphasize dependable fulfillment and satisfaction with the product quality and value.
I had the opportunity to place two orders on the site with great difficulty. Both times my children gave me a gift card for my birthday and for Christmas. Each time I had to enter the coupon number, I got an error message saying that the coupon was invalid or something! So to be able to validate my order I had to contact "" 1001 MAQUETTES""? This is where another big problem arises for me. The service is unreachable by phone when you send an email: no answer!!!. After 15 days of calls, we manage to get someone on the phone or in chat! Miraculously, we managed to integrate the coupon that had supposedly been deactivated, and finally we were able to validate the order... Personally, I'd never order from this site again, because the customer service is deplorable and the delivery times are not respected.

As much as the paint pot orders are satisfactory, the Colissimo delivery service is average. An order placed on January 26 was shipped on January 27, according to the site, and after a reminder from customer service on January 31, delivery took place on February 3, which is a bit long. However, customer service had provided me with a direct tracking link, which proved useful and accurate. So I've modified my opinion accordingly, as the site is rich in terms of the products on offer. I recommend

Some information on labels may not be accurate. Apart from that, good products, delivery times respected. Just an oversight on the part of the parcel relay center, which did not warn of the arrival of the parcel.

the model supplied has no instructions in French, only in English and Japanese. For a 12-year-old, this is not at all practical!!! even with the assembly sketches. A phone call to 1001 maquettes confirmed the absence of French instructions and the impossibility of obtaining them. I don't recommend this site and I personally wouldn't repeat the experience of a new one.

No reply I had ordered a set of decals, and received an email that my order had been processed good so far. On this email was my order number, and a link to check your order status. Here's where things changed: I tried the link, and got an error, telling me my order number was not correct. After a few tried, I went to the homepage/contact us link. I sent an email with my info and order number, yet have not heard anything back as of yet. Then, the following day, I received this email asking for a rating. It would do well to ask about the customer experience after some attempt at customer service was made.

Dear customer, Apparently you created a second account, which explains why you could not access to the information about the order made with your first account. We apologize for the inconvenience due to this misunderstanding. Best regards, 1001modelkits Customer Service

Impossible to hold silver paint (N°11) on plastic. For the other colors, acrylic paint leaves traces on the brush and dries very quickly (perhaps you need to add an additive like white spirit or alcohol?). No problems with dispatch

I bought a model as a present for my husband and surprise, when you open it and look at the cardboard, there's no paint or glue for the price you're paying. In other stores, when you buy a model, you get everything inside. Really disappointed

Delivery The delivery time for just a few model paints was terrible. I could have built the whole model in the time I have waited for the correct paints and after three weeks one still has to be delivered. I am sure I'm not the only one who has waited more than three weeks for delivery which is not acceptable in today's market.

Last 12122016 day I placed an order that was charged to my account on 14122016 not receiving the product and not having information on the status of the order I made several calls in which I got an answering machine indicating to send an email which I did after three emails sent to which no one has responded the days 06012017 13012017 and 24012017 I find that to date 01022017 no one has contacted me to tell me the status of the order or responded to my request for a refund of the amount paid. It is clear that I will not buy from them again and that I will recommend that no one should buy from them.

Goods received from France after approx. 1 week. Unfortunately, it was not clear anywhere that it came from abroad. In addition, there was also a wrong article that was even cheaper than the one I ordered. I received no reply to 3 emails, but the other items I ordered were OK.

I haven't received my order # 95808, bought on 1/14/2017 Ordered through PayPals on 1/14/2017. 1001 stated that it was shipped on 1/20/2017. I haven't as yet received my order. When contacting them on the 617.849.9224 phone number, the message after ringing about 10 times, is not in English, so this number is useless to me. The price of the order was $15 plus change. When I ordered this through their website, the price changed in front of me to $23 plus change. Very sneaky. I will NOT use this company again! When issuing a grievance through PayPal, 1001 states it has been shipped.
