Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Site well stocked waiting time a little long. If you have patience recommended.

following a technical problem i had to phone customer service who immediately reassured me delivery in good time i recommend this site which is very professional

Poor communication My order has been processing for nearly three weeks without any firm contact from 1001 Model Kits. The only e-mails I have received are three copies of OTHER buyer's requests for shipping updates and a copy of an inquiry I made before ordering - and that was never responded to - plus it now refers to a product I didn't ask about. All these e-mails seem to automated responses. All I ask for is an e-mail - preferably from a real person - letting me know that my order is in stock and it will be shipping soon . UPDATE: I finally received my order from 1001 Models - nearly two months after my order was placed and paid for. Communication was better over the last few weeks but still below expectations. I can accept delays but only if I'm informed of them. I was still getting comments in my account that had nothing to do with my order.

Order still ""processing"" after almost 4 weeks, no customer response Order placed on 12 Aug 15 for a couple of Eduard PE frets for 1/350 USS Hornet. Emailed at least three times through different avenues, reply to my order email, email through their site, and email through PayPal. No reply from any of those. Phone call to their area code 617 number, French message answer. Left message there to call me. No reply. Called the place listed to return items in Arkansas, which on Google maps appears to be a residence. Left a message on the english speaking answering machine to call me, no reply. Unless I have some response soon, next step is to file a grievance through PayPal, which could put a dent in their sales through that payment method.

Slow Delivery The sale of this model kit was the slowest in a sale of a $200.00 Model kit. Delivery was good the box came in good shape and took a parts count ] to make sure that all part trees were in the model kit it was complete full] count. All in All I have to say for being the slowest delivery of a sale in my case this model kit I wanted so even thou the long wait I have to say it was wait. this is the reason I only 3 stars for slow delivery response for sale DHL was good on Delivery date one day early

NO GOODS Very bad customer service Emailed several times about an order placed on the 15/08/2015 which has not yet arrived They have taken my money and don't seem to want to pay it back as I have requested more than once Like other companies that deal in model kits they just don't keep them and don't up date their web site so mislead you into orders

1 week's delay in relation to the planned delivery dateunacceptable!!!!especially when you pay a 9 euro delivery charge

Humbrol Paint order Did not have all the colours I required ,9 out of 10 is not bad ,the 1 colour that was missing I managed to get elsewhere . Delivery was spot-on so no complaints there either .

The order arrived on time and the availability of models is very high. Excellent.

I'm surprised to find that in 2015 there are e-commerce sites that don't offer order tracking, that take 1.5 months to send their products into stock, and that turn a deaf ear when you send them an email asking for explanations. 1001maquettes: to be avoided at all costs!

Very poor quality - return to dispatch immediately

On 2772015 I purchased and regularly paid goods never received.The most shameful thing is their silence limited to two emails ''We will contact our logistics'' INEFFICIENCY OR REAL SCAMMERS? Contacted constantlyileguided constantly

good delivery service ok but more description of box contents would be welcome...

On 070915 I placed an order for 2 sheets of decals with the little green logo ""in stock&available within 24h"". It was put into the distribution circuit (priority mail) on 140915 (green logo !!!!) and the envelope arrived on 210915. Fortunately it was priority mail. Bravo la poste!

delivery much too long

Two weeks! Still no delivery of order. Ordered supplies from their site that were marked as in-stock. Order has been sitting in the ""Being Processed"" state now for over 2 weeks after I've been charged. No updates, no back ordered notifications, NOTHING. About ready to file a claim with PayPal on this one. Be wary of this company's order fulfillment time.

Delivery Order placed 7th Sept, now 18th September still no sign of my order, I'm not a happy bunny

Order placed on 809 Nothing in my mailbox on 1809 So for the rating we'll pass..... not. I'll go to a supply store and save myself the trouble. Sincerely

very disappointed. i ordered a car model in one color for a gift. i received this model in another color. i contacted customer service by email. for a ""reacti"" (as noted on the site) 24 hours passed and no answer to my request.

Ordered on 01.09 and paid immediately. But no goods have arrived to date. You can also send the customer shipping number but this is not the case. calls are pushed away and if you write to them no reaction. Not recommendable.

5 star price, 2 star customer service The price is really good, so I am OK with the LONG waiting period. But customer service is bad, when I told them my items are damaged, they replied my VERY slowly, although they did send me replacement parts. They don't even inform me that they are sending the replacement. Overall I am pretty happy now, because I got my replacement(still pretty slow), and the price is REALLY good!

I found wagons for the model railroad here that are no longer available anywhere else. However, it is not true that the goods are dispatched within two days. It was more like two weeks. So if you are looking for a rare model, this is the right place. However, you have to be patient.

Good overall experience, could improve the shipping time.

Delivery was good. Assembly is already underway.

Good quality product - delayed delivery. Slight damage to corner of book but not serious. Otherwise quality of book as supplied was acceptable. Delivery was quoted on website as 5-6 days but took nearer to two weeks and needed chasing up. Opted for tracker on delivery but information provided was very limited and no explanation or warning given for delay experienced in delivery.
