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.
Ordered a Gunpla model. They have quite a few in the store but a lot of them are actually in backorder meaning you've no idea when you'll get them. Keep in mind that this store is based in France so shipping to the Netherlands was quite a bit more expensive. Otherwise the actual delivery was fine. My item took three workdays to arrive.
All and all not really a remarkable experience. I'd only recommend them for Gunpla kits that aren't available anywhere else and that they have in actual stock.

Fast delivery eventually, but website showed all products in stock when in fact none of them were and the delivery was missing an item, so I had to buy that elsewhere.

I placed an order at the end of October for 3 gunpla, one available immediately, another had just been announced as being back in stock, and the last one was on pre-order, with an estimated delivery date of November. 2 weeks later, just after the withdrawal period, the deadlines were changed, nothing was in stock, everything was postponed to December and January. I'm told to be patient, that one of the models is a very popular product and that if I cancel I lose out, and that in any case, no refund is possible because the right of withdrawal is obsolete. I have to be patient, it's a Christmas present, almost 300€ that I couldn't offer. In mid-December, the deadlines were extended again to the end of January and the end of March. I contact the company at the end of January to ask them to send me a separate shipment, which I would pay for if necessary, as soon as each model is available (I remind you that 2 of them were available in October 2024), as there has been no change in the delivery dates, but they tell me that no, they won't be available. I have no communication on my order tracking, I go on the site, the delivery dates are now for the end of July 2025. As a contractor myself with orders for equipment and supplies abroad, I still wonder about the seriousness of this company and their online stock management, in addition to significant price differences when 2 identical products are sold in their shop with sometimes 15€ difference for the same product, and an evasive customer service that wants to show you that you are not in your rights.
In the meantime, I've been robbed of 300€, a disappointed relative who doesn't understand my apology for his Christmas present and thinks I'm blatantly lying to him so as not to give him anything, and a lot of stress caused by this situation. I'm beginning to think I'll never see the color of these gunpla.

Hello Sir, We sincerely regret this incident and apologize for the situation. We would like to point out that the product MG 1/100 FREEDOM GUNDAM Ver.2.0 - Shipped within 1 week was indeed available from our supplier. However, we unfortunately took position too late to expect delivery within this timeframe. The product is now available for pre-order, with a new release date of March 28, 2025. The other two products, Gundam Gunpla MG 1/100 Providence Gundam and Gundam Gunpla NG 1/100 15 Akatsuki Gundam, were on pre-order, as clearly indicated on our website. Please note that pre-order release dates are subject to change without notice by the manufacturer. In accordance with our terms and conditions and the information on pre-orders, cancellation is possible, but will incur a cancellation fee of 25%. However, we study each case individually and are fully aware of the importance of the quality of service we wish to offer our customers. Regarding the order split request, we offer this option at no extra charge for orders like yours. We understand our customers' impatience and do our best to offer maximum service. As far as price differences are concerned, we match the prices of our various suppliers. We work with more than 50 suppliers to offer a wide range of references and to satisfy our customers to the best of our ability.

Hello, We apologize for the delay in processing your order. In fact, all the products in your order were in "available, shipped today" status, with the exception of the M5A1 with 4 figures, which was available but needed to be ordered from our supplier. The delay you noted therefore corresponds to the delivery time between our supplier and our logistics depot. We would also like to remind you that there are two concepts to take into account on our site: "Product available": means that the item is referenced on our site but must be ordered from our supplier. "Product available, dispatched today": means that the item is in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be dispatched within 3 days. We apologize for any confusion and remain at your disposal for any further information. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

The models ordered are outstanding,. You can find models that are almost unobtainable. My only note,which makes one very unhappy, is to report on the product sheet that it is available. Instead with my second purchasing experience I have found that the models have to request them from the suppliers and the time is very long. I would like to add that today there are online sellers(see Amazon) where the delivery times are very fast.I understand that you have adopted a sales policy aimed at saving money for logistical facilities, but it would be much better to indicate this clearly before payment. Anyway it is a reliable and well-stocked site, thank you.
