Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

I can recommend 1001 maquettes without any unpleasant surprises.

The instructions could be more 'clear. I have some doubts about the 1:32 scales do not seem so accurate at least in the case of the American armored car .

Lots of choice and order received quickly. However, the explanations given about the models are a little too brief. But I'm happy to recommend this site.

timing as indicated.

disappointed I was very sorry that the models did not arrive on time for grandkids to open at Christmas. They still have not arrived.

So far so good.....ll Couriered to UK from France by DHL during Christmas week, arrived before most of our UK parcels which were ordered much earlier! This would be 5 stars, except for the fact that this expensive, sophisticated wooden sailing ship model kit was open and had been repackaged somewhere along the line. There is no way to tell if anything is missing due to the complexity of the model (Amati HMS Surprise from the Aubrey/Maturin novels).

I had ordered on 1612 a model for a christmas gift by paying the fast delivery service and by paying the gift wrapping option ...in total the package arrived on 2612 and no gift wrapping !!!!! so very disappointed I will not order anymore on this site

Too bad I can't contact them by phone! I didn't receive an e-mail to let me know when the parcel had arrived. The relationship aspect needs to be improved. Otherwise, I got my parcel on time and I'm satisfied with the service.

Unfortunately my first order on 1001 maquettes wasn't a very serene one, as it was placed more than 10 days before Christmas and didn't arrive until Christmas day, with no real indication of why it had been ordered.

I placed my order for a model in stock on November 31 and paid on 03122014. Free delivery only shipped on 1212. I'm still waiting for my delivery. It's a Christmas present that I certainly won't get in time. I sent you an e-mail to find out what's wrong? I'm getting seriously impatient? Further to your answer I modify my note because I remind you that you have me a voucher for a free delivery so your services have posted by courr

When I ordered the Leonardo da Vinci models, your site said they were made of wood, but they're actually made of plastic. So they're expensive for plastic

Order placed on December 13th Payment accepted on the 15th but still not received on the 24th Thank you Obliged to buy another game for tonight How can I get my money back?

I am very disappointed by the site 1001 maquettes. I ordered a model of an aston martin on Friday afternoon at 5pm and the order was dispatched immediately. Having no news about the parcel a week later I contacted them and was informed that in fact they did not have it in stock! I was offered an alternative solution to the product, but it didn't suit me. So I asked for a refund. A week later I'm still waiting... in short they're very quick to debit but on the other hand updating their stock informing their customers and refunding them there's work there! 29-12-2014: still nothing on my account... 30-12-2014: that's it...thanks

The products offered are really many for all needs and of quality. In terms of assistance and information, the service is also of quality. The time elapsed between order and goods arrival considering that the payment is in advance goes a bit long. One criticism for the handling of missing products: the transformation of the value into a discount for a subsequent purchase does not seem correct to me especially in case incomplete orders are repeated.

Unsatisfactory response to damaged goods report. I ordered a Great Planes Giant Big Stik model aircraft which arrived with some damage to the rear of the fuselage. I reported the damage with photographs of both model and packaging and asked 1001model kits for their comments. Having paid over £300 for the model which was to be a special Christmas present (which I had noted on my order) I imagined they would at least have offered to reduce the price as I had received damaged goods. Their reply follows: Dear Sir, I am deeply sorry for the damage. Unfortunately we are located in France and have no solution for repairs in the UK. I suggest that you repair it yourself, this should not be too complicated. Best regards, -- Customer service UK buyers beware.

Poor service I ordered some photo-etch details on December 3, and it has not arrived yet as of Dec.23. Not only were the shipping charges higher than they should have been for such an item (and higher than their website advertised) but to take at least three weeks to arrive is unacceptable. I could have purchased from a company in Australia that I've bought from before and had it here in a week. Really disappointed. 12/30 - still have not arrived. Cancelling order.

WORST COMPANY EVER Very quick to take your money nothing in stock, slow postage, customer service nil, dont waste your time go to a real supplier

Terrible experience with no response It's now 1/16 -It has now been a month since I placed my order and I have nothing to show for it except a $106 charge to my credit card. Based upon the last response I received from your company, I expected at least a partial shipment. Again, I have not received anything. I have not received my order, tracking number or any follow-up response. This has been the worst on-line experince. I placed my order on 12/12 for Christmas. The website indicated it was ""in stock"" and would be here in time. Credit card was charged $106 immediately. That is the only thing they have gotten correct. Now MORE THAN A MONTH LATER and I do not have my order and have not heard from a representative of 1001modelkits...but they still have my money. Respectfully I have asked for them to cancel my order and post a credit but still no response. Placed an order on 12/12 for Christmas. It is now 1/5 and I still have not received my order. In addition I asked for an update and did not receive a response. Customer service is non-existent. Placed an order on 12/12. According to the website the order is still being processed but my credit card was charged immediately. I have now emailed on two occasions with no response. Prior to oreddering, the website said it would be available for Christmas...not likley.

I ordered a maréchal d'Empire statuette that looked very good in the photo. I received an unidentifiable figure in raw resin and as a spare part. I was so angry that I couldn't even react at the time! This statuette was a Christmas present, so I'm disappointed! Not only will I never order from this site again, but with the publicity I've given it, a lot of other people have also been disappointed.

At the beginning I ordered it was simple but they promised me 4 to 5 days and it's been 10 days that I'm waiting for the parcel that was supposed to be delivered to the Auchan closest to me. So here's my opinion on this

Fast delivery but model box damaged while package was intact. Too bad for a gift

still not arrived this damn order of the 15th..yet message of sending the package on the 19th confirmed but tomorrow is the 24th and zero news. delivery not at all assured for christmas it's naked

After ordering an available product at the beginning of December, I made several reminders and finally found out that there was a problem with the supplier. Not being able to have the order for Christmas, I asked for a refund. Miraculously, I was told that the order was being prepared and would be dispatched shortly. Unfortunately the only thing that arrived was a free tube of glue with the order. Now I'm waiting for a full refund but no news.....

the departure was a little long but everything arrived quickly after processing the order thank you

shipping too long my wife ordered after me it arrives before me !!!!

The rest was perfect

Wide choice of models (including models that are sometimes hard to find) - Kit prices a little higher than average. Careful shipping and packaging - Delivery times a little long. Site to be recommended.

Hello, this concerns an order I placed and confirmed on 1112 (7am) for a product that was in stock (5 copies: copy made). After a few days, the order remained frozen. I contacted them again by e-mail on 1612 and was told the same day that the item was missing and should be received today or tomorrow, and that the order would be dispatched immediately. The parcel was received on 2012. Question: what would have happened if I hadn't contacted them again? - How is it possible to display and sell a product (stock unchanged to date) and not have the item in the store? - Do (toy) companies know that Christmas is on December 25? Obviously, if I had been informed that the item was missing, I would have ordered elsewhere. I understand that it's not easy to manage orders during the festive period, but that doesn't allow for elastic stock management.
