1001hobbies consistently delivers items in good condition and on time, with many reviews noting fast delivery and careful packaging that keeps products intact. The store offers a broad selection and reliable tracking, and customers praise clear, professional communication and helpful, responsive service from the team. Several experiences highlight dependable order processing and satisfaction with the order accuracy and packaging, with delivery timeframes aligning with expectations. Overall, customers celebrate the reliable shipments, strong product availability, and smooth customer support that supports a positive shopping experience.
Site navigation is sometimes a little counter-intuitive. Selection is very good, pricing is reasonable. Shipping speed is good, especially on trans-Atlantic shipments. I would like to be able to place wishlist orders for out-of-stock items so that when they become available again, I don't have to run the risk of missing them, since items seem to come and go very quickly. Sending an email notice would be a big help in this regard. I've also noticed that once in a while, the picture and the description of an item don't always match, but considering the size of the inventory available, it is not a real problem. In fact, sometimes it's amusing. 1001 Hobbies does a good job of replacing the old brick-and-mortar hobby shop and the masses of line catalogues with a single stop for the serious modeler.

Hello, thank you for your message. We are sorry that the product never arrived, this is beyond our control. We did ship the product on April 6, but unfortunately the post office may have lost or stolen it :/ I see the refund has been made. Good day

Well in relatively reasonable prices, usually have enough in stock and the only thing that subtracts a little it takes a little longer than normal everything else well and correct, easy to buy and quite explanation.

A reliable site for even expensive purchases. Delivery time, which does not depend solely on them, which could be shortened, It would be good if it is highlighted if the product is presnte in stock. Overall my opinion is of a good partner to buy modeling materials.

They have many items and sometimes with good offers, but they have a couple of problems that have been repeated in several of the orders I have placed: - Slow shipping: they take a few days to ship the order - Insufficient protection of the items: they usually send them in the boxes of the models themselves, which are not very resistant, wrapped in bubble wrap, so they can be damaged in transport, since the carriers are not usually very delicate in handling the packages. To improve, they should put the bubble-wrapped models inside an external box that protects them and also avoids seeing the contents.

Poor communication/shipment tracking and now they keep contacting me about the review I left, it directly asked if I wanted them to contact me and saying no does not good.

Hello, thank you for your message. I see that the order was indeed placed on April 12 and was delivered on May 5. I'm sorry for the delay, which is actually due to one of the other products in your order delaying the overall shipment. I'm glad you were able to find a workaround. If a discount code has already been offered, unfortunately I can do no more. Have a nice day.

Inadequate packaging, ruined the decals making them partially unusable. When ai ships a sheet whether decals or stickers, it must be sandwiched at least between two thick cardboard planes that stiffen and protect. Not a spring envelope. 20€ between shipping and product, €12.90 of product, and it is partially unusable. Improve the packaging.

Delivery of item from order date took 20 days - and this is not clear when ordering.
However - the 1001 Hobbies customer service team did answer on email all my questions regarding delivery.
UPS did deliver on agreed date and 1001Hobies do keep feeding you delivery information, (as do UPS).
The item was safely delivered and overall I'm happy with 1001Hobbies.

The ability to communicate with the customer in their language and with accuracy on delivery of the product ordered is paramount in this business that crosses oceans and languages. The products selected had either one or two weeks for delivery for each. I totally understand wanting to ship the whole thing as ONE shipment vice more than one plus waiting for all products to arrive at your place to ship as one package...BUT this was never communicated to the customer. Nor did the package tracking ability work, once the package arrived in the customers country. Your "expected delivery" was April 25th (well after two weeks) yet it didn't show up, unannounced (and I was on travel) until March 2nd. I asked twice via email what the status of this shipment was and your replies never clearly answered said questions, only said you were "sorry". I just wanted to know when to expect this, track its delivery and ensure it wouldn't sit on my porch or mailbox for days until I got home as I wold have made arrangements for its pick-up. I did get an email from you saying it was delivered (which it was) when I was 2500 miles away from home...
I like your product selection and your prices were reasonable. If you can better address the above, you will have a fine company to order from.

Hello, thank you for your very detailed feedback, it is very valuable for us. Regarding the shipment in several packages, it seems obvious to us that it is not done by default when you place a single order with all the items. If you want to split your order, unfortunately, you have to place two separate orders, with shipping fees paid separately. We also apologise for the delivery date. We are trying to improve this, but in the end we are always dependent on the goodwill of the delivery companies. We will not hesitate to pass on your feedback to them. Have a nice day,

The precise search is a little complicated, but the number of references is gigantic, making it difficult to find what you're looking for quickly.

Unfortunately, I would have to say that my experience with 1001 Hobbies is bad on the basis that I ordered an Eduard photo etched sheet and received a large model kit. Although to be fair they have responded quickly within normal working hours to rectify the problem which appears to have arisen through both items having the same reference number.

Hello, thank you for your message about your customer experience. It will help us to improve our services. I am sorry to hear that the situation was not optimal. I think there was indeed a reference problem, we have passed the information on to the supplier. I'm glad to know that we were still able to be responsive, that's important. Good day to you.

Correct order. Navigation on the correct page although the prices are not cheaper than in the official store so next time I will do it there. Very bad shipping. Paying 7,5€ for a shipment weighing less than 1kg and waiting 11 days when it is specified that the delivery will be made in 4 (since everything was in stock) seems to me very bad. For delay, this shipment costs 2-3€, not 7,5€. And also the envelope arrived broken and completely wrinkled and the goods deposited inside with little security, receiving blows and so on.

Order took ages to come. Informed one item not in stock. Email said order cancelled. Then order delivered with both items in it. Looks like no one knows what’s happening. Also an insult that I had to pay for postage and packaging. Order said delivery in 7 to 9 days that was a joke try 3 weeks. Very unlightly to order again.
