Unfortunately the description differs from the item I received. According to the picture and (translated) description "Mr Mark Setter" "Mr Mark Softer" was advertised, but unfortunately I received "Mr Mark Softer Neo" and "Mr Mark Setter Neo". The original ones (without Neo) are unfortunately hard to get in Europe and I was hoping they would be available in their store.

The site isn't too bad, the navigation could be smoother, the orders on the other hand, are passable, especially on the paints, full of alarmist stickers on the danger of the product, so you can't see anything, which isn't the case on other model sites.

I didn't give 5 stars because everything is perfect except for the paint pots. You have to remove the label you put on them to see the color code reference ( x or xf...) on the Tamiya pots.

Package was 2 weeks in transit. Already sent message 2x but never had response. Very bad!

Response from 1001hobbies
Thank you for your message. We are sorry if you were not completely satisfied. You had chosen the option of shipping by global relay, which is particularly congested during this period. However, the package was available at the relay point from December 16, so it took 11 days for the package to arrive, which is indeed longer than the usual time. I do not know how long it will take to get my package to the relay point, but it remains a cheap solution that unfortunately is not considered a priority, and these variations are common. Have a nice day.

Outrageous. I'm going to ask for a refund because I wanted to cancel my order 10min after seeing it made and had no customer feedback despite my emails. I then saw that you only offered a refund in the form of a credit note with return at cost. This is the 1st and last time I will use your site and count on me to speak badly of your site to my friends and family.
Even worse, I see that I can't give you 0 stars. Bunch of rats.

Hello, thank you for your message and we are sorry for this situation. We haven't seen any mail from our side, we regret it. It is entirely possible to request a refund (not a credit note), but this can only be done if you return the product at your own expense. Please do not hesitate to write to us at [email protected] (rather than in reply to an automatic e-mail) to be sure of reaching us. Thank you and have a nice day,

so, first of all, they never answer the phone then, my order took 3 weeks to arrive, they had lost the package, then they reissued an order, at this time I do not know where it is, then I received my package, the 1st order that was found, but then oh surprise, there was an item missing, surprised they were going to send me another, to make a commercial gesture that I asked them for more, because they hadn't thought of it, they offered me, careful eyes it stings, a voucher for 5 euros, yes 5 EUROS, it scares the hell out of me, apart from that everything's fine.

Hello, thank you for your message, we are sorry for the situation. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday, 10am to 1pm, then 2pm to 5pm. We're currently receiving a lot of phone calls, so don't hesitate to call again if you get a message. I can see that our customer service department did indeed recreate an order as soon as they received your request, and the missing item is also on its way. We'll be in touch with you to discuss a more suitable way of dealing with this situation. Have a nice day,

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Your opinion is very important to us. The shipping by Delivengo can indeed be a little slow as it is considered an economic and non-priority solution by their services... But we're happy that it finally arrived.

The package arrived on time but I paid to have the gift wrap done and they used a small sheet of paper and you can see everything inside.... I had to wrap it myself even though I paid for the gift wrap.... Otherwise everything was ok

Good service but please stop the American sales system of constant purchase offers; it works counterproductively as far as I am concerned.

Easy navigation and wide selection. Good communication. Delay in sending the order but I was warned. Quick response to my emails. On the other hand, delivery by mondial relais sucks. In a bad relay point and too complicated to move it from one relay point to another ... Otherwise I wouldn't have received my order placed on November 23rd for Christmas. In short, I had to go out of my way.

Good responsiveness for ordering and delivery. Small downside, the references are more expensive than the competition. Satisfied nonetheless.

I am not convinced with my item and they do not allow me to return it for free. For my part I will not buy more on this website, high prices and ads that do not detail the items well, at least in my case, and leads to mistake in the purchase.

The site is great, the delivery is fast, but I would have liked a difficulty quota on the item when choosing because it's too difficult a model for me.

1001 Hobbies has been a good source for tough to find European kits from makers like Heller models. While quite expensive, the Euro/ Dollar exchange rate is what it is.
The average rating is because of their awful packaging for overseas shipping.
Wrapping a very expensive kit with nothing but bubble wrap and tape?! Seriously?!
For what I paid in the price of the kits and shipping, I was awe struck by the way my $100+ Dollar order was shipped. I would gladly pay a little extra on top of the prices to have my orders properly boxed.
It's more than a little disappointing to spend this kind of money to have the goods shipped so carelessly.

The stock status indication is unreliable. No information on delays and delivery times was sent to me. Without my intervention, I think I would still be waiting for my parcel. However, following my request for a refund, this was carried out very quickly.

I have ordered multiple different orders with 1001 hobbies for Christmas. The first one was ordered back early November and I still haven’t got it. It is still processing not even out for delivery. I have been in touch with customer service and they told me to be patient. Out of my 3 orders for Christmas I have only received 1. Not sure if I’m going to receive them for Christmas to give as presents. Really disappointed.
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, Thank you for your comment. We regret this incident and apologize to you. I see that one order is being processed for a refund, and the other is on its way. We hope it arrives before Christmas. Keep us informed! See you soon https://www.1001hobbies.co.uk/
