Delivery within 1 week, however, I deplore the incompatibility of the lower and upper triangle brackets with my T2M Pirate XT-C Buggy, even though the website indicated compatibility.

I ordered 3 items listed as available and with delivery in a week, but once ordered, some were listed as to be ordered from the supplier. As a result, the order was delivered 2 weeks late. Having also paid a little more than other vendors who listed the items as unavailable, this annoyed me. There will be no further orders from this site

Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience. We would like to remind you that you placed an order for several items on our site. Some of these items were available and others were available for shipment today. Available means that these items must be ordered specifically for you from our supplier. Available, shipping today means that these products are in stock at our logistics depot in Isère and can be shipped immediately. We hope you understand that your order is shipped in full when all items are ready. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions. Best regards, 1001hobbies

I actually never received the product. I received an empty envelope. I reached out a couple of different ways but didn't get any response back until I went directly to the website. When I did get through, the responses were very fast and I was refunded quickly. So poor choice of shipping packaging, and some delay in getting through but once that happened, the problem was resolved quickly.

Hello, We would like to thank you for your order and apologize for the delay in processing. We understand that this may have been frustrating, and we're doing everything we can to improve our turnaround times. We would also like to remind you of two important points concerning our site: Product availability: "Available": These products are ordered specially for you from our supplier. "Available - dispatched today": These products are in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be dispatched immediately. As part of your order, three products were ordered from our supplier in England, which explains the additional delay for these items. Postage and packing: We inform you that postage and packing are free for all orders over €90. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require further information. Once again, we apologize for the delay and thank you for your understanding and patience. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

Order sent 1 month after payment on items in stock refund of postage above 90 € I had to pay the cost of colisimo and not even a commercial gesture when I am a customer for years and I leave on average more than a hundred euro. I will no longer order from you and will no longer advertise on model forums.

It looks like you can buy something on that site that is readily available but I had to wait more than 5 weeks for my stuff. That is absurd in these times. Everything was not shipped until everything was in stock. There had been plenty of other options (tassels were out of stock apparently) but no communication about it. Had I known this, I would have picked other tassels. The stuff was meant for a project over Christmas break so not amused that it wasn't delivered until February. Be-la-che-lish just like that.

Hello Sir, We regret your dissatisfaction and apologize for the delay in processing your order. We understand your dissatisfaction and take this type of information very seriously. Please be assured that we are doing everything in our power to prevent this situation from recurring. We would also like to clarify the availabilities displayed on our site: Available: means that the products have been ordered from our suppliers. Available - Shipped today: means that these products are in stock in our logistics warehouse and ready for immediate shipment. In the case of your order, the delay was longer because the product was ordered from our supplier in England. Customs clearance is still a complex process, which lengthened the delivery time. Moreover, as this supplier is one of the few to offer this type of product, we are keen to continue offering you rare and specialized items. We fully understand that this situation may have been a source of dissatisfaction. Please be assured that we have passed on this information to the relevant departments in order to improve our processes and guarantee you a better experience in the future.

As indicated in my mail, the order is unusable due to poor packaging combined with a clumsy delivery service. The website: if it says on the website that an article is in stock then it should actually be in stock. Do not send a mail afterwards," we have ordered it at our supplier". Your stock is not with your supplier but with you directly ready to ship. Tinkerers

The items purchased were marked as "available", which made me prefer them ( while costing more than elsewhere ) over other sites where they would be "available to order" ( at a lower price.) Once ordered and paid for I then learned that before they would be shipped they would have to be ordered from the supplier, which extended the time. Had I known that the packages were not immediately fisponable I would have ordered elsewhere and spent less.

Hello, We are sorry for the incident and apologize. We would like to remind you that 1001hobbies is an SME and that we do not have a large enough warehouse to store the 200,000 product references on our site. It is also important to specify two essential notions to keep in mind on our site: Products available: these products are in stock at our supplier and require an order. Products available - shipped today: These products are in stock at our logistics warehouse and can be shipped immediately. We apologize again for this incident and regret that the nuance was not clearly understood. We wish you all a good day. Best wishes to all, 1001hobbies
