Fast shipping, order conforms, but do not validate the delivery with mondial relay! Delivery not in the right place (50km from my home); packaging really destroyed! A bon entendeur !

Our order arrived in two instalments - which we appreciated - but with a delay of over a month, which was not expected. Then, thanks to our telephone intervention, we were able to obtain satisfactory explanations. Our satisfaction is mixed.

An item in my order arrived damaged, so I emailed them immediately but received no response. A follow up email to a different email address 4 days later with photos, invoice and delivery note also received no reply. I’ve sent 2 further emails to both customer service email addresses in the vain hope I can get the issue resolved but again I have received no reply to either. It's now 29 days after I received the order. I’ve no other option now than to lodge a complaint with Paypal. Good customer service isn’t difficult but it seems these guys haven’t even heard of it. Disappointed, as this is the first bad review I’ve ever left for a company.

I paid $45.99 extra for express shipping to make sure the order arrived before I left the address I was at at the time. When I remembered to check, 1001hobbies never sent it. I emailed to cancel the order because I would not be at that address by the time it would arrive - in fact I would be out of the country, but instead of cancelling the order, they happily announced that they just sent it. I complained again after it arrived, explaining again the situation and saying now I have bother a friend and pay international shipping if I want it order. I also said I would never order from them again. So 1001hobbies replied offering me free shipping on my next order! So just a play to get more money out of me instead of compensating me for my extra expenses. Very unpleasant experience and I do not at all recommend this company.

Only 3 stars because the delivery took a little too long for my liking (and I didn't hear from 1001hobbies during that time) and although the cardboard packaging was undamaged, the box containing the model was damaged, but fortunately the contents were unharmed.

Very good on time ordering, especially if for a gift. Available article turns out to be from third party. At least then correct article arrived.

There is poor order tracking... if we don't ask where our items are, we wait without any news... and on top of that, the items are out of stock 4 weeks after placing the order and without any compensation!!!!

My first order included a model that was missing parts to which I received a credit that was immediately absorbed on unasked for express shipping. The mistake ended up costing me more money than if I hadn't had a discount at all and it was sent by regular mail. No clarification on the back office change was given other than it happened "thanks to your [my] discount."

Customer service and shipping are an imposition. Alleged German customer phone is redirected to France for a high fee.

Following an order placed on 18/10, I have only received part of my order and I am still waiting for the other part on 22/11. On the other hand, the full amount of the order was debited from my account on 19/10. No information until I contacted them by phone.

All products are very nice. Only thing is the HB-AO06167 is showing as die cast on the website. This is actually a model kit :-( Also, when I sent an email to inquire about the scale of the item HB-AO06167, I never received a response back.

On the product itself, it's OK, except that it was a return from a customer, so it's not new! It's OK, so we'll pass.... On the other hand, the advert to sell it stipulated, promo!! Free shipping, but in reality I had to pay €20 more..... And that's not glop !!!

Delivery date does not match what was on site (in stock). Received package only after more than 2 weeks.

Hello, We thank you for your comment. We have 142000 references on the site, and you will understand that we cannot stock 142000 references in our warehouse. Therefore, a part of our stocks is kept at our suppliers. This explains why two weeks can pass between your order and the reception of your product. We apologize for this delay. @soon customer care from 1001hobbies.

Product was good, price was good. Delay in shipping ( due to current circumstances) ok, the bad part is the tracking process and there is no good contact customer service.

Generally ok but received an unexpected delivery cost of £68:51 which was not mentioned when i ordered. Also, USP demanded payment before handing over parcel, but they wouldn't accept a cheque (still legal tender) i don't do online banking and so had to find cash. pretty annoyed by both extra cost and UPS.

Absolutely worst scam I have ever fell for. And to think you would even tell me to pay to send it back for a refund. First I did not know I was buying from a foreign company. Second, the product looks nothing like what I ordered from.
Response from 1001hobbies

Finally delivered yesterday (long delay due to UPS and the broker in the UK messing about AFTER it had cleared customs. 1001 hobbies had already CHARGED me to use PayPal! Never had that before, from any supplier anywhere!! Then, on top of the VAT charged in France, I also got a massive import charge. So my order ended up being over £500+. I have to assume/hope the item will be 100% OK…not opened as it is a Christmas present. I don’t know if I could have ordered this anywhere else…but if I could have I would. Will never buy again from a seller that uses UPS, they let you down BADLY, so the whole experience was a bad one. Have never had so much messing about, and I ship from all over the world.
Response from 1001hobbies
Dear customer,
First of all, we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
Indeed, our company 1001hobbies is located in France (Paris). Therefore, the VAT charged in France may be significant in your country of origin.
This also explains the delivery time to your address.
However, the customer service will come back to you to solve the problem due to the import charge
Kind regards,
Customer Service.
