This transaction was really weird. The order was done via eBay. It took forever to arrive--3 weeks. I tracked it, and discovered that item was if I never bought it, AND it showed up $20 more! Very confusing. I actually thought I didn't REALLY order it! Then poof, it arrives on my doorstep days later, in a huge box! The item box was only 11 inches long and 3 inches tall. I could have fit at least 6 of those boxes (air to air missiles for F16 models) in that 1 huge box. No wonder the shipping charges were so high! I feel like I have been ripped off a little bit because of the shipping. Unfortunately, they were the only ones that carried this item so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do when I need item again for my special needs son of 30 years.

Finally received after an uncertain period, no track and trace working properly. I am not yet convinced to order here again, maybe if the service improves.

Not very good stock management, as the order was placed when one of the two pieces was no longer available. No customer follow-up regarding supply, the customer has to call the site again to get news. On the other hand, the refund was made without any constraints and within a reasonable time.

Good morning, Sir, The product was in stock at our supplier, so we destocked it, then when it arrived we sent your product through SDA, which explains this delay.

Order received, great packaging etc. Only point of note is the lack of communication after ordering. After I placed my order on the website there was no confirmation that the order had gone through or was in process, something almost all other websites do. Eventually, after some searching I found all the details on the site itself but a simple email after an order is often enough to let them know that the order has gone through properly and is being processed. Now I spent a time waiting in uncertainty, which was unnecessary.

It was frustrating to wait three weeks for my small purchase of paints. No models, no glues, nothing but paints. I guess one should expect some time lag for items purchased from Europe but next time I'll look domestically.

Site is fine to use. Just a shame that you can order items that are not available (afterwards). If you opt for a refund, a bridging period of 14 days is generous. Contact by phone is not easy, due to a language barrier you have to make more effort to explain your "problem". Delivery seems to have been without any problems.

Good product, only shipping costs I find too expensive ( 7 euros is a bit ) sometimes I want to order extra things afterwards, but then the shipping cost is very expensive to order.

They had a stock of three units and I bought them, but after more than a week with the order in preparation I found out that they only had 2 left. Having to be behind people who do not know how to organize their inventory should not be my job. Having to contact me to be told that they have a problem with my order when a simple communication with - We are sorry but we do not have what we have sold you - could be enough. And they have not refunded me for what they have not sent me. Thieves. I will not repeat nor recommend this site.

The offer gave the impression that the pilots were painted, but they weren't, which is a shame. A small hint would have been enough for the price.

When I received the parcel, one of the paint cans was open and the paint had spilled into the envelope. A second can was badly closed and half emptied. :(

Something totally different was delivered than what I ordered!!! A bag with a pair of ball bearings was delivered from Tamiya instead of a model kit: totally incomprehensible. Moreover, I paid extra for express shipping. I am curious if the company will correct this without extra cost to myself. The company was immediately informed of the mistake, so far no response has been received.

I had to wait more than 15 days for my order to be shipped even though everything was in stock and available. The Colis Privé service used ėt sucked. I was warned that the driver couldn't find my address, something I don't understand, I live in a small town, not a remote country place. Now it's up to me to travel 25km to pick up my parcel at a relay point. Not happy at all.

Mr Hartley, Thank you for your comment. When you placed your order, we informed you that the wood glue was not in stock. We then split the order so that you could receive the other products.
We regret that the private parcel service did not meet your expectations.
Thank you for your understanding, 1001hobbies customer service.

Happy with the purchase, but the product was indicated for immediate shipment, in the afternoon, and finally left after 6 days, after 2 unanswered emails and several calls, only 1 of which was answered. It was to be offered on Tuesday, but arrived on Wednesday.

I actually had two of the same items ordered from them. They were shipped separately by 1001 hobbies. The first package was fine. The second arrived damaged with the items box partially crushed. Be aware that they are shipping from France, not Michigan.
