Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Merchandice was ordered and charged to my MC account 22 days ago and there has been no follow up It is stuck in Paris France with no movement I will never order from this company again. I've dealt with many online companies, but never have had to wait this long for my order. I'm not even sure I'll ever get this order and plan to send a letter to Capital One stating that I never received the merchandise ordered and want my money credited to my MC account. I'm afraid I have been ripped off for the first time ordering online.

Where are my decals? It's hard to rate something that hasn't arrived yet. I wish I could find a tracking number.

Horrible Horrible service Purchased a photo etch for F6f2 Hellcat on June 29. No where on the 1001 Model Kit web site was there a clear statement that products would be shipped from France!!. On July 6 received an e mail that product had been shipped and I would receive a postal tracking number as soon as available. Never received the tracking number. I telephoned customer service and got a recorded message in French! Sent another e-mail and got response ""will answer as soon as possible."" It is now July 14, and product not received. I live on the US east coast in New jersey so product should have arrived after eight (8) days intransit, unless mailed by boat. Sent another e-mail with the same standard response ""will answer as soon as possible."" I am in the process of notifying Visa that I will not pay the charges to my account because of non delivery. I never had such a terrible experience with model hobby vendors. You are unable to speak with anyone, and recorded telephone messages are in French. I STRONGLY URGE ANYONE CONSIDERING PURCHASING FROM THIS VENDOR TO REMEMBER THAT THE WAREHOUSE SHIPPING POINT IS IN FRANCE AND THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO COMMUNICATIONS FROM THIS VENDOR AS TO THE STATUS OF AN ORDER other than it was shipped. Personally I do not believe this vendor had the product in stock, and never actually shipped this product. If you live in Canada or the USA beware doing business with this vendor. I am resigned to the fact that my money will not be refunded and is lost. WRP Finally on July 18 received merchandise. It had been mailed from France on July 12 and not July 6 as claimed in the vendor's e-mail. The product was ordered on June 29. Had the vendor been honest as to the date of shipment, and answered my e-mail queries, all this time wasting mess could have been avoided. This organization is a mess, never again will I place an order. They are unable to communicate effectively with the customer.

From order to delivery takes way too long! This is my second order with 1001 Modelkits, and again the time from the confirmation to the actual delivery is unbelievably long. My most recent order was made on June 11 and as of this review (July 6) I still DO NOT HAVE IT! It is just a mask for a canopy on a 1:48 scale plane, and yet it cannot be delivered quicker than one month. That is just way too long. My first order was so long in being shipped and delivered that I actually had to reorder the item through another distributor and got it within a few days. Finally my original order arrived, and now I don't need it any longer. Sorry, but something has to be done about processing and shipping orders much faster.

In June 2016 I purchased a set of colors I paid they sent me the invoice but to date I still have not received anything and we are at 06072016. In an email they wrote me that they had shipped to DHL courier but contacted the courier I was told that they never received the package. Unacceptable and thieving behavior.

Still waiting for my purchase Placed an order over a month ago. Had to send an email to get the status of my order and a day later received an email that it had shipped. That was 2 weeks ago. NOT recommended

smooth order processing

Site with quite a lot of choice but 2 weeks late for material in stock and supposedly delivered in 7 days ...and it hasn't left their premises yet....and no return mail...Last purchase that's for sure. On the other hand, they're quick to cash in and quick to register the requested refund on their site...We'll have to see how long it takes, though.

Haven't Received my order yet. Order was sent to old address. I had thought I had changed it in time to get it sent to my present address. Am working with former landlord to try & track down where the package ended up. Not really a critisism of 1001 modelkits, as much as DSL, who could of done a better job checking who was signing for the package

apart from the delivery time, which was not really respected, everything arrived in good condition with no problems.

Have not received good ordered on time. Having to have DHL figure out why they did not have package for pick up. Needed this on time.

A cancellation request ignored and yet sent 6 times and before shipping.

Very happy with the way the order was placed and the delivery. I will be recommending this site and the advice I have received.

The product I purchased was in stock. It took them a long time to tell me that they didn't have it, and they took a long time to tell me that they were sending it to me. On June 8 I received an email saying that they were sending it to me and I am still waiting for it.

I am disappointed I ordered a light blue car as mentioned on my order and I received a pink car.

Foreign Languages on Customer Service, I don't speak Chinese. frustrating. I called to check on my order and got a Chinese message, tried to send online message and it was only in french. ordered 3 weeks ago and i still don't have my package, it took ten days before they even shipped it. no tracking etc etc etc. The worst.

good product samplingbut processing speed needs to be improved

I placed an order 13 days ago and still haven't received it. I paid a surcharge to receive it earlier by DHL and it doesn't seem to have done me any good. I have sent an email to find out something and have not yet received a reply. I am not at all happy

Impeccable service and follow-up - sometimes a shame for the delivery time

Order registered on 21-05 Payment validated on 25-05 Still not delivered (by post) on 08-06 No comm

I will never order here again I ordered on 09.05.16 because the article was not available I have requested a refund today we have the 06.07.16 and my money has not been transferred back until today although my bank details are available. I think this is outrageous, first you are put off and then suddenly there is no response to emails sent. I can only advise everyone to pay via paypal otherwise you will only have trouble.

The delivery time stated in the article was exceeded by 3 weeks. The reason for this was delivery problems at the supplier, although an existing stock was stated. Overall, not a major problem, but customers should be able to rely on the delivery times stated for orders placed at short notice. Otherwise very satisfied with processing and customer contact.

I would suggest providing all the materials (perhaps in an optional kit) so that you do not have to order separately what is needed to make the model. This would be useful as in my case when the product is intended as a gift.

The product search, purchase and shipping was a smooth, efficient and very satisfactory process.

Everything went well, my son was very happy... just to point out that the delivery time is more like ten days.

disappointed by the quality of the model ordered poor value for money i will not order again
