Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

poor customer service Like so many of the other reviewers, I placed an order on 6/20/15, my order was suppose to ship between 8/7 & 10/7, I have not received my order, my status also has not changed. I've sent emails and received no response, tried the phone number, which has an amazingly short 2 hour window to call, but then I don't speak French so it's useless. This has to be the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

No contact. No return call or email. No shipping or tracking info. I placed an order on 10-1-15 and received an email with the corresponding reference number. Enclosed in this email was the date of delivery being between 10-16-15 and 10-20-15. I also paid an upgraded shipping method so a tracking number would be supplied (UPS). However, no tracking number has ever been provided. My payment was processed and completed on 10-1-15 according to the order status on my account. I have patiently waited till today 10-20-15 which is the last day of promised delivery, but no delivery was made. For the last 3 days I have called the contact number which I only get a French answering service and no return call. I have emailed twice with no response, in an attempt to acquire a tracking number or some form of shipping info to conform some sort of progress is being made. I have also called the U.S. contact for returns in Centerton, AR with no success either. My order status has reflected the same message ""order being processed"" for 3 weeks now including after the promised delivery time has expired. If some sort of contact or explanation is not reciprocated, in the next day or so, I will be reporting this practice of customer neglect, and forwarding a copy of all correspondence to my attorney.

Your material is decent but unfortunately it is not what I was looking for because I needed """""SAMURAI OF PLASTIC """""&colorful""" AND AT LEAST 10 CM""""" Unfortunately I misinterpreted your catalog and no complaints to you. If you have PLASTIC COLORED Samurai OF 10 cm. I will be happy possibly to proceed with a new order. Regards. Mauro Santinelli

The can of paint is as described but for the price I find the capacity a bit small.

I always receive my shipments correctly, well packaged and quickly, but on this last occasion it was a little late, but to solve it they sent it to me urgently and certified, so it also arrived quickly after they informed me of the incident. I will continue

Order placed on 04 october in theory it left on 091015. on 161015 still nothing received. That's a bit much for a supposed delivery time of 4 to 7 days! On the phone, they promise tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, but offer no compensation or solution. I think the store's policy is to charge shipping costs! which isn't right because the order follows the same channels. It's a way of making a bit more profit on the backs of customers. I don't recommend taking the free shipping option. Disappointed

Not only are the delivery times not respected and the goods still not received. After-sales service has still not replied to us after two days. And on an order of €5117, we have been charged €53.56 at the bank, neither seen nor known.

... but too long to explain. I wanted to trust them despite the bad reviews below. In the end, they were completely justified. The big problem is with the order preparation/delivery part. The only positive point is the friendliness of the support person. A

A very good site with a wide choice of models and accessories. But shipping time a bit

always great service and speed

I regularly buy colors of HUMBOL on the site 1001 models to date 13-10-15 I have not yet received order of 21-9 . I chose standard shipping (the least expensive one) because I had no particular urgency but so it seems a bit too much Moreover I have solicited info but I have not received any kind of response I am not convinced I will make more purchases so i becomes safer and cheaper to buy colors in store.

Why announce a delivery date when it will not be respected? More than 7 days difference between the announced date and the delivery date! Non-existent communication! No response to my requests for information.

1st order. Package received in good condition. But that the delivery time is long compared to the indications initially indicated. To moderate my comment 1001 maquettes are dependent on carriers. This will not prevent me from recommending on

pleasant store but not all brands of plastic maqette manufacturers as well as for resin decal kits. Serious about leftovers, they come back when it's available again on their website.

Wishing to obtain some additional information before purchasing a model, I sent an e-mail. No reply. We don't read emails at 1001 maquettes! Well, I'll order aille

Good choice of models and accessories.

I did receive the rails in strong cardboard boxes with paper but the rails were or were fighting a duel apart from that no negative remarks and thank you I would come back Roger Duchat

ordered on September 26, 2015 received on October 08.2015.- better than that.!!!!!

Awful/No Service I can only echo the experiences of many of the dissatisfied reviewers of 1001 Modelkits. I ordered an item on 12/09/15 which was, and still is, listed as ""In stock, Shipped within 2-4 days"". It is now 06/10/15 and no goods. I have emailed them twice on 19/09/15 and 02/10/15 and received no response until today I found by accident that they had left a message in my order history on 02/10/15 that ""Due to an error of one of our suppliers, we are still waiting for the product to be resupplied"". No indication of when that is likely to be and of course the item webpage still shows ""In stock, Shipped within 2-4 days"". I have requested a refund and will certainly never go near them again.

The purchase went well. Only the receipt of the order was several days late. The website contains a lot of products. I suppose that this is why it crashes too often. Otherwise the customer service is excellent. This is the first time I have bought from you. My opinion is favorable and I will be ordering again.

No tracking code received although I paid extra for it much too long delivery time no response to messages.

following a technical problem i had to phone customer service who immediately reassured me delivery in good time i recommend this site which is very professional

Poor communication My order has been processing for nearly three weeks without any firm contact from 1001 Model Kits. The only e-mails I have received are three copies of OTHER buyer's requests for shipping updates and a copy of an inquiry I made before ordering - and that was never responded to - plus it now refers to a product I didn't ask about. All these e-mails seem to automated responses. All I ask for is an e-mail - preferably from a real person - letting me know that my order is in stock and it will be shipping soon . UPDATE: I finally received my order from 1001 Models - nearly two months after my order was placed and paid for. Communication was better over the last few weeks but still below expectations. I can accept delays but only if I'm informed of them. I was still getting comments in my account that had nothing to do with my order.

Order still ""processing"" after almost 4 weeks, no customer response Order placed on 12 Aug 15 for a couple of Eduard PE frets for 1/350 USS Hornet. Emailed at least three times through different avenues, reply to my order email, email through their site, and email through PayPal. No reply from any of those. Phone call to their area code 617 number, French message answer. Left message there to call me. No reply. Called the place listed to return items in Arkansas, which on Google maps appears to be a residence. Left a message on the english speaking answering machine to call me, no reply. Unless I have some response soon, next step is to file a grievance through PayPal, which could put a dent in their sales through that payment method.

NO GOODS Very bad customer service Emailed several times about an order placed on the 15/08/2015 which has not yet arrived They have taken my money and don't seem to want to pay it back as I have requested more than once Like other companies that deal in model kits they just don't keep them and don't up date their web site so mislead you into orders

1 week's delay in relation to the planned delivery dateunacceptable!!!!especially when you pay a 9 euro delivery charge

Humbrol Paint order Did not have all the colours I required ,9 out of 10 is not bad ,the 1 colour that was missing I managed to get elsewhere . Delivery was spot-on so no complaints there either .

The order arrived on time and the availability of models is very high. Excellent.

I'm surprised to find that in 2015 there are e-commerce sites that don't offer order tracking, that take 1.5 months to send their products into stock, and that turn a deaf ear when you send them an email asking for explanations. 1001maquettes: to be avoided at all costs!

Very poor quality - return to dispatch immediately

On 2772015 I purchased and regularly paid goods never received.The most shameful thing is their silence limited to two emails ''We will contact our logistics'' INEFFICIENCY OR REAL SCAMMERS? Contacted constantlyileguided constantly
