One thing, the packaging was crushed and the model box was damaged - not the first time this has happened to me.

Had ordered and game, unfortunately I received it in French instead of the English version as described. Fortunately customer service helped me well and I got my money back in full after returning it free of charge.

Product marked available but you are only informed after ordering that it is available from the supplier... Model box damaged due to fragile packaging ... Very long delivery times

Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, We sincerely regret your experience and would like to inform you of our processing times for this order. We would like to point out that there are two important concepts to consider when placing an order on our site: "Available" products: these products are in stock with our supplier and we order them for you. Products "Available - dispatched today": these products are in stock at our logistics warehouse in Isère and are dispatched the same day. After verification, here's what happened to your order: the F-22 Raptor was ordered from our supplier based in England. As such, the delivery time is 4 weeks, mainly due to customs clearance, which can be complicated. We apologize again for any inconvenience this may cause, and assure you that your opinion is very important to us. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

I placed an order beginning of December for making some christmas decorations. 1001 hobbies were so kind to wait 2 weeks before sending it with the result that it all arrived after christmas. Absurdly poor and stupid level of service! The one star necessary must be for not charging extra for keeping it on stock for the two weeks.

Order received well. Tracking good and clear. Delivery only took longer than expected, product said "in stock", but it was in stock at supplier, so it had to be ordered from supplier first.

A good selection of kits but delivery took over a month.
It appears that they don't stock some items themselves but have to order them elsewhere.And that can take a very long time.Very annoying if you had thought you could start your kit soon.

I bought two products 15 days before Christmas and it said they would arrive in a week. They did not arrive when it said, they did not notify me. After several unanswered calls I was told that they would arrive after Christmas, but in addition to being very late I only received one product. Bad communication and a disaster with the delivery. I ended up getting my money back for the other product.

The item I was looking for was sold out everywhere, only 1001hobbies indicated they still had stock and could ship within one business day. Therefore, I ordered the item from 1001hobbies. But after ordering, it was indicated that the item had to be ordered from the supplier first. This took 3 weeks. All this time the website indicated they still had stock. I find this deception. Also never had a response to my question about the order.

Madam, We sincerely regret your experience and apologize for the delay in processing your order. You placed your order on 02/01/2025. It was dispatched on 03/01/2025 via Colissimo. Unfortunately, this parcel was lost by their service. As soon as we were informed of this incident via your call, we immediately proceeded with a new shipment of the same product by Chronopost.

Please be assured that we will do our utmost to avoid this type of problem in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or require assistance.

One detail: I ordered model paints with brand and color references. I would have liked to have been informed that the brand requested was not available, and replaced by acrylic paints which apply less well.

Hello Sir, We regret your experience and apologize for the delay in processing this order. We confirm that the order will be shipped today. However, we would like to inform you that it will not include the Revell paint kit, which has delayed preparation until now. We have therefore issued a refund for this product.

Hello, I would have put 5 stars if the order, declared available, had not been delivered in 2 times, the second time being 15 days after Christmas... Too bad. Sincerely, R.C.

The thing about these people is a joke. They send me an open product with a missing component, I claim for them to send me an unopened product, they reply that they do not have stock and it is out of stock and that they will see if they can find another supplier to send me that component. If we look at the return policy of the company, it clearly indicates that if a package is open they do not accept it, but nevertheless, they do send an open and incomplete one. And when I get serious and tell them that I want to make the return and recover the full amount of money, they answer me that ok, they accept the return but that the transport is on my account. Unbelievable. At the moment I order the bank to return the charge of the card and I will send them the product if they bear the transport costs. It is a problem generated by them.

Hello Sir, We regret your feedback and apologize once again for the situation you have experienced. However, we would like to clarify a few points. You ordered a Futaba radio control, whose box is meticulously weighed before shipment to ensure its contents. However, you contacted us to say that you had received a supposedly opened or second-hand product with the receiver missing. This seems unlikely for a product in this range. Despite this, we immediately contacted our supplier. They confirmed that they had shipped the missing receiver directly to your address to resolve the problem quickly. Unfortunately, you did not accept this solution and preferred to request an immediate refund. We simply asked you to return the remote control once the receiver was received, in order to limit the shipping costs between Spain and France, which are significant. We remain at your disposal for any further information and hope to be able to clarify this situation as soon as possible. Yours sincerely 1001 hobbies

Do NOT order anything from this company. I ordered some model paints on 12/27/24 and received a used, EMPTY, folder on 1/10/25. Had to email them twice to get a response for a refund and now I have to complete and sign an affidavit and wait for an investigation. Horrible service, stay far away from this company.

I bought a body for an RC car and not only I got something totally different, but all I have problems to change and send me the body. Trying to talk to them by phone is mission impossible and the shipment has to be by Correos or you have to go to get it yourself!!!! Never again!!!

I think you guys did a great job in timely delivery despite being international shipment. But the only problem is the "humbrol enamel thinner" was leaking 90% of it is leaked out because I am guessing customs guys opened it and didn't close the lid properly. But I am ok having that 10% left. At least my daughter's painting project continued without any impediments.

I am very dissatisfied.
Delivery guaranteed according to the site before Christmas .
Delivery on January 10th .
I can hear in this period that there are delays but do not guarantee your deliveries to continue to take orders knowing that you can not meet your commitments.
In short, once the delivery has been made, no apologies and nothing. I ask for a gesture for the delay (I could have cancelled the order or sent it back) and then they send me an e-mail offering me (with an e-mail explaining my good luck) 5 euros as a voucher on a future order (my order was 110 euros).
Who are they kidding? I don't panhandle, so I'll leave you your 5 euros and buy my figurines elsewhere.
