Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

My order was supposed to be dispatched in 2 to 4 days (yes, I did read the delivery times when I placed the order...despite the question marks...). We are now at 20 days and the order is being prepared. In the end, it won't be for my son's 12th birthday, but for his 13th :) with the added bonus of a poster that should make up for the disappointment. Will the order ever arrive?...Ã

Out of 2 cans of hobbinox paint ordered, one was empty of gas.

Items always as described. Great communication and fast shipping for a overseas company. I'm alway satisfied with this company.

Shop somewhere else, they're terrible. Horrible customer service. I paid for an order with expedited shipping for items they had listed as in stock. After two weeks of no order updates or delivery, I sent an email. They told me that the in-stock items I paid for had to be ordered from elsewhere and would be arriving in another week or so. I asked for a refund for the expedited shipping. I had to contact them again for them to notify me that my package had been shipped. Still no refund for shipping difference. This company sucks. Customer service is atrocious. They don't care about their customers. Avoid them at all costs.

Accidentally created an order Accidentally created an order, tried calling, no response on either USA number. Sent an email, got a very professional reply saying that they would cancel the order and I would get a refund within 14 days. Sure, sounds great. Except that I got a notification from the delivery company saying that my package is still arriving, and 1001 Model Kits has not responded since regarding the package or refund status. The package is now waiting at the delivery company's office and I have yet to hear back from them. BTW, their website changed the price from $20 on like 4 payment screens, to $140 on the very last payment screen, for a $14 item (that weighs about 1oz). (it seriously says $125 charged for shipping on the email I received). I'm assuming it's a software bug and they dont intentionally swindle people... but the fact that they shipped my item, despite telling me they would cancel my order within 24 hours of placing the order makes me think that they're running a scam. At the very least, it doesn't feel like their customer service works very hard to make things right.

Order placed on 2301 it is now 3001 and still being processed!!!! When will it be delivered? Apparently I'm not the only one!

order the 19122019 received the order on 24012020 disappointed for the delivery after 1 month more i had to phone several times very disappointed not normal to wait so long

Piece much too small to handle. Breaks easily. Result after 3 days... to the recyc

The amount of the order was debited on 2001, whereas as of today, 2801, it is still being processed with no scheduled delivery date. It's not very commercial to deduct the total amount of the order when it hasn't yet been fully processed and delivered.

Not only did you make a mistake in sending me the stickers but after I sent them to you immediately I still have not received a refund albeit a small amount and it has already been 20 days with various excuses. I will definitely not do business with you again.

Too expensive.... much too expensive In comparison with other French sites I find the motorcycle models even ref 40€ More expensive at 1001 hobbis example on the Yama

No Shame! Oh dear..beginning to regret my order after reading site reviews. Ordered 6 days ago and no update on order status still showing processing? Sadly For a quick and reliable service it's probably best sticking to eBay/Amazon.. Lol! Ok So it's my fault. I should have known. No change here..still regretting ordering from these people. BF United Kingdom These people have no shame! Sending offers for £5 off my next order Lol! What makes you clowns think I would be foolish enough to order another thing from you! My original order was placed on the 21st Jan.. One thing at a time, how about u send me my original order first.

I paid 65� for express shipping from france to switzerland and still waited 20 days for my package to arrive. Even though all items were listed as available. Prices are with tax included but they shouldnt if the customer is outside of France. (In the End i paid around 413$ for the same item i could have gotten from Ebay for 320$ with faster shipping and less trouble. Thats why i rate it Poor for anyone who lives outside France. But what i also have to say that the items arrived in perfect condition and everything was okay. Customer service was also really nice and helpful. But still....

Zero satisfaction I found an interpreter to be able to understand what was being ordered but nothing at the end after a long wait the product arrives but it is not what was requested I don't think I will place more orders

The advert talks about fast delivery and advisers at your service... Ordered on the 10th, received on the 24th, is this a fast delivery? Called N""conseillers"" to ask for a quote (compressor material etc...) I was told to send an email. Email sent on the 13th, no reply to date. Is this advice? Advertising is good... doing what the ad promises is better

I received the email 2 days AFTER I had... I received the email 2 days AFTER I had posted my review on not getting my refund. I realize mistakes are made HOWEVER I still find this unprofessional because I should not have had to wait this long for something I paid for a long time ago or get my refund. I do appreciate you saying that I'll get my refund which I hope and pray that I'll still get soon hopefully.

Order processing - very long. Why do you sell things that you don`t have ?

NOPE NOPE! I will NEVER again order from them. I ordered something a LONG time ago for my husband's birthday and still never showed. I've reached out to them a few times and each time they said it was coming. This last time they wrote back and said unfortunately it's a loss. REALLY?? Super unprofessional !

Absolutely terrible customer service March 2020 update: Still waiting February 2020 update: Several weeks later, after claiming to be processing a refund, I am still waiting. Absolutely terrible customer service, waited a month for an item that showed as shipped only to be told they marked as shipped as a mistake with no resolution. Even in their reply below, you can see how half hearted their customer service is. I never received even an apology and am still waiting for a refund. Do not purchase from this website. As you can continue to see below, they have never even attempted to apologize, just more dumb jokes. This was a late gift request from my nephew and I was thrilled to see in stock here because it was sold out everywhere else. Instead the order stalled after a couple of days, reading as 'shipped' with no update or communication. Not everyone is in on your brand of humor, some people just want to buy a thing and have it delivered to the address provided in the time frame that was given at check, you know, like how all e-commerce sites work. Not this one though, they will not deliver your order and think they're cool with insider humor while doing it. I'm sure whatever self-important reply they have next will only continue to show how little they care about their customers. Literally all that needed to be said, was 'We're so sorry, we will process a refund' or you could have provided any update to shipping when something was clearly stalled for about 3 weeks on an order that should have been delivered within one.

ORDER made on January 07 and paid called the14 response package blocked because it lacks a product in agreement we change a ref and the package leaves tomorrow either!! the 16 recall the package has disappeared we keep you informed my 88.30 € have not been lost for everyone reference: 189742 and a disappointing birthday the 17 for a friend forced me to turn to Amazon you will understand that I do not vou

On December 27th I made the purchase in which it said that it would take 8 days to arrive and today I still have not received anything and the woman who attends in Spain all she does is to give capotazos and not make it clear where it is or how long it will take.

Service rapide et fiable vers le Royaume-Uni

I have already replied and my review has been deleted. Delivery not in accordance with commitments (delivery to a third party instead of my home) despite my presence at mo

Hello Great choice of parts---> good! Availability indicated on the site---> good! Actual availability ---> very bad! Order placed on 29.12.19 we are today 12.01.20 and nothing received. Several telephone exchanges with nice people but everything is complicated! My delivery address at a "point relai" doesn't seem to be taken into account...what can you do when you're not at home during the day...?! That's why I asked and insisted again and again to be delivered where I wanted from the start, i.e. at a relay point! I request a refund for items not yet dispatched as soon as possible! Thank you for taking this into account so that I can also take this into account in the future.

The order took longer than indicated. When it arrived it turned out that we had made a mistake with the order due to a bad description of it. We had to contact the support in France because the one here did not answer. Their response was basically that I made a mistake.

HelloI placed an order at the beginning of November which was never sent. I asked for a refund on November 28, the very day they confirmed that my order had been sent...I then cancelled it and since then I've been waiting for a refund for over 6 weeks...I'm very disappointed and I no longer trust this site. I don't know if I'll ever get a refund... I don't recommend

I placed my order on December 18 and it still hasn't arrived, even though they said it would be delivered before Christmas. I should have read the reviews before I probably would not have ordered it.

I paid €22 for express delivery (1-3 days as stated) and waited 3 weeks for the parcel. Annoying when it comes to a Christmas present. I also received no apology or money back. Lg Claudia

I ordered a model kit on the 19th of… I ordered a model kit on the 19th of November picking the express delivery for it to be here before Christmas and it has still not arrived I have emailed then and spoke on the phone saying the item isn't it stock which it should state on the Web page and shouldn't allow you to pay extra for delivery when they don't have it I will not be ordering from here again really bad customer service not happy at all
