Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

the model and bacler les finition nul

Never again the company 1001 modellbau I have paid and got nothing more capitalistic is not possible. Helmut Seichter Erfurt.

Order placed on 2801 also paying extra to have expedited shipping part of the goods received on 2802 after continuous requests for timelines and explanations about the lentency of the supply. Last product of the order arrived on 0404 after my express request to receive at least the products in stock. Only explanation received ""error on the part of one of our suppliers"" and uan promise of discount on next shipping charges. Final verdict very bad no comprehensive explanation received luckily I had chosen express shipping.

Unfortunately, the prices are exorbitant and the selection is too small for my needs.

Good company, but suffers from slow shipping and customer service response. Good company, that shipped my item well protected. However, one item was out of stock, and it took them around two weeks to let me know. In that same time, I placed orders with their competitors, got notification of shipping and received my order. When I inquired about the delay, it took a couple of days to get a response. They need to tighten up these areas to really be first class. That said, depending on the item and my need, I would consider ordering from them again.

First purchase on this site and disappointing

Hello ! It's all in the title... Fabien LENFANT 4 impasse dupleix 62480 le portel

I have already said everything in one sentence.

Long delivery time From order / payment to delivery takes far too long and no clear tracking information other than ""parcel shipped""

Long delivery time From order / payment to delivery takes far too long and no clear tracking information other than ""parcel shipped""

transport too expensive !!!

waste of time and money Hey, I would like to share with you my worst buying experience I've had so far , here are the details of the case : I saw many publications in magazines of models building from about 1001modelkits.com , after I checked and compared prices and seeing positive reviews online I decided to try and do a purchase from them. the site seem very impressive and serious , with huge stock and tempting prices - including low postage. I made the purchase at 7.3.14 and according to the site terms it has been said that the shipment will be sent in no more than 48 hours. After several days that i did not received from them any email to document the purchase (which I usually get right away from my experience from buying in many websites) I contacted their customer service department and after a few days I received the following laconic message : "" Dear customer , Rest assured that we do our best to deliver our customers quickly. You will receive a tracking number as soon as the package is sent. Best regards, Customer service 1001modelkits"" Since the message said nothing about delivery time, estimated shipment or reason for the delay (all products were marked as available and in stock ) I tried to contact again to their customer service department with email's and direct messages to their online services but until now I did not get any response or any replay . this looks like just a scam to rub you out of your money!

I paid and received nothing tvisarl@wanadoo.

For an order placed on March 2, I still have no news on the evening of March 11.

No orders delivered to date

It is ultimately just a ""word-of-mouth". It simply collects an order and passes it on to the manufacturer. In my case the order referred to an Italian site the product arrived after a few more days from France. Also found the Victory then on the official Revell site in the online shop at just over $25 practically bought on an Italian site to pay three times as much. Next time I will be more careful

I find that compared to other competing sites the prices are abnormally high (see for example the Heller Royal Sun 1100 sold at nearly 60% more than normal (among others)). In addition lead times are very long (allow 3 weeks) and moreover items advertised as available are not always proof of a poorly monitored stock situation;Taking OUPS as an example is a tip to follow. Frustrating organization for a model builder looking for accessories to improve basic kits. After 15 days of waiting, I finally finished the model in progress before receiving these famous accessories.

I have been waiting 6 weeks for my item I have nothing yet. I have paid in advance. Finally after 7 email they reply saying that it is a fault of the supplier and they are still waiting for the product. This is strange because on the stock of 1001modellbau it says that the item is more than 15 and 25 ouf stock and available. So i like this will take many months i hope they will refund my money. What would 1001modellbau think if they had to wait months for their money? That can't be right!

Order placed and paid on February 22 today March 6 is still in processing. Sent email but no one shows up!!!!

Good afternoon MRW has not left us any notice or contacted us at any time. I honestly don't believe anything they tell me. This afternoon I will go to the office to see if the order arrived or not.... And let's see how long it takes for them to return an order of this type.... I don't want this order anymore. What I want is MY money back NOW! If I didn't post the comment I would have never heard back from you. Gentlemen, it's been almost two months and you should be ashamed of yourselves! Fidel. Today March 13 I try again to contact 1001maquetas. by this way because they have not contacted me nor have I received the order nor have they returned my money. I think it's enough of so much teasing. This situation is unacceptable! I truly believe that I have been swindled and therefore I am forced to initiate a claim through the official channels. Below users can read the first message sent through this channel. I have paid for something that I have not received. Of course I paid for the order, i.e. I paid for nothing. I have tried to contact 1001maquetas several times without success. The only thing I have left before initiating a claim through the official channels is to explain my problem here to see if someone from the company sees it and contacts me. For that person I leave the order number: 32709. And the order was validated on January 23rd. Let's see if I have luck and soon I can write again that everything has been solved. F

incomplete order no answer after cont

Order placed on Feb 10 and immediately paid by credit card on Feb 25 I am notified that the item is no longer available and that I will be refunded the amount. I ask for a credit note x make another purchase and no response is given to me.... Not first but certainly last purchase I make on this site. Previous purchases of available material have also been very slow to arrive!

Order placed on 19-02-2014 as of 26 -02-2014 I still don't know anything.Emails of explanations sent with no response of course.The order still appears to be in processing and no tracking number has been provided to me. At least they would deign to tell me whether my package has left or not. First and last time I buy here!!!!!!!

Failed to deliver, refund eventually received. I ordered a decal set 31st January. 11 days later received an email to say item not yet dispatched but that it would be posted within the next few days. This was not acceptable to me so I email back requesting the order be cancelled and my money refunded. 4 Days later I receive an email to say my item had now been mailed. I again replied to say my order had been cancelled. On 23rd Feb I had neither received my refund or the product that had allegedly posted to me so I opened a dispute via Paypal. A refund was then received the following day. Very poor communication throughout - not a happy buying experience.

My case is simple, I order two models and I only get one of them. I tried to contact them explaining the problem and I have not had any response .... and it has been 10 days. Given this lack of response, I do not recommend anyone to buy any item through this website.

I'm not happy with 1001 maquettes. I placed my order on January 31st and it hasn't been delivered, even though my account has been debited...

I ordered a model car to assemble for a birthday party. The website mentions a 48h delivery. The package actually took about 10 days to arrive, which was after the birthday! The car is actually very small, I was expecting something bigger. I certainly won't be buying anything from

Nearly 10 days after the order still nothing received after more than 2h30 of telephone waiting enamelled of several hang-ups to the systematic nose one deigns finally to speak to me by making me well understand that I e them ..... Unacceptable sales and delivery behaviour. Ghostly after-sales service, abusive shipping costs, in short, a seller to be avoided. Pay him preferably with paypal in case of problem possibility to open a dispute is to hope for a refund If the package is lost. With paypal, if a dispute arises, the seller must provide proof of shipment. However, 1001 shipments seem to be random and not their main concern, so taking a few precautions is essential, and it's not over yet. After 2 complaints, 1 phone call and 1 e-mail, they promise delivery but forget to say when. I'm afraid I've invested too much and never receiving my model seems extremely risky.

out of three planes bought two are without the plastics for the cabin windows shameful!!!! I will NEVER buy anything again!!!

I placed an order on 12012014regorally paid with bonificotutti products available!!a oggi (0102) mi vedo cancellare un prodotto perché non disponibilelo same that still remains available in the catalog..e io ho aspettando quasi un mese per poi vedermi modificato l'ordine..non ho parolespero almeno in un rimborso visto che sono andati oltre a tutte le condizioni di vendita pubblicate sul sito.

Content of an e-mail sent by me to kontakt@1001modellbau on January 29, 2014 but not yet answered: Dear Sir or Madam, About an hour ago, the Italeri C47 Skytrain 1:72 model kit I ordered from you was unfortunately delivered by DHL in a miserable condition. A truck must have driven over it (see attached photos!). You can no longer build a model from this kit! Since I paid in advance via paypal including the transportation costs, I expect a delivery in proper condition. What happens now? I expect a reply e-mail from you immediately. With (still) kind regards Walter Schmölling I hope to receive a response here!

Payment for an available kit was accepted 9 days ago then no more news. Solicited by email no response. What are they up to? This behavior is unacceptable: they collected the money where is my model?

WELL RECEIVED MY ORDER QUICKLY BUT FORTUNATELY I'M USED TO MAKING MODELS BECAUSE 2 OUT OF 3 ARE EITHER IN RUSSIAN OR ALL IN ENGLISH . MOREOVER, WITH EACH ASSEMBLY ON EACH PAGE THERE ARE NO COLORS INDICATED ON THE PARTS? REFER TO THE PACKAGING? NOT HABIT! I'LL BE HESITATING ON THE NEXT CDES!? TOO SIMPLE AND COMPLICATED AT THE SAME TIME?

I ordered on January 17th. I was debited on January 17. 5 calendar days (3 working days) later, on January 22, I received an e-mail stating that your order no. 32571 had been dispatched and that you would be receiving it shortly. On January 31, there was no delivery notice, no delivery, no news. Your telephone service does not answer you are unreachable. I expect a return from you within 24 hours and a commercial gesture on these 2 orders which total more than 340€ TTC. Cordia

Hello, since you're asking for my opinion, here it is: I'm surprised that I haven't received my order yet, since I've placed orders for similar products on other sites and they've already been delivered. On the other hand, I'd like to congratulate you on being much quicker than your competitors when it comes to direct debit. However, I hope that I'll be delivered, even if I won't be taking legal action for a small loss.

Order 32661 dated January 21, 2014. The kit arrived on February 6 after a full 16 days despite being marked as immediately available and shipped with DHL. Above all, communications with the customer are deficient: responses to my numerous e-mails about the status of the order have always arrived several days late. One does not run an e-commerce site this way: a customer should be informed promptly especially if his shipment is delayed for any reason.

NOTHING BUT LIARS AND THIEVES Placed my order for two items that were stated as in stock with a delivery in 10 days from their US store. After I finished with the PayPal payment I was sent a conformation email that stated the items were overseas and to expect 15 business days for delivery. The items would be sent to their US location and then mailed out from there. They stated that the process to arrive at their facility would take 7-9 days. Already being frustrated with being lied to I emailed the company on day 10 to find out the status of the order. Their response was ""It appears that two of the products you have ordered is unavailable and unfortunately we do not know when it will be again. Following your request, we will refund USD 48,49 on your credit card or Paypal account.""At no point did I ask for a refund nor was there ever a refund! I ended up having to open a Paypal dispute that was escalated to a claim which I was awarded the money. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS ONLINE RETAILER-THEY ARE NOTHING BUT LIARS AND THIEVES!
