I ordered 3 items listed as available and with delivery in a week, but once ordered, some were listed as to be ordered from the supplier. As a result, the order was delivered 2 weeks late. Having also paid a little more than other vendors who listed the items as unavailable, this annoyed me. There will be no further orders from this site

When you don't need the order right away, it's okay. It does take a tremendously long time for everything to arrive. Be patient.

No decal sheets in the box. Despite my calls and messages, no news of a shipment of the missing plate, an exchange or a return. I'm furious.

Hello, We would like to thank you for your order and apologize for the delay in processing. We understand that this may have been frustrating, and we're doing everything we can to improve our turnaround times. We would also like to remind you of two important points concerning our site: Product availability: "Available": These products are ordered specially for you from our supplier. "Available - dispatched today": These products are in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be dispatched immediately. As part of your order, three products were ordered from our supplier in England, which explains the additional delay for these items. Postage and packing: We inform you that postage and packing are free for all orders over €90. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require further information. Once again, we apologize for the delay and thank you for your understanding and patience. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

Order sent 1 month after payment on items in stock refund of postage above 90 € I had to pay the cost of colisimo and not even a commercial gesture when I am a customer for years and I leave on average more than a hundred euro. I will no longer order from you and will no longer advertise on model forums.

It looks like you can buy something on that site that is readily available but I had to wait more than 5 weeks for my stuff. That is absurd in these times. Everything was not shipped until everything was in stock. There had been plenty of other options (tassels were out of stock apparently) but no communication about it. Had I known this, I would have picked other tassels. The stuff was meant for a project over Christmas break so not amused that it wasn't delivered until February. Be-la-che-lish just like that.

We apologize for the delay in processing your order. We would like to remind you that there are two types of availability on our site: "Available": these products are ordered specially for you from our supplier. "Available - Shipped today": these products are in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be shipped immediately. As indicated in your order confirmation received on the day of your purchase, 4 of the products ordered could be shipped immediately. However, the product 516 PCS HC WWII /3110/ DUKW AMPHIBIA required an order lead time of 2 weeks, which explains why your order was delivered at the end of January. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, and we thank you for your understanding. Best regards, 1001hobbies

As indicated in my mail, the order is unusable due to poor packaging combined with a clumsy delivery service. The website: if it says on the website that an article is in stock then it should actually be in stock. Do not send a mail afterwards," we have ordered it at our supplier". Your stock is not with your supplier but with you directly ready to ship. Tinkerers

The items purchased were marked as "available", which made me prefer them ( while costing more than elsewhere ) over other sites where they would be "available to order" ( at a lower price.) Once ordered and paid for I then learned that before they would be shipped they would have to be ordered from the supplier, which extended the time. Had I known that the packages were not immediately fisponable I would have ordered elsewhere and spent less.

Hello, We are sorry for the incident and apologize. We would like to remind you that 1001hobbies is an SME and that we do not have a large enough warehouse to store the 200,000 product references on our site. It is also important to specify two essential notions to keep in mind on our site: Products available: these products are in stock at our supplier and require an order. Products available - shipped today: These products are in stock at our logistics warehouse and can be shipped immediately. We apologize again for this incident and regret that the nuance was not clearly understood. We wish you all a good day. Best wishes to all, 1001hobbies

Hello, We regret your opinion and apologize for the delay. You have ordered products (PG053 or PG052) which are particularly difficult to obtain. These items are delivered to us in dribs and drabs and are immediately placed on pre-order as soon as they are no longer available, which is precisely what happened in your case. We apologize once again and assure you that we will take good note of this information. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

I've had a few problems with this site recently. When I accidentally placed a duplicate order (keep an eye on the quantities in the basket), I immediately reacted by sending messages and e-mails. I did receive one copy, but I've been waiting for a refund on the other for almost a month. Another example of my perennial dissatisfaction: when I was unpacking a model, I realized that a decal sheet was missing: I sent them a message, they replied saying they'd take care of it... then nothing. Now I wait...

Hello Sir, We regret your opinion and apologize. The refund request was made on 16/01/2025. At the time of your request, we renewed this request. The accounting department told us that it was processed within the legal deadline, i.e. 14 working days. Is this the case for you? Sincerely, 1001hobbies

I received the wrong items after delivery was already late. Instead of two bottles of Thinner, I received 2 small jars of paint. I contacted customer service & it took two weeks for a reply asking for pictures. Another 3 weeks has passed since I sent pictures. I've asked for an update but have not received an update or a reply. Customer service is poor AT BEST.

the webstor origins cartoon ver action figure appeared to be available, but it was actually to be ordered from the supplier. when it finally arrived, i got the surprise that the card back was bent 90 degrees at the blister level. if i wanted to resell it, i would have to do so as loose. fortunately, 1001 hobbies caters to collectors, who notoriously demand the perfect box...

The whole process was a disaster and full of problems. From the delivery, which was not on time despite paying high premium shipping costs, it was delivered more than a week late and at a different address, I had to search through all the mailboxes on the street. I had to search through all the mailboxes in the street. I am still in the process of returning it and I can't get a refund and close the incident. The only good thing is the customer service via email, at first it was fast, then it stopped being fast too.

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.

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.
