Hello,
Thank you for sharing your opinion. We understand your frustration regarding shipping and customs fees. Indeed, these fees are beyond our control and are largely related to international regulations. We strive to offer competitive rates, but unfortunately these fees can sometimes make the experience more expensive, especially for international shipments.
We appreciate your feedback and look forward to providing you with a more pleasant experience in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or specific requests.
Best regards,
The 1001Hobbies team

The model is fine. The paint set is bad (some jars are half empty and dry, others are filled with too much water). Delivery time is very bad (1 month wait).

Delay of 2 months in the shipment of 6 products, 1 is incorrect and 2 others are missing for shipment. A real failure on their part and I am also not satisfied that the products sold to me at the beginning of January are now asking me to place another order to replace them with others. I am not satisfied with this solution. I want a refund for the money paid for the products not received and also for the incorrect order received.

Good morning, We sincerely regret this incident and apologize for the inconvenience caused. When placing your order, you selected 6 products, 3 of which had a long delivery time and needed to be ordered from our supplier in England. Due to these ordering times, your order remained blocked until it was 100% complete. To accommodate you, we unlocked the order and shipped the 4 available products. At your request, 2 undelivered products were refunded. Additionally, as soon as you informed us that the received product was not suitable for you, we immediately organized its return and proceeded with your refund as soon as possible. We hope this solution meets your expectations and we remain at your disposal for any further questions. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

The product was marked "available" when I ordered it ... but I waited 15 days before receiving it. A misleading and regrettable statement
Translated reviews
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello,
We apologize for the delay in processing your request. We would like to draw your attention to two important points on our website:
Products indicated as "available" are currently on order with our suppliers for our customers.
Products marked "available for dispatch today" are in stock in our logistics warehouse, and are dispatched within three days.
We regret that the distinction between these two statuses was not clear to you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Yours faithfully

I placed an order at the end of October for 3 gunpla, one available immediately, another had just been announced as being back in stock, and the last one was on pre-order, with an estimated delivery date of November. 2 weeks later, just after the withdrawal period, the deadlines were changed, nothing was in stock, everything was postponed to December and January. I'm told to be patient, that one of the models is a very popular product and that if I cancel I lose out, and that in any case, no refund is possible because the right of withdrawal is obsolete. I have to be patient, it's a Christmas present, almost 300€ that I couldn't offer. In mid-December, the deadlines were extended again to the end of January and the end of March. I contact the company at the end of January to ask them to send me a separate shipment, which I would pay for if necessary, as soon as each model is available (I remind you that 2 of them were available in October 2024), as there has been no change in the delivery dates, but they tell me that no, they won't be available. I have no communication on my order tracking, I go on the site, the delivery dates are now for the end of July 2025. As a contractor myself with orders for equipment and supplies abroad, I still wonder about the seriousness of this company and their online stock management, in addition to significant price differences when 2 identical products are sold in their shop with sometimes 15€ difference for the same product, and an evasive customer service that wants to show you that you are not in your rights.
In the meantime, I've been robbed of 300€, a disappointed relative who doesn't understand my apology for his Christmas present and thinks I'm blatantly lying to him so as not to give him anything, and a lot of stress caused by this situation. I'm beginning to think I'll never see the color of these gunpla.

Hello Sir, We sincerely regret this incident and apologize for the situation. We would like to point out that the product MG 1/100 FREEDOM GUNDAM Ver.2.0 - Shipped within 1 week was indeed available from our supplier. However, we unfortunately took position too late to expect delivery within this timeframe. The product is now available for pre-order, with a new release date of March 28, 2025. The other two products, Gundam Gunpla MG 1/100 Providence Gundam and Gundam Gunpla NG 1/100 15 Akatsuki Gundam, were on pre-order, as clearly indicated on our website. Please note that pre-order release dates are subject to change without notice by the manufacturer. In accordance with our terms and conditions and the information on pre-orders, cancellation is possible, but will incur a cancellation fee of 25%. However, we study each case individually and are fully aware of the importance of the quality of service we wish to offer our customers. Regarding the order split request, we offer this option at no extra charge for orders like yours. We understand our customers' impatience and do our best to offer maximum service. As far as price differences are concerned, we match the prices of our various suppliers. We work with more than 50 suppliers to offer a wide range of references and to satisfy our customers to the best of our ability. If you wish to cancel your order, simply send an e-mail to our customer service department. We will get back to you within 48 hours. We thank you for your understanding and remain at your disposal for any further questions. Best regards, 1001hobbies

Hello, We apologize for the delay in processing your order. In fact, all the products in your order were in "available, shipped today" status, with the exception of the M5A1 with 4 figures, which was available but needed to be ordered from our supplier. The delay you noted therefore corresponds to the delivery time between our supplier and our logistics depot. We would also like to remind you that there are two concepts to take into account on our site: "Product available": means that the item is referenced on our site but must be ordered from our supplier. "Product available, dispatched today": means that the item is in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be dispatched within 3 days. We apologize for any confusion and remain at your disposal for any further information. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

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.

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.
