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.

Hello, We sincerely regret your opinion and apologize for the delay in preparing your order. At the time of your purchase, the product was indicated as "available", which means that it had to be ordered from our supplier. Unfortunately, our supplier has longer delivery times, which has led to a delay in processing your order. We regret this situation and fully understand your disappointment. We are doing our utmost to improve our delivery times and better meet your expectations. Thank you for your understanding, Sincerely, 1001hobbies

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.

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
Translated reviews
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.

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.

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 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.

Hello Mr Mougenot, We sincerely regret your opinion and apologize for this incident. We would like to point out that you contacted our customer service department on January 6 at 1:58 pm to express your dissatisfaction with the missing part (the wood glue) and the difficulty in understanding the instructions. As soon as we received your message, we offered to return the model. However, you informed us that you had already started assembling it. Under these conditions, and in accordance with our general terms of sale, we are unfortunately unable to accept the return of a model that has already been opened. We remain available for any other request. Best regards, 1001hobbies
