I have not received the complete order. The spray primer is missing and I have not received any explanation. Therefore the material delivered does not work for me. Very disappointed with the customer service. An explanation would have avoided this situation.

The Hama Beads product is the usual one I get from other sites, but the delivery was too long, compared to others who deliver in two days. Waited three weeks and had to pick up at store they indicated. Company based in France.

Product was delivered much too late and also damaged, communication with 1001hobbies is incredibly slow and they still do not offer a solution. Been busy for weeks now.

I have not been informed of an out-of-stock situation I am not refunded for the out-of-stock product but I am stuck with a credit note (does this comply with the regulations or the general terms and conditions of sale, I don't think so). No response from 1001hobbies to messages sent via the customer account.

Shipping was quick and trouble-free. But, and this is a real problem, it's a model to be assembled and all the instructions are in a foreign language (German - English) whereas the whole site is in French and I didn't see that there was a warning on this point. I complained and the site offered to return the equipment. That's a good thing. But I have to pay for the return whereas I consider that the responsibility is on their side. We'll see if they actually cancel the sale... So it's been a calamitous experience.

I had placed an order on 18-01-24, After the order a few items turned out to supposedly have a 1 to 2 week waiting period. On 18-02-24 I was tired of waiting and wanted to cancel the order. At first they pretended not to understand what "cancel" means and said the order would not be complete until 27-02. After I kept insisting that I want my money back,they had quickly shipped the order incomplete against my wishes. Since the customer service is lying to you and apparently has no qualms about taking money out of your pockets with worthless service, I had turned to Paypal and refused the package in advance (I received an email with return instructions that I would have to pay the costs as well, they are a bunch of idiots). Now that Paypal is watching, after many emails in which I kept repeating myself, they finally agreed to refund my money. The package was only delivered back to the sender on 24-02, and now I'm still waiting for my money (220 euros). In short, a shady company run by shameless crooks and liars, who will try anything to get money out of your pockets.

False delivery date. They delivered 4 days late, without any prior communication of the delay. They did not accept, at the beginning, to return the package and refund the amount. In the end yes, but late, very late.... Very improvable service.

The excessive delay in shipping generated additional costs and logistical complications for me to receive the purchased order. I live in Argentina, I bought so that the order could reach a relative in the USA, calculating enough time for it to reach this person before traveling to my country and bringing it to me. The shipment to the USA was delayed, my family member traveled without having received the order, and in the end I was able to receive it by arranging the shipment to my country by another means with additional costs. Furthermore, when I requested the return they wanted to charge me for shipping costs, with the business being responsible for the time it took for delivery.

I ordered 2 models of the French Bee aircraft. The delay was very long. But above all one of the two planes was broken a rear wing I am disappointed with my purchase. I therefore give it 2 stars. Yet in its original box!

Incomplete item. Unsealed box Telephone reply: not our fault (well, I'm summarizing, I'm surprised I'm still as calm as ever). Result: rubbish, I should survive for just under 17 euros. Correct delivery. Never order from them again.
