Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

I would not recommend the purchase: I made the purchase, a week later I received by mail the status of the order indicating that it would arrive in a few days. Unfortunately a month later it had not arrived. Along the way there were more than 5 unanswered emails from 1001hobbies. Better choose other suppliers.

I waited more than two weeks for my order to be taken into account, then it arrived a few days later, and in the end I didn't get everything I ordered: 3 items out of the 5 basic items, instead of taking a larger box, it will be in two packages.

order received after 5weeks in damaged package after several mails about delay and 1 mail that my address was unknown.contents pa.kket was not damaged

This company did not ship my order until a month after it was ordered. It was only when I requested to cancel the order as I had to order from somewhere else that they decided to ship it out!
The customer service team were not good or helpful.

love the product it just took so long!!

Wanna waste your time with customer service barely replying? Plz buy from them then bc I bought an item from them and haven’t received it ever since and it was back in April haha love that

I am very unhappy because I have not received my order after one month but you did charge it.

Did not receive my package (it was shipped to Germany with LaPoste, where can that be?) no response to the support ticket , no one answers the phone.... never buy anything from here again!

The product arrived 15 days later than the originally agreed-upon delivery date. Unfortunately, they didn't proactively notify me about the delay or offer an alternative solution. I had to initiate contact with them to inquire about the reason for the delay, and their responses were consistently vague. The items I purchased were intended as a birthday gift for a family member, but I was unable to give them on time due to this delay.

My experience was quite bad. Before buying the product I asked for information to make sure, in addition to taking time to satisfy the mail since by phone impossible, they tell me one thing and then send another (I have it all in writing).
They take a long time to serve order and now to return a thousand laps since obviously they have not sent me what they said it was .... sorry but in my case I can not say anything good about them.

After-sales service not really responsive for me

1 month delivery or almost ...

I ordered some paints, which were available at the time I placed the order, the shipment was delayed because 1 then 2 items were missing, so the shipment took a long time, but was still well packaged, except that, I don't know why, they stuck labels on the paint cans, and it was no longer possible to read the reference, so yes, I know the difference between white and black, but I ordered several shades of brown, and frankly I'm having trouble finding the right references, even with a color chart, I would have bought 1 time from them

Crazy site and they made a mistake in the delivery address. Very bad store to flee from....

I bought a product 7 months ago and I still don't know when it's going to arrive, or even if it's going to arrive or not. It is supposed to have been shipped 5 weeks ago, but apparently they are supposed to bring it on foot. The only positive thing is that when I write an email to find out how things are going at least I get an answer.

Answered queries quite quickly but did resolve issue to my liking

Battery came late and did not work….. with a dead battery

I placed an order and only received a third of it, as the rest was unavailable... what's more, some of the figurines I ordered were packaged in the wrong way and the packaging was damaged (despite my note in the comments to pack carefully and not to bend the tabs on the boxes). Only the customer service lady I spoke to on the phone was very understanding and helpful. Well done to her, because the rest is unsatisfactory...

Bad company

Hello, I'm very unhappy with my last 3 paint purchases, why? there's too much thinner in the paint pots which makes the paint too liquid and does a poor job. the worst is the enamel brown gloss 80 pot which contains 2/3 thinner. I'm thinking of changing paint brands. Best regards. M.GUILBON.

Website made out they were a British site by charging in GBP and posting a U.K. number. The total cost included VAT. Found later they were based in France and the VAT was French tax. Ended up paying 40% as HMRC charged another 20% on arrival. HMRC told me as the product was sold and exported to U.K. it should not have been subject to French tax. Told the company but not answer. Please be aware before buying from this company.

Today is 8/23/23 and I have not received my Futaba antenna. It was o ly $30.00 or but still. When I contacted the company I was told I shipped it cheap way so it could not be traced. Guess I'm the money. Customers....BEWARE!!!

The product is missing parts, has paint residues and the box is open, and it has taken 15 days to arrive.

The products really aren't that great. There's tape on the joints and the plastic is really light. As for service, when you mark a product in stock, you shouldn't have to wait two weeks for delivery. We need to improve on this last point.

there are no detailed french assembly instructions inside, nor any other assembly instructions, very disappointed for a first order.

I ordered a red car and a blue one arrived!!! I sent you a message ...No answer!!!!! Not a very serious shop!!!!!

it does not protect products during transport

Delivery takes a long time - incorrect status updates

I strongly advise against this site: the product purchased never arrived and customer service doesn't even reply - or, when they do reply, it's to knowingly give false information (e.g., to make people believe that they've received the item and that it will be shipped soon) and then to postpone the next shipping date once again... In short, a scam to be avoided unless you want to waste time and money!

Out of stock not notified prior to purchase. I've seen several notices after buying notifying this. When I bought a figurine, I told myself that I would exceptionally take a direct home delivery and pay a little more so that it would be quick (for a birthday). Result: Order received a little over 2 weeks later, even though the delivery date was ANNOUNCED at the time of purchase, a few days later. I don't recommend this site and won't buy anything from it again.

This is my 2nd order with 1001 Hobbies. The first one went smoothly, but for the last order, an item was missing from my package. On my account, the missing item was supposed to be in the parcel (no separate shipment or later notification) and no note in the parcel. The same day I sent an e-mail to the website address and to this day I still have no reply from them (parcel received on 09/08 and it's now 13/08). I don't know why my item was missing from my parcel, nor whether it will be delivered soon or not... I still have no answer even though my order has been paid in full! I'm disappointed with the after-sales service! I haven't even received an acknowledgement of receipt, after sending my query by e-mail, stating that my request had been processed. Will I get my money back? Will I finally receive my parcel? I'm still in the dark and I don't think this is right and professional.

Too long. One week to process an order before shipping. Buying from France is fine, but ordering from abroad is quicker...

The client service did not respond by phone as well as no answer via web site forms. Even thought there is a great product catalog, description I am doubt I will ever try this webshop again.

Goods were broken. All glass bottles. I sent photos. But I still had to send everything back. It all took weeks. Then one product was no longer available. I never received the remaining amount! Despite a request. Communication is the worst. Once a problem arises here, everything is pointless.

I received my last order very late. Deliveries are much faster from E Bay and AMAZON. I will not buy from you again.

Today, August 11, I am still waiting for my order, which was scheduled for delivery on August 1. According to what they tell me, as I chose the untracked shipping option, if I don't receive it in about a month from the due date, I will contact them again. What does the fact that you choose the untracked shipping option have to do with the fact that the order will arrive on time? Please clarify this for me, the order is paid for.

I ordered 2 items. I only received 1 of the items and was charged for both items.

Received a wet and ripped package, damaged decals and instructions, and support has had 36 hours now and no reply, so i'm left not happy at all. I have paid 11,5 euros for the delivery special of it being brought through the carwash on the way to me, so how am i to feel other than disgusted, was excited to build my F-8 crusader, but now, i man... meh. the delivery having ruined it has kinda ruined it for me as well.

The quality was good but the expectation of this item being an actual backpack was a huge letdown and waste of $100 when I still have to go buy another backpack

Order has not arrived and when I notified the company the response was less than pleasing. Right now, not happy at all with 1001hobbies and unless the error is rectified will never give them business again and will dispute the charge on my card. I do hope that things will be settled properly.
