I waited over 1 month for my order although a delivery time of max. 1 week was stated. I wrote to support and only received a reply days later. But the product was good

I ordered a low-wind kite, not in stock when ordering, but it seemed ok to wait for a week. Somehow it seemed not possible to get it in a reasonable time. I had ordered an additional cheaper kite, on one hand it would make the delivery free, on the other hand the item could be a toy for my kid. I ended up only having the 'toy-kite' AND having to pay delivery cost. On top of that I had to 'yell' at them to get the full refund (minus delivery cost for the cheaper item I was much less interested in...). In summary not a satisfactory experience.

Ordered on 18/07/23, delivered on 03/08/23. According to a manager, it takes a minimum of one week per delivery, 16 days to get my order, TO BE IMPROVED. I tried 6 times to contact them by phone, impossible, nobody picks up. I've left 3 e-mails, the last one with my phone number, and I've been answered. TO IMPROVE

They list items on their website they don't have. I don't want to say it's a scam, but it's pretty close. They disregarded my email instructions regarding my order and took their own actions. Very disappointing.

No luck with this order, three months for delivery after two phone calls and two emails with no response, so yes, just one star, and I will no longer be a customer of this site.

A stock order taking almost 14 days instead of three days. Probably 1001 hobbies had to order the product from Japan first and then send it to me. Really sad when the item is listed as stock with the mailbox package also having to cost at least 6.95. This was my first and also my last order at 1001hobbies.

My pre-order became an order, I received my product very late despite being assured that my product was in stock. In the meantime, the price of the product had dropped by 2 cents (a difference of €100), and I was assured of a refund, which took me 2 months to obtain. The information I was given on the phone was contrary to what I had on the website, and finally I received my product, although I was told that delivery was still 4 months late, and I was offered a cancellation and a refund of my order. Otherwise, the product (Vecna statuette) is perfect.

When I placed my order it was supposed to ship within 1week. After 2 weeks I received my order. My messages on your site were not responded to. You guys are even slower than aliexpress. I will never order anything from you again. Worthless mess.

We ordered a helicopter for our son. The packaging had already been opened once and the remote control was missing. Tears flowed at the birthday table. My son asks me every day if I have reached anyone at 1001 - unfortunately not. I am now getting the money back via Paypal. Never ever again.

Run away! Deadlines not met, customer service in freewheel mode: unable to do what's asked of them. A lot of stress and fruitless e-mail exchanges. A horror! All this to find myself running to find a replacement gift at the last minute, when I had ordered 2 items in March for an important birthday in June... Help!

Telephone service is unreachable, so lousy if you want to respond to your order. After returning to the mail, there is still no response after over a week. Bad service I think ... The order was delivered, unfortunately with a damaged box. Again, due to the aforementioned, I can not make contact.

If I have received the order mentioned in the Subject, I am extremely disappointed. Of the fifteen pots of Tamya color, only two are identified, and the others have no reference. As I'm not color-blind, I don't have any trouble distinguishing between green and yellow, but it's less obvious between different shades of the same color. A simple mark with a felt-tip pen would have sufficed and wasn't time-consuming. This was my first order and I'm afraid my last.

first and last experience with this merchant. my account is debited when the item is not available, the "parcel" is sent by carrier when it does not weigh 20 grams, the carrier delivers to a relay point that I did not choose in short, very bad ...

Hello and thank you for your feedback, which is very important to us. We are very sorry if your experience was not satisfactory. Concerning the availability of the article, it is generally indicated on our site: either it is "in stock" and available immediately", or "dispatched within XX days" in which case there is a little more waiting. Occasionally, a product is being restocked, in which case the lead time may be extended. In such a case, don't hesitate to contact our customer service department by e-mail at [email protected], who will be happy to answer you. Concerning the weight of the parcel, I'll pass on the information: indeed, a simple letter could have sufficed. Finally, concerning the choice of Mondial Relais, we can't do anything about it: it's a problem that concerns Mondial Relais and one of its relays that must have been saturated or closed, which forced you to change the address. Have a nice day!

I am very unhappy, this is the second time I have ordered from this site and both times there have been delays in delivery. Product ordered on June 16th received on July 8th. There will be no third order. For a site that recommends buying French, you should be able to deliver within 3 days maximum. Comprenne qui pourra !

Error in your stock, I would have liked to have been contacted rather than having to do it myself, worrying that I would receive nothing. No follow-up, it's a shame.

Hello and thank you for your message. We are very sorry about this situation. Indeed, when a supplier updates the availability of a product, and a fortiori when a product is unavailable, we do not receive any notification. We're currently thinking about a way of obtaining these updates to be more proactive towards our customers. Have a nice day!

It is that I received a voucher for this site otherwise I would never have ordered through this site. But it turns out they are scammers.
1. Free delivery from spending 100 euros, quite high but with such a store you're soon there anyway. I order here for 160 euros and use my vouchers. But they are not seen as money but as a discount code so you still have to pay shipping costs. Ridiculous 2. You order some things, half of them are delivered, namely all the small stuff, but you can forget about the big and expensive kit. If you then contact the customer service you get a response if you can send pictures because it should be in the box. Responded twice now and 2 weeks later and never heard anything back. Never buy anything here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello and thank you for your message. We are very sorry about this situation. I see that an email was sent to you from our customer service on 28/06, but it has not been answered. Can you confirm that you received this email? Regarding shipping costs, there are several conditions required to benefit from this: it is only when shipped by Mondial Relay, and under the condition that the dimensions of the package meet their standards. For the missing item, I will inform customer service again so they can keep in touch with you. Have a great day!

Your comments and suggestions are therefore very important to us and we take them very seriously. We are sorry if your experience was not optimal. One of the products, Flex Set, was indeed awaiting restocking, which explains why the parcel took a little longer to be dispatched.

Nothing delivered yet.The order was May 10.The delivery has been on the way since May 22.Reply to my message about it sometimes taking longer.Haven't had a reply to my last message yet.Calling is often in vain.I know that because of a pre order I'm still waiting for.I'm really sorry I ordered here.
So bad contact and so long in transit I do not even know if it arrives. I think the good resencies are deceitful when I came with difficulty to the bad I was shocked and I find it shameful that they do nothing about it. It's not that the delivery is cheap or something just more expensive than most. For me not understandable that a company does nothing about it. 1 star is 1 too many

Hello and thank you for your message. We appreciate your feedback. I am really sorry that the situation occurred beyond our control: it seems that the product was misused.

So far I have received 3 out of 5 items that were ordered a voucher and credit note. I have sent an email however no response yet. Collector's items has arrived in less than mint packaging so generally unhappy and unimpressed. How can a pre order item be awaiting a restock? Don't write cheques you can't cash!

Shortly after placing my order, I had a snag that would prevent me from being there the week following my order. So I immediately wrote an email while the order was still being processed to ask them to postpone the delivery date by specifying the date of my return home. They replied that the item was not yet in their possession, but they were waiting for the delivery which would happen in one to two weeks and then ship it. Reassured that it would take a week minimum for supply and a few days for shipment, I did not respond again. From one day to the next, my order on their site went from "being processed" to "being delivered" without even receiving a notice that it had left their warehouse. So I rewrote an email explaining that I had previously written that I was not home and as a response I received an email saying that they had sent the package and a summary of the delivery information. In the end I personally contacted PosteItaliane shipping service and they helped me with my order. 1001Hobbies LOW SERVICE!!!
