Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

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.

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

The product arrived without some parts promptly reported to me was knowing what to do, still on Monday, then no one was heard from again

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.

delivery too long

The order received does not correspond to what is indicated on the 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.

I placed the order on the 10th and have not received it yet.

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!

I did not receive the item I ordered.

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.

Good for management Improve kits. Cutter a bit light Medium brushes. I have better Raphaël brushes.

Delivery took a very long time; battery broken; now I am supposed to send the defective battery back so that they can see what the problem is; I ordered the product in May and have not been able to use it until today in mid-July; who knows what will happen next

After five weeks , which is super long , I finally received the order . half of the stickers were short . too bad , but I have not seen me again . I sent an email , but got no response to date .

The packaging was terrible and obviously the display case was broken, I claimed it and never heard from them again.
