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 !

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!

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

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!!!

My Valissant, In your order was a product in the form of a "Pre-order" A pre-order is an advance purchase that allows the customer to reserve a product before its official release or availability in stock. For the 1001Hobbies online store, a pre-order allows the customer to secure the purchase of specific products directly from the manufacturer or supplier. Pre-orders are subject to the vagaries of manufacturing, manufacturers' unpacking, etc. We are not responsible for delays. The dates communicated are those transmitted by the manufacturer at the time the item is put on line.

Very bad evaluation, products arrived open, one product missing, lack of customer service, below are the dates and events that happened: 16/05 placed the order, the products were listed as available on the site 22/05 after a reminder, they indicate to me that the order has not been processed because one product is missing and they tell me that it is in restock and I can wait. After not even 10 minutes they tell me that the order will only be partially filled because they will not restock it. I accept but ask for a refund on PayPal for the missing product, in the meantime I notice the different negative evaluations and at 5:16 pm of the same day I request the cancellation of the order. 23/05 as soon as they open they tell me that the order is not cancelable(which is not true because the order is being processed and has not yet been delivered to the French post office) in the meantime to the requests for the refund they tell me that I can at most return the product and request a refund, but not the shipping costs, among other things the return costs are also my responsibility.
25/05 the order is started to process by the French post office(after I reported these delays to PayPal) 29/05 the order arrives packed at best(badly), the products are opened and not sealed in cellophane, which would have been impossible for me to make the return because the gentlemen of 1001hobbies want the product packed and sealed...
31/05 thanks to the help of PayPal I manage to get the partial refund that I had asked for.If you buy from them do not use the card or transfer, use PayPal to which go 5 stars for assistance against these pseudo sellers.Absolutely negative experience, I have already reported the fact to the play associations to which I belong, I think we will not use them again.

Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, thank you for your message, which is very important to us. I see that the situation has been less than optimal, but I would like to draw your attention to several points: - the fact that we do not use cellophane is a conscious choice to avoid adding unnecessary plastic to the environment. In 95% of cases, the cardboard we use is more than enough to adequately protect the boxes. However, we will forward the information to our warehouse, but please remember that you can send us photos to verify the condition of the boxes upon arrival to [email protected] if this is an issue. - I can confirm that the package was prepared on 05/23/2023 at 07:08:51, well before our store opened. Unfortunately, it is not possible to cancel an order once this status has been set, and I am very sorry for this. In any case, I understand your dissatisfaction. I wish you a good day.
