Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Order never delivered

1 month to deliver three bottles of tamyaet paints you have the courage to offer me a discount for my next order if it exceeds ..... A competitor helped me out in three days.

The ability to communicate with the customer in their language and with accuracy on delivery of the product ordered is paramount in this business that crosses oceans and languages. The products selected had either one or two weeks for delivery for each. I totally understand wanting to ship the whole thing as ONE shipment vice more than one plus waiting for all products to arrive at your place to ship as one package...BUT this was never communicated to the customer. Nor did the package tracking ability work, once the package arrived in the customers country. Your "expected delivery" was April 25th (well after two weeks) yet it didn't show up, unannounced (and I was on travel) until March 2nd. I asked twice via email what the status of this shipment was and your replies never clearly answered said questions, only said you were "sorry". I just wanted to know when to expect this, track its delivery and ensure it wouldn't sit on my porch or mailbox for days until I got home as I wold have made arrangements for its pick-up. I did get an email from you saying it was delivered (which it was) when I was 2500 miles away from home...
I like your product selection and your prices were reasonable. If you can better address the above, you will have a fine company to order from.

Unfortunately, I would have to say that my experience with 1001 Hobbies is bad on the basis that I ordered an Eduard photo etched sheet and received a large model kit. Although to be fair they have responded quickly within normal working hours to rectify the problem which appears to have arisen through both items having the same reference number.

Correct order. Navigation on the correct page although the prices are not cheaper than in the official store so next time I will do it there. Very bad shipping. Paying 7,5€ for a shipment weighing less than 1kg and waiting 11 days when it is specified that the delivery will be made in 4 (since everything was in stock) seems to me very bad. For delay, this shipment costs 2-3€, not 7,5€. And also the envelope arrived broken and completely wrinkled and the goods deposited inside with little security, receiving blows and so on.

1001HOBBIES sent only 1 car while I had paid for 2. I had to put so much energy into it to get my money back. 1001HOBBIES was very difficult. 1001HOBBIES only sent 1 car while I paid for 2. I had to put so much effort into getting my money back. 1001HOBBIES was very difficult.

Bad nothing to say more delay of more than 3 months on my order no answer of the sav concerning the progress of the things and absolutely no commercial gesture.

I ordered my package two weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived.

Fatal, not recommended at all, the delivery was delayed 6 days after waiting a week, almost twice as long, on top of that the product came wrong, the one I ordered was a size of 8cm and they sent me one of more than 34cm. On top of that they put impediments to make the return, all bad, I do not recommend it.

Long arrival time, expensive transport costs, expensive product, good condition of the product, that's all I can say to your davir and good packaging.

A disaster, unacceptable delivery time, no communication, in the end I received 3 out of 4 items ordered and it wasn't even the right size I ordered, a disgrace.

Incorrect information on stock status, product availability too long. Staff not very helpful. This site already suffers from a bad reputation in the model-building world, and its team does nothing to try to improve its image, even when they receive comments on how to improve their site, which they ignore. When there's a problem, it's always the customer's fault, not theirs.

Product received with detached parts (detached wheels). I had to cancel the payment card since it was linked to the shipment a fee to be paid by mail to receive the product.... in the post office to pick up the product I was notified of the non-existence of such tas.

It wasn't clear that something was out of stock. So I would order, end up waiting a month, then have to ask for a credit. Happened twice on the same original order. In fact, I don't think I have ever received the masks for the Revell Wiking seaplane. Frustrating. Plus, the turn around for email requests is several days.

was sent the wrong item and they still have not sent me what I ordered. Have tried to contact them but no answer. would like to order more from them but will not use them until this problem is fixed. So far just lip service on their part.

my order was 2,5 x 1000mm threaded rods, please specify that they should be straight in comments - they arrived totally bent in a 40x40 cm box in which it is impossible for them to be straight - they are useless to me money wasted.

I received damaged paint pots at home. 1 jar broken and therefore the other jars under the paint and not visible what color the jars have. During contact via email you indicate that it is your fault and not ours. You should take the paint back, but refuse to do so. Not nice to the customer. Solve something like this . so the rating is a -5

No technical information, long delivery times

missing the black color but 2 pots of yellow? many parts twisted because the plates are loose and not separated from 1carton or other I point out that there is no yellow apart from the headlight tube of glue too small.

Got only part of it, sent email to support without getting any reply.

Ordered paint specifically as the web site (and my order details) stated it was in stock. Two weeks after order I enquired about the delay, an update was told 1001Hobbies was still getting some paint from their supplier (I.e. not “in stock”). Three weeks after order I requested a refund as there was no progress, but was told that a refund was not possible as my order was now being compiled. Order was finally delivered more than 4 weeks after the order was made (and after I had given up waiting and purchased the paint from elsewhere.). I was not impressed!

Very bad opinion, I received a different product than what I ordered and unfortunately this happened twice. I have returned the product and am still waiting to hear back regarding its replacement or a possible refund

I am sorry but twice an item was submitted that was not what was requested. Despite repeated reports nn the inconvenience has been remedied.

Very long delivery times

Website is fine but aftersale is not good. Bought airbrush that did not work properly. But they could not do anything for me because the airbrush was used once and then the article could not be returned.Strange because you have to try such an article once to find out that the product does not function properly. I have now just ordered new parts elsewhere at my own expense. I don't think I will be buying anything here anytime soon, too bad because they have quite a lot of items.

Very long delivery times

I overpaid for it to arrive earlier and it arrived much later. And they did not want to give me a solution

I didn't receive my order SCUBFJLKQ correctly. One Item was missing, then I sent an e-mail on 16/03/2023 explaining the situation and received an automatic message saying that the service 506065 was opened. But so far I didn't get any answer from 1001hobbies after 5 days.

Great selection, high prices, no response to an email.

Did not receive what I ordered, small unpainted parts were delivered 🥴

The delivery did not contain one of the products purchased and I had to insist a lot to finally get the information that the product was no longer in stock. It would have been more honest to inform me that the product was not availableK.

One of the products I ordered was not listed as out of stock but turned to be out of stock anyway. I wanted to decline the order of the second product since it is useless to have without the one that was out of stock. I mailed the service team with this request and to ask for a refund but received no response and the second product was sent to me anyway which I have no use for. Very dissapointing!

Product arrived broken after taking almost a month to arrive. Emailed customer service on march 1st, got a response saying someone would get back to me (most likely automated) and still haven’t gotten a response on march 17th. Product cost me $30 with shipping, very disappointed. The mug was a gift for my dad and we still haven’t even heard anything about if they will send a replacement or refund me. Do not recommend.

I still haven't received my order. I sent a sworn statement that I had not received it. Since then, no news. I've been ordering from this site since 2014, and I find it strange not to hear from them at the slightest hitch.

Very poor customer service.
Advise everyone not to buy from them. 4 months waiting for my refund.

Order in good condition but non-existent customer service and delivery time of approximately 1 month.

Weeks of delivery time

Just received the package with the order I placed on 27/02 and opening it I found an unwelcome surprise: instead of the ordered model in the package was a card game in French. Considering the fact that I placed the order exclusively to have this model, which is now not even available on the site anymore, and that I don't know what to do with the card game, I wonder: how do we solve this problem? I have tried again and again to call alnumber but after two or three minutes of waiting with the recorded voice no one ever answers and you are invited to call back later. I wrote to the contact address, but again only the automatic reply.... Of course, the "Customer Services" chat on your homepage doesn't work either: you press on the button and it gets stuck on "charging" indefinitely.
Update after a week: I finally managed to contact the company: an operator from abroad answers who is unable to get the picture, gives with pre-cooked answers and the only thing he manages to do is to activate the procedure for return and refund. I was assured by phone that I would be contacted by the shipper to pick up the package at home but, reading carefully the voucher sent to me for shipping I realized that I had to take the package to the Iteliane Post Office. Result? An hour in line just to place the package at the counter. WORST.Today, exactly one week after my shipment, I still have not received feedback from the seller.

Not clear on website what language the product is in.

Order placed on December 9, 2022, received on March 10, 2023, i.e. 3 MONTHS and 1 day, nothing to add.
