What was ordered and what was sent were two different things, I am trying to organise a return because what should have been a 20cm figure ended up being a poster

I ordered two items that were "ready to ship right away." Apparently they weren't because I received only one and the second one "due to computer problem" is not even listed in the order even though I paid for it and have a confirmation from PayPal - also the replacement order is for WRONG item even though I explained multiple times which item arrived and which is missing.

Response from 1001hobbies
Dear customer, thank you for your message. Indeed, I see that the order contains only one product, but it does not correspond to the amount. We are very sorry about this. I will contact customer service to ensure that the correct missing product is sent as described in your email. Thank you very much.

Delivery took ages and when arrived item was damaged. Contacted them for a replacement and they are refusing to do until I completely destroy the item! Never had such a request when proof has been sent that it arrived damaged. Avoid them AT ALL COST!

Hello, thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is a request that we have to make officially in order to respect the suppliers' request and the French law. Do not hesitate to come back to us by email [email protected] so that we can send you a new one. Thank you!

Very disappointed with my purchase. My order was missing an item in the parcel and a second received broken and therefore unusable....
Ordered for Christmas and received a month later, gift missed And finally after sales service non-existent, I'm still waiting for a response to the complaint I made ... I would say only one thing to flee!

Wide choice of products, but doesn't bother to reply to emails about orders placed, and shipping is much slower than with competing model-making sites. In short, a store to be avoided.

Hello, thank you for your message. I see that we replied to your e-mail of January 3 on January 4, informing you that the parcel had indeed been dispatched on the 2nd, the day after your order, with receipt on the 6th, 4 days later. If our competitors can do better, then good for them :) Have a nice day.

Parcel was not delivered. I received an email that there was supposedly a delivery attempt, but no one was there even though I was at home all day. I then received another email that the parcel had been delivered, but it has been missing ever since. Never again.

The original packaging of the item had no sealing seal in fact it looked as if it had been opened before the instructions were resting on top of the loggetto and not underneath as is usual for futaba. the gyroscope was free to bang around inside the box. I don't think anything more needs to be added...

Unacceptable. 4 weeks of delay with several exchanges with Customer Service during which I was promised things that were not done (preparation of the package, shipment within 48 hours, etc...). After three weeks, I decided to cancel my order and order elsewhere. A few hours after sending my cancellation request, I receive an e-mail telling me that the parcel has been dispatched, and Customer Service tells me that it's too late to cancel. And wait! There's more to come! I receive my order and there's a paint missing from the inside. Really, I don't recommend it. I understand that there can be occasional problems and before writing this message, I asked for compensation for the disastrous handling of my order. Message ignored.

I didn’t like this. I was excited for a model for my husband for Christmas that I ordered many weeks before. It arrived AFTER Christmas despite paying the extra for delivery. When contacting customer service, I am told to wait for someone then no one comes. The day someone answered was to tell me it’s coming still. No resolution whatsoever and the model came in a destroyed box. Very unprofessional

They have many games to choose from. But when it comes to shipping they leave much to be desired as I have been waiting for the arrival of a game more than three months, it's a shame, because I would have made more orders.

Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, thank you for your message so important to us. Indeed, I see that the game has taken some time to arrive due to a restocking difficulty, we are very sorry. We hope the package arrived in good condition and that you are satisfied with the game. Have a nice day,

Communication impossible.1 month delay in delivery without explanation despite numerous requests made by email and calls impossible because the line is always saturated. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift ordered on 22/11/22 and it arrived on 30/12/22! So I'm not satisfied! Why on the site it says delivery in 48h! It's not true at all!

I received my order in a simple envelope !!!! The box was damaged... and 2 pieces broken inside!!!! This is unacceptable from a professional company. You don't buy a model by mail order only to receive it damaged. It's a shame.

Hello, Thank you for your comments. N You ordered two products on 12/12/2022, one of which was in restock, which is clearly indicated on the product sheet. This order arrived on 23/12/2022 15:47:00 . Consequently, the order left when the two products were available. Moreover, you never contacted customer service for help! We wish you happy holidays.

First, the order took longer than you are led to believe at the time of purchase, I placed my order on December 5th and it only arrived on December 22nd. But I almost didn't receive it because the 1001 hobbies company didn't write down my complete address and that's why the letter carrier couldn't deliver it. Luckily I went to the office the same day to find out where my order was, otherwise they would have sent it back to France. In the mails I received from 1001 hobbies my address was always complete. This has been my case, I don't know how often this happens with this company.

I strongly advise against it. Late orders, missing and non-compliant products - in short, nothing works... Customer service more than dubious if not non-existent... The phone number is useless, a week of calls and no answers. The problems with my order have still not been resolved... in short, nothing is going right. In a word, flee from .....

once again, an experience not to be lived, a delivery which is lost, another reedited, then which is not delivered, the 1st order, which is found, then delivered with 3 weeks to wait, but the delivery is incomplete, misses 1 article, they had forgotten it, then after a commercial gesture of 5 €, a misery, and finally the delivery of my brushes, one month after the order, too late I did not need any more, I made otherwise since the order did not arrive.
