I am sorry, 40 days x receive the goods is really too much. You should have written it down. Or at least not charge the expenses that are expensive anyway.

The last order, some decals for airplanes, were two small sheets with very small symbols, which do not correspond to the image in their catalog and are not even valid for 1/72 scale. A real deception. Disappointing.

Placed an order in late September for a Halloween party. Never got anything delivered until today 8 weeks after the order obviously too late for the party. I keep it because returning and getting money back will take a year. Good lesson cheap is expensive.
Bad service!

I have found the customer services team difficult to deal with and contact. The order I received was incorrect I received two Star Trek mugs instead of two model kits. I have cancelled a second order with this company because I have no confidence that I will receive the goods I paid for. Finally because the company is based overseas and I do not have a printer I cannot print returns labels and there are no instructions in my language on the paperwork to tell me how to claim a refund. I WILL NOT BE USING THIS COMPANY AGAIN

Hello, Thank you for your comment. We regret this incident and deeply apologize to you. Our customer service team will be happy to assist you. Please, send photos of the goods you received to [email protected] There is no reason we shouldn't be able to send the actual products you ordered but we need those pictures to open a ticket with our logistician. As for the printer, I'm afraid we won't be much of a help here :/ In any case, our customer service should be able to help you. See you soon https://www.1001hobbies.co.uk/

One good thing: the delivery (at 8 euros, I was hoping it would be quick). Otherwise, a very bad surprise. I ordered a product presented as a metallic miniature, painted and decorated. With delivery and gift-wrapping, I got 50e. The product arrived the next day, so there's nothing to say about the delivery, but fortunately I wasted the 2e50 in the gift pack to check the product. It wasn't a metal miniature but a plastic model (not necessarily of very good quality, by the way)...of course neither painted nor decorated and with absolutely nothing supplied for assembly. I'm not going to send this package back, in fact I've already assembled the model since it was for a gift, but I ordered a decorative item and ended up with a piece of white plastic. I might as well tell you that I don't recommend a service that claims several times on an item page that it's something and then sends you the exact opposite. Still no answer from the after-sales service, maybe an update one day...

Express shipping paid and 7 days delivery time because warehouse in France. But this is concealed. No response to emails and internal chat. Hotline is never answered. Spent 20 euros for express shipping for nothing and no refund or response.... Too bad because everything else was OK. But there's really room for improvement in customer service... Too bad

This company has a uk web address, but actually ships from abroad had I known id never have used them, I tried to cancel after waiting a week and was told the order had been cancelled and my money refunded. The item turned up 4 weeks after ordering.
I would never use them again .

very poor attitude to customer enquiries
told me I was being “impatient” when delivery was already 4 days late
then told me I was a “low priority”
then told me to wait 10 to 15 days after the promised delivery date presumably before troubling them again
well, guess who’s a “low priority” now - you’re so low a priority for my custom you can kiss goodbye to any repeat orders
and … it still hasn’t been delivered 10 days after the promised delivery date
unfortunately I can’t rate with zero stars - dont deserve even a 1 star

Did an order that wouldn't ship for a while. Cancelled that and a week later only got part of the refund! Had to push to get the rest of it.
Then I stupidly did more orders. They said they'd be here by date X, but it's past that date and I have only received half of the orders!
Please just avoid them. They're more hassle than they're worth

The gift wrapping was horrendous, part of the box were still showing. Both boxes were crushed because they shipped the items in bubble wrap only. How am I suppose to gift these items now?

Hello, my note is the reflection of my order placed on October 03 and received on October 21 after I called 3 times. on the RC model tamiya mainly you have 90% of the range on your site available within 15 days at T2M but your database is not up to date! if it's not available at T2M, you still take 15 days. i, the customer, know more than the advisers on the phone, and that's not it at all! what's more, you're on average 40% more expensive than most stores representing the TAMIYA brand for options and spare parts for TAMIYA models. in short, you don't do anything right apart from making money. you've lost a customer who's very passionate about this brand.

That said I arrived, I repeat unexpectedly, the product and I took care to call you to make payment to 1/2 transfer. So much has been my experience with you edi consequently the review

HORRIBLE experience! They sent me the wrong items and I had to pay super expensive taxes because of their mistake. They don't help to resolve the issue that they created. Very unprofessional and I am forced to fill a claim which is a big waste of time that we all could have avoided but apparently it is too hard for the seller to even respond to my messages. Unbelievable, AVOID at all cost.

Already previously order received late and a missing paint, I said nothing .... Order decals at 25 € and more they are not compliant, received almost crumpled so impossible to apply, instead of going through other dealer you'd better sell yourself your goods. I'll never order from your site again, only problems with you. Never see me again

Clusters found without packaging when the box was opened (?) and much more serious: one of the clusters corresponds to the canadair CL 215 while the others conform to the box i.e.=canadair CL415...the result is a kit that can't be assembled - the propellers don't match and the upper and lower wing halves don't fit together (one is designed for a turboprop and the other for a star engine...) - the kit is ready for the garbage can - I can't say where the fault lies? with Heller or 1001 hobbies, but the boxes were mixed up.

This is actually a French website with a Dutch front door. The people at customer service speak English (a little hard to understand), and when I sent an email in Dutch I got a reply back in German.
I ordered a package including 3 paints, one of which was spoiled. Initially I did not receive an email with a tracking code, hence contact with customer service (was then quickly resolved). Delivery took too long. May have had to do with the passing of Queen Elizabeth.

After making my order and payment no product came, after much contact via mail the company found out that the order was not delivered and returned. On my initiative many contact via mail but no result. After 5 weeks received money back and no product. A dissatisfied feeling and result prevails in the experience with this company.
