Our order. An expensive two way radio headset was delivered faulty. The main headset was damaged and not functioning properly.
We told them on the customer service contact which was an incorrect email. We are very concerned that we may not get a replacement item or our money back. The fact that the email address is not working gives us cause to believe that we are in trouble with this.

Since my last review still no refund only ideal promises of customer services contacting me to arrange refund. Maybe they bissy blockading Jersey? Maybe soon I can go direct to there offices in person and cause a fuss and that way I,ll get my refund.

All items I believed were in stock, then I Had no further communication after order confirmed,due to covid i was prepared to wait a little longer for the delivery.
emailed about two later to find out what was happening to then be told all items where out of stock.i was offered a credit or refund but chose the refund.
Just bad communication.

Mr. Summers,
Thank you for your comment. We would like to inform you that we have been waiting for the response from UPS before we can refund your order. We regret that it took so long but we cannot be responsible for a package lost by a carrier.
We apologize once again and ask you to believe that this type of incident is very unpleasant for us.

They are scamming UK buyers as they are trying to give the impression that they are UK based, with their .co.uk website, and London contact phone number. They are actually in France, and so you must pay much more money in import fees. Don't buy from this fraudulent company if you are not in the EU.
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello,
We regret this comment. We regret that you did not see that we ship from France, as indicated during the validation of your cart.
Due to the current COVID restrictions and the Brexit, shipping times may be 3-5 days longer than expected.
Please note that orders above 135GBP may require additional costs upon reception. Thank you for your understanding.
We regret this situation and apologize to you.
Sincerely,
Laure

It's a real mess to find the color selected by the model's documentation. While everything exists in your correspondence table, in practice it doesn't. You have to make approximate choices.

This is the second time I ordered from 1001, and both times they got it all wrong. The company has potential if they would get their act together. It made me mad that they kept the cost of shipping, which was more than I paid for the item I never got. Only a partial refund. They suck.

Very good selection of products on the site, but very long shipping times because they often don't have the item available (which they mention only after the transaction has been completed) and in the meantime, customer service follow-up lacks responsiveness. Too bad

one of the products I ordered was not in the package; in fact for a long time that piece was "awaiting supply" based on the directions on the website, but although it took them a month they evidently did not find it. No communication about this has reached me; I wrote on Friday, 23/4, and am waiting for a reply.

You come to 1001 Hobbies for the choice.
On the other hand, the internet ordering system isn't quite up to scratch yet: 1) I'm very careful to choose only models that are immediately available, but unfortunately one of them isn't really available and the whole order is blocked for a week. It's not a big deal, and it may even be my mistake.
2) When the order arrives, a Mig21 has replaced the Avenger ordered. My son, who thinks the plane is cool, agrees to do it. I finally write to 1001 Hobbies to tell them we're okay with keeping the model in place of the Avenger, despite their mistake.... no reply...
I'm left with the disappointment of not having received the model I wanted, and no response to the flexibility we've shown in dealing with a 1001 Hobbies error.... There's still room for improvement. Jean-Baptiste

After ordering 3 items on March 2, 2021 I finally received my package on Apr 21, 2021. Imagine my surprise when I opened it and DID NOT FIND ANY ITEMS I HAD ORDERED. That's right, they were 0 for 3. I do not know who they have working in their packing department but the person is incompetent! It appears somehow that my order was switched with someone else's and after waiting over 6 weeks for my items I am disgusted with 1001Hobby's ability to fulfill an order!

I will not be ordering again. When I called about payment and delivery, I was given totally inadequate information. As for the delivery, which was supposed to be effective in 72 hours, this was far from being the case! Several contradictory messages from Colissimo, the ultimate on the day of delivery when my details were invalid...but the deliveryman showed up! In short, a lack of seriousness and coordination for me, wondering whether I would receive my parcel or not.

I ordered an aircraft that was in stock. My account was charged immediately. Weeks went by and when I saw that it did not arrive I contacted you and you told me that the product was out of stock. I asked for my money back and they sent me a coupon to buy another product. What kind of world do you live in? That way of buying no longer exists. I will never buy anything from you again.

I had ordered Carrera Digital 132 cars. However, these turn out to be fake fakes or something. 1 setting: shelf gas and they can't change lanes either. The sensor is not even there. So useless. Both cars had the same problem. So not a unique problem apparently. Strange... Then again, the bluetooth module I had purchased at the same time works fine. Hopefully I will see my money back for the cars

Mr Vercauteren, Some of your customers who paid for their purchases by credit card may have been debited twice for their purchases, due to a processing incident on 12 April. You have only been credited once and have no action to take for a refund. We apologise to you and your customers for this problem, which does not correspond to the quality of service we wish to offer you. A regularisation process took place on 14 April so that the sums unduly collected are reimbursed to the customers concerned, automatically and without any intervention on your part.
Yours sincerely

Extremely disappointed. Delivery took 3 weeks, turns out it comes from France. Unreachable by phone; number does not exist. Then you get a 1/72 model sent home while you have chosen a 1/35. Return costs a lot of money because you have to send it back to France. I will never order here again.

Ordered 3 products in stock, after 1 week with no news sent an email for information. I had to send 3 more emails before I knew what was going on. One of the products was missing, donv in the way of the order and a credit note for the missing product, delay about 3 weeks when it should have taken 1 week. Request for information to have the credit 2 more weeks with 4 emails. I've just retaken an order to give it a second chance, I hope this time it goes better! And I'll give it a better mark. But communication is complicated, especially for a 1st order.
