Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Worst Supplier I have ever dealt with Possibly the worst supplier I have ever had to deal with & if there was a Zero rating I would give it. Placed an order and after 6 weeks nothing received and very limited communication from 1001. Decided to cancel order and requested a refund that has taken a further 6 weeks for return to me. At no time did 1001 answer what I call a straight question with a straight answer. The so called London phone number is either off or answer machine but then what would you expect when the company is based in FRANCE. So if you intend purchasing from this company be & you experience problems be prepared for a difficult time.

I mistakenly paid for an order three times, only one payment was refunded and the order was cancelled.

22 days, no tracking ID and they have no idea when/were my item is 22 days no tracking number, they keep passing it off as we am waiting for it to get to us, they tryed fobbing me off with a 5% off another item DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Do not buy from this seller Do not buy from this seller, absolute joke. No items received, no response to communications. Extremely dissapointed. Case raised with paypal.

Poor Customer Service Thought this was a UK company as it said 1001modelkits.co.uk and it had a UK phone number. Found out after placing order that they are in France. The site does not have live stock details so when you find out the kits you have ordered are unavailable that is when the problem starts. Trying to get your money refunded is very difficult with delay tactics in reply emails. Had to use Paypal dispute process to get my money refunded. Would never use them again, extremely poor customer service. I Do not recommend this seller.

Priority shipping not honoured I ordered a model costing over 120 euros and elected to pay for quicker shipping which guaranteed delivery in 3 days. 10 days later the model arrived and my request to have the shipping costs refunded was refused as they claimed they could not refund postage as the models had already been shipped! If I had known this was a French company I would never have ordered from them.

Purchase of HMS Victory 134 cm model from Billing. The absence of plate 3239L-2 has been reported several times. Still no solution proposed! So I'm left with a 600€ model that I can't finish! I hope to be able to find the money to finish this boat with a more reliable company.

Customer service unable to validate the credit notes they granted me, not to mention an order that still hasn't arrived after more than 4 weeks of waiting, even though I had removed the items that were no longer in stock in order to speed things up ... e

Month and a half without receiving my order. When I ask about their delivery date they reply that they do not have it in stock. The least decent thing was for them to have contacted me a week after I placed the order to notify me that they are out of stock, not a month and a half later when I was the one who asked about my order. I still have not received my money back.

Avoid,avoid, avoid !!! This company is beyond shady and I strongly recommend avoiding them! I placed an order with them yesterday and shortly after began seeing the bad reviews so decided to cancel. Well, they do not have anything in place to request a cancellation, you cannot reach them by phone and they ignore the emails requesting a cancellation. These are terrible business practices and I will be sure and warn all of the modeling groups I am in to stay away!

I am very disappointed with your service. Still have not received my order since April 4, 2020. It's still June 24 !!!!! Despite sending me an email, I have not received a reply from you. The move of your premises does not prevent you from responding to customers. It is not

op 6 april gekocht en betaald op 6 april gekocht en betaald 24 april verzonden volgens 1001 modelkits 7 mei 1e keer gevraagd. antwoord is onderweg maar kan tot 15 dagen duren 20 mei 2e keer gevraagd. antwoord zelfde tekst maar nu 6-8 weken (tja dat verdomde corona) 25 mei er komt een oplossing???? 23 juni is het pakketje er nog niet. en in verdere sprookjes geloof ik niet. Dus dit nooit meer

an order not honored, which is understandable given the context. But no follow-up, no contact, contradictory information (refunds sent, puzzles replaced, etc.). No reliable information and no response for 15 days despite emails sent no refund and no shipment.

Product arrived quickly in a well protected box.

They don't listen to customers when they have a problem They force your hand illegally

Poor order management

The helicopter I've ordered won't work.

I paid 12 euros for fast shipping as it was a birthday gift. It's been a month and nothing zero solutions. ES

Everything is fine only the delivery times are very long

I ordered 2 Simpsons talking bottle openers. The packaging on one was already open on receipt & didn���t work. The other is properly packaged but you can test the talking as there���s an instruction on the packet to do that. It doesn���t work either. The same day I received them I emailed 1001 model kits & explained. I sent photos. I said I wanted to return them & get either 2 that worked or a refund. I got an email back saying they didn���t accept back things that had been opened & suggested that they might need new batteries!! These things were new! But I had not opened them - they are still as they were as I���m still waiting to hear from them about what they���re going to do! Disgusted with the quality of goods and the lack of customer service. They are not fit for purpose. I���m about ��30+ down and left with 2 useless products. Disappointed as these were for presents too. 1 wa

Cobi 2508a ordered Cobi 2508 received :- According to the online store, the correct product was available but unfortunately the confirmation ONLY says 2508 and the product suddenly disappeared from the online store """". Disappointing but you learn from it.

On an order that there were problems with the supplier for 2 items out of 10 they did not send me the order. It has been 20 days. I have asked them to advance me what they have but they tell me that they will send me the order only when everything is ready. I am still waiting

I placed an order on June 10th, payment was confirmed on the 12th, it is now the 19th and the order is still in process. I ordered all the products that according to the website were in stock, so I don't understand the delay in receiving the order.

Avoid. Unreliable and 0 customer service I have been waiting for 13 days my order. The phone line as been cut off so no way to talk to someone. Once I have contacted them via support on the webpage they finally told me there was an issue with the stock levels, which is understandable but should have been made aware at time or purchase or been contacted directly when prior the expected delivery date. Once they reply via email any response you send back there is no action. I had to contact the 6 times via the support every time going no where. 10 days after the expected delivery date, and after for the 3rd time requesting to cancel the order and refund the money, I receive a new order confirmation email, UNBELIEVABLE. As soon I receive the parcel It will sent back and hoping the 30days money back guarantee is not an other scam. This is not how you treat your customers.

The interlocking parts weren't properly calibrated - a few mm off, but enough to complicate fitting. I had to push a bit to get it to fit, and the fasteners broke. Result: 90€ down the drain. For 90€ I expected better quality. In short, first and last f

DELIVERY PENDING SINCE MAY 21 payment made and cleared NO MESSAGE + SCAM AND MEPRI

Do not buy anything, they are scammers. I ordered several things from them and they didn't send everything. I sent them several mails and they don't even answer. Not recommended at all.
