Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

serious but delivery time not respected

Horrible Horrible service Purchased a photo etch for F6f2 Hellcat on June 29. No where on the 1001 Model Kit web site was there a clear statement that products would be shipped from France!!. On July 6 received an e mail that product had been shipped and I would receive a postal tracking number as soon as available. Never received the tracking number. I telephoned customer service and got a recorded message in French! Sent another e-mail and got response ""will answer as soon as possible."" It is now July 14, and product not received. I live on the US east coast in New jersey so product should have arrived after eight (8) days intransit, unless mailed by boat. Sent another e-mail with the same standard response ""will answer as soon as possible."" I am in the process of notifying Visa that I will not pay the charges to my account because of non delivery. I never had such a terrible experience with model hobby vendors. You are unable to speak with anyone, and recorded telephone messages are in French. I STRONGLY URGE ANYONE CONSIDERING PURCHASING FROM THIS VENDOR TO REMEMBER THAT THE WAREHOUSE SHIPPING POINT IS IN FRANCE AND THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO COMMUNICATIONS FROM THIS VENDOR AS TO THE STATUS OF AN ORDER other than it was shipped. Personally I do not believe this vendor had the product in stock, and never actually shipped this product. If you live in Canada or the USA beware doing business with this vendor. I am resigned to the fact that my money will not be refunded and is lost. WRP Finally on July 18 received merchandise. It had been mailed from France on July 12 and not July 6 as claimed in the vendor's e-mail. The product was ordered on June 29. Had the vendor been honest as to the date of shipment, and answered my e-mail queries, all this time wasting mess could have been avoided. This organization is a mess, never again will I place an order. They are unable to communicate effectively with the customer.

I placed my order on June 9 I pay by bank transfer for moreover also shipping with SDA and I wait.... on June 22 they send me an email where they tell me that my parcel has been shipped but..... asking for information both July 4 and July 11 no answer.....I chat Live with a certain Christofer tells me that the parcel is still there and asking him the tracking number....they send it to me in the afternoon by mail!!!!only that it is not from SDA!!!! I rewrite for information on July 13 and so far no response!!!! They will answer me now????

The order was placed on 607. Still not delivered on July 15! Should probably do a better job of letting people know the TRUE delivery time.

Shipping They have the item I'm looking for but take far to long to ship and deliver.

The boxes were floating in a cardboard box that was too big and had too little cushioning. The post office had put tape around the boxes because the tape was insufficient and we could have easily removed a model box. Otherwise, the selection is very interesting and the promotions sym

Delays in shipment. I ordered things in past and service was good. Recently I placed an order on June 11, 2061. Got an mail stating received order and of course accepted my payment. Got another email saying I should receive order by June 22. Great, but never received the order. Had to send two emails checking on status. After you received the second email it appears that's when my order was processed. Few days later I finally got the order. Not the normal service I was used to.

In June 2016 I purchased a set of colors I paid they sent me the invoice but to date I still have not received anything and we are at 06072016. In an email they wrote me that they had shipped to DHL courier but contacted the courier I was told that they never received the package. Unacceptable and thieving behavior.

All correct but there is room for improvement in the preparation and shipping of orders. 12 days in the preparation plus another 7 days of shipping total almost 20 days to receive an order with a weight of 16 kg.

Still waiting for my purchase Placed an order over a month ago. Had to send an email to get the status of my order and a day later received an email that it had shipped. That was 2 weeks ago. NOT recommended

My order had not been processed. Problem solved after phone call. Too bad, but I'm still here

Site with quite a lot of choice but 2 weeks late for material in stock and supposedly delivered in 7 days ...and it hasn't left their premises yet....and no return mail...Last purchase that's for sure. On the other hand, they're quick to cash in and quick to register the requested refund on their site...We'll have to see how long it takes, though.

Haven't Received my order yet. Order was sent to old address. I had thought I had changed it in time to get it sent to my present address. Am working with former landlord to try & track down where the package ended up. Not really a critisism of 1001 modelkits, as much as DSL, who could of done a better job checking who was signing for the package

Have not received good ordered on time. Having to have DHL figure out why they did not have package for pick up. Needed this on time.

A cancellation request ignored and yet sent 6 times and before shipping.

it's mainly for the after-sales service because at the time of ordering there are no worries, processing is fast, but as soon as there is a problem there is a bug, but finally voi

I am disappointed I ordered a light blue car as mentioned on my order and I received a pink car.

Activating a discount greater than the order the next day is a blatant lack of commercial sense. It's average. Would you take us for d""Jam-Bons "". Fortunately, your service is beyond reproach for the moment......... Sincerely

Delivery time approx. 3 weeks. In between, several e-mails that the item was temporarily unavailable but had been ordered. Then another shipping confirmation etc. However, I had already been informed in advance by friends that the delivery time with this supplier is quite long. The quality of the badge I ordered was mediocre. The clasp (plastic!) broke the first time I used it. But the badge itself was ok.

Foreign Languages on Customer Service, I don't speak Chinese. frustrating. I called to check on my order and got a Chinese message, tried to send online message and it was only in french. ordered 3 weeks ago and i still don't have my package, it took ten days before they even shipped it. no tracking etc etc etc. The worst.

I will never order here again I ordered on 09.05.16 because the article was not available I have requested a refund today we have the 06.07.16 and my money has not been transferred back until today although my bank details are available. I think this is outrageous, first you are put off and then suddenly there is no response to emails sent. I can only advise everyone to pay via paypal otherwise you will only have trouble.

Ordered two models and one set of decals shipping by DHL courier with surcharge of 12€ approx. Of the two models ordered only one arrives of the other only the decals the shipment instead of express courier is made by regular mail. Absent customer service they do not answer emails nor the phone they are absolutely not customer oriented.

Order placed on 170516 Payment made on 1805 Still not received on 0306 After several messages where I left my phone number I still have no answer.FIRST to sell and send advertising reactivated to cash but champion in all categories at the level of non-tracking of the customers THE CUSTOMER IS MOCKED.This will be my last order because I do not like to be scammed.CITE A BANNIR ET A FUIR

impressive description of models (e.g. vacuform resin plastic) and rather long shipping times (approx. 1 week for order preparation + transit time)

I purchased a Nobler ARF but due to insufficient packaging it arrived with a crushed wing.

Very well-stocked site, lots of choice. Prices remain reasonable. However, I have often had problems with the delivery of orders (deadline not met or order signed""delivered"" but not arrived). I have contacted customer service for information, but they have never replied.

Would an additional delivery option Would like to have a delivery option that would NOT require a signature conformation.

#NOM?

The delivery time was very long despite the express order (surcharge). Ordered 18.052016 delivered 27.05.2016.

You don't put something on sale that you don't have and know you won't get.
