Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Unsatisfactory response to damaged goods report. I ordered a Great Planes Giant Big Stik model aircraft which arrived with some damage to the rear of the fuselage. I reported the damage with photographs of both model and packaging and asked 1001model kits for their comments. Having paid over £300 for the model which was to be a special Christmas present (which I had noted on my order) I imagined they would at least have offered to reduce the price as I had received damaged goods. Their reply follows: Dear Sir, I am deeply sorry for the damage. Unfortunately we are located in France and have no solution for repairs in the UK. I suggest that you repair it yourself, this should not be too complicated. Best regards, -- Customer service UK buyers beware.

WORST COMPANY EVER Very quick to take your money nothing in stock, slow postage, customer service nil, dont waste your time go to a real supplier

Terrible experience with no response It's now 1/16 -It has now been a month since I placed my order and I have nothing to show for it except a $106 charge to my credit card. Based upon the last response I received from your company, I expected at least a partial shipment. Again, I have not received anything. I have not received my order, tracking number or any follow-up response. This has been the worst on-line experince. I placed my order on 12/12 for Christmas. The website indicated it was ""in stock"" and would be here in time. Credit card was charged $106 immediately. That is the only thing they have gotten correct. Now MORE THAN A MONTH LATER and I do not have my order and have not heard from a representative of 1001modelkits...but they still have my money. Respectfully I have asked for them to cancel my order and post a credit but still no response. Placed an order on 12/12 for Christmas. It is now 1/5 and I still have not received my order. In addition I asked for an update and did not receive a response. Customer service is non-existent. Placed an order on 12/12. According to the website the order is still being processed but my credit card was charged immediately. I have now emailed on two occasions with no response. Prior to oreddering, the website said it would be available for Christmas...not likley.

I ordered a maréchal d'Empire statuette that looked very good in the photo. I received an unidentifiable figure in raw resin and as a spare part. I was so angry that I couldn't even react at the time! This statuette was a Christmas present, so I'm disappointed! Not only will I never order from this site again, but with the publicity I've given it, a lot of other people have also been disappointed.

At the beginning I ordered it was simple but they promised me 4 to 5 days and it's been 10 days that I'm waiting for the parcel that was supposed to be delivered to the Auchan closest to me. So here's my opinion on this

Fast delivery but model box damaged while package was intact. Too bad for a gift

After ordering an available product at the beginning of December, I made several reminders and finally found out that there was a problem with the supplier. Not being able to have the order for Christmas, I asked for a refund. Miraculously, I was told that the order was being prepared and would be dispatched shortly. Unfortunately the only thing that arrived was a free tube of glue with the order. Now I'm waiting for a full refund but no news.....

The rest was perfect

Hello, this concerns an order I placed and confirmed on 1112 (7am) for a product that was in stock (5 copies: copy made). After a few days, the order remained frozen. I contacted them again by e-mail on 1612 and was told the same day that the item was missing and should be received today or tomorrow, and that the order would be dispatched immediately. The parcel was received on 2012. Question: what would have happened if I hadn't contacted them again? - How is it possible to display and sell a product (stock unchanged to date) and not have the item in the store? - Do (toy) companies know that Christmas is on December 25? Obviously, if I had been informed that the item was missing, I would have ordered elsewhere. I understand that it's not easy to manage orders during the festive period, but that doesn't allow for elastic stock management.

Delivery time could be better

Very good packaging for the model.2 cardboard packaging... However, the glue was not packaged and I was lucky to get it because the 'cardboard was punctured when it was sent... otherwise

Delivery takes a very long time! I ordered this on 4th Dec for a Christmas present, and there is still no sign of it yet -.today is 19th Dec

Please reimburse me for what you owe me (gift wrap) and the postage, as I no longer wish to order from you (free postage on a future order! .....). Best regards!

After 16 days after the order (paid) I still have not received anything (not even the tracking code of the shipment) and in the face of my request for explanation after 5 days I still have not received a response.

Order arrived late after reminder letters. Colissimo services very dubious or at the very least not reliable.

very well delivered but it takes a long time dommag

I ordered a resin accessory in stock on 30.11.14I'm still waiting for it to be delivered 15 days after the order.

ALMOST ONE MONTH OF DELAY TO RECEIVE ONLY HALF OF MY ORDER AND NO EXCUSE NO PARTIAL REFUND A COLISSIMO PAID FOR URGENCY AND FOR NOTHING I WAIT FOR EXPLANATION AND MY REFUND OF THE PRODUCT NOT REÃ

I ordered last summer and have not received anything. I have been waiting 6 months or more for my money back. I know that there are bigger problems in this company and that mine is probably silly compared to others but I have been so outraged and disappointed not only by the treatment received by your store but also by the fact that you have taken me for a ride so far. I hope no one buys from your store because you do not know how to treat your customers at all.

the products are correct but the concern it is the sending my last order I received it 15 days after in spite of a fast payment (between 3 and 5 jo

bad experience model ordered for my child's christmas announced as deliverable on the site within 4 to 6 days. model never received. they don't have it in stock and clear their name by pointing to an error in information from one of their suppliers. I asked for a refund on december 1st. on december 8th, nothing arrived on my account. i e-mailed their customer service department (no phone number given) to find out how soon i would be refunded: no reply. i will not be ordering from them again. i'm sorry, but i'm not going to be reimbursed.

délais trop long( 12 jours) digne d'un envois uk et encore la concurrence en France et a l'étranger sont plus réactif.faite un effort sur ce point et vous serez au niveau.car vous avez un bon stock et un site lisible .je recommanderais sur votre site si la concurrence n'a pas les références que je souhaite .cordi

Extremely slow shipping I have ordered quite a bit from 1001 in the past, but lately am very disappointed with them. They claim free shipping on orders over $200, but they charge anyway. That's dishonest. When called on it, they issue a voucher. Not exactly the kind of thing which evokes confidence. It usually takes about a month before they finally ship, even though everything is in stock at time of ordering. This current order was paid for on the 19th of last month, and still shows a 'being processed' status. They don't respond to my emails, and I even called them at (617) 849-9224, only to get a recording stating that they will respond to all emails promptly... another lie. Basically, sad to say this, but I don't have much confidence in them anymore. Terrible customer service, terrible wait times for shipping, and their prices aren't even that competitive.

I placed the order in Nov 13 and to date (Dec 03) I have not received anything the goods are reported shipped with DHL on 24112014 but the tracking is invalid. I have sent several emails to customer service but no one has deigned to respond. Will the goods arrive????

Order easy and precise however the delivery note between 10 and 20 days but the time that the order is treated I waited almost 1 month domage knowing that it was for a gift of birthday... Super model

For 2 months now I have been waiting for my delivery which should have been delivered to me 15 months ago??! The particularly bad thing is that nobody from the company thinks it is worth the effort to even say a word in response to my requests. I have no choice but to get a statement and my money through a lawyer. Congratulations to everyone who had a problem-free delivery. Lucky you!

I placed only one order and it took more than 3 weeks to arrive. The longest was the preparation of the order.

This is the 1st time I order and it will be the last! Shipping time more than a week Reception I'm not talking about it's been 1 week I'm waiting and still nothing .... I send emails courteous it's limit if I do not disturb! Non franchement d

I placed an order on 23.11.2014 and I am suddenly waiting. On 01.12.2014 I received an email telling me that my order will be processed when they receive the merchandise from their supplier. I have been waiting for 1 week thinking that I will receive my order soon!

Delivery time 55 days for an item in stock at the time of ordering x standard messages from the seller in response to my inquiries promising prompt delivery. No telephone contact possible.

on november 08 i ordered 4 items (so the shipping is free) on november 24 i was told that one item was not available but that the order was going to be shipped i ordered something else with the coupon i paid the shipping! but anyway i haven't received anything yet! it's a shame because there's a lot of choice some prices are too expensive (paint) but fortunately this year i've planned large in.

mixed feelings good internet presentation. Fast service and delivery. Postage exaggerated. 15.50 Dollars for a 200 gramm enveloppe mailed from France to France
