When a multiple order is waiting for a product, you do not receive information about a possible delivery date. You have to ask for that (I did get a complete overview quickly).

Hello,

We regret this review and apologize for the delay. We are doing everything we can to improve our processing and delivery times.

In your orders, two products were subject to a long delay, requiring a special order from our supplier in England. The delay for these products is about 4 weeks. However, it is possible that customs may have held up the order, which is the case for the Seminole Warriors 1:72 figurine. This is why this box arrived later than expected.

Please feel free to contact our customer service for any questions or assistance requests.

Best regards,

Hello Sir,

We sincerely regret this incident and understand your dissatisfaction.

You did receive your product on 19/03/2025 and reported the damage to the item immediately. Our customer service requested photos from you, and once these were received, your refund was processed the next day.

We would like to remind you that European legislation stipulates that we have up to 14 business days to refund a customer who made a purchase on an e-commerce platform. In your case, the refund was processed within the allotted time, as it was done the day after receiving the photos.

We thank you for your understanding and remain at your disposal for any further questions.

Sincerely,

I did not receive what I expected due to an announcement that was absolutely not clear. In the end, I found myself paying for products that are 4 times more expensive than elsewhere (40 euros for a prismatic booster in English version) while the announcement clearly implied that I would receive 4.

Hello Sir,

We sincerely regret your disappointment and apologize.

We are doing everything we can, based on the available IT tools, to specify and clarify product sheets. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the description of the product "Pokémon Technical Sheet - TCG Scarlet and Violet Prismatic Evolutions Booster Pack" clearly mentions:
"Random shipment of a single product."

As a result, we regret that you did not consult the product description, which specifies that it is only a pack of cards.

We thank you for your understanding and remain at your disposal for any further questions.

Not happy at all, I only received one item out of the three, the second is awaiting delivery and I decided to cancel the third. It's the fault of the stupid policy of 1001 hobbies which explains to refer to its T&Cs: understanding that available at 1001 hobbies means in stock at the supplier, you have to read available and shipped within 48 hours to understand that it is really in stock.... flee this site

Hello,
We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction and understand your frustration.
Regarding product availability, we specify on each product page that "shipped today" means that the item is in stock at our logistics warehouse. We would also like to remind you that your order was placed on 12/03/2025, and the shipment took place on 18/03/2025 at 21:52.
As a small business, we do our best to manage stock, but it is sometimes difficult to have everything in stock at all times. We encourage you to contact our customer service if you have any doubts before placing an order, which would allow us to clarify any questions you may have.
We understand that the information may not always be clear, and we take your feedback into account to further improve the transparency of our communication, particularly in our general terms and conditions.
Finally, we confirm that your order has been partially shipped and that we have respected your request to cancel the third item.
We remain at your disposal for any questions or follow-up, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Best regards,
1001hobbies

Hello Sir,

We regret your experience and apologize for the processing delay.

We would like to clarify that these products were and are still available from our supplier. However, we understand that the wait may have been too long for you. These items are ordered from our supplier in the UK, and their processing time could take up to 6 weeks before receipt.

In accordance with your order, the non-deliverable products have been refunded to regularize the situation.

We remain at your disposal for any questions and hope to fully satisfy you in the future.

Dear customer,

We are sorry to hear about the condition in which you received your package. However, it is important to highlight that online sales carry risks related to transport, and ownership of the product is transferred to the customer as soon as it is shipped.

In this context, our customer service will contact you as soon as possible to find a solution to your problem.

I am half satisfied. I did receive my order even though it took time. However, who decided to stick a label on the Tamiya paint pots? Great, now we have a color hat and no longer the label with the reference. Just because the color is visible doesn't mean it's not a specific reference that doesn't dilute like another.... Really, I find this completely useless. It ruins my shopping experience!
Translated reviews
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue, which has been a long-standing problem with our Tamiya paint supplier. For years, we have been asking them to reposition the labels so that the paint number is visible, allowing you to easily distinguish between two shades of gray or white. Unfortunately, they insist that this label is mandatory and complies with CE standards to be sold in France.

We fully understand the difficulties caused by this labeling arrangement, and we are sincerely sorry.

Best regards,

Package was flimsy and not up to the task, one of the bottles of paint had damage to the cap, thankfully it did not spill or the whole contents of the order would have been destroyed. I had to be transferred to another bottle immediately. Also, the whole order was about 10 days later than first notified.

Good morning Sir, at the time of the order placed on 11/12/2024 at 17:47, you ordered four products, one of which had a longer delivery time. To avoid delaying the entire order, we decided to split it into two shipments. The first part, containing the immediately available products, was delivered on 24/02/2025, according to the courier's tracking information. The following two products - Greek Cavalry figures SPECIAL IMPORT OF LONG DISCONTINUED FIGURES ORIGINALLY MADE BY ATLANTIC - were delivered on 11/03/2025. The courier also sent us proof of delivery confirming receipt of the package on that date. We apologize for the inconvenience and remain at your disposal for any further information.

Long delivery with only one parcel out of the 2 ordered. What's more, the cardboard box was damaged, as was the box containing my product. By way of compensation, I only received a €5 discount code, which means I have to place another order with you in order to benefit from it! This is not at all commercial in my eyes...

Hello,

We regret this error and apologize sincerely.

It seems that you did not receive the information email concerning your order. Indeed, we had informed you that this product had not been delivered in the supplier order. We then offered you a refund for this product or the creation of a credit note.

As we received no response from you, we created a credit note valid for one year, which you can find in your customer area.

We apologize again for this incident.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. We understand your frustration regarding shipping and customs fees. Indeed, these fees are beyond our control and are largely related to international regulations. We strive to offer competitive rates, but unfortunately these fees can sometimes make the experience more expensive, especially for international shipments.

Good morning, We sincerely regret this incident and apologize for the inconvenience caused. When placing your order, you selected 6 products, 3 of which had a long delivery time and needed to be ordered from our supplier in England. Due to these ordering times, your order remained blocked until it was 100% complete. To accommodate you, we unlocked the order and shipped the 4 available products. At your request, 2 undelivered products were refunded. Additionally, as soon as you informed us that the received product was not suitable for you, we immediately organized its return and proceeded with your refund as soon as possible.

Ordered a Gunpla model. They have quite a few in the store but a lot of them are actually in backorder meaning you've no idea when you'll get them. Keep in mind that this store is based in France so shipping to the Netherlands was quite a bit more expensive. Otherwise the actual delivery was fine. My item took three workdays to arrive.
All and all not really a remarkable experience. I'd only recommend them for Gunpla kits that aren't available anywhere else and that they have in actual stock.
