Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Packaging was very good. Fast delivery too. However, the paint bottles covered with warning labels, which when removed also rip the label off the bottle itself, are not great. I had to re-label all the paints by hand :/

You sent the package without indicating its contents or value on the customs document. As a result, Swiss customs blocked the parcel. I had to send them a copy of the order and proof of payment. This cost me 36.- CHF, so for an order of 53.00 € I paid over 115.- € including delivery and customs fees. Clearly, I'm not going to repeat the experience.

Ridiculously long wait for my order

Hello The deplorable delivery, I was shouted at by the deliveryman, and the model the propellers broke.

Fast shipping, order conforms, but do not validate the delivery with mondial relay! Delivery not in the right place (50km from my home); packaging really destroyed! A bon entendeur !

The time was a little long between the order and delivery, almost 3 weeks. Best regards.

Our order arrived in two instalments - which we appreciated - but with a delay of over a month, which was not expected. Then, thanks to our telephone intervention, we were able to obtain satisfactory explanations. Our satisfaction is mixed.

Incorrect order reception

Actually I am still waiting for my order from over a month ago, how much longer do I have to wait ??

Very bad because they are supposed to have delivered the package to someone other than me.

I paid $45.99 extra for express shipping to make sure the order arrived before I left the address I was at at the time. When I remembered to check, 1001hobbies never sent it. I emailed to cancel the order because I would not be at that address by the time it would arrive - in fact I would be out of the country, but instead of cancelling the order, they happily announced that they just sent it. I complained again after it arrived, explaining again the situation and saying now I have bother a friend and pay international shipping if I want it order. I also said I would never order from them again. So 1001hobbies replied offering me free shipping on my next order! So just a play to get more money out of me instead of compensating me for my extra expenses. Very unpleasant experience and I do not at all recommend this company.

Delivery time far too long !!!!

Only 3 stars because the delivery took a little too long for my liking (and I didn't hear from 1001hobbies during that time) and although the cardboard packaging was undamaged, the box containing the model was damaged, but fortunately the contents were unharmed.

Took 4 weeks for myn package to arrive. Zero communication from their side

I placed an order on the 8th November, and one on the 9th November. One arrived quite quickly the other took over a fortnight to arrive

12 days after purchase I still have not received the puzzle.

I am very satisfied with the service but not at all with the delivery time (25 days!).

the parcel was what I expected but the restocking took a long time

There is poor order tracking... if we don't ask where our items are, we wait without any news... and on top of that, the items are out of stock 4 weeks after placing the order and without any compensation!!!!

delivery leaves something to be desired

My first order included a model that was missing parts to which I received a credit that was immediately absorbed on unasked for express shipping. The mistake ended up costing me more money than if I hadn't had a discount at all and it was sent by regular mail. No clarification on the back office change was given other than it happened "thanks to your [my] discount."

Customer service and shipping are an imposition. Alleged German customer phone is redirected to France for a high fee.

Following an order placed on 18/10, I have only received part of my order and I am still waiting for the other part on 22/11. On the other hand, the full amount of the order was debited from my account on 19/10. No information until I contacted them by phone.

All products are very nice. Only thing is the HB-AO06167 is showing as die cast on the website. This is actually a model kit :-( Also, when I sent an email to inquire about the scale of the item HB-AO06167, I never received a response back.

Failure to meet delivery date

dommage il pourrait avoir une notice traduite en francais

On the product itself, it's OK, except that it was a return from a customer, so it's not new! It's OK, so we'll pass.... On the other hand, the advert to sell it stipulated, promo!! Free shipping, but in reality I had to pay €20 more..... And that's not glop !!!

in this case he should have been more precise in the description and methods of assemblies required

Product was good, price was good. Delay in shipping ( due to current circumstances) ok, the bad part is the tracking process and there is no good contact customer service.

Generally ok but received an unexpected delivery cost of £68:51 which was not mentioned when i ordered. Also, USP demanded payment before handing over parcel, but they wouldn't accept a cheque (still legal tender) i don't do online banking and so had to find cash. pretty annoyed by both extra cost and UPS.

Absolutely worst scam I have ever fell for. And to think you would even tell me to pay to send it back for a refund. First I did not know I was buying from a foreign company. Second, the product looks nothing like what I ordered from.

Finally delivered yesterday (long delay due to UPS and the broker in the UK messing about AFTER it had cleared customs. 1001 hobbies had already CHARGED me to use PayPal! Never had that before, from any supplier anywhere!! Then, on top of the VAT charged in France, I also got a massive import charge. So my order ended up being over £500+. I have to assume/hope the item will be 100% OK…not opened as it is a Christmas present. I don’t know if I could have ordered this anywhere else…but if I could have I would. Will never buy again from a seller that uses UPS, they let you down BADLY, so the whole experience was a bad one. Have never had so much messing about, and I ship from all over the world.

I received a mock-up, half of which is missing, and I haven't had a reply despite photos etc.... So I got in touch with Heller to tell them what I think of you.

delivery rather late (more than a week), order itself also somewhat disappointed

Out of date, wrong order, excessive price!

invece delle figure dell'EQUIPAGGIO DEL CARRO ARMATO, HO RICEVUTO IL CATALOGO MiniArt. Quindi completamente un altra cosa che non ho mai chiesto

I'm disappointed, I was expecting an A4 decal and I only received a 25mm x 85 mm sticker, I was misled about the article

Expensive shipping costs nr Netherlands

Fine, but I made two orders a day apart, and the sum of the two gave me free delivery.... One was sent to my address and the other by mondial relais , with both delivery charges.... Go figure. Too bad.

Hello, I had ordered the DS 19 for the 60 years of citroen, included in the box the convertible ref: 80795. In your quote it is still there and you have sent the ref;1000567950 hardtop, too bad I want the convertible.
