I think you should place the decal sheets in rigid envelopes. For the decals (for the manufacturer) it's a pity, for a N°, for example the 2, to put only 2 on the sheet, it limits the number of registrations in the same font, I can only make a plane with the 2-LH for example and can't make the 2-LA or 2-FH etc...

Run away from this store, error when buying an item, email within 12 hours to cancel the order and no response. The store sends the item (it happens) on the other hand procedure for product return initiated on their site (archaic by the way) and it's been 5 days that I'm waiting for someone to deign to answer me, the way customers are treated is not acceptable.

Terrible! Sent me the wrong kit, finally accepted that they had made a mistake, promised to send me a return label so I could return it, and two weeks later no sign of it! I am still, a month later, still without the kit that I PAID FOR! Awful! Do not shop here!

Order paid January 26, 2021. Evaded after a thousand trivial and false excuses after repeated threats from me to report the scam in place on 18/05/2012. You draw your own conclusions.

Hello, Thank you for your order. We regret this incident, twice we asked you for your Iban because the one you gave us is not the right one, we then asked you for an official document from the bank, but you did not want to transmit it.
We are sorry for your comment, but we cannot refund you today because French law requires us to refund you through the payment channel.
Sincerely, Laure

Delivery times of over a month for items indicated as being in stock, or 5 days at worst. Delivery to a relay point was also complicated because the location changed several times (despite the fact that they were open). There was no signature when the parcel was collected from the self-service point with the name clearly visible. Fortunately, we were happy with the items, which met our expectations, especially 1 that we couldn't find anywhere else! In short, don't be in a hurry!

The order arrived very late. One item (Marvel figure) was delivered broken in the box. When I contacted customer service, I was answered in Dutch and was not offered a return or anything similar for a defective item, but a voucher for 5 euros. Is that a joke? I was also asked to send a photo. Just keep your hands off and order elsewhere for a higher price than from this joke of a company.

Mr GIVELET, Thank you for your comment. We would like to stress that there are 3 concepts to take into account on the site: In stock: dispatch within 48 working hours. These are physically stocked in the company's warehouse in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier. Available: dispatch within X to X days. These products are not currently in stock at the company's warehouse in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier and are generally dispatched within X to X days following the user's order, depending on the lead times of the various suppliers. Not available: these products are currently out of stock and cannot be ordered at the moment. As a result, some lead times may be extended due to current problems. We thank you for your understanding, 1001hobbies customer service.

Horribly disappointed by 1001 hobbies, my box of Warhammer miniatures wasn't even in a cardboard box, just wrapped in bubble wrap, so the box was damaged, and there was some damage inside, notably to a set and part of a miniature. This shows just how little seriousness this store takes. Disgraceful. I've never seen such sloppy service in the model world. A Flee.

On 04/27/2021 the order was placed and the payment was made. I picked up the package at the post office on 05/14/2021, after 18 days. It seems to me that this is quite a long delay for what most on-line orders take nowadays.

The goods never arrived and probably weren't sent. The firm failed to answer my questions so I had to lodge a complaint with PayPal to get a refund. Very disappointed.
Response from 1001hobbies
Sir,
Thank you for your comment. We regret this information.
We regret that you have this information that our company, indeed, the package was returned because it could not be delivered to you. As a result, we have proceeded to a refund via paypal.
We regret this incident, but you will understand that incidents or delays in delivery can happen with the United Kingdom and BREXIT.

THEY ARE EXPENSIVE, ONE OF THE ITEMS I BOUGHT I HAVE SEEN LATER ON ANOTHER WEBSITE AT HALF THE PRICE THEY DO, SAME ITEM AND SAME BRAND, AND THEY ALSO HAVE TO IMPROVE THE LOGISTICS BECAUSE THE DELIVERY OF THE ORDER HAS TAKEN A LONG TIME, I HAD TO CLAIM IT AND THAT WAS WHEN THEY SENT IT TO ME. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THEM, I WILL CERTAINLY NOT BUY FROM THEM AGAIN.

I find the shipping costs high for a delivery in a relay point, a competitor for a little cheaper delivers at home and then a shower of mail that I find useless.

Ordered a model which was sent back for some reason. I was informed and told it would be on its way but as yet no model and no reply to my emails. Don't mind the delay as long as they keep me informed but lack of communication is very poor. Will be getting bank to recover money if model/communication not forthcoming soon.

Our order. An expensive two way radio headset was delivered faulty. The main headset was damaged and not functioning properly.
We told them on the customer service contact which was an incorrect email. We are very concerned that we may not get a replacement item or our money back. The fact that the email address is not working gives us cause to believe that we are in trouble with this.

All items I believed were in stock, then I Had no further communication after order confirmed,due to covid i was prepared to wait a little longer for the delivery.
emailed about two later to find out what was happening to then be told all items where out of stock.i was offered a credit or refund but chose the refund.
Just bad communication.

They are scamming UK buyers as they are trying to give the impression that they are UK based, with their .co.uk website, and London contact phone number. They are actually in France, and so you must pay much more money in import fees. Don't buy from this fraudulent company if you are not in the EU.

Hello,
We regret this comment. We regret that you did not see that we ship from France, as indicated during the validation of your cart.
Due to the current COVID restrictions and the Brexit, shipping times may be 3-5 days longer than expected.
Please note that orders above 135GBP may require additional costs upon reception. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm sorry, but when you buy for 170 euros in two weeks and 5 days later they give you a 10% discount, you feel like you're being taken for a fool. I don't appreciate it. We'll be sure to get back to you when you mention it.
