The stated delivery times are largely disregarded. These are not necessities so this is not a real problem. I would say that honesty pays more than claimed efficiency.

After my first order, the aforementioned complaint is still not completed satisfactorily. This is mainly because it is almost impossible to get in touch with them. Today they finally responded with a short message saying they had not received anything and do not know what it is about. At the bottom of this message were all my email messages that I am responding to their initial offer. It is therefore incomprehensible that they would not know what the complaint is about; they themselves responded via email to my previous review via "real reviews". No doubt they must have all the details therefore (and moreover, it is even in the message I received from them today. Still this complaint has not been resolved. By phone they are also unreachable.

Good value for money. Pity that unavailable products are displayed in search results. Order was over 1 1/2 weeks in transit, which I really find too long, tried to contact, no options except email (which was not responded to) and do not hide behind "that's because corona" because my order via another puzzle website, which was also delivered by postnl.nl did arrive after 1 day ... So moderately enthusiastic...

I ordered Blackstone Fortress: Escalation. It was in stock when I ordered it. It took months for you to then tell me it was permanently out of stock. I could have purchased it elsewhere, but I spent 2 months thinking I had already ordered it before you told me I wouldn't be getting it. I am not happy about that at all, as it is now very difficult to obtain, and I had to settle for other products that I had no real intention of buying.

I received the package damaged and crushed. Compared to your shipping rates, which I find a bit expensive, your packaging is not rigid enough. As a result, the products inside are a bit crushed for items I was planning to give as a birthday present in 1 week's time (I hope there won't be any unpleasant surprises when I unwrap the gift).

Initially not a positive experience, made payment but did not receive an order, later seemed to have been a bug in the system. Unreachable by phone, repeatedly emailed, but that did not provide a solution. Finally got someone on the line, who solved everything nicely. Too bad my son didn't get the promised item to make up for it. Car is super cool though!

One star, unfortunately less is not there. Eternal delivery time (more than two months), not all the merchandise arrived as it was out of stock (even though it was available in the shop), you cannot get a refund for missing items but only a voucher of equal value that I will never use given the very high shipping costs (not covered by the voucher).
So basically I waited two months, didn't receive all the items I ordered and lost money on them as well. Non-existent customer service. lousy! Avoid if possible.

The package came in a box 3 times the size of the package to be received, and, even so, it arrived dented. I understand that with all the packaging it had, it had not been in transit, but was already packed with the blow. The order has to be placed without premium, approx. 10 days to arrive.

This was a complete rip-off for the price. A very very sub standard model kit from Heller that 1001 hobbies should not be selling. Missing parts, inaccurate instructions and impossible to finish satisfactorily. I am a level 5 model maker so no fool. Very very disappointed with 1001. Of

Satisfied with the products, but the delivery did take a very long time. Was beginning to think I had booked on a fake account and could whistle for the products ordered. An email that there is a delay will not be bad for delivery problems.

Accidentally (my mistake) I had paid the product 4 times, more often I asked if I could get the money of the extra three times back (had overpaid about 80 euros). I never saw the money. By the way, the product also came quite late.

I found the 1001hobbies site very easy to navigate & when I saw a kit that I was really wanting to purchase at a good price, I saw this one.
I completed the purchase, including opening an account, very quickly on 3rd March, & waited for delivery.
As this is the most expensive kit that I have ever bought, (I have in the past with other suppliers, purchased & paid the cost of the kit as advertised on the website).
There was nothing on the order form I could find that informed me of any other costs. (billing informed me that tax was included within the price).
After 5 working Days, I contacted 1001hobbies by Email for an update & was informed that it would be shipped within 2 to 3 Working days. (that was fine).
I tried using the Tracking Facility on the website (typing in my Order Number), but that didn't work.
On the 17th March I received an Email from the Carrier informing me that the package was on its way.
On the 23rd March, I received a letter from "Parcel Force" informing me that a VAT charge + Clearance Fee was required to release this package.
I Emailed 1001hobbies & tried to use the "Support" facility on the website.
This only informed me that it would be answered "soon", (other websites can have an online chat available).
As I didn't receive an answer by 24th March, I contacted "Parcel Force" & paid the extra charges.
The kit was delivered on the 25th March.
What an excellent model, really pleased with it.
My reason for only giving 3 Stars is due to the "Not being aware the extra charges required to have this delivered",& taking 16 Working Days for it to be delivered.
I have received an Email from 1001hobbies on the 26th March, informing me that due to BREXIT, orders over GBP132 are subject to taxes requested by customs.
There is NOTHING that I could find on the Purchase Order informing me of this, even though in the same Email informs me that this information is indicated on the summary of my basket.
I have since tried to find this & still cannot find it.
My comment to 1001hobbies is, Please make this visible in UPPER CASE & HIGHLIGHTED, as you do for the "COVID HEADLINE ON DELIVERIES".
As I know this information now, I will take this into account, if I use 1001hobbies again in the future.
