1001hobbies stands out for consistent product availability and a well-curated selection, with new items arriving regularly and kept in good condition, alongside pricing that customers find appropriate and competitive. The store demonstrates reliable and fast shipping, with many orders arriving quickly and packaging described as careful and neat, contributing to a smooth overall delivery experience. Customer service and communications are highlighted as responsive and effective, with several mentions of helpful follow-up and smooth transactions, while the majority of positive notes emphasize dependable fulfillment and satisfaction with the product quality and value.
The purchase went well. Only the receipt of the order was several days late. The website contains a lot of products. I suppose that this is why it crashes too often. Otherwise the customer service is excellent. This is the first time I have bought from you. My opinion is favorable and I will be ordering again.

Order still ""processing"" after almost 4 weeks, no customer response Order placed on 12 Aug 15 for a couple of Eduard PE frets for 1/350 USS Hornet. Emailed at least three times through different avenues, reply to my order email, email through their site, and email through PayPal. No reply from any of those. Phone call to their area code 617 number, French message answer. Left message there to call me. No reply. Called the place listed to return items in Arkansas, which on Google maps appears to be a residence. Left a message on the english speaking answering machine to call me, no reply. Unless I have some response soon, next step is to file a grievance through PayPal, which could put a dent in their sales through that payment method.

I'm surprised to find that in 2015 there are e-commerce sites that don't offer order tracking, that take 1.5 months to send their products into stock, and that turn a deaf ear when you send them an email asking for explanations. 1001maquettes: to be avoided at all costs!

Ordered on 01.09 and paid immediately. But no goods have arrived to date. You can also send the customer shipping number but this is not the case. calls are pushed away and if you write to them no reaction. Not recommendable.

5 star price, 2 star customer service The price is really good, so I am OK with the LONG waiting period. But customer service is bad, when I told them my items are damaged, they replied my VERY slowly, although they did send me replacement parts. They don't even inform me that they are sending the replacement. Overall I am pretty happy now, because I got my replacement(still pretty slow), and the price is REALLY good!

I had been offered a €100 gift voucher to use at 1001 Maquettes. I placed an order but couldn't figure out how to use it. Fortunately, there was online chat. That's how I was able to find the solution, thanks to a friendly and efficient contact. Everything else (delivery times and products ordered) was perfect. I'll be back

I placed an order 20 days ago the item was available on the website but not in stock. I cancelled the order and asked for a refund. Given the impossibility of contacting or receiving a response from them I opened a dispute with PayPal after several days to do so which I had to elevate to a claim since even so they did not refund me the money. As of today PayPal is processing the claim and they still have my money. I do not recommend anyone to buy in this store is a headache time and what is worse .... money. I have never had such an experience with professionals
