Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

twice I ordered the same model. Each time the model in the box was different from the box. This time I have sent three emails to three contact addresses and I have not received a replacement.

Order shipped incomplete. No communication from the seller! I do not recommend this site to all my modelling friends.

Still haven't received my last order

Still not received them

It's a shame that the boxes are missing 13 figurines instead of 15.

They had a stock of three units and I bought them, but after more than a week with the order in preparation I found out that they only had 2 left. Having to be behind people who do not know how to organize their inventory should not be my job. Having to contact me to be told that they have a problem with my order when a simple communication with - We are sorry but we do not have what we have sold you - could be enough. And they have not refunded me for what they have not sent me. Thieves. I will not repeat nor recommend this site.

I am waiting for the package LD106039197FR 2 WEEKS AND IT IS NOT COMING I HAVE PAYED 18 EURO TRANSPORTATION AND YOU SEND IT BY SIMPLE MAIL. WHILE IT SHOULD COME TO ME WITH DELIVERY DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN

Something totally different was delivered than what I ordered!!! A bag with a pair of ball bearings was delivered from Tamiya instead of a model kit: totally incomprehensible. Moreover, I paid extra for express shipping. I am curious if the company will correct this without extra cost to myself. The company was immediately informed of the mistake, so far no response has been received.

I had to wait more than 15 days for my order to be shipped even though everything was in stock and available. The Colis Privé service used ėt sucked. I was warned that the driver couldn't find my address, something I don't understand, I live in a small town, not a remote country place. Now it's up to me to travel 25km to pick up my parcel at a relay point. Not happy at all.

one of the products was not what I ordered

Immediate cancellation of the item on the same day was simply ignored, absolutely no recommendation for consumers...

I received the order incomplete and they did not send me back what was missing.

Everything as requested. Thank you.

The products and variety on 1001hobbies.de are excellent. However, the service is disastrously poor. I have been trying to return some items for over 3 weeks and have received neither a confirmation of my return request nor a reply to my emails. I really have to question this system. It's complicated, time consuming and doesn't work, which makes me not want to order here again.

Easy and quick to find. But it says things are in stock and with the fastest express with ups delivered within 2 sagen. Extra 17.95 shipping costs paid and it took very long before the product is sent at all very bad

Inventories are wrong: take stock

Website should have stated that stock was not held in the uk and import duty/vat was payable. The note that additional cost may be due to COVID was misleading. The import duty should have been stated before conformation of order.

Complaint already sent with supporting phoyos and awaiting response AND exchange for same product or refund

Parcel sent late, then attempt at 4:50 am to deliver my parcel, relay point closed (normal). Customer service replied that the parcel had arrived, but nothing more, the same for mondial relay. Finally, the parcel arrived late. And broken object. Customer service asked me for a photo, offered me a refund if I returned the item or a discount if I kept my broken mug! I asked customer service how returns work, and never heard from them again! To flee!!!!!

Never ordered nor paid for this product but it was delivered to me anyway / no support available / in short a painter's website ...

The item arrived damaged and so far I have not had any response to my E-mails to the company - I will probably have to ask my bank to initiate a claw back to see if I can get a refund that way - such a shame

Defective! First weeks of delay, then damaged shipping, then weeks of delay with the warranty. Beware of this supplier,

Very bad. Order shipped from France wrapped in nothing but some bubble wrap! ANY model kit needs to boxed in a larger box and then padded with newspaper, bubble wrap etc. your order arrived promptly but was crushed in transit. NEVER ship a model without boxing in a bigger box and padding it. You must be stupid not to know this

Placing an order on 28/01 and after complaining to ECB getting the shipment on 22/06 is not advertising.

Very poor customer service if something breaks!

Had a problem with damage to one of the kits in this order. Reported it, sent pictures, replied to emails, but got no resolution for the damage that occured as a result of box selection and packaging.

When you send an order abroad, you have to deduct French VAT and other taxes, because I had to pay Swiss VAT and customs taxes, which makes your models much more expensive than buying them locally.

I ordered an expensive boat model. When it turned up the box was battered and some of the parts were missing. Despite promises from 1001Models to solve the problem I have received nothing. I let them have all the information I could, but despite this and e-mails back and forth for months I have received nothing. The model itself is excellent, but no good unless complete. I will never deal with this company again, their customer services are appalling. I recommend anyone who wants a model buys from a company who actually gives a toss about their customers.

Very disappointed with the poor customer service. The kit was posted to the wrong address despite me correcting the address with them THREE times. and asking them to verify that they had the correct adress. All of this was done before the package was posted.
After shipping to the wrong address 1001 hobbies washed their hands of it when I contacted them. It was left to me to retrive the package at additional cost.
Very poor service. I will never order from them again.

The delivery with problems of Correos. The worst of all has been the product. Box without any seal. Only two pieces of tape. Loose pieces out of its matrix and out of its plastic bag. Pieces half assembled with glue remains. In the adhesive sheet have been cut some remaining in place the gap. Sincerely I have the feeling of having suffered a scam. I send you an email with photos that show that this is a product that has been manipulated by a previous customer and returned to you. It is the first time I buy from you and I hope a response giving an explanation to what happened.

Particularly poor communication. Unreachable by phone. Via e-mail was communicated that not everything was in stock, after three weeks I received a box containing everything. Finally received a response via e-mail, but to a question I did not ask. Guess they only give some standard responses and nothing else. For me the last time. At verspaget.nl it is in the mail the next day.

They sent me the wrong item, a cheap unrelated product I never ordered. Customer service just keeps sending out questionnaires and no answers about our situation, so no help there either, I'm at a crossroads as for to what to do next.

Non-compliant item, delivery time not respected and no reply to my email requesting repairs. However, my payment was cashed. Since then, radio silence.

I ordered a set with accessories at the beginning of March. I was sent an email to say it had been dispatched with tracking number. 4 weeks of tracking and nothing. I emailed customer service to find out the problem, no reply for 2 weeks. When they did reply they said they’d look into it and get back to me. I had to chase them after 2 weeks. Said it had been lost (I could have told them that!) and they’d send another. Sent lots of emails to customer services to find out where it was as I hadn’t received an email to say it had been sent with very little response. I finally received my order this week (8th June). So 3 months for an order when they said around 2 weeks is bloody poor, communication is also non existent so safe to say I will not purchase again from them.

Very poor customer service.

No comment

But you have got to be kidding me I had ordered decals in 1/32 scale for an American plane and others also in 1/32 scale for a German plane and you sent me decals for the P-38J Lightning but the most serious thing is that they are in 1/48 scale so they are unusable. Therefore I have ended my relationship with you for good. I asked for apples and you sent me bananas but I paid for apples...goodbye

Order delivered very late and one of the products was missing. I was unable to give the gifts in time. Impossible to reach the phone number for information. I'll pass next time.

this company is a ripoff they do not inform you about import duties £56.00 on my order you think you are buying from an UK company , but you then find out it is a french company, you receive an email asking for import duties !!!!!!!! we all know how many scam emails we receive. You then ask 1001 hobbies for confirmation of import duties, they then do not reply so you check the couriers website. Even worse they have shipped the package with useless parcel service oops I mean UPS they say I can pay the driver upon delivery I then receive an email telling me UPS have failed to deliver twice even though I was at home on both occasions. getting no help from 1001hobbies I managed to sort out delivery and payment with UPS . IF you are a UK modeler steer clear of these scammers. you will probably be able to buy what you want from a reputable UK wholesaler.

Nul hyper nul, and once again my opinion will be refused... They sell you models with unusable plans and this company doesn't give a damn, they give you a credit of 15% of the price of your order excluding shipping costs, which of course remain at your expense. (35€ for a 240€ purchase that goes into the garbage)
