The order was received well, but communication is non-existent. Never received an answer to the question about the status of the order, only a message from bpost about delivery without mentioning which company it came from. A shame about the lack of communication. The order itself was fine.

Order received 3 weeks later, despite I don't know how many reminders. Thanks to the advisor who confirmed the famous 5 days delay! If you order for a gift, plan ahead or risk being empty-handed on the day! Next time I will order elsewhere. Not serious enough.

Support is non-existent. Pre-orders are postponed indefinitely without a simple way to cancel. Sometimes I wait longer because they are available elsewhere in the meantime. A postponed pre-order can be canceled without costs according to the law. Why do I, as a customer, have to bear all the risk???

Good day,

we regret your review and sincerely apologize for the delay in processing your order.

However, we would like to point out that your order contained a pre-ordered product. Therefore, shipping could only occur from the date of availability. This product, which was originally scheduled for release in April, was shipped immediately upon arrival in our warehouses, which explains why you received it on 15.07.2026.

We thank you for your understanding and are at your disposal for further questions.

When I ordered, it wasn't clear to me that I was ordering good from France. The delivery date that I was originally given was not very long. Ultimately, it took over two weeks to receive the paint I ordered. I would up putting the project that I was working on aside and moving on to something else.

The delay between the time of the order and delivery was far too long. The item I ordered was not in stock was not clearly indicated on the site, it was only mentioned at the time of the final confirmation for the delivery of the product (ordered on May 4, delivered on May 27). Basically, it's not dramatic, but it's just that the display on the site seemed a bit misleading to me, hence this negative impression, especially with more than 3 weeks of delay. It is very likely that next time I will think twice before ordering, and in the absence of clear information on stock/delivery I will not place an order.

I ordered a Boeing 747 1/72, paid by credit card, and then the following happens: I receive a written credit for the amount (about 640,-€), when investigating on the website I read that 1001Hobbies has canceled the order. In response to my comment that I want the goods or my money back and no voucher, I receive an answer: "We are proud to increase your voucher to 577,-€ and it is valid for 5 years." Again, I disagree: goods or money back... then I receive an email saying they found my order and sent it: something for 10,-€. Again, I object: B 747 1/72 or money back, then finally I receive an email saying they found the product and sent it. The B 747 also arrived (great kit)... but in the meantime it is offered for 40,-€ cheaper. Result: If you have nerves like steel cables, then dare to order from 1001Hobbies. They offer a great range. If you have weak nerves, be careful.

Hello Mr. Palouzier,

During your order BXSWJEIFN, we indicated to you, in the confirmation as well as on the product sheet, that this product would be delivered within a period of 1 to 2 weeks.

It is possible that some delays may sometimes be slightly longer, and we regret that.

We hope, however, that this model will give you complete satisfaction.

You are not clear about the shipping time. You are a French website with a Dutch coding. Plus a lot of negative reviews on Trustpilot. You made sure that I bought the product elsewhere. If you had been upfront that it could take a while, there would have been no problem. In short, a good ending to a negative experience.

You replied that a product was missing and would be replaced by another which I accepted, but when I received my order, I realized that the product you sent me did not meet my expectations.
