Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Let's see if we can fix the opinion-giving spam, you're not paying me to have to bother me this way.

Received the order in two times lacks the tempest offset, order well packaged satisfied thank you

Abcd

We would like to suggest the colors that go with the model as well as the figurines. Perfect delivery.

Everything in order

Clear

Very late delivery and model ordered and paid for missing = Curtiss P 40 M

I placed the order on 01/29/2021 and it consisted of this item along with two others, which they did have in stock. After more than 15 days, I requested the shipment and they explained to me over the phone that the P-38 armament item would not be received from the supplier until March. I then demanded that they send me the other two, and you proceeded to divide the initial order into two parts. I finally completed receipt of the order a few days ago, almost two months after the initial order. Very poor communication and transparency on your part. I am sorry for this.

Very good paint, but not fluid enough for the spray gun, which is annoying because it clogs. How can I make it more liquid?

A little pricey compared to other online (or sometimes physical) stores, but does the job and does it well.

Site deserved more details on products. Prices a little high. Expensive delivery costs with long lead times.

Despite a laborious delivery due to a long delay in restocking, I congratulate the customer service team who answered my questions and acted accordingly.

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.

No comments

Lots of choice, good quality, but one part was damaged because it was not well protected for delivery.

super

The paints are not all from the same range and some are of poor quality. The kawasaki light green ordered was khaki in color!!!!

Despite the slight drop in delivery speed (with the Brexit and the health crisis it's understandable), the service is excellent.

My negative review relates only peripherally to the item I purchased. Unfortunately, however, the same came to me very damaged and missing some parts due to the Postal Carrier's mishandling of the packaging. I still preferred to repair the item instead of sending them back to the Sender. I thus took the opportunity to correct several inconsistencies and deficiencies in the model regardless of the damage done by the Carrier's carelessness. Obviously, I am not satisfied. But with the modifications I made and the repairs of the damage, I was able to donate the model to my grandson who appreciated it. The boy is 11 years old and certainly has no modeling pretensions. The delivery time was very long, too long, even considering the current situation, I think.

Delivered reasonably smoothly.

Too bad, my order is missing 1 item.

average but ... I would love to find the boxes of the French infantry and artillery at Waterloo from Airfix !!!

Items are passed between available products and undeliverable items. Pretty confusing.

en general, je suis tres satsfat, mais le cout de l'envoi etait un peu cher..

Well-satisfied, thank you.

I was caught by the variety of modeling products, I was looking for Russian ships and here I found them. Unfortunately there was a problem on the non-delivery of the order, it was lost, too bad because it was supposed to be a Christmas gift and ordering it 1 month or so before, I did not expect this. Contacted 1001hobbies several times and the order was shipped to me again without further charge, this shows the seriousness of the Company. However, the delivery waits are too long .

Despite the name 1001 Hobbies.co.uk, this is a French company. You think that you are buying from the UK and their site doesn't clarify that you are importing and subject to import charges. Any complaints are ignored and you no longer exist once they have been paid. I will never use them again. 0/10.

No problems, everything worked

As expected.
