Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

It should be said that the instructions will be in German and English, as they are very brief.

Sloooooow! I've ordered from 1001 Model Kits in the past and everything about the experience was outstanding. This time however, has been so so. I placed my order at the same time as I placed an order from another online hobby shop. I received an auto-email telling me that my order had been processed and I would receive my order in 6 - 8 days. 10 days later I received another auto-email stating that my order had shipped and I would receive it soon. That was 11 days ago. It has been 3 weeks since ordering and still no sign of my product. I received my order from the other hobby shop 2 weeks ago.

Products nothing to say. Delivery times not in accordance with what is indicated on the site. The products offered are not necessarily in stock contrary to what is indicated and no communication on the part of 1001 maquettes on this subject which makes your order stall without explanations of their initiative. It is supplied after contacting customer service. Customer service rather good, good reception, acceptable responsiveness. Despite these rather annoying problems (order placed one month before Christmas which almost didn't arrive, a large part of the order not in stock, no refund, so I was forced to buy again on the site in a hurry, the order arriving a long time later), I think I'll recommend the company again.

Not good. All loose in bubble wrap. Brush without protection. 7Euro shipping charged for 2.95Eure shipped. NEGATIVE

It is ""distressing"" to note that the tags (product available) do not correspond to reality and that the 7 days for the delivery either. I also agree with the previous comment about product prices: you can find cheaper products if you look hard enough... On the other hand, the communication service is excellent and the product is well packaged for transport. My humble, critical and constructive opinion

I find that the product offered is not very well finished and that the whole red vehicle down to the engine is average.

5 stars for me but 2 stars from a relative who i recommended your site to. While I have to say I always had a great experience shopping with you, I was surprised when I had recommended your site to a relative who purchased the 1/350 Uss The Sullivans, intending to give it to me as a Christmas gift. He was told it was in another warehouse and charged his card the 59.00 for the kit. After two weeks he had not heard anything and tried to e-mail you but did not recive a reply. He also noted the price had dropped to 29.00$. Since he did not get a response to his emails he cancelled the order. Thanks for ""listening"" Phil

The parcel was well protected and complete, but the delivery time was much longer than expected (3 weeks instead of 10 days). It was for Christmas all right, but I would have preferred to have the actual delivery time so that the big kid wouldn't be disappointed and impatient.

odd pricing The items I purchased were fine, but other things I would be interested in were grossly inflated and I had to find them elsewhere.

Delay not respected received after Christmas No comment

The site is remarkable, with numerous search criteria etc... As for the number of references, it's truly exceptional! Thousands of items! On the other hand, delivery times are sometimes a bit long. Too bad....But it's still great!

This is the first time I ordered a model from 1001 maquettes. The parcel arrived for Christmas, a Tiger 1 as a 16th Christmas present for our son. But when the boxes were opened, a package of wheels was open and half a wheel was missing. We then sent an email to customer service, which remains unanswered to this day. I was hoping to find a mail-order site I could trust. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be buying again under these conditions, at the risk of throwing our money away and disappointing others. I would have preferred to give a positive review, but unfortunately I was unable to do so.

Lots of choice and very good selection, but big problem with shipping. The advertised delivery time is 5 to 7 days, but the parcel only left 8 days after the order was placed.

Very disappointed in not receiving the item prior to Christmas Placed order on December 9, 2013. There was no indication that there was even a possibility that there would not be sufficient time to receive this item in over 2 weeks. I did call the company and question this when they informed me that it was coming from overseas, but was reassured that it would be received prior to Dec. 25th. When I had not received the item by Christmas Eve, it was necessary to purchase another item. I received the item on the 26th, and now have no use for it, nor do I have any indication of how it can be returned and my money refunded.

I'm still waiting for my order. My first impression was rather negative, so the delivery time was too long - a child didn't get his present in time yesterday for Christmas. I can't say for sure about the quality.

I ordered a product that corresponds to my expectations, but I phoned less than 2 hours after ordering to change the delivery address .... I was assured that my request had been taken into account! I asked for a confirmation email and was told it wasn't necessary But the order arrived at the mauva

Better competitor site

At the point of departure of the order (Le Havre) they did not write the street correctly (even though it was only one word) and my telephone number was written with one less number. The qualification of the order reception staff there is poor. Delivery was delayed by 3 days.

Hello! I placed an order 10 days ago and still my package has not arrived and I have not been notified when I was going to receive it and I had to be the one who has had to get in touch and I still do not have it at home. I think it was MRW's problem but I don't care I should be informed by the two companies.

1st order on this site and most certainly the last! Minimalist communication, very long shipping time and lousy package! The miniature was in its box and in a rather large carton without any protection! unacceptable when you know how parcels are sent to the post office! Luckily there was no breakage, but it's the 1st time I've seen a professional seller do this!

It is true the supposed large stockage but it does not correspond then the delay in confirming the stock and then the long waiting period to receive the order. To date I have not received anything and no tracking number is provided for the package.

I purchase and pay for an item on 24-11-2013 the shipment is made on 3-12-2013 because they tell me on 28-11-2013 that the material is not physically present in the warehouse in the same communication they say that I will receive the package within three days having chosen the option """parcel celere 3"" but on 7-12-2013 a new message arrives saying that the delivery days have magically increased to 57. I receive the item on 10-12-2013 (16 DAYS AFTER PAYMENT) In an envelope with bubble wrap the item is fragile and in fact opening the envelope it is slightly damaged ( in a recoverable way thankfully) I don't want to lengthen the time any longer and decide to keep the item as is. In summary it was my worst buying experience in over 10 years of online shopping around the world.

Fast delivery but poor quality of the product. Although i have bought several times, this time, I am not happy with the product. I bought a decal sheet for an airplane model scale 1/24. The quality of this sheet was really poor and when I put it into water, the decals broke.

site a little expensive paint and glue not included when elsewhere it is included in the price for the identical brand in any case postage too expensive for a delivery a little long

The delivered article is of very good quality but the delivery time of one and a half weeks is much too long according to the text it should be 5-6 days. And 4 euros shipping costs for a letter is also too much.

By subscribing to Colissimo plus 2 € I had to receive the package within 7 days instead of 14 days. I received it after 10 days. I therefore missed my son's birthday by leaving on the basis of your time commitment, without which I would have made other purchasing arrangements.

Much too long.

Too many items unavailable 80% of catalog.....

The glue cap was broken and cracked, so the glue was unusable.

Scale indicated poor but posterior change treatment correct

The shipping costs of 799 are simply unreasonable for a weight of 200g. Delivery also took too long at over 2 weeks.

Hello A decal sheet available according to your website ordered on 3110 delivered on 1611 the delay does not correspond to an available item.

A delivery deadline of 5-9 days was not met and it is also strange that the receipt of the order is recorded twice in the log - once at the time the order was placed. Then the receipt of the (advance) payment was noted and after some time (3-4 days) had passed my inquiry regarding the status of my order was answered by saying that it could only be packed and shipped once my payment had been received. However, this had already been received beforehand, but AFTER the payment had already been made and confirmed in the progress log, the order had been received a second time. As if this was just the beginning of the order. This is naturally confusing for the customer. In fact, I received the goods much later than promised in the online store. The goods were intact but carelessly packaged. The cardboard box on one side of the kit boxes was stuffed with crumpled packing paper - only very loosely. But the rattling of the injection molded frames that could be clearly heard from the outside gave rise to fears that the kits, which were only very sparsely cushioned on the top, bottom and right side, might have suffered. But in the end this was not the case. I was very pleased that I received kits that many of the dealers I asked had already described as 'out of stock' 'no longer being produced' 'no longer available' 'no longer being produced' etc etc.. In the end, however, this gave me great pleasure and is also the decisive factor - namely that the advertised products are available even if they are out of stock elsewhere - and therefore the aforementioned defects should not be considered serious.
