Your comments and suggestions are therefore essential to us and we take them very seriously. I would like to confirm that some products, indicated as "dispatched within 1 to 2 weeks", slow down the departure of the whole order. We're sorry if this wasn't clearer.

All fine with order and delivery. You do have to wait a while to get it. One product I ordered was out of stock and then you get a vocher? Really very weird, never experienced that with other sites. You just get your money back. First of all I have to create an account to use that voucher because if possible I charge as a guest and secondly I don't know when I will order something from 1001hobbies again. So that mail I had about that voucher keeps disappearing down in my mail folder with the result maybe that it gets forgotten. Very inconvenient, not customer friendly.

Overall a good experience. My only concern was the manner in which the item was packaged. It was not in a box, it simply had bubble wrap around it. To travel the distance it did without proper packaging is risky. Also the item could be plainly seen through the bubble wrap. I don't want my purchases visible to those who have no need of seeing it.

Ordered in early December but didn't arrive in time for Christmas. Probably mostly down to UK border chaos though and not your fault.

The model looks nice but there was a referencing error: a letter error in the name of the bike so that the one I received wasn't the one named on the site. As I don't know anything about bikes, I didn't realize it, but it spoiled my gift. I would not recommend

No problems in particular with the delivery and quality of the products, however, stickers were applied to the Tamiya cans that cover the label preventing the product's technical specifications from being read correctly.

It is unfortunate not to be able to make a serious follow-up of the shipment. Likewise the fulfillment of the estimated date of reception. The contact with you is relatively fluid, in one direction. But it does not offer valid answers.

I don't judge the product but the gift wrapping is unspeakable plus the delivery time unacceptable since you charged me extra to have the item to get it after the given date.

Hello, thank you for your important message. We are very sorry if the packaging arrived damaged, we will forward the information to our warehouse. I am sure you will be able to find the right date for your order, but it is the expected date of payment that matters. Have a good day.

Immediate shipment? I received it yesterday the 16th, so it took me 16 days to receive it.
That seems like a lot of days to me.

Hello, thank you for sending us an important message. We are very sorry for the delays, which are beyond our control. This is not an immediate delivery, but an immediate shipment, the duration of which varies depending on the chosen delivery method: economy or express. We ship the order as soon as the purchase is made, but the low-cost delivery method slows down the date in times of high demand. Have a nice day.

Nothing wrong with it! But...bought three boxes of unknown brand Roden. Very bad...even with fine pliers parts break off, lots of flash( leftover plastic) bad fitting( lots of putty work) even the decals break and hardly stay on. Quickly looked at the other two boxes, looks the same. Reds is not recommended.

As a former customer, I'm happy with the delivery of the colors: desert yellow matte, dark earth matte, army green matte, airplane blue matte, which correspond to my expectations. As for the rest of the order, see the aluminium section. Thank you for resolving this problem quickly. SIMOS

I placed an order in November. The amount due was deducted from my account, but I haven't received anything. When I went to the 1001 hobbies website to find out the status of my order, surprise, it had been cancelled... Strange. I tried to contact the sales department by phone... I couldn't reach them. I finally sent an e-mail. I received the unpleasant surprise that I had to bring proof of payment. Fortunately, I was able to do so. Anyway, I finally received my order at the beginning of January, a few days ago. Not bad for an order placed in November.

Very bad transport. They make you pay 12 € to arrive urgent in 2-3 days and in the end it takes more than 7 days.

It took a long time to prepare my order, and a can of paint was missing when I received it. I had to cry" to the after-sales service to get the missing paint before Christmas. Disappointed with the after-sales service but I ended up getting everything, so I'm leaving a few stars...

Delivery time too long for an item reported available with immediate dispatch. No response to e-mail inquiries. No telephone response to numerous calls (supposedly because of too many calls, not a credible reason).

Product packaging was okay. The delivery time took forever and totally missed the occasion (Christmas).
I ordered 6 weeks in advance and was told it would be in stock within 3 weeks. So 3 weeks from in stock to arriving is terrible.

I didn’t like this. I was excited for a model for my husband for Christmas that I ordered many weeks before. It arrived AFTER Christmas despite paying the extra for delivery. When contacting customer service, I am told to wait for someone then no one comes. The day someone answered was to tell me it’s coming still. No resolution whatsoever and the model came in a destroyed box. Very unprofessional

We apologise for the damaged parcel, again this is beyond our control. If the item inside is defective, please leave us a message on [email protected] with photos, so that we can find a solution.

They have many games to choose from. But when it comes to shipping they leave much to be desired as I have been waiting for the arrival of a game more than three months, it's a shame, because I would have made more orders.

Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, thank you for your message so important to us. Indeed, I see that the game has taken some time to arrive due to a restocking difficulty, we are very sorry. We hope the package arrived in good condition and that you are satisfied with the game. Have a nice day,

Product was only two months longer to receive than quoted. Oh well. The event I was going to use the product was several weeks in the past. Guess I will be good for next year.

I received my order in a simple envelope !!!! The box was damaged... and 2 pieces broken inside!!!! This is unacceptable from a professional company. You don't buy a model by mail order only to receive it damaged. It's a shame.
