Long, long wait for the package scheduled for Christmas, but it didn't arrive until the 26th, so Christmas was missed for the person who was supposed to get his Christmas present the same day.

Hello, Thank you for your email. Some products are indeed shipped within several weeks to our suppliers as indicated on the site, which was the case on your order. However, we are also available when the product has been shipped and is in transit. Thank you for your interest!

Correct condition of the boxes despite the lack of packaging. I paid extra for gift wrapping, which was not done either. Very average.

Ordered on November 13, I had no news until December 22. As a result, I had to buy other gifts to cope. As the kids would say: "That's not cool!

First, the order took longer than you are led to believe at the time of purchase, I placed my order on December 5th and it only arrived on December 22nd. But I almost didn't receive it because the 1001 hobbies company didn't write down my complete address and that's why the letter carrier couldn't deliver it. Luckily I went to the office the same day to find out where my order was, otherwise they would have sent it back to France. In the mails I received from 1001 hobbies my address was always complete. This has been my case, I don't know how often this happens with this company.

Hello, my experience has not been very good, since I ordered a doll on November 8 q was in stock and they were going to send it to me 2 weeks later. When I saw that it did not arrive I sent an email and they told me that it would not arrive because there was no stock. After several emails I managed to get them to send it to me and it arrived on December 20th. For my part the experience has not been favorable. Best regards.

I did get what I ordered, but it took a long time and some reminders to get it. I had to ask for updates of what was happening to my order. Good price though, but the next time I might buy the same product to a higher price and get it at once, instead of being unsure of what is happening with my order.

Unfortunately the description differs from the item I received. According to the picture and (translated) description "Mr Mark Setter" "Mr Mark Softer" was advertised, but unfortunately I received "Mr Mark Softer Neo" and "Mr Mark Setter Neo". The original ones (without Neo) are unfortunately hard to get in Europe and I was hoping they would be available in their store.

The site isn't too bad, the navigation could be smoother, the orders on the other hand, are passable, especially on the paints, full of alarmist stickers on the danger of the product, so you can't see anything, which isn't the case on other model sites.

Thank you for your message. We are sorry if you were not completely satisfied. You had chosen the option of shipping by global relay, which is particularly congested during this period. However, the package was available at the relay point from December 16, so it took 11 days for the package to arrive, which is indeed longer than the usual time. I do not know how long it will take to get my package to the relay point, but it remains a cheap solution that unfortunately is not considered a priority, and these variations are common. Have a nice day.

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Your opinion is very important to us. The shipping by Delivengo can indeed be a little slow as it is considered an economic and non-priority solution by their services... But we're happy that it finally arrived.

1001 Hobbies has been a good source for tough to find European kits from makers like Heller models. While quite expensive, the Euro/ Dollar exchange rate is what it is.
The average rating is because of their awful packaging for overseas shipping.
Wrapping a very expensive kit with nothing but bubble wrap and tape?! Seriously?!
For what I paid in the price of the kits and shipping, I was awe struck by the way my $100+ Dollar order was shipped. I would gladly pay a little extra on top of the prices to have my orders properly boxed.
It's more than a little disappointing to spend this kind of money to have the goods shipped so carelessly.

The stock status indication is unreliable. No information on delays and delivery times was sent to me. Without my intervention, I think I would still be waiting for my parcel. However, following my request for a refund, this was carried out very quickly.

I have ordered multiple different orders with 1001 hobbies for Christmas. The first one was ordered back early November and I still haven’t got it. It is still processing not even out for delivery. I have been in touch with customer service and they told me to be patient. Out of my 3 orders for Christmas I have only received 1. Not sure if I’m going to receive them for Christmas to give as presents. Really disappointed.

I took advantage of Black Friday to make these purchases. It's one of the rare occasions when you can get good prices on certain products, but generally speaking it's the least interesting offer on the market. I also wanted to buy a Dumas boat with an internal combustion engine, but the explanations concerning the technical specifications were insufficient or even non-existent for this product, so I preferred to postpone my purchase and look at the competition from across the Rhine.

I give 3 stars only for the customer service which is very reactive, attentive and does its best to find solutions. On the other hand, 15 days to receive my parcel, and yet specified in stock at the time of my order. Moreover, given the price, it is not normal at all that the parcel (cardboard where the model is) is badly packed and thus cardboard damaged! that does not look good to offer. For the model and painting that I received, I hope that all is in conformity because I do not know anything about it.

Delivery time was acceptable considering where it was shipped from. However, communication was pathetic!! It took three emails to finally get a response from someone in France in broken English with a tracking number and how it was being delivered. Tracking was still a problem. I also tried calling the two U.S. phone numbers during normal business hours leaving a detailed message and return phone number. No one ever called. I would give customer service a rating of 0 out of 10. Otherwise, the item did arrive in good condition via USPS.

Long delivery time, lack of clarity about availability when ordering, which generated an error. Virtually no chance to communicate. On the first order it is not at all clear that the store is outside Italy. I received a coupon (11€ refund) that would force me to place a new order. I asked for a refund, but received no response. Keep the 11€, but you lost a customer.
