I bought the package USS Enterprise CV-6 of I LOVE KIT I must point out that the instructions (the booklet) is very unclear especially regarding the small parts This is because the booklet was copied instead of printed so that dark parts run into each other and thus practically not visible Pity With Miyami this would probably not happen I am curious about the result of my next package the plane the Messerschmit With polite Regards Frans Denys

Two problems with the delivery: I asked for a home delivery but it didn't take place, so I had to collect the parcel from the post office. Apparently a problem with colissimo in my area. So I paid more for home delivery, which I didn't get. Second thing: one of the puzzle boxes arrived very damaged, apparently dented by one of the other boxes. Otherwise, the products are exactly as pictured on the online ordering site.

The products correspond to the order. These products were supposedly available for delivery within 3 days. Products ordered and charged to card on 101020. Received on 221020. 10 days delivery by colissimo is very expensive.

I bought six items on 19-09-20 under number 50AGD19ZL and received only five last week ! Three days ago I spoke to an English speaking lady of your customer service who told me that in your system only two items were sent to me????. According to you I should still receive three items while I am missing one Z6217 ( British 25lb howitzer) I was supposed to receive a refund voucher by mail but haven't received it yet! Your administration is apparently a chaos and you are totally not customer friendly!

Effective for models, much less so for accessories such as expensive paint, and no choice but to go to the competition to find what you need to paint a model, and what's more, at an affordable price. Dom

If a product is not in stock, please indicate this. This will avoid the customer having to pay colissimo delivery charges because he is in a hurry.

Wide range of models but prices higher than on other sites and waiting for restocking without knowing the restocking times. Unreachable by phone. Notifies only at the last moment when models are to be retrieved from stock.

Customer service was exceptional they kept me informed throughout packaging my order and any problems they encountered. Shipping was expensive but I received my order much earlier than I expected under the current circumstances. Will definitely be buying from 1001Hobbies again!!

This model arrived missing a major part looked like the box had been tampered with but I didn�t realize the part was missing until after I started the build. To bad I was hoping to find a good trustworthy overseas supplier. I�ll keep looking.

Order placed 8-20-20202 Order placed 8-20-20202, received 9/10/2020. All items ordered were there. Order was shipped 8/7/2020 All items were in stock. Why wait 7 days before processing the order? Took 8 days to go from France to US. - This is normal. Took 5 days to be delivered. Slow again. I'm giving a 3 out of 5 stars, 1-3 days to make the order and ship it is acceptable. 7 days is not. Shipping cost at 24.00 is way too high. Box was mangled and crushed on one side but everything was OK You could read the contents of the shipping box because it had the invoice with the items clearly readable. One of the dumbest things I've seen. I gave you a fair shot at my business, you took too long and cost too much.

Mr. Lowry Thank you for your feedback. First of all, we would like to apologize for the delay. You will understand that the summer holidays and health protocols slow down order preparations and shipping. Unfortunately, the transport times to the UNITED STATES are still long due to covid-19. We understand your dissatisfaction and regret your disappointment. We hope that you will trust us again when you place a future order, to show you that this incident is truly exceptional. thanking you for your understanding, best regards 1001hobbies customer service

The parcel was well received on the agreed date, a fine product, but it was a real disappointment to see the assembly instructions in English and Chinese! as for the paints, it's a real headache to find the right matches.

Hello I bought 2 tubes of glue and one of them leaked in the packaging. I got my hands full of it and as a result the tube has been cut open. However, I have to pay another 6.99 euros and the site doesn't allow me to order only the glue with the 5 euro voucher. So it doesn't solve my glue problem.

4 weeks delivery time for stock items (at least as stated when ordering), postage fees that make your skin crawl and catastrophic packaging: the items (including glass) thrown into a bubble envelope, a hole cut in the envelope for the items that are too big and off to the post office. Once and never again!!! Definitely not recommended!!!
