Unfortunately, I would have to say that my experience with 1001 Hobbies is bad on the basis that I ordered an Eduard photo etched sheet and received a large model kit. Although to be fair they have responded quickly within normal working hours to rectify the problem which appears to have arisen through both items having the same reference number.
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, thank you for your message about your customer experience. It will help us to improve our services. I am sorry to hear that the situation was not optimal. I think there was indeed a reference problem, we have passed the information on to the supplier. I'm glad to know that we were still able to be responsive, that's important. Good day to you.

Long arrival time, expensive transport costs, expensive product, good condition of the product, that's all I can say to your davir and good packaging.

Dear customer Thank you for your comment. We would like to emphasize that customer satisfaction is our priority. Therefore, your feedback is very important to us and we take it very seriously. Indeed, products that are not in stock are ordered directly from the supplier, which explains the longer delivery times. But this is always indicated on our product, as here, as it is indicated available in 15 days. Thanks for your confidence in 1001Hobbies

Product received with detached parts (detached wheels). I had to cancel the payment card since it was linked to the shipment a fee to be paid by mail to receive the product.... in the post office to pick up the product I was notified of the non-existence of such tas.

It wasn't clear that something was out of stock. So I would order, end up waiting a month, then have to ask for a credit. Happened twice on the same original order. In fact, I don't think I have ever received the masks for the Revell Wiking seaplane. Frustrating. Plus, the turn around for email requests is several days.
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello and thank you for your message. We are very sorry about this situation. Unfortunately, we ourselves are still dependent on the information provided by the suppliers, who may also have problems. Please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] We are available and outside of holiday periods, we try to respond within 48 hours. Beyond that, it means that we may not have received the email. Once again, the address of [email protected] is the most reliable. Please do not hesitate to send us an email if your order has still not been resolved. Thank you and have a nice day

Ordered paint specifically as the web site (and my order details) stated it was in stock. Two weeks after order I enquired about the delay, an update was told 1001Hobbies was still getting some paint from their supplier (I.e. not “in stock”). Three weeks after order I requested a refund as there was no progress, but was told that a refund was not possible as my order was now being compiled. Order was finally delivered more than 4 weeks after the order was made (and after I had given up waiting and purchased the paint from elsewhere.). I was not impressed!
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, Thank you for your comment. Your opinion is very important to us. Thank you for taking this time. We are terribly sorry for this succession of mishaps. I see that the paints ordered are indeed usually in stock, but there must have been a shortage with a longer than usual delay. We apologise again. Have a nice day,

Website is fine but aftersale is not good. Bought airbrush that did not work properly. But they could not do anything for me because the airbrush was used once and then the article could not be returned.Strange because you have to try such an article once to find out that the product does not function properly. I have now just ordered new parts elsewhere at my own expense. I don't think I will be buying anything here anytime soon, too bad because they have quite a lot of items.

One of the products I ordered was not listed as out of stock but turned to be out of stock anyway. I wanted to decline the order of the second product since it is useless to have without the one that was out of stock. I mailed the service team with this request and to ask for a refund but received no response and the second product was sent to me anyway which I have no use for. Very dissapointing!

The model graff Zeppelin is rediculously expensive at over £60.00. It is also very badly finished- sprue everywhere and the parts are poorly finished. I would have returned this if the supplier was in the U.K. extremely disappointing

The site itself is well designed and shipping is relatively quick. Ordered on 21.01. and delivered on 25.01. Can't complain about that. Unfortunately the battery was/is defective. Since then, extra forms have been filled out by 1001 Hobbies, photos have been taken and over 5 emails have been sent, but so far we have been put off with the fact that the dealer has not yet replied. This is really unacceptable...
