Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

The order was very easy to place on the site. Navigation was not a particular problem. It says that the item is on pre-order. But two and a half months after the release date, I still haven't received anything. No e-mail from the site to explain the situation. I wrote to the contact person who still hasn't replied. All I've received are promotional offers I don't care about. I'm waiting for my order. And I'm not going back to this site.

My shipping cost went from 15.oo to 49.oo after adding one very small and weightless item...
Their shipping prices are confusing and seem high.

Order not received after a month, even though the items were indicated as available. I haven't heard from them, but I get a lot of advertising by e-mail...

Delivery time too long!

Navigation on the website is not the easiest or the most intuitive but I manage to get where I want to go.
I was never able to complete my order because the website would never properly process my payment method. I tried getting help from their helpline but I ran into the same issues. They claimed that my payment method was at fault…mmm, I used the same payment method at a competitor and had no issues what so ever. I would still like to shop 1001 hobbies but not for awhile. They have to figure this stuff out, and the excuse of there being a shortage of workers, seems sketchy. As I explained to the help desk person whom I was in contact with, the system was such a mess that I wasn’t even sure he/she was legitimate therefore I wasn’t going to risk giving them my financial information.

I haven't received the right product and I haven't had any answer for 10 days.

In some cases, their products are overpriced.

Incorrect stock status. Long delivery times

Items are too expensive , versus other merchants

So far no delivery and no statement on the expected delivery date.

Delays too long...very expensive delivery costs

Purchase on December 9, we are on January 10 and I still have not received the order. I had to contact them myself because otherwise I knew absolutely nothing... very disappointed.

6 weeks and still no order received

I had to make my purchase twice because the seller was unable to provide me with bank details for transferring the purchase price. Despite an eMai request and a phone call, I did not receive any bank details. With the 2nd order I then paid with paypal, although I didn't really want to.

Failure to meet delivery deadline

I still have received no shipment or details when I will receive delovery

Ordered on 11,12,21 should be in stock after demand his It comes on 27,12,21 after renewed demand on 4,1,22 his it comes on 5,1,22 today is the 10,1,22 and still nothing arrived.

poor communication,order from early Dec.2021, still don't know when delivery will be made, mid Jan.2022 is listed....Other no follow up.

When I made the purchase it indicated that it would be delivered on January 3rd. As of today it has not arrived yet.

It was a gift. The order was placed on the 26th and on their website they announced shipping in 3-5 days and it arrived today, preventing it from fulfilling its function. If they can't meet the shipping deadlines they should have informed you in advance. it is not acceptable.

I then requested a refund of my payment. At least that worked. Unfortunately I don't have the kit now, but I won't be ordering from1001hobbis again.

Delivery times on the site do not match actual delivery times. In fact, I still do not have my delivery!

I have been charged twice for my purchase and not received a refund. Neither have I yet received my goods. Poor customer servic0

The negative assessment is for having put on sale products that instead it was impossible to find and having ordered in early December in order to receive x Christmas this misunderstanding has created me a bit 'of problems ... Excellent instead the management of the problem a customercare always present with email updates and the resolution in the total refund took place in the time needed for foreign bank ...so to avoid the larks as sales and give real availability of products only then you acquire loyalty from customers!

I understand the timing of my order, but when you assure that it will arrive on time, you have to do it. Besides, there is no instructions on how to return the product.

At this high price I was expecting a thick plastic cockpit like the original. What I got instead was a very light, poor-quality plastic cockpit. And when I see that I have to pay for a possible return if I'm not satisfied, this would be almost the price of a new model. I'm very disappointed.

change delivery drivers....great problems with the incompetent private parcel company.

It took 10 days after the order to tell me that an item was missing. I asked for a refund and then an email informed me that I would receive the item (which was almost twice as expensive as the competition) and then with 22 or 23 emails received it was too much Result: I received everything but it was very very complicated.

As I didn't receive the order before Christmas, I can't give it a good mark.

Order was delivered more than a week late. Delivery times are not correct at all.

Original order went missing, but they did re-send the order, but too late for Christmas. Inadequate communication from the start from 1001hobbies, which left us anxious for the 5 weeks between our order and eventual delivery, but we did receive our parcel in the end, containing a model which promises to be very exciting. I still don't know the reason for the delay, as my several messages to them have gone without reply. I guess they were busier than anticipated this year.

I ordered a submarine model for my son for Christmas ordering the recommend paints that were listed against the model. When my son opened the box to start to build the model on Boxing Day, we discovered that only one of the paints recommended was correct and I’d wasted £22 on needless paints!
I have written to complain and heard nothing back. Won’t be using again.

I’m only giving 2 stars because the items were fine when they eventually arrived. Listed as 3-5 days delivery, they arrived after 13 days. They don’t answer the phone or answer emails. I paid extra to use PayPal, and extra for gift wrapping. The gift wrapping was appalling. Items arrived too late to give as an Xmas present. I won’t be using this company again.

I am satisfied with 2 products purchased. Now, I regret that they were sent very late. When I placed my order (November 27), 1 of the 2 products was in stock and the other should have arrived within 2 to 4 weeks, i.e., before Christmas (they were Christmas gifts, so I was confident I'd be able to get them in time....). Unfortunately, after some time, I received a message from the site telling me that, due to stock shortages, my 2 items were going to be shipped to me after Christmas for receipt on the 30th. The baubles!!! No more Christmas presents!!! Fortunately, it was for people who no longer believe in Santa Claus and who had to make do with gift certificates while waiting for my parcel to arrive... I think a commercial gesture would have been welcome to compensate for this delay... Too bad they didn't offer me anything (even though my order was around 100 euros, which is no small amount...). So I'm a bit disappointed...

Package ordered December 16 with expected delivery between December 20 and 23 arrived December 28. It was a gift for Christmas... So on December 24 I had to rush to find an alternative.... Very annoying...

the search engine is approximate given the number of products you have a lack of description on the product sheets

Very mixed opinion, complicated order, order of 3 puzzles. After 3 days it was still being prepared, even though the site talks about fast delivery. When I sent a message, I was told that 1 puzzle was missing, and I was automatically given a credit note which did not interest me. I ask to cancel the order, and they accept my request and promise me a refund. 2 days later, this incomplete order is shipped. I'm offered to send the order back.... In short, after I don't know how many exchanges by e-mail because it's impossible to get them on the phone, I pick up the puzzles at a relay point and they promise to reimburse me for the missing puzzle which is still a credit .... I accept but I'm waiting..... Too bad they don't update the unavailabilities. The puzzles are great, well protected. But the after-sales service is pretty disastrous in the event of a problem that could have been resolved very quickly...

The two stars are because we did get our order eventually. But be warned that the products are shipped from another country and this company does not answer their phone or emails. You just have to have faith it will get there. I paid 45 dollars for expedited shipping however it still took 2 weeks for it to leave their warehouse in France. I ordered something else regular shipping and it took the same amount of time.

everything is made of plastic, even the sails, it all comes in bulk

It is not possible to ship A4 size decal sheets without hard protection. Mine arrived 50 percent damaged.
