Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Too high unnecessary shipping costs relative to the item which could easily be sent by mailbox mail

Very good selection of products on the site, but very long shipping times because they often don't have the item available (which they mention only after the transaction has been completed) and in the meantime, customer service follow-up lacks responsiveness. Too bad

Order goes through France and takes quite long, while they promote on the website that it will be shipped within a short time, I ended up waiting 3 weeks

I waited almost a month for the order I requested to arrive.

You come to 1001 Hobbies for the choice.
On the other hand, the internet ordering system isn't quite up to scratch yet: 1) I'm very careful to choose only models that are immediately available, but unfortunately one of them isn't really available and the whole order is blocked for a week. It's not a big deal, and it may even be my mistake.
2) When the order arrives, a Mig21 has replaced the Avenger ordered. My son, who thinks the plane is cool, agrees to do it. I finally write to 1001 Hobbies to tell them we're okay with keeping the model in place of the Avenger, despite their mistake.... no reply...
I'm left with the disappointment of not having received the model I wanted, and no response to the flexibility we've shown in dealing with a 1001 Hobbies error.... There's still room for improvement. Jean-Baptiste

Wrong package sent

far too long

Delivery is fast, but this is not the model I ordered.

never order products that are not immediately available - delivery times are not respected

Too complex to offer something to someone: the parcel arrives, but in the sender's name. I'm still waiting for a reply to my chat and e-mail requests for help. It's a shame, the catalog is great...

I've been waiting 30 days. Part of my order is still missing. It's pretty amateurish.

I was not informed that my order for £291 was not being sent from the uk warehouse, but it was coming from franc , which then cost me £ 63 in inport tax and handling
charges on top of my £291 if I had known I would not have made the purchase

Delivery time much longer than advertised, even though I paid extra. No reply by e-mail when I tried to cancel my order seeing that it was taking so long.

Charcoal arrived in several pieces, I wrote but no return. Delivery rather long but the rest of my purchases are ok... I would not recommend this site.

Articles fine, but delivery time long and uncertain

Too long to get our order in

processing took too long, I placed an order on the site for items declared to be in stock, and in the end half my order was out of stock. 3 months later they warned me that one of the items was unavailable for an indefinite period and issued me a credit note. when I received the parcel, two items were missing and there was no order summary sheet inside. It was only later that I realized they were missing, and with the waiting time I thought I'd ordered the 2 missing items elsewhere.

I ordered decals, several orders: very poor quality for a delay of 2 months for one of the orders. I threw money out the window and illusions.

Very late delivery and model ordered and paid for missing = Curtiss P 40 M

I placed the order on 01/29/2021 and it consisted of this item along with two others, which they did have in stock. After more than 15 days, I requested the shipment and they explained to me over the phone that the P-38 armament item would not be received from the supplier until March. I then demanded that they send me the other two, and you proceeded to divide the initial order into two parts. I finally completed receipt of the order a few days ago, almost two months after the initial order. Very poor communication and transparency on your part. I am sorry for this.

My negative review relates only peripherally to the item I purchased. Unfortunately, however, the same came to me very damaged and missing some parts due to the Postal Carrier's mishandling of the packaging. I still preferred to repair the item instead of sending them back to the Sender. I thus took the opportunity to correct several inconsistencies and deficiencies in the model regardless of the damage done by the Carrier's carelessness. Obviously, I am not satisfied. But with the modifications I made and the repairs of the damage, I was able to donate the model to my grandson who appreciated it. The boy is 11 years old and certainly has no modeling pretensions. The delivery time was very long, too long, even considering the current situation, I think.

Despite the name 1001 Hobbies.co.uk, this is a French company. You think that you are buying from the UK and their site doesn't clarify that you are importing and subject to import charges. Any complaints are ignored and you no longer exist once they have been paid. I will never use them again. 0/10.

Ordered and paid item Dragon Apollo 17 1/72 suddenly unavailable and available. Need time to notice this and get refund.

More than half of the order was unavailable, and the notification period was far too long. What's more, some of the items available and therefore delivered were directly linked to the unavailable part of the order: I wouldn't have ordered them if I'd known the rest would be unavailable. Benefiting from a credit note, I placed another order, only the payment was additional to the credit note, and I had to pay additional delivery charges. The unavailability procedure clearly needs to be reviewed. On the other hand, the quality of the articles and packaging remains impeccable.

not satisfied because the decal board is missing.

Product received perfect but I had problems. Purchase made on Feb. 24. March 1 I ask with an email when the package would leave response 3/5 working days. The 4 phone for info.they explain to me that they had to rewrap my product. 9marzo the package starts tracking estimated arrival on 13marzo. 17 the package arrives. 21gg. to receive my purchase. Communication seller poor. Communication carrier bad even after gg.13 March continued to estimate the 'arrival of the package on 13marzo

Window display arrived broken, and no response to my complaint

Since you ask so insistently, I'll give my opinion.... Good order. But when I unpacked it, the tires of a vehicle were missing. I sent 3 emails to ask how this could be fixed. No, absolutely no reply! Since then, I've found the parts in the packaging, but I still have a bad impression. Another site selling models is much closer to its customers...

Shipping time not respected at all. (And therefore parcel delivered late) No return from customer service for the tracking of my parcel. Products ordered faithful to those in the shops.

I had a very hard time digesting the delivery charges, I ordered at the same time on other sites in mainland France - on Ebay by colissimo: 9.80 € - a site you know but which I won't name: 15.90 € (by colissimo) - In Japan: 10.00 $ - with you: 52.21 € Find the error

Very long delivery and broken parts on arrival, it was a gift so even more disappointed.

Very expensive and slow delivery

Placed an order on the UK site wrongly assuming the product would be shipped from the UK. Unfortunately this was not the case, large importation bill from hmrc. 1001 models didn't inform me the item was coming from abroad and on contact with them after didn't care. As long as they've got your money they're not interested in customer service!

Good navigation. But little product information. Arrived a 1/72 scale plane in vacuform, very low quality; if there were any other indication I certainly wouldn't take it. . Very slow delivery--too much waiting time.

Unfortunately the delivery was incomplete. Only two of the 3 items ordered were delivered. There was neither an explanation nor any contact.
Sad!

Unacceptable delivery delays! First order never received.... second shipment received after long wait (almost two months).

I sent an email because I am dissatisfied with the delivery, but so far no response. No Dutch construction description. No good explanation of the contents. bundles of laths but no explanation of what they are for.

Incredibly long delivery time.

Far too long delivery time and insufficient communication about it

Always wait 3 weeks before I receive my order
