1001hobbies stands out for consistent product availability and a well-curated selection, with new items arriving regularly and kept in good condition, alongside pricing that customers find appropriate and competitive. The store demonstrates reliable and fast shipping, with many orders arriving quickly and packaging described as careful and neat, contributing to a smooth overall delivery experience. Customer service and communications are highlighted as responsive and effective, with several mentions of helpful follow-up and smooth transactions, while the majority of positive notes emphasize dependable fulfillment and satisfaction with the product quality and value.
Not great, communication is poor and the phone number doesn't work! Sent a email asking where my model was as the delivery was taking forever. Response was slow, they eventually got back to me with a brief message that was not massively helpful. They have to ship items from their warehouse in Normandy which they don't show on the website very clearly.

I ordered the Russian Luna 1 rocket with its lunar probe. The box shows the rocket on the right and a second spacecraft on the left. But only the Luna 1 rocket on the right is in the box. The caption is very poorly written, as it implies that there are 2 spaceships in the box.

I'm usually very happy with my orders, but this time I'm a bit disappointed. The health situation does call into question delivery times. But paying 20€ for delivery to have my model in 3 weeks I don't think that's right. Especially since it was always noted 2448h. I have not yet received my model as I write this comment. Have a nice day!

My order was for a model of the Glorieux boat, which arrived safely. It said that the glue and paints were not supplied, so I bought everything I needed for the model. I reread everything several times, but at no point did it say that I also had to buy the shroud wires, and there was no indication of exactly which paint to use (reference number, etc.). So I took the ones that were just recommended and I was missing 4 more than expected, so I had to place a new order! What's more, the site bugs a lot and my second order still hasn't arrived.

Claimed items were in stock and took payment for a expedited delivery. Failed to confirm and took too long to reply to communication. Never saw my order and cancelled after 11 days. 1001 Hobbies then tried to claim that I knew these weren't in stock fortunately I took a snip of the item description screen (which I'm happy to share) which shows this is untrue and I did indeed order in good faith. Would not order from again. IPMS Cold War SIG Leader

After placing my order online I never received any order acknowledgement or despatch notification emails. Any attempt to ascertain any response by email resulted in zero reply. Only after raising a case with Paypal the product that advertised as in stock was dispatched 12 days after ordering according to the postmark on the package. This is NO WAY WHATSOEVER to treat a customer. Therefore I will no longer deal with 1001maquettes. In addition their new named website 1001hobbies.fr results in a security warning from my security software. Warning? ADDITIONAL INFO IN RESPONSE TO SUPPLIER REPLY. I ensured that my email address was correctly entered there is no soft bounce my email queries did not elicit any response. 4 to 6 business days don't equate to a total of 12 days. Last of all the website DID say in stock so please do not question my integrity. FURTHER REPLY TO SUPPLIER 2ND REPLY. I have NEVER had such level of problems with any other online supplier of goods. Your 1001hobies.fr still produces a security warning for me. Therefore I abide by my decision to take my business elsewhere.

The service from the saleswoman was perfect However, what lags behind at this company is the assortment I came to the store from Zaandam assuming that all the items I had asked for were in stock This was not the case However, what has greatly determined my opinion is the fact that these could not be ordered either Hence my grade

Although the description of the object makes it clear that it's a model 118 motorcycle in particular, the image misled me. It would therefore be preferable to put the correct image on it, so that the photo would be more accurate.

3 orders 3 tests... Systematic stock errors with products that are supposed to be available and in the end have to be ordered. A designation error on the site and long delivery times....very long...(3-4 weeks...). Certainly some choice in the window... Reasonable shipping costs... But I'll be looking elsewhere for my next orders.

We are now at 20 days and the order is being prepared. In the end, it won't be for my son's 12th birthday, but for his 13th :) with the added bonus of a poster that should make up for the disappointment. Will the order ever arrive?...Ã

Accidentally created an order tried calling no response on either USA number. Sent an email got a very professional reply saying that they would cancel the order and I would get a refund within 14 days. Sure sounds great. Except that I got a notification from the delivery company saying that my package is still arriving and 1001 Model Kits has not responded since regarding the package or refund status. The package is now waiting at the delivery company's office and I have yet to hear back from them. BTW their website changed the price from $20 on like 4 payment screens to $140 on the very last payment screen for a $14 item (that weighs about 1oz). (it seriously says $125 charged for shipping on the email I received). I'm assuming it's a software bug and they dont intentionally swindle people... but the fact that they shipped my item despite telling me they would cancel my order within 24 hours of placing the order makes me think that they're running a scam. At the very least it doesn't feel like their customer service works very hard to make things right.

I feel kinda ripped off I paid 65€ for express shipping from france to switzerland and still waited 20 days for my package to arrive. Even though all items were listed as available. Prices are with tax included but they shouldnt if the customer is outside of France. (In the End i paid around 413$ for the same item i could have gotten from Ebay for 320$ with faster shipping and less trouble. Thats why i rate it Poor for anyone who lives outside France. But what i also have to say that the items arrived in perfect condition and everything was okay. Customer service was also really nice and helpful. But still....
