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.
I received a bubble envelope with all the products I ordered quickly, but the problem is that the Italeri brush was not sufficiently protected and therefore received broken. Too bad I don't think I'll be ordering from you again as the packaging is not up to standard.

Out of stock, overpriced late postage. Ordered 17 packs of card dividers in various colours, left 4 packs out as stated out of stock on site. A while after ordering was notified they had to get stock in, even though it stated in-stock and i refreshed up until purchasing, and you cannot purchase if out of stock. Items came 2 1/2 weeks later in oversized box, with an invoice thats in French. Postage was way overpriced at over £7. Product was as described, which is the only plus.

Dear Andrew Harris, Your package's preparation started on the 4th of March, less than 48h after you did your order. In order to minimise the shipment's costs, we wait till all of your products are available and send them at once. You had chosen the standard shipment method, since we send our products from France, it is normal for it to take some time. The delay that occurred with your package delivery is not in our reach, but depends on the shipment company in your country (so in your case, the UK). Best regards, 1001Modelkits' customer service

Discrepancy of information between site (material available immediately) and actual inventory situation (material available in days) resulting in incorrect communication about material delivery. Information ""revisable"" regarding tracking of shipment and consequent status of material. The survey request arrived that not even the material had left and exchange of several communications to get information and tidbit final material delivered and from the site communication that the package had left. To you the appropriate comments. Check Vs site where you say ""In stock shipments within 24 hours"" and review your response. Only after my info request emails you wrote to me that the shipment would start upon receipt of the material ""present"" but not ""present"".

On 25.01.2019 I ordered the item no. HELL52904 (invoice no. DE146167 order no. 156103). Unfortunately I had to realize that 3 colors were not included (No. 11166 and 209). I complained about this defect by email on 11.02.2019 and have not heard from you to date. You had replied to me that you would take care of this matter immediately. When will I receive my missing colors?

Before buying I sent an email to know if the product (noted in stock shipped in 24h) would be delivered before 8 days. The answer was positive if you order today which I did and paid for express delivery. When nothing arrived and the site was not being prepared, I called 36 hours before the event for which we needed the gift. I was told (very kindly) that I had ordered a model that was not available! After looking for acceptable alternatives, I ended up taking a model that cost €450 more! and I was assured that it could go immediately and that I'd have it in time. This was not the case and I arrived for the retirement of our colleague with a photo... It was extremely embarrassing, especially for the people who had contributed to the gift. I

Overall Poor Service Placed and order for a model plane in mid December. Order was expected to ship about 7 days after order placement and ship with DHL. It did ship when expected, however, the DHL tracking number they provided did not work. Their e-mail reply stated that their ""logistic partner made a mistake"" and it shipped some other way with no tracking number. I was refunded some of the shipping cost. When it arrived, the shipper box arrived in very good condition with no signs of damage, physical or weather related. I point that out because when I opened the shipper box and took out the model's box, I quickly could tell that the model's box had previously gotten wet. Anyone could see and feel that the box got wet and then dried. It also means that their order processing department could tell and shipped out the box anyway, knowing it might have issues. The water did reach the components inside. I'm okay with the plastic parts getting wet, no harm, I'm okay with the manual being warped by the water and the staples on it getting rust, it still readable. I'm not okay with stickers warping, fading colors, and losing adhesiveness. Sent two e-mails before getting a reply. They said they would send replacement stickers. I e-mailed back asking if possible to ship in box instead of an envelope because the likely hood of bending. Did not received a reply. 5 weeks later, no stickers. Send an e-mail, they don't reply. Send a second e-mail, they don't reply. 6 weeks later still no replacement stickers. First and Last purchase with 1001 Modelkits. By the way, their price for the model is about 35% over the original retail price.

The item and the box arrived damaged. I contacted the store they attended me right away but first they blamed the carrier when the packaging that came to me was not in bad condition and told me that either I paid the return costs or I kept the broken item and they gave me a voucher of 10 euros as an exception. I did not like the treatment at all. I consider that this store lacks seriousness and I will not buy again.

The purchase of December 13 has arrived on January 11 when they promised 10 days at most. I added items so that the shipping costs were free which was my surprise when once I made the purchase I saw that this was the option peoe and no tracking number so all this time I have not been able to know anything about my order. It was a gift for christmas day and it has not arrived even for kings a pity.

Misleading description of the material quality of the item ordered (Airplane): Advertised in metal, the reality: half metal, half plastic. Why advertise a scale on the catalog that doesn't correspond to reality when it would be simpler to put the real size of the object? All in all, very good value for money, no hidden costs.
