Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Ordered 0409 and still not delivered.

Poor execution Poor execution - I ordered online and chose Dhl shipping so that I would receive the item in time but my item was shipped regular mail and will definitely arrive much later than promised.

A few days after placing an order for a model, customer service got in touch to tell me that the product was out of stock and that the restocking date was estimated at 4-5 weeks. With no further certainty provided, I opted for a refund (now in progress). I appreciate the customer service's spontaneous contact, even if given the amount involved (just over €450) it was a minimum. I can also understand the announced restocking delay, given the origin. What doesn't encourage me at all to try again is, on the one hand, the number of reviews posted here mentioning this problem and, on the other hand, the fact that at the time of ordering this model was indicated as being in stock in 5 copies (unless I'm mistaken, that's still the case today! ). I think it's a pity to make it so difficult for people to know how many items are in stock, which must require a much heavier follow-up, and which has to be done for a certain number of items. In my case, it was shooting myself in the foot, because going from a stock of 5 announced to 0 in reality makes me wonder about the very existence of stock tracking, and doesn't really give a feeling of reliability.

The box arrived completely broken as it did not come with protective packaging. They have sent directly the box of the model that is a very thin cardboard wrapped with plastic. It was to make a gift and the appearance was horrible. For this that would not have increased their costs much I will not buy again in this store because you risk that the merchandise arrives destroyed.

The model is fine what I didn't like is that I didn't know when it was going to arrive the tracking number they sent me by email was not correct I tried to contact them to solve the issue and I got nothing. They did not reply to my email. That's why the score is so low.

I placed an order for a model on September 4 paying for a shipping service that promised to deliver the package between September 6 and 8. On the 7th I sent them an email asking about the status of the package and was told that it would arrive the following day (which was Saturday the 8th) or early the following week. I was also told that the tracking code would certainly be provided to me on the 8th. I told them how unhappy I was as I had paid extra money for it to be delivered between the 6th and the 8th. Trying to contact them in multiple ways I was given the tracking code on Monday via customer service chat. Finally the package arrived on the 12th and they mailed me the tracking code the day before. The package was correct and arrived in good condition. Overall my rating is bad and I am disappointed.

the delivery time was a little long and the parcel arrived crushed but nothing broken inside, but the parcel tracking imp

I sent off for the Douglas Bader… I sent off for the Douglas Bader spitfire model it arrived today in a plain brown box which was in perfect condition ""But"" when I opened it to reveal the kit box I was not please one bit, the kit box was battered infact if I had gone to a local model shop and it was the last kit in stock I would not have brought it in that condition. I will certainly not be purchasing anything from this seller again .

Excellent customer service and delivery (on time). On the other hand, the product (dolphin helicopter) had obviously already been opened because it was damaged (landing gear detached). The item was sold out but there was no mention of any discount.

Why does it take so long for delivery of my order? Why does it take 10 days from the time of my order (30 July) for you to pull two small sheets of decals from your stocks, put them in an envelope and mail them? Why did you not forward to me the tracking number of my order as you said you would do? Why did you omit CALIFORNIA from my address that I gave you? Why did you include my postal code mixed in with a bunch of other numbers making it very difficult to know where the package was going? This probably explains why it took another 16 days from the time you put the package in the mail to the time I received it yesterday (25 Aug)

I ordered an item and received it… I ordered an item and received it damaged. Sent pictures and still have to return the item to France. No names given of who to contact, only Customer Service Dept.! The item was not that much money but I did ask for a refund. The item was a vacuum formed canopy that is easily crushed and was sent in an envelope! Should have been in a box. Not a good experience.

I purchased decals for a model plane I was working on and the decals looked great and I put them on with no problems.

The shipment and the attention of 10 but the model very bad. There were parts that were missing holes and others that did not fit well ...

Very good servicethere areso many kits to choose from a from Very long list.

Not recommended at all. I paid for express shipping to get it to me before a specific date that was not offered by the standard mail and it ended up arriving even later than the date agreed as standard despite having paid a

Not very impressed with the shipping Not very impressed with the shipping 1 told it was going out DHL,, it did not. 2 two weeks wait for shipment 3 shipment was not boxed but wrapped with thin black plastic 4 the boxes inside plastic wrap were crushed on one side, and plastic wrap was torn open. This is the first time that I have had a problem hopefully the last, all other orders were great.

Very disappointed with my last order, which was shipped more than a week after I bought it, even though my order was supposed to be shipped within 24 hours! For the first time, very little information from 1001 maquettes on the progress of my order.

2 items ordered 1 compliant the other not. I've been waiting too long for the item I ordered to be sent to me. Multiple emails, no phone calls, inconsistent answers from one to the other. Very

Could have received my product sooner... Could have received my product sooner from another supplier.

Dissatisfied because for a package that should arrive in 4 days ordered and paid on June 12, 2018 we are June 20 and the package has still not left""entrepots"" de Normandie !!!!!! And when we ask to speak to the manager as of course he is absent !!!! I won't be ordering from this site again. It's a pity because for once I was happy to be able to order in French.

Very pleased with the servicealso very happy with the model thank you

DELIVERY TIME TOO LONG The dispatch note mentions May 3rd. But in fact the parcel only left on May 14th. There was no response from customer service. I will not use this company again.

15 days between order and delivery Time far too long

i ordered a model and had it sent by collissimo. it's been about 8 to 9 days that i've been waiting for the delivery ...it's slowing down with the cost of express delivery billed of course it's going to be the post office's fault the concierge etc. well change the delivery company. i live in paris i'd have wasted less time by going to a model store which i'll do next time.

ordered on 16.04.18 paid on 16.04.18 received on 07.05.18 NO GOOD SERVICE

I received an order without an item and after more than two weeks I am still waiting to know if they are going to send it to me or reimburse me.

Since it is necessary to evaluate""now"" order of April 20 not delivered on May 11 information on the parcel it would perhaps have been taken in charge by a deliveryman ..Avis""1001 Maquettes"" May 4 there will be a small delay. Information from Mondial Relay: they will not be able to deliver to the relay point which is.....saturated! What's the solution? We'll see on... May 14th. On a positive note: the 16894 euros were debited on April 23. For the moment it smells of either a scam or contempt for the customer. Sincere congratulations

Since April 19, I have been waiting for a package that shows as shipped and the tracking code as well. In the past much better service

My order was missing an item. I intervened by wire to claim this article. I am now waiting for it to be delivered free of charge of course.

The prices are very expensive and the shipping costs also expensive. I cannot be told to pay almost 15€ to ship a single item is as an answer I am told that it is the cost of the courier and if instead you spend almost 40€ the courier charges themselves are reduced almost by half. Inconsistency at its best

There are a good range of kits. I went through the order process but an error occurred with validation of payment. I then had an on-line chat which was very good but didn't solve the issue. His suggestion was to create an account and try again. I did this successfully. I was then pestered with text messages about my original unvalidated order as there was no correlation between the guest order and account holder order. I was also informed I would receive a tracking number but this also never happened. The kits arrived after 1 week.

I placed an order for a rafale C model at 200euros and it arrived in parts. I'm really disappointed, so I'd like to request a return and a refund.
