Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

A needed service but with notable problems. 1001 modelkits is a needed service for those of us who like obscure and hard to find model kits but their are some serious flaws in their system. Firstly their website was often down or not accessible for periods of time. Secondly, just after making a order with them the email address I used was compromised and I needed to change passwords. Thankfully it was a email address with negligible info for thieves to use. Third, I ordered a specific as advertised scale model (CHI HA tank 1:72) but was given a slightly larger scale model (1:76) instead. Finally, a couple of the models I purchased were either intentionally or unintentionally opened or tampered with. If I'm paying full price for a new product then I would expect it to be untouched. As mentioned I am thankfull that 1001 model kits exits because theirs no one else out their like them that I've found but I'm wary of ordering again from them.

even for a colieco delivery I find it a bit long.

1001 models referenced... yeah, if you want, once you've deleted the products that are unavailable, there's not much left... and for the products that are supposedly in stock, you have to wait more than a week to receive them, even if you opt for the 48-hour collissimo service, which adds to the bill. In short, minimum service for a site that's not up to scratch.

at the time of my online order there were 6 Ariane V available so I ordered but on delivery I received only 1 copy + 1 e-mail telling me that we were out of stock and delivery would not be for about 20 days (which was not true) so I was disappointed for the first time so I re-ordered and I realized that I was still missing 1 e I finally received my last model but it took me almost 1 month. I am really disappointed because I thought I would receive them all for New Year's Eve at 31122011. My guests who I was supposed to give them a present were disappointed, so that's basically my opinion of this order. Sincerely Mrs DUR

Unfortunately, I've had two bad experiences with this seller. And both times the delivery was very long. 3 weeks and 1 m
