4: The delay is too long and when there are problems, it requires a whole circus (photos) to get a response when a return would suffice........ Mr. Rivoire

5: Hello dear customer,

We regret your feedback and apologize.

The photos are necessary for us as they are part of the return procedure to determine responsibility. We remind you that we cover the return if it is our fault. Therefore, we really need these photos and we thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

I purchased two products together, the package arrived and inside I found only one. I ask for explanations and they respond that the product was no longer available. They should have informed me instead of leaving me with the unpleasant surprise.

Good morning, We are sorry to read your opinion and we apologize to you. The products in question were unfortunately not available. For this reason, we decided to ship your order without these items and a refund was issued for these two products. Have a nice day, The 1001Hobbies team

2 months between the order and receipt, for figurines that were supposed to arrive in a week...
Translated reviews
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello Sir,

We sincerely regret this review and apologize for this delay.

We would like to clarify that at the time of your order, the product SHOOTOUT! Vietnam War Series, for which you ordered two copies, was only received in stock as a single copy. As soon as we received the order, we immediately placed a new order for the product to send it to you as soon as possible.

We renew our apologies for this setback and advise you to prioritize products marked as "shipped today" to ensure their immediate availability.

We remain at your disposal for any questions or follow-up and hope to fully satisfy you with your future orders.

Best regards,
1001hobbies.

3 weeks delay given the shipping rates....not very satisfied!
Translated reviews
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello Sir,

We sincerely regret this review and apologize for this situation.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the product ELASTIC RIGGING SPOOL (SUITABLE FOR 1:72 / 1:350/1:700) was ordered from our supplier the day after your order. However, due to a delay from the supplier, of which our logistics service was not informed in time, the shipment took longer than expected. Some suppliers prefer to wait until they have a larger order before shipping products, which led to a shipment within 2 weeks, instead of the contractual week.

We thank you for your understanding and remain at your disposal for any further questions.

Sincerely,
1001hobbies

3: Hello Sir,\n\nWe sincerely regret your review and apologize for this incident.\n\nWe would like to remind you that your order was placed on 27/02/2025 at 11:37. This order included two products with a longer delivery time (shipped within 2 to 4 weeks, as indicated on the product sheet).\n\nOn 26/02/2025, we took the initiative to split your order, at no additional cost, in order to first send the products in stock and defer the shipment of the two concerned products: "Brunswick Napoleonic Cavalry: 12 Mounted Riders" and "Dutch/Belgian Artillery 1815". These two items were ordered from our supplier in England, and it is not uncommon for delays to occur regarding the delivery of these orders.\n\nIndeed, being a small business, 1001hobbies does not have a warehouse large enough to store all 200,000 references available on our site.\n\nWe thank you for your understanding and remain at your disposal for any further questions.\n\nBest regards,\n1001hobbies

Lack of communication and stock problems. If I hadn't complained, I would still be waiting.

Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, We regret your comment and apologize for this incident. We would like to clarify some details about the information on our website. There are two states to distinguish: 'Available': the product is in stock with our supplier and requires a lead time before shipping. 'Available - shipped today': the product is in stock in our warehouse and can be shipped immediately. Unfortunately, the BMW M635CSI 1:24 plastic model car could not be ordered from our supplier. Therefore, our customer service has shipped the available products and has taken your change request into account as soon as possible. We remain at your disposal for any additional information. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

Game damaged, ordering system a bit weird with products available but available. I don't think I'd recommend this place. Having said that, because not everything is black and white, good customer service was reactive in sending me part of my order (even though it was damaged).

Response from 1001hobbies


Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are still waiting for photos of the damage to the game so that we can provide you with an appropriate response.

In addition, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that we are an SME and that our warehouse does not allow us to stock the 200,000 references offered on our site. That's why we emphasize two key concepts:

Available products: These items need to be ordered from our suppliers before they can be dispatched.
Products available - dispatched today: These items are in stock in our warehouse and can be dispatched immediately.
The product concerned is often a rare item or at the end of a manufacturer's pre-order period, which means that it has been specially ordered for you.

We regret any confusion and remain at your disposal should you have any questions.

Yours faithfully

onjour Monsieur,

We regret this situation and your opinion. We apologize for this incident. We would like to inform you that these products were not delivered to us by our supplier. In accordance with our company's procedure, we have therefore withdrawn these products from your order (a request for reimbursement is in progress for these items).

We would like to thank you for your confidence in us.

We apologize once again.

The product was marked "available" when I ordered it ... but I waited 15 days before receiving it. A misleading and regrettable statement
Translated reviews
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello,

We apologize for the delay in processing your request. We would like to draw your attention to two important points on our website:

Products indicated as "available" are currently on order with our suppliers for our customers.
Products marked "available for dispatch today" are in stock in our logistics warehouse, and are dispatched within three days.
We regret that the distinction between these two statuses was not clear to you.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours faithfully

7 days to send products that are "available" or "sent in 24h" is not cool. And it's not the first time, unfortunately.
Translated reviews
Response from 1001hobbies
Hello, We apologize for the delay in processing your order. In fact, all the products in your order were in "available, shipped today" status, with the exception of the M5A1 with 4 figures, which was available but needed to be ordered from our supplier. The delay you noted therefore corresponds to the delivery time between our supplier and our logistics depot. We would also like to remind you that there are two concepts to take into account on our site: "Product available": means that the item is referenced on our site but must be ordered from our supplier. "Product available, dispatched today": means that the item is in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be dispatched within 3 days. We apologize for any confusion and remain at your disposal for any further information. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

Hello, We would like to thank you for your order and apologize for the delay in processing. We understand that this may have been frustrating, and we're doing everything we can to improve our turnaround times. We would also like to remind you of two important points concerning our site: Product availability: "Available": These products are ordered specially for you from our supplier. "Available - dispatched today": These products are in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be dispatched immediately. As part of your order, three products were ordered from our supplier in England, which explains the additional delay for these items. Postage and packing: We inform you that postage and packing are free for all orders over €90. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require further information. Once again, we apologize for the delay and thank you for your understanding and patience. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

We apologize for the delay in processing your order. We would like to remind you that there are two types of availability on our site: "Available": these products are ordered specially for you from our supplier. "Available - Shipped today": these products are in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be shipped immediately. As indicated in your order confirmation received on the day of your purchase, 4 of the products ordered could be shipped immediately. However, the product 516 PCS HC WWII /3110/ DUKW AMPHIBIA required an order lead time of 2 weeks, which explains why your order was delivered at the end of January.

The items purchased were marked as "available", which made me prefer them ( while costing more than elsewhere ) over other sites where they would be "available to order" ( at a lower price.) Once ordered and paid for I then learned that before they would be shipped they would have to be ordered from the supplier, which extended the time. Had I known that the packages were not immediately fisponable I would have ordered elsewhere and spent less.

Hello, We are sorry for the incident and apologize. We would like to remind you that 1001hobbies is an SME and that we do not have a large enough warehouse to store the 200,000 product references on our site. It is also important to specify two essential notions to keep in mind on our site: Products available: these products are in stock at our supplier and require an order. Products available - shipped today: These products are in stock at our logistics warehouse and can be shipped immediately. We apologize again for this incident and regret that the nuance was not clearly understood. We wish you all a good day. Best wishes to all, 1001hobbies

I've had a few problems with this site recently. When I accidentally placed a duplicate order (keep an eye on the quantities in the basket), I immediately reacted by sending messages and e-mails. I did receive one copy, but I've been waiting for a refund on the other for almost a month. Another example of my perennial dissatisfaction: when I was unpacking a model, I realized that a decal sheet was missing: I sent them a message, they replied saying they'd take care of it... then nothing. Now I wait...
