Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

Incorrect order reception

Actually I am still waiting for my order from over a month ago, how much longer do I have to wait ??

Only 3 stars because the delivery took a little too long for my liking (and I didn't hear from 1001hobbies during that time) and although the cardboard packaging was undamaged, the box containing the model was damaged, but fortunately the contents were unharmed.

I placed an order on the 8th November, and one on the 9th November. One arrived quite quickly the other took over a fortnight to arrive

I am very satisfied with the service but not at all with the delivery time (25 days!).

the parcel was what I expected but the restocking took a long time

delivery leaves something to be desired

Following an order placed on 18/10, I have only received part of my order and I am still waiting for the other part on 22/11. On the other hand, the full amount of the order was debited from my account on 19/10. No information until I contacted them by phone.

All products are very nice. Only thing is the HB-AO06167 is showing as die cast on the website. This is actually a model kit :-( Also, when I sent an email to inquire about the scale of the item HB-AO06167, I never received a response back.

Failure to meet delivery date

dommage il pourrait avoir une notice traduite en francais

On the product itself, it's OK, except that it was a return from a customer, so it's not new! It's OK, so we'll pass.... On the other hand, the advert to sell it stipulated, promo!! Free shipping, but in reality I had to pay €20 more..... And that's not glop !!!

Product was good, price was good. Delay in shipping ( due to current circumstances) ok, the bad part is the tracking process and there is no good contact customer service.

Generally ok but received an unexpected delivery cost of £68:51 which was not mentioned when i ordered. Also, USP demanded payment before handing over parcel, but they wouldn't accept a cheque (still legal tender) i don't do online banking and so had to find cash. pretty annoyed by both extra cost and UPS.

Finally delivered yesterday (long delay due to UPS and the broker in the UK messing about AFTER it had cleared customs. 1001 hobbies had already CHARGED me to use PayPal! Never had that before, from any supplier anywhere!! Then, on top of the VAT charged in France, I also got a massive import charge. So my order ended up being over £500+. I have to assume/hope the item will be 100% OK…not opened as it is a Christmas present. I don’t know if I could have ordered this anywhere else…but if I could have I would. Will never buy again from a seller that uses UPS, they let you down BADLY, so the whole experience was a bad one. Have never had so much messing about, and I ship from all over the world.

delivery rather late (more than a week), order itself also somewhat disappointed

Out of date, wrong order, excessive price!

Expensive shipping costs nr Netherlands

Fine, but I made two orders a day apart, and the sum of the two gave me free delivery.... One was sent to my address and the other by mondial relais , with both delivery charges.... Go figure. Too bad.

Hello, I had ordered the DS 19 for the 60 years of citroen, included in the box the convertible ref: 80795. In your quote it is still there and you have sent the ref;1000567950 hardtop, too bad I want the convertible.

The products were as ordered, but it took a week to arrive, one package came perfect and the other completely dented.

Used your website I clearly selected the item I desired but unfortunately there is a mistake with the website so very disappointed this has happened. I also think the website should have a language selection I like France but too much French language on website. More language friendly please!!!

Shipping and timing are good, but i find some products completely overpriced!....having chosen an item at the time on the market "out-of stock" I paid, in my opinion, dearly for the exclusivity.....Naturally all with my own knowledge.

I bought a model for more than 60€ and it leaves something to be desired for the price it cost. I paid 6€ for shipping and about 3€ for it to come gift wrapped, and it took longer than estimated (when at the time of purchase no one warned about it or put it on the website, then already put it in the item description), and the wrapping was a crappy wrapping paper with nothing else.

very badly precut figurine.quite disappointed this time

I took the gift wrap option because I'm not the best at making them, but honestly I would have done better!

note on your site when items are not available immediately

I had to wait far too long (almost a month) for my order to be dispatched, even though the product was supposed to be in stock (marked as available)... What's more, the prices weren't very competitive. The main advantage of this site is the wide range of products on offer, which you can't necessarily find elsewhere.

I ordered two pots of model paint, one of which was fine, but the other contained paint with a strange texture that was impossible to mix, resulting in a lumpy, non-flowing mass that could not be used.

navigation difficult and not intuitive, everything else ok!

Long waiting period and truck smaller than expected.

I think it is a good place to buy, my first experience has had some problems but I think they were exceptional and quickly solved when I reported the problem.

Unfortunately very late delivery , after calling customer service they tell me they had not been restocked and could not ship it to me on time . Ok however at least they could have warned with an email about the delay . When they sent it to me it arrived quickly , I hope it does not happen to others .

I didn’t receive an order confirmation email and had to chase for it. Products did arrive but there was an error with it. Asked for a refund and it was one. I would use them again bearing in mind these issues.0

Are you used to it? Items are not delivered within the timeframe specified when the order was placed. Too bad. Otherwise RAS

Delivery took too long, search engine does not work well

Very mixed in this review. Ordered 4 items:
Positive: Eduard prices great others fair
Negative: part number error/description for ICM 72072. It’s I-16 type 18 and not 28 which is ICM 72073. Sorry didn’t receive described item. All 4 packages damaged with Italeri models box actually torn. Open and models themselves are okay. Received message after complaint and basically can return at shipping rate greater than cost of model.

I was a little disappointed with the quality of the models. The parts are smaller than I expected and some don't fit together well. 2 out of 3 paints were dry. I had to add a little water to try and make them usable, but it wasn't very good. I think it's expensive for what it is.

The site is very comprehensive, with lots of references.
Easy navigation.
Only drawback: delivery times are a little long.

no worries about the product but the delay was too long for a product in stock having paid more for the fastest transport. ( tnt ) the gift arrived after the birthday ...
