Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

In a bubble envelope, do not send

The deadlines shown on the website are not what they are in the end at the time of delivery.

Item has still not arrived. Poor reply when I questioned delivery date.

pass

... average. Everything was announced in stock, but more than 3 weeks for preparation and delivery. Next time I'll order from China myself...

I was happy with my order, the figurines are very beautiful but I was disappointed with the delivery which was very long.

Communication was super bad via email. Had to call and got someone who spoke english on the phone who confirmed that something had gone wrong with the payment. She then initiated the order and promised that the package would arrive after 3 days.not so.was over a week later.so about 3 weeks after I had originally ordered it. No more orders for me with this company until she gets her act together.

awaiting SAV return

I will focus on three aspects of this review on the shop: the website, the communication, and the shipping.
The website is great! Everything is clear and easy to find and search. Nothing is glitchy and photos are very clear and descriptive of the item you're going to purchase. What you see in the picture is what you're going to get!
The emails and communication is a bit awkward. The only original email I received when I made the purchase was the notification from PayPal, NOT Hobbies1001. So I had to screenshot the purchase confirmation on my browser and luckily I downloaded the invoice before closing the tab. I'm only bringing this up because most people immediately close the tab when they finish making a purchase and so if they don't download or screenshot the information, then they don't have any way of contacting with their invoice info. This was a pre-order item so when it was past two weeks after the estimated date I sent them an email. The response was within 24 hours and they assisted me easy and provided me with a shipping confirmation! So in some aspects they could improve with their communication and maybe create an automated system where we get the invoice in our email, especially considering they offer pre-order items. I waited 2 and a half months and I still had to send them an email about my item and I knew if I hadn't saved a screenshot of my invoice I wouldn't have that info when I inquired. But when I actually had to contact a person, it was quick and easy and they were very helpful!
The shipping needs to be better. I was very disappointed. The package was literally just 2 layers of bubblewrap and packing tape with the label taped on top. The box of the figure was cracked open. Luckily the figure was fine but they really should have shipped with a cardboard box and packing paper. Collectors who display their figures in box would definitely be livid to see the box crushed in transit. Especially considering I paid $17 for shipping the least I expect is that it comes in a cardboard box.

Site navigation is correct and delivery is good. As for the product, a model of a WW2 aircraft, you should have specified ALL the characteristics of the product (number of parts, quality of manufacture, finish, etc.) The quality of the model is really very disappointing (SMER brand to be avoided) even if the price was low. If I had had more details, I would not have bought it ...

I received an order for Tamiya paints, which have no identification.

Very long shipping times

Preparation time too long (more than 2 weeks for my order of 2 items). Otherwise a lot of products in stock is good.

Paint cans do not fit into the notches. Unpractical for this purpose.

no news of missing product

The boxes were very deformed due to transport, please use more rigid packaging.

Packaging and article are very satisfactory. Delivery takes too long. With other suppliers it is faster

poorly packaged in the shipping box, not wedged....the small pieces have tumbled into the inner box ... box not taped, I hope there is nothing missing ... otherwise very fast shipping

delivery to the relay point very good . ordering models , I am disappointed with the model that comes from Poland the parts are very rough .

Disappointed by the delivery time and the lack of credible information in the order tracking, even if this is the result of a computer and telephone server problem. In addition, a delivery note with the parcel would be useful to help verify the presence of all the items ordered.

I was completely satisfied with the order, including the choice on the internet, which I will certainly return to. Only the delivery left something to be desired.

No problem with the order, choice of products or delivery, very satisfied. Unfortunately, of the two candles I ordered, one didn't work (the resistor didn't light and the candle got very hot) and the second worked fine. Half satisfied

Delayed delivery and boxes of models crushed on arrival

A bit misleading, thought I was using a UK based depot, products were available straight away del 3-4 days, didn't arrive, chased up to be told coming from France a week later, looking at other reviews this is not 1st others have had same situation.. When placing order should state where products are coming from, probable use again though

Delivery was incomplete at first; problem did eventually get resolved after contacting customer service 2x.

NOT DAVIS

I'm only talking about the model department: payment, delivery, telephone assistance: very good; large selection, especially of small-scale figurines. It should be possible to place items in the shopping basket without going through the product details, and a historical period criterion should be used for searches; non-competitive prices except for sales or clearance sales.

Parcel arrived on time but packaging crushed in letterbox

I was initially impressed by the great price. So I ordered immediately. Then searched for reviews and....oh shock found many negative ones. Waited and checked the shipment status again and again. Suddenly it said "not available". Checked the website and found out that the kit would not be available for another week, even if ordered immediately. I waited and...got lucky! and received the kit at the end of the week after all, which means a delivery time of two weeks, which is understandable when you know that they are based in France and not in Germany as the name suggests!
Conclusion: Despite the tempting prices and the low postage, not necessarily the first choice when ordering.

Eduard kit arrived on time and on target, but packaging was merely bubble wrap over an un-shrink wrapped flimsey Eduard box. This packaging is insufficent for travel to Canada. The box was damaged, the contents visible to the delivery system, but somehow, it survived contact with reality and got to me.

I had to e mail after the order myself and then received a link for T&T which did not work. Fortunately the item ordered arrived the other day, well packaged for which thanks.

Delivery too slow

The items are very good. But delivery, much too long.

I have not yet received the model

It's a pity when you've been waiting for an order for three or four weeks to have to phone to find out why...

Products very good, but carrier not good at all, packing box quite damaged.

1 article not available now have voucher of almost 40 euros

Wouldn’t know haven’t received item yet

if you're looking for something that's all yours, you'd better divide it up by category.
