Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

It overwhelms me that I can no longer choose home delivery but have to pick up my package miles away at an ESSO station.

I'm quite satisfied with 1001hobbies.fr's service, but I'm critical of their lack of attention to the orders I place with them. On my 1st order, in which I used Tamiya shades, I asked them in a message to add the main shades that a beginner modeler would need. They added Heller shades, and... Humbrol enamel shades. A nice mix that will be difficult for me to exploit. A pity. I've recommended my missing shades on another site, which is a pity, because if it hadn't been for this incident, I'd have given it 5 stars.

My purchase was held in U.S. Customs because someone at 1001hobbies.com did not fill out complete paperwork. I was required to contact U.S. Customs and give information to them or it would not be released to me. This is NOT good business practice in the U.S. It is not good business practice anywhere. I will seriously have to reconsider before dealing with 1001hobbies.com again.

I am going to buy again, but my order had some problems and delays, and the communication (maybe because it was summer) was not the best. Even so, I understand that these things happen, and it is true that, with those difficulties, it was solved.

1st bag received with a large trace of bic pen, after several emails for an exchange (I was first offered a voucher of 10 €), we received a bag perfectly wrapped with plastic protection what did not have the 1st ... but finally the order is perfect!

Item was good but (I now realise) expensive and dispatch time (2+ weeks) was disappointing.

Functional site.

No response. No human contact

Delivery times too long.

took way too long

Delivery time much too long, but satisfied with the material delivered.

Everything is perfect and very well packaged, as for delivery .... Order preparation times are too long, up to 4 days when you pay for delivery. This is really annoying, even for a current order, the same problem takes too long and this puts the brakes on the purchase, which is a shame because the site offers everything at a very competitive price, but everything else is perfect.

for immediate delivery (02/09) effective on 07/09! no late notice!

packaging was damaged and few boxes in it were flattened, to contents fortunately was not broken.

Among other things, I had ordered a 125 ml vial of Humbrol nail polish thinner, but because it was not available, it was purged from my order. It was refunded to my credit card, but I would have preferred to be offered an alternative (e.g., 2 smaller packages). Shipping times not expeditious. Communication practically takes place on the French site and is not always clear. Other than that, eventually what was ordered (minus the thinner) arrived.

On the internet more clearly state when to build all by yourself much have to search still with some doubts

so-called immediate delivery: order placed on 16/08 delivered on 02/09 - promo code not taken into account -products found at much lower prices elsewhere since then

The model is great, but there's no paint supplied, so I'm disappointed.

The contents of the package met my expectations, but the delivery time was far too long.

I received my package crushed and opened although nothing was missing (enamel paint). The packaging had the brand's name all over it and was therefore not anonymous as is usually the case. The information displayed on the box could encourage a dishonest person to look at its contents and possibly retrieve it.

In my last order, two pots of aqua de revel paint looked more like putty than paint. Impossible to use them.

Time to order from supplier a bit long

Parcel arrived damaged fortunately no breakage. Very large choice but prices a little expensive.

I have placed three orders this year. In general, fine. But from the first order of 23 February I still haven't received one of the items, despite repeated announcements that it was on its way and that the item was paid for with the rest of the order. I really don't know what is going on. I think there is a lack of coordination between departments. I don't know what action to take anymore. It's a pity, since, except for the above, the company has been doing reasonably well.

Fast delivery, but more than three weeks to wait for the figurines

The product was fine and reasonably priced, but it was not clear that 1001Hobbies.co.uk was actually in France so the delivery took ten days.

Waiting time far too long. Avoid offering a product that is out of stock.

It took a long time but everything was fine

It is difficult to search for a display case because the dimensions are not always listed in full.

I ordered a duplicate of a spray can I'd received from TAMIYA COLOR a few days earlier. On the cap of the spray can, the reference number is marked TS-81.
In the search engine, if you type TS-81, you find NOTHING that corresponds to a can of Royal Light Grey paint. If you enter Royal Light Grey in "recherche" you find your spray paint product with not the reference TS-81 BUT TATS-81. By typing directly in "recherche" TATS-81 you find your product on the 1st try!!!! Those who developed the online sales site are not professionals and would do better to sell zucchini and turnips at the local market, I think they would have more skills!!! Really the site is very poorly done, but when you order several times you understand quickly!! Greetings

To be improved clarity in delivery service. Like goods and customer service good.

My order took a month to arrive and without explanation, stuck in transfer, it's a bit long for an item in stock.

I had no trouble navigating the site, and the delivery of the products and telephone contact were correct. However, as far as the products are concerned, I was disappointed by the decal sheet.
In fact, for the high price of this DACO DECAL item, I only got a few roundels and badges, but NO fuselage code, and only one profile out of two (same for the wings above and below).
I was hoping to receive a more complete and detailed plate. Thank you for your understanding.
Have a nice day.

Delivery is often not in accordance with the indicated deadlines.

Items are good but prices ads shipping way too high.

The number of models great, the order easy to place, the delivery could have been faster and the condition of the product upon arrival good. Overall good

Takes persistently long for order to be delivered, 2 months is not an exception, by the way, delivered well taken care of, great stuff

Perfect packaging, very good condition. Some reservations about the timing and the.unclear delivery dates

Delay in ordering a second battery, although the quantity was sufficient when the order was placed. But after this problem delivery OK.

really too small too bad because it's adorable
