This company is a ripoff they do not inform you about import duties £56.00 on my order you think you are buying from an UK company , but you then find out it is a french company, you receive an email asking for import duties !!!!!!!! we all know how many scam emails we receive. You then ask 1001 hobbies for confirmation of import duties, they then do not reply so you check the couriers website. Even worse they have shipped the package with useless parcel service oops I mean UPS they say I can pay the driver upon delivery I then receive an email telling me UPS have failed to deliver twice even though I was at home on both occasions. getting no help from 1001hobbies I managed to sort out delivery and payment with UPS . IF you are a UK modeler steer clear of these scammers. you will probably be able to buy what you want from a reputable UK wholesaler.

Sir,
Thank you for your email. We regret that you did not see that we indicate on the site that customs fees may be added for orders over 136€.
We apologise for this incident, but since the BREXIT the British customs have added charges.
Sincerely,
1001hobbies customer service.

Nul hyper nul, and once again my opinion will be refused... They sell you models with unusable plans and this company doesn't give a damn, they give you a credit of 15% of the price of your order excluding shipping costs, which of course remain at your expense. (35€ for a 240€ purchase that goes into the garbage)

It does not fit my needs. I was interested in two 1000 l. tanks for waste. Not the supposed model that I received. The advertisement of the item, is totally misleading. I am pending to return it and to be refunded the amount paid. I hope this is not a scam. I need instructions to the effect, which I expect to receive.

Run away from this store, error when buying an item, email within 12 hours to cancel the order and no response. The store sends the item (it happens) on the other hand procedure for product return initiated on their site (archaic by the way) and it's been 5 days that I'm waiting for someone to deign to answer me, the way customers are treated is not acceptable.

Terrible! Sent me the wrong kit, finally accepted that they had made a mistake, promised to send me a return label so I could return it, and two weeks later no sign of it! I am still, a month later, still without the kit that I PAID FOR! Awful! Do not shop here!

Hello, Thank you for your order. We regret this incident, twice we asked you for your Iban because the one you gave us is not the right one, we then asked you for an official document from the bank, but you did not want to transmit it.
We are sorry for your comment, but we cannot refund you today because French law requires us to refund you through the payment channel.

The order arrived very late. One item (Marvel figure) was delivered broken in the box. When I contacted customer service, I was answered in Dutch and was not offered a return or anything similar for a defective item, but a voucher for 5 euros. Is that a joke? I was also asked to send a photo. Just keep your hands off and order elsewhere for a higher price than from this joke of a company.

Mr GIVELET, Thank you for your comment. We would like to stress that there are 3 concepts to take into account on the site: In stock: dispatch within 48 working hours. These are physically stocked in the company's warehouse in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier. Available: dispatch within X to X days. These products are not currently in stock at the company's warehouse in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier and are generally dispatched within X to X days following the user's order, depending on the lead times of the various suppliers. Not available: these products are currently out of stock and cannot be ordered at the moment. As a result, some lead times may be extended due to current problems. We thank you for your understanding, 1001hobbies customer service.

Horribly disappointed by 1001 hobbies, my box of Warhammer miniatures wasn't even in a cardboard box, just wrapped in bubble wrap, so the box was damaged, and there was some damage inside, notably to a set and part of a miniature. This shows just how little seriousness this store takes. Disgraceful. I've never seen such sloppy service in the model world. A Flee.

Ordered a model which was sent back for some reason. I was informed and told it would be on its way but as yet no model and no reply to my emails. Don't mind the delay as long as they keep me informed but lack of communication is very poor. Will be getting bank to recover money if model/communication not forthcoming soon.

Our order. An expensive two way radio headset was delivered faulty. The main headset was damaged and not functioning properly. We told them on the customer service contact which was an incorrect email. We are very concerned that we may not get a replacement item or our money back. The fact that the email address is not working gives us cause to believe that we are in trouble with this.

They are scamming UK buyers as they are trying to give the impression that they are UK based, with their .co.uk website, and London contact phone number. They are actually in France, and so you must pay much more money in import fees. Don't buy from this fraudulent company if you are not in the EU.

This is the second time I ordered from 1001, and both times they got it all wrong. The company has potential if they would get their act together. It made me mad that they kept the cost of shipping, which was more than I paid for the item I never got. Only a partial refund. They suck.
