Order sent 1 month after payment on items in stock refund of postage above 90 € I had to pay the cost of colisimo and not even a commercial gesture when I am a customer for years and I leave on average more than a hundred euro. I will no longer order from you and will no longer advertise on model forums.

Hello, We would like to thank you for your order and apologize for the processing time. 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. As for shipping costs, we remind you that they are free of charge for all orders over €90 at a relay point. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or require further information. Once again, we apologize for the delay and thank you for your understanding and patience. Yours faithfully

It looks like you can buy something on that site that is readily available but I had to wait more than 5 weeks for my stuff. That is absurd in these times. Everything was not shipped until everything was in stock. There had been plenty of other options (tassels were out of stock apparently) but no communication about it. Had I known this, I would have picked other tassels. The stuff was meant for a project over Christmas break so not amused that it wasn't delivered until February. Be-la-che-lish just like that.

As indicated in my mail, the order is unusable due to poor packaging combined with a clumsy delivery service. The website: if it says on the website that an article is in stock then it should actually be in stock. Do not send a mail afterwards," we have ordered it at our supplier". Your stock is not with your supplier but with you directly ready to ship. Tinkerers

Hello, We regret your opinion and apologize for the delay. You have ordered products (PG053 or PG052) which are particularly difficult to obtain. These items are delivered to us in dribs and drabs and are immediately placed on pre-order as soon as they are no longer available, which is precisely what happened in your case. We apologize once again and assure you that we will take good note of this information. Sincerely, 1001hobbies

I received the wrong items after delivery was already late. Instead of two bottles of Thinner, I received 2 small jars of paint. I contacted customer service & it took two weeks for a reply asking for pictures. Another 3 weeks has passed since I sent pictures. I've asked for an update but have not received an update or a reply. Customer service is poor AT BEST.

The whole process was a disaster and full of problems. From the delivery, which was not on time despite paying high premium shipping costs, it was delivered more than a week late and at a different address, I had to search through all the mailboxes on the street. I had to search through all the mailboxes in the street. I am still in the process of returning it and I can't get a refund and close the incident. The only good thing is the customer service via email, at first it was fast, then it stopped being fast too.

I placed an order beginning of December for making some christmas decorations. 1001 hobbies were so kind to wait 2 weeks before sending it with the result that it all arrived after christmas. Absurdly poor and stupid level of service! The one star necessary must be for not charging extra for keeping it on stock for the two weeks.

I bought two products 15 days before Christmas and it said they would arrive in a week. They did not arrive when it said, they did not notify me. After several unanswered calls I was told that they would arrive after Christmas, but in addition to being very late I only received one product. Bad communication and a disaster with the delivery. I ended up getting my money back for the other product.

Hello Sir, We regret your experience and apologize for the delay in processing this order. We confirm that the order will be shipped today. However, we would like to inform you that it will not include the Revell paint kit, which has delayed preparation until now. We have therefore issued a refund for this product.

The thing about these people is a joke. They send me an open product with a missing component, I claim for them to send me an unopened product, they reply that they do not have stock and it is out of stock and that they will see if they can find another supplier to send me that component. If we look at the return policy of the company, it clearly indicates that if a package is open they do not accept it, but nevertheless, they do send an open and incomplete one. And when I get serious and tell them that I want to make the return and recover the full amount of money, they answer me that ok, they accept the return but that the transport is on my account. Unbelievable. At the moment I order the bank to return the charge of the card and I will send them the product if they bear the transport costs. It is a problem generated by them.

Hello Sir, We regret your feedback and apologize once again for the situation you have experienced. However, we would like to clarify a few points. You ordered a Futaba radio control, whose box is meticulously weighed before shipment to ensure its contents. However, you contacted us to say that you had received a supposedly opened or second-hand product with the receiver missing. This seems unlikely for a product in this range. Despite this, we immediately contacted our supplier. They confirmed that they had shipped the missing receiver directly to your address to resolve the problem quickly. Unfortunately, you did not accept this solution and preferred to request an immediate refund. We simply asked you to return the remote control once the receiver was received, in order to limit the shipping costs between Spain and France, which are significant. We remain at your disposal for any further information and hope to be able to clarify this situation as soon as possible. Yours sincerely 1001 hobbies

Do NOT order anything from this company. I ordered some model paints on 12/27/24 and received a used, EMPTY, folder on 1/10/25. Had to email them twice to get a response for a refund and now I have to complete and sign an affidavit and wait for an investigation. Horrible service, stay far away from this company.

I am very dissatisfied. Delivery guaranteed according to the site before Christmas . Delivery on January 10th . I can hear in this period that there are delays but do not guarantee your deliveries to continue to take orders knowing that you can not meet your commitments. In short, once the delivery has been made, no apologies and nothing. I ask for a gesture for the delay (I could have cancelled the order or sent it back) and then they send me an e-mail offering me (with an e-mail explaining my good luck) 5 euros as a voucher on a future order (my order was 110 euros). Who are they kidding? I don't panhandle, so I'll leave you your 5 euros and buy my figurines elsewhere.

Hello Mr Mougenot, We sincerely regret your opinion and apologize for this incident. We would like to point out that you contacted our customer service department on January 6 at 1:58 pm to express your dissatisfaction with the missing part (the wood glue) and the difficulty in understanding the instructions. As soon as we received your message, we offered to return the model. However, you informed us that you had already started assembling it. Under these conditions, and in accordance with our general terms of sale, we are unfortunately unable to accept the return of a model that has already been opened. We remain available for any other request. Best regards, 1001hobbies
