The order I placed does not satisfy me at all, except for the gauzy and the clear fix. The helicopter SE .313 Alouette 2 does not suit me at all. I am very disappointed with your service. I do not understand why you accept to sell unfinished models. I am very disappointed.

When I ordered, it wasn't clear to me that I was ordering good from France. The delivery date that I was originally given was not very long. Ultimately, it took over two weeks to receive the paint I ordered. I would up putting the project that I was working on aside and moving on to something else.

The delay and handling of the order was not on point via Smartbox. The model was no longer available. 1001 hobbies first offered me a replacement model with an extra charge which I refused, then an equivalent model without extra charge. I waited 6 months.

The delay between the time of the order and delivery was far too long. The item I ordered was not in stock was not clearly indicated on the site, it was only mentioned at the time of the final confirmation for the delivery of the product (ordered on May 4, delivered on May 27). Basically, it's not dramatic, but it's just that the display on the site seemed a bit misleading to me, hence this negative impression, especially with more than 3 weeks of delay. It is very likely that next time I will think twice before ordering, and in the absence of clear information on stock/delivery I will not place an order.

I ordered a Boeing 747 1/72, paid by credit card, and then the following happens: I receive a written credit for the amount (about 640,-€), when investigating on the website I read that 1001Hobbies has canceled the order. In response to my comment that I want the goods or my money back and no voucher, I receive an answer: "We are proud to increase your voucher to 577,-€ and it is valid for 5 years." Again, I disagree: goods or money back... then I receive an email saying they found my order and sent it: something for 10,-€. Again, I object: B 747 1/72 or money back, then finally I receive an email saying they found the product and sent it. The B 747 also arrived (great kit)... but in the meantime it is offered for 40,-€ cheaper. Result: If you have nerves like steel cables, then dare to order from 1001Hobbies. They offer a great range. If you have weak nerves, be careful.

Hello Mr. Palouzier,

During your order BXSWJEIFN, we indicated to you, in the confirmation as well as on the product sheet, that this product would be delivered within a period of 1 to 2 weeks.

It is possible that some delays may sometimes be slightly longer, and we regret that.

We hope, however, that this model will give you complete satisfaction.

You are not clear about the shipping time. You are a French website with a Dutch coding. Plus a lot of negative reviews on Trustpilot. You made sure that I bought the product elsewhere. If you had been upfront that it could take a while, there would have been no problem. In short, a good ending to a negative experience.

Hello, I received your order with a lot of delay, not having any email, I had to send you one to find out what was going on. You replied that a product was missing and would be replaced by another which I accepted, but when I received my order, I realized that the product you sent me did not meet my expectations. It was a product for the airbrush and I do not have an airbrush. However, the other products I ordered are very good, nothing to say. Have a nice day.

I actually wanted to cancel the pre-order, but they did not want to refund my money. When I ordered it, I also paid extra for safe shipping, but it was just thrown in the box with only paper at the bottom. I hate this company; I hope it goes bankrupt. Thieves.

The stock management of 1001hobbies is disastrous. The ordered item was indicated as "in stock and shipped within 7 days". A few days after the order, 1001hobbies informs that their supplier is awaiting restocking of the item. Ah! There is indeed deception regarding the message displayed on the site. Fortunately, the item eventually arrived... but three months later, in February. It's a shame for a Christmas gift... No chance I will place a new order through this merchant site.

I ordered two items at the beginning of January, which were marked as "immediately available". One arrived, the second was missing from the package. In response to my inquiry, I initially received only automated replies. Later, I was informed that the missing item was suddenly not available and would be delivered months later. Additionally, there was an attempt to classify my order as a "pre-order", including a 25% cancellation fee. This does not add up for me, as the item was explicitly advertised as in stock at the time of purchase. A cancellation was only reluctantly accepted, and the refund ultimately went through PayPal. Product quality was okay, but service, transparency, and communication were unfortunately disappointing. Therefore, a maximum of 2 stars.

The delivery was very late. I'm not used to this from Dutch companies, on the contrary, they are top-notch. But if you have to get your goods not from the Netherlands but from France, the delay is clear. There was also a French document included with a French address...a "hint" to order in France? Good luck!
