Shoddy kits

I have given you only 1 star because a lot of the screws nuts bolts were missing from the kit it's a good job I had extra bits from other models or I wouldn't have been able to finish it

My delivery was lost and after numerous email to them eventually they confirmed it was lost. No apology, no compensation, just we can refund you and it will take up to 14 days. I re ordered as I wanted the model. Customer service is very poor.
Don’t think I will use again.

Always up to date with the progress of your shipment

I like that 1001 Modelkits are always up to date with the progress of your shipment. They keep an eye to see and check if the shipment is delayed, and when you would expect your model kit to arrive. Mine was held on customs and they let me know right away this could take a few more days to clear customs. But once cleared, they also let me know and I received the package in time! Thank you guys!

Order placed on hard to find model kit.

I placed an order for a revell model kit in early February, and as the item had to come from an external supplier (probably) it took a little while for 1001hobbies to get their hands on it and forward it from France to the UK. I expected there to be shipping delays, and had no problem with waiting for the parcel to arrive. I got in touch with them about the delay and they replied quickly and suggested when I would be expecting the parcel.
When it did arrive I found it had only been wrapped in a sheet of bubblewrap to protect it which didnt really do the job. The soft card of the kit box had buckled and had been torn on the corners, meaning the box was warped. Fortunately no parts inside were damaged.

Overall I was initially impressed by the stock available on the one website and their customer service, but a bit dissapointed that a model/toy shop didnt package a £50+ fragile model kit order in sufficient packaging to withstand airmail and customs checks better.

When placing my order

When placing my order, I wanted 2 of the same item but at checkout the site said only 1 available. No problem. But the next day I went back to the website and they had one more in stock. I emailed the company to inquire about it but didn't get a response. I ended up having to order the item again and pay the $25 shipping charge all over...
