I really do love the magazines and it has been just what I needed for starting into the hobby and not knowing how to paint. Only reason it’s not a 5 star rating is because we don’t get the same perks... See more

Lovely collection of Peter Rabbit cross stitch 4 season samplers. But lots of other patterns and ideas too. The designs can also be used individually or put together as a sampler as intended.

Poor company and customer service

Poor company and customer service. I have no subscription on my account yet they still charge me then refuse to refund unless I pay to send a product back I did not ask for. No help at all from customer service. Do not use this company

Great service

I bought issues of the Winny the Pooh quilt making series for my Mum. My Mum enjoys making things and has been excited to get all the issues she had missed from the series so far.

The website was easy to navigate. It is great that you can select individual issues. Delivery was quick - great service as I bought a number off issues at the same time. They all arrived at the same time and delivery was free due to the number of issues bought at once. This was a great service that I will use again to help my Mum complete her quilt!.

Ups handing off to USPS must stop

Ups handing off to USPS must stop, I pay for shipping and the USPS handling of packages is incorrect, unprofessional and damaging to the package. A neighbor found it sitting on the grass at the base of our (because it did not fit in it)mailbox cluster brought it to my house, my other neighbor brought it over because it was in her mailbox not mine. Rough handling jamming it in the mail box with other mail.

Great way to start a 40k journey

Everything arrives on-time and intact, the curated selections are great, and it’s a perfect way to build up a significant 40k collection without either a massive up-front expense, or an overwhelming pile of unpainted minis!

Hatchette - Quality Kits Quality Company Quality Support!

I have written positive reviews for Hatchette in the past, but recently I had one delivery where one of the kits may have fell through a tear in the bag or possibly misplaced. I contacted Hatchette and they responded quickly and with courtesy, I had a replacement kit part within a week. Especially now it is nice to see I am working with a company of humans who genuinely care about the satisfaction of the customer and want to see that their product delivers what the customer invests in. I have been working on the Dalek kit which seems more than a year - but the monthly deliveries and the steady construction of a quality kit has made this more than a purchase but a very cool hobby I can look forward to participating in each month!

Trying to change my address

Trying to change my address for delivery of our Disney books for my 4 year old son but they just never respond. When I login it says the only way to change a delivery address is to email them which I have done a number of times and never get a response. Our latest book has now been delivered to our previous address yet I emailed them in plenty of time. I am desperate!!!!
