    This was a complete rip-off for the price. A very very sub standard model kit from Heller that 1001 hobbies should not be selling. Missing parts, inaccurate instructions and impossible to finish satisfactorily. I am a level 5 model maker so no fool. Very very disappointed with 1001. Of

    The site is OK, searching could be better, yet the delivery has been very slow, hence 3 stars

    1001 Hobbies deserves a thumbs up for having delivered some bargain and difficult to source items to my door in good time and in excellent condition. I'd advise anyone, having found an item on their superb range of stock, to give them a go.

    This order has travelled quickly even faster than forecasted. However, I paid for a normal posting which makes all the difference vs the free post that is not tracked which with my previous order is 6 weeks and counting.

    Despite the name 1001 Hobbies.co.uk, this is a French company. You think that you are buying from the UK and their site doesn't clarify that you are importing and subject to import charges. Any complaints are ignored and you no longer exist once they have been paid. I will never use them again. 0/10.

    I found the 1001hobbies site very easy to navigate & when I saw a kit that I was really wanting to purchase at a good price, I saw this one. I completed the purchase, including opening an account, very quickly on 3rd March, & waited for delivery. As this is the most expensive kit that I have ever bought, (I have in the past with other suppliers, purchased & paid the cost of the kit as advertised on the website). There was nothing on the order form I could find that informed me of any other costs. (billing informed me that tax was included within the price). After 5 working Days, I contacted 1001hobbies by Email for an update & was informed that it would be shipped within 2 to 3 Working days. (that was fine). I tried using the Tracking Facility on the website (typing in my Order Number), but that didn't work. On the 17th March I received an Email from the Carrier informing me that the package was on its way. On the 23rd March, I received a letter from "Parcel Force" informing me that a VAT charge Clearance Fee was required to release this package. I Emailed 1001hobbies & tried to use the "Support" facility on the website. This only informed me that it would be answered "soon", (other websites can have an online chat available). As I didn't receive an answer by 24th March, I contacted "Parcel Force" & paid the extra charges. The kit was delivered on the 25th March. What an excellent model, really pleased with it. My reason for only giving 3 Stars is due to the "Not being aware the extra charges required to have this delivered",& taking 16 Working Days for it to be delivered. I have received an Email from 1001hobbies on the 26th March, informing me that due to BREXIT, orders over GBP132 are subject to taxes requested by customs. There is NOTHING that I could find on the Purchase Order informing me of this, even though in the same Email informs me that this information is indicated on the summary of my basket. I have since tried to find this & still cannot find it. My comment to 1001hobbies is, Please make this visible in UPPER CASE & HIGHLIGHTED, as you do for the "COVID HEADLINE ON DELIVERIES". As I know this information now, I will take this into account, if I use 1001hobbies again in the future.

    Placed an order on the UK site wrongly assuming the product would be shipped from the UK. Unfortunately this was not the case, large importation bill from hmrc. 1001 models didn't inform me the item was coming from abroad and on contact with them after didn't care. As long as they've got your money they're not interested in customer service!
