House of Hobbies Reviews

Checking out was a pain. My payment kept failing for no clear reason, and I had to rebuild my cart twice, which was super frustrating. I just wanted to place my order, but the whole checkout process made it way more annoying than it needed to be.

I placed my order after seeing a promo banner that made it sound like I’d be getting a decent saving. Once I got to checkout though, I realised most of the things I’d picked didn’t actually qualify, which was frustrating because I only found out right at the end.

I’d also been emailed a discount code, but that wouldn’t work on top of the sale prices, so the total only dropped by a few pounds. By the time shipping was added, it barely felt like a deal at all.
To be fair, my items arrived without any issues, so the order itself was fine. I just found the offers a bit misleading and more confusing than helpful, so I’m not in a hurry to shop there again.

I had to cancel my order, i was already thinking, here we go, this is going to be a hassle. But nope, the refund came back quickly, and there wasn’t any back and forth drama. Support replied the same day too, which was a nice surprise. Overall, way smoother than I thought it would be.

I didn’t really think much about the points at first, but they do add up if you’re buying often. It’s not like some huge life-changing discount or anything, but every now and then I’ll check and realize I can save a few bucks, which is always nice. Kind of one of those small rewards that feels better than expected.

I had a little problem with my order at first, nothing huge but still something I needed help with, and I was expecting it to take a bit of back and forth to get sorted. To my surprise, they replied really quickly and just dealt with it without making it complicated or stressful. It was all handled in a really smooth and hassle-free way, which I appreciated a lot. Overall, I’m really happy with the customer service and how everything turned out, and I’d definitely feel comfortable ordering from houseofhobbies.com again.

I was kind of disappointed with how little there was to choose from. I went in looking for a few hobby items and couldn’t find even half of what I needed, which felt a bit ridiculous.

I realized the day after my order arrived that I'd picked the wrong item, so I started a return through houseofhobbies.com. The process was really straightforward, and they got back to me quickly that same week. A few days later, the refund came through without me needing to follow up or chase anyone. Overall, it was much easier than I expected.

I stopped in with my brother and asked a few basic questions, but the staff seemed kind of unsure and didn’t really have clear answers. They were polite enough, but it felt like they didn’t know much about what they were supposed to help with.

I’ll admit I mostly just checked for the things I was waiting on, but everything I looked for was there. No missing items, so I’m happy with it.

For once, the box arrived in perfect condition. No crushed corners, no random dents, no mystery damage like it got punted across a warehouse. It was mint, which apparently feels like a small miracle these days...

I ordered a model kit from houseofhobbies.com, and to be fair, it showed up faster than I thought it would. The only confusing part was that the email seemed to say one thing about the order/shipping, while the actual delivery timing felt like another, so I wasn’t totally sure what to expect.

When it arrived, the packaging was disappointing. The outer box felt way too thin, and there was barely any padding inside. One corner of the kit box was crushed, and there were a few dents along the sides too.
The model itself looks like it’s probably fine, but with collectible kits, the box condition matters a lot. I’d be hesitant to order again unless they improve how they pack these kinds of items.

My order did eventually show up, so I’ll give them that, but the delivery process was frustrating. The tracking barely updated, and the delivery date kept changing like nobody really had it together. Not the worst experience ever, but they made it more annoying than it needed to be, so I’m not exactly in a hurry to order again.

I picked up a few hobby items from here after comparing prices on a bunch of other sites. i kind of assumed there’d be some catch, like they’d make up the difference with shipping or slow things down, but it turned out fine. The prices were better than most places I checked, shipping was normal, and overall I feel like I got a good deal.

The site was simple to get around, and the pages loaded fine, so I’ll give them that. Checkout wasn’t confusing either. But the search feature was frustrating, and that’s on them. It made finding what I needed harder than it should’ve been. Overall it was still an okay experience, but they really need to fix that.

I ordered a couple of hobby items from houseofhobbies.com, and the items themselves arrived just fine with no issues. I was a little disappointed by the shipping cost though. For the size of my order, it felt higher than I expected, and I wish that had been a bit clearer before I got to checkout. It wasn’t a huge deal, but it did leave me slightly frustrated. I’m still happy with what I bought and would probably order again, but the shipping price definitely stood out.

Ordered from houseofhobbies.com recently. Felt normal. In a good way. The site was simple to use, and I didn’t get any weird or sketchy vibes.

My order showed up fine. Updates were clear enough. No drama. I’d shop there again, which is really all I want from an online store...

I was trying to track down a couple of model kits that were sold out pretty much everywhere else, and House of Hobbies actually had both of them listed. The stock info seemed sorta up to date too, which was a nice change.

Checkout was easy, and I got exactly what I ordered with no weird substitutions or surprise backorder email after paying. I’ll probably check here first next time I’m hunting for harder-to-find hobby stuff.

It showed up sooner than I expected, so that was a nice little plus.

Pickup was quick and hassle-free. Everything went smoothly, and I was in and out in no time 👍

I had a question about my order and they got back to me way faster than I expected, almost shockingly quick. The whole thing was really easy, no runaround or hassle at all. Super nice service and I’d definitely use them again.
