“Bought a nice coastal paint by numbers set only a fiver. Don't bother. Colours of sky all wrong; more of a turquoise than blue indicated. Difficult to read the numbers as they are quite faint - you would need a magnifying glass for half of it. Also the paint brush poor quality. They should pay me to complete it!”

“Bought the sew your own sloth kit. It stated for age 8+. What an absolute nightmare. This was supposed to be an enjoyable craft for my daughter to do herself. No 8 year old is capable of doing this and instead Mummy and Granny did the whole thing. Instructions are dreadful and it shows backstitches and French knots. Trying to hold stuffing in place while sewing claws on at the same time is a challenge for most adults. You need a focus group of 8 year olds to do it and see how quickly they give up. Dreadful.”

“Same old, offers next day delivery and it's not next day. Don't offer next day delivery if it isn't a service you can provide, especially if it's with Hermes. Unfortunately no idea where my parcel is (as Hobbycraft don't have it and neither do Hermes) and I don't have my £200 cricut. I'll await my PayPal chargeback.”

“First time ordering from Hobbycraft, placed an order for £75+£6.50 delivery. Tracking number was sent the following day but that was 4 days ago. Used web site contact form and was told delivery would be today but today myhermes tracking says they're 'expecting it'. No idea from here. I may use in store but won't be using them ever again for delivery.”

“Never recomend this company to anyone!!!! They are thief!!!! Dont waist your time and money. The worst experience ever in my life!!! Per 1 month time they didnt'deliver any of 3 expensive parcels. I lost my customers because of so poor company. You can pay for next day delivery or order small or large parcel you never will get any anyway. Money and time robbers!! Criminals!”

“Ordered a cricut machine, when it arrived it is simply not fit for purpose, the draw feature leaves blotchy dots within the lines. Hobbycraft are refusing to accept a return as the product has been used and are now just ignoring my messages. How would I have known the machine would produce these blotchy dots without using the machine? Absolutely baffled and £250 down the drain during an already tough time. Avoid this company.”

“Appalling service. I ordered 6 items. Only received one item. Waited a week in delivery! Tried calling no one answered (currently on the phone). Used the “Contact form” on their website no one got back to me. Will be raising an issue with PayPal instead to get my money back.”

“Ordered a high priced item on tuesday (not that it should make any difference) for next day click and collect. Wednesday and the tracking said they hadn't even been given the parcel by the main depot. I rang twice that day and was told it would definitely be in store by the end of day even though I could quite clearly see via the tracking that it wouldnt be. Thursday strived and still no item or any updated tracking. Rang hobbycraft and they said they would send me another to my home address on a next day service. Friday arrives and no updated tracking and no parcel. I rang customer service again and they say they havent even sent the parcel from the main depot and would I like it delivered the next day? I asked for a refund and they said they wouldnt very able to give me my money back for eight days! They have already cost me money and I have now missed the deadline for my work as I don't have the tool I need. I do feel like covid is being used as an excuse, how can it be unprecedented a year later? And also do not make promises you cant keep. If you cant fulfill next day orders than simply dont offer them. I'm now finding it almost impossible to get my money back. Appalling service that has cause me alot of stress.”

“I put in a big order for threads etc 4 were not available though they were when I ordered and 10 threads arrived so filthy I am unable to use them. Also I was only given a refund on 8 instead of 10. Dreadful for such a large company.”

“Hobbycraft have taken £4.50 from my account for delivery when delivery should have been free for the order which was over £20!! Still no response from them since November after 5 emails. It’s theft!!!!”

“You know you will generally pay over the odds at Hobbycraft, and stock selection has gone downhill in 2020. That aside, packaging for delivery is not suitable to protect your purchases, meaning you get dented paperand card products. Ordered online only because of covid restrictions making trips to a shop harder for me. I would not under normal circumstances use this as it is a waste of money to lose a percentage of your purchase due to damage. Have contacted them to show problem.”

“Bought an embroidery machine which was faulty. They promised replacement but did not come to collect old one or bring new one twice till now and I been waiting for 3 weeks now. Tried ringing but I took me more than an hour holding the line until I gave up. Do not know what to next. They are very horrible to deal with. Do not buy any thing big from them.”

“As a first time buyer I was very disappointed. I thought I'll treat myself to some nice chunky yarn with the 3 for 2 offer. Unfortunately, I did not get value for money as the quality was just awful. All the 3 balls of yarn had knots, a lot of splitting and even some of the fiber was cut and it was hanging loose from the rest of the yarn, not to mention how much it was getting twisted while working with it. Customer service wasn't of much help either, even with photos as evidence . They just said the knots are normal but did not address the rest of the problems. I worked with better yarn for half the price. After all that I will not be returning to Hobbycraft or trying their other products.”
