Great service kept well informed regarding delivery. Queried why I hadn’t received all my order didn’t realise items came from different companies, spoke to customer services who advised me to wait a few more days however my item arrived later that day plus I received an email from that company apologising for the delay, very impressed, thank you.
I enjoy the camaraderie of the shows but have to say I very much pick and choose what I watch. Nigel and Dave are brilliant presenters. I bought lots earlier in the year but 2 missing orders from Paper Dienamics (1 has now arrived) has put me off ordering. Waiting 2 months when I've paid my money is not really on. The Customer Service team have been helpful but they can only advise not actually deliver the missing items!! Be upfront about the delivery problems that sometimes occur and accept they happen and I, for one, will be happier ordering again.
Received purchase within time provide. Service perfect as expected with items from HobbyMaker. Thank you.
Been with HM since day 1 and never had a problem.
Obviously there are days when what's on is not for me, but they cater for a wide variety of customers.
Pricing is very good and delivery usually on time.
Those viewers who give bad reviews sometimes just enjoy a good grumble, nothing is perfect all the time and hiccups are to be expected.
Looking forward to many more years of Hobbymaker.
always great people showing how to use different items we love carnation crafts and hunkydory always great things to do very addictive
It appears you have to be glued to your lap top all day to be able to take advantage of reductions in prices.Also I agree with others too much chatting among presenters and not enough demonstrating.
I like Dave and Nigel as they as so professional and have been in the craft business for a long time. The appearance of the screen is pleasing on the eye and all goods are sent in great packaging.
There seems to be a lot of the same companies repeated throughout the day there should be more variety considering there is limited broadcasting time. delivery is hit and miss, rarely any tracking. Still waiting for an order allegedly dispatched on 2nd May, told to "give them till Friday " then on Monday told that it was coming direct so had to allow 11 working days and a query could take up to 10 more working days!
Good quality demos/information about products before deciding to purchase. Easy to order.
My orders are always late or go missing and I have to email several times and then wait weeks for them to arrive..
I don't watch Hobbymaker much now as they are just trying to sell the same to things and it is boring watching them make fools of themselves.
When they had the offers on of every time you buy something you will get a free gift, well I bought some things as soon as the show was on the t.v but never received any free gifts, when I emailed them they just replied out of stock..... Not happy.
Easy to order. Kept informed of delivery status. Love the presenters, always full of enthusiasm and good humour. Great offers and knowledge shown by the presenters. Versatility in the range of goods on offer.
I like that you have just one p&p to pay the whole day so you can order more than once in day without worrying about the cost of p&p. I like that there is demos so you know how to use the product. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 out of 5 is because I don’t get tracking on my orders so I have no idea if it’s been sent or not or when it will arrive
I had been with Hobbymaker from day 1, absolutely loved the products, the demonstrations, the original one day p&p, the quick delivery times from 99.9% of the companies and the fact they had alot of smaller companies and family run businesses who I never would have come across otherwise.
Fast forward 3 years, and after the demise of Create and Craft, and it's going downhill fast. It's mostly now the big companies who started out on C&C and jumped ship before it sank. Gone are the days of friendly and quick resolution to missing orders, missing items and quick refunds without having to chase them for weeks on end. It's been taken over by the bigger companies while smaller ones have been pushed out. I prefer to buy direct now, at least if part of an order is missing or an order doesn't show up then it is rectified quickly. I miss the split pay options by shopping direct, but if I can't afford it outright then it stays in my own bank account. What started as a brilliant channel has now definitely lost its sparkle.
This is an very good company that supplies most things crafters need as some of us do not have local stores
Bought from a couple of suppliers as I like to get the best value from the p & p. Both items came quickly and lived up to expectations
Great channel and love the demos. The quality is always A+. Delivery is fast and packaging excellent. I usually order from the app as it is so handy.
What is great about hobbymakers is the variety of different companies under the name of hobbymakers who produce quality of goods which is great for any budget you can get just one item or more all for one delivery charge. The app is so easy to use and if you want to contact them they're so easy to talk to and very efficient I watch the shows on TV and have learnt so much the presenter's and guests are lovely keep doing the same please
Little bit of a challenge to navigate the site but able to order. Had to wait just a bit for order to arrive but did receive exactly what I ordered!
I don't watch it much these days. I'm a paper crafter so if there's anything I want to watch...eg how to or new ideas I might record it so I can cut out a lot of the chatter...so for me more action less chat. But when I have bought items they are good quality and customer service has been very good. I'd need to buy quite a few things to justify the postage though...so putting several paper crafing shows on at a time would be great and then cost effective...
