Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Consumers express significant dissatisfaction with orders and the website experience. Many people report that the website is misleading, leading them to believe the company is UK-based when it is actually shipping from China. This has resulted in longer delivery times than expected, with some orders arriving late or not at all. There are mixed opinions regarding the product and quality, with a lack of consensus among reviewers. Some customers have praised the kits, highlighting the good quality of the stamped fabric and the comprehensive selection available. However, others have reported issues such as missing items, damaged packaging, and poor-quality products. Some consumers express frustration with customer service, particularly regarding returns and refunds.

Order placed, money taken, no communication, no product!

I bought a cross stitch kit from Hobbyart on the 7th Feb. '26. I've heard nothing from them regarding delivery but have two confirmation emails that they received my order - any my money! I will consider changing my rating for them once I get a reply to the 2 emails I've sent them already. I wish I'd checked their Trustpilot ratings before I placed my order (and paid)!

Love it

I ordered a custom cross stitch kit and I have been really enjoying working on it during these long winter evenings. I got a 11ct, 40x50 so the details in the photo can be seen well on the tapestry. Hobbyart delivered the kit quickly without any issues. The cotton thread colours are delightful, and better quality than some competitors. The stamped fabric is good quality and helpful. Now I am looking to start another project and for sure will be ordering from Hobbyart.

Wish I’d read the other reviews

Wish I’d read the other reviews! Poor quality, shipped from China despite looking like a UK company. Item not as pictured. And forget the no quibble refund policy.

I am now on my fifth offer of a partial (4/5 of the purchase price) refund. I accepted this one to cut my losses. The company then came back and said I had to take down the above review before they would pay the refund. As it is still a reflection of my experience, I have refused to do so.

I have heard nothing since so they have all my money and are refusing to allow me to return the item. A scam.

Poor quality and overpriced drop shipping.

Like many others, I was duped by a nice looking website.

Product took long time to arrive, was in another random box that was crushed and damaged. Wrapper had product code that when searched takes you straight to AliExpress website with EXACT same product for £4 rather than £30 (I paid £20 with some “discount”).

Website promised a no quibble returns process which is not the case. They were desperate not to return the item (presumably because it is just drop shipped). After multiple email exchanges with gradually increasing amounts of discount, I settled for an £18 refund and cut my losses. I have received the refund.

Essentially, the website and my experience is that if misrepresentation. I wish I had searched reviews, but was in a rush at the time.

Cheap Chinese rubbish. Scam

On site it shows needle work book with stitches done to show how each stitch is done. Was not aware this was a Chinese company, as I would not have ordered it. Took ages to come and when finally arrived it was just cheap blurry printed stitches and not a sampler as advertised. Totally unusable cheap rubbish. Threw in bin. Do not order from this site which pretends to be a UK company

Full refund, no quibble - what a joke!

Like many others commenting on HobbyArt, we too are being continually fobbed off. Their website says we can get a full refund with no quibble yet they offered £3 initially, then £6, £9 and now £12 for an item that cost £20. How is this no quibble? They are saying they have had to pay for shipping fees which isn't our problem!
HobbyArt - sort it out and pay the full refund please!

Cheap chinese rubbish. Nothing like the pictures on the site. All sewing implements are dangerous, they bend, snap and break in your hands. Leave this site alone. Also missing items from order. All a total load of rubbish that went in the bin.

Very pleased …

I also didn't think I would have to wait for my purchase to arrive from China. Admittedly it was a long wait but I am very satisfied with it. The extras in the kit were a surprise as other companies haven't included scissors etc. Also I have emailed with queries and had a reply within a few days. So therefore I am very pleased.

Avoid the company, terrible customer service

Sadly I wish I had checked reviews before purchasing.
Just like others I was mislead into believing it was a UK site when purchasing a Christmas gift. Item came late from China and poorly packaged so the box has been damaged. Have requested a refund and been caught up in a painful exchange of multiple emails where I am not being listened to; the websites ‘easy’ refund policy is clearly a lie as they appear to want to do anything but refund me as continuously requested.

I am re adding my review as hobby art…

I am re adding my review as hobby art offered me a partial 50 percent refund if I removed my review. Well I have not received that refund. I ordered 3 craft items in good time for Christmas and they did not arrive in time, only being sent after Christmas once I involved PayPal. I had to purchase alternative presents, asked for a refund but the items were sent to arrive in the new year and when they finally did arrive they were cheap Chinese items that came in creased boxes. I do not recommend.

I have now requested a refund for an item FOUR times. Each time they come back with a counter offer of a few pounds which I do not want. GIVE ME A REFUND!!

The item is such AI tripe. Poor quality and not fit for purpose.

EDIT TO RESPOND TO THER RESPONSE:

After more than TEN counter-offers of a partial refund or alternative product, they finally told me that the could not give me a full refund due to their “high shipping and production costs”. So no, it’s all lies - they will not ever give a full refund despite saying in their policy that they will and in their responses on here.

I finally had to accept a refund of £25 out of £30.

Would never buy from this company again.

Dear Rachel Cox,

We’re very sorry for the frustration this has caused you, and we understand how upsetting this situation is.

To be absolutely clear: you are not required to accept any partial refund or counter-offer. If you have requested a full refund, that request should be respected. We sincerely apologize that repeated compensation offers were made despite your clear refusal — this is not how your case should have been handled.

We’re also sorry that the product did not meet your expectations in terms of quality or suitability. Your feedback is taken seriously.

Please contact us one last time at [email protected], include your order number. Your case will be escalated and handled as a priority so it can be resolved properly.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, we apologize for the inconvenience and the poor experience you’ve had.

Dear Moira,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry for the frustration this situation has caused you, and we understand why you feel disappointed.

We apologize if there has been a delay or lack of clear communication regarding your return request. Our 30-day refund guarantee does apply, and your case should have been handled more promptly. That is not the level of service we aim to provide.

Regarding shipping, HobbyArt.uk operates internationally, and some items are dispatched from our overseas warehouse. We understand that this was not what you expected, and we’re sorry if this caused confusion or inconvenience.

Please rest assured that we do not intend to withhold refunds. To resolve this as quickly as possible, we kindly ask you to contact us again at [email protected], clearly referencing your order number and mentioning this Trustpilot review. Our support team will prioritize your case and provide a clear solution, including the next steps for your refund.

We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right.

Don't use this site - read the reviews first

I wish I'd read the reviews before ordering from Hobbyart. Like many others I took this at face value as a UK based business when in fact it seems they're just drop shipping from China.
I ordered in good time for Christmas delivery, only to get a tracking email just before which told me the product was in China. Finally arrived about ten days later. I feel let down and ripped off by these people.

Dear MattH,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your disappointment and understand how frustrating it must have been to expect a UK-based delivery—especially when ordering with Christmas in mind.

We sincerely apologize if our website gave the impression that all products ship from the UK. HobbyArt.uk operates as an international brand, and some of our embroidery products are produced and dispatched from overseas. We agree that this should be communicated more clearly, and your feedback is very valuable in helping us improve our transparency.

We’re also sorry that the delivery time did not meet your expectations and caused frustration during the holiday period. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

If you are not satisfied with the product you received, or would like us to review your order, please email [email protected] with your order number. We will be happy to review your case and do our best to provide further assistance.

Thank you again for your honest feedback. We value it greatly and will use it to improve our products and communication.

Very disappointing quality

I bought the fabric embroidery book from the Hobby Art site. I was very disappointed with it.
It comes with no instructions. I also bought the needle and thread kit. The thread in the kit is not embroidery quality thread. It is very thin single thread cotton.
I would advise people to buy a basic learn to embroider book from your local bookshop or craftstore along with an easy embroidery project and threads from your local craftstore. I wish I had!
Do not waste your money sending for these items from this site.

Dear Jean,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that the embroidery book and needle & thread kit did not meet your expectations, and we understand how disappointing this must have been.

Our embroidery products are designed as beginner-friendly craft kits, and the book focuses mainly on patterns and inspiration rather than step-by-step lessons, which we understand may not be clearly communicated. We also regret that the thread quality did not meet what you expected for embroidery work. Your feedback is valuable and has been shared with our product team so we can review both the product description and the materials included.

We would really appreciate the opportunity to look into your order and see how we can make this right for you. Please contact our customer support team at [email protected] with your order number, and we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you again for your honest feedback.
