I love watching H&M I have no problems with the delivery also no problems with the customer service.All the presenter are lovely to.The demo's could be longer.i lost my partner nearly four years ago and this is company for me when I get home from work.It keeps going I like to say thank you for keeping me going when I have different days.
Well I love HM, so much better than the past shows that have been shown on freview TV. They cover my favourite brands Hunkydory, Paper Dynamics and Pinflar plus you have my favourite presenters/demonstrators Dawn Wheeler, Nigel May, Dave Bradford, Hayley West. All you need is Dean Wilson on the team and you have perfection. For me keep on doing what you do.
Great selection of products and good delivery time
Hobbymaker is my favourite show love the live demonstrations would be nice to have more of them . Postage very good one pp all day customer service fantastic deal with any problem quickly and efficiently. Great value and quality products
The quality of the produces are up there, but oh dear when it come to actually receiving them, the timescales need some addressing. I appreciate that it is in the main the manufacturers who dispatch the goods, but they really do need to up their game, as I am sure the long wait times do actually put people off placing orders. I placed an order on 17/5 it is now 1/6 and still no sign of the order, nor any communication advise of any delays.
We have never had any trouble with hobbymaker When we had any trouble with a delivery customer service sorted it straight away The only thing I would say with hobbymaker I hate to say is with Rosie and Cheralene Rosie talks to much and does not give the demonstrator a chance to speak she tries to take over Cheralene talk about things that is not to do with the show When they are on my husband turns the television on mute They are probably two nice ladies but frustrate my husband
I love Hobbymaker 😁 the presenters are so happy, the demonstrations are informative and the deals are amazing.
Delivery is prompt (although not as fast as Amazon etc) but for one postage fee per day, what's not to love 😊
Supporting British company's is always a plus.
The on-air hours don't suit me particularly well and I'm frustrated by watching on catch up after the event because there never seems to be enough stock of the products I want. I think they have a good variety of products and brands for paper crafters (but not many other crafts) but sometimes the prices don't seem as good value as is made out on screen. The one P&P for all day purchasing is a real plus point, however, in my experience, the actual delivery is usually slow and sometimes things have arrived damaged - questionable choice of courier and lack of tracking/delivery information plays a big part in that, but also the packaging materials used are sometimes not really the best (eg. put paper/cardstock in a box not a post bag so the corners don't get messed up). Nigel, Hayley and Dave are absolute pros at presenting and Nigel really does make me laugh, but a couple of the others don't come across as at all professional. Most of the guest demonstrators come across well but there is one particular female guest that I will never watch as her tone and attitude are far too sarcastic and off-putting for someone who clearly knows way less about crafting than her, lol! So all this taken into account I usually check out other companies before placing my order and order from HM when it's not available or cheaper elsewhere.
I love watching Hobbymaker and all the different shows. I watch nearly everyday it keeps me company. The presenters and demonstrators are very informative and hilarious. I just wish the shows could be longer so that the demonstrators have more time and not rushed, also some of us who have limited funds can’t always afford or want bundles of consumables eg adhesives, ink pads etc and perhaps give people more options for split pay on smaller items.
I love the shows on the whole. Great pricing, although I do not want them to close down for having them too low. Well packed, fast delivery, great call centre staff when needed. Website super easy. Some items a little slow with despatch but coming from small businesses I am happy to support and wait, (it's hardly life and death having a week or two wait).
Just a huge fan on the whole although my only criticism is sound levels are set very low when watching via the app at times
The best thing about hobbymaker is one p&p for day. The demonstrations are good however the camera sometimes goes back to presenter at wrong moment.
I tune in if I'm in my craft room.
It is fun to watch but sometimes it's too silly with private messages into ear pieces that we're not privy too & presenter looses the thread. P&p is good if you add extra goodies during the afternoon.
I love what I have bought from HobbyMaker but you send too many emails.
I look forward to my wattsapp message reminding me and inviting me to the HM channel which starts. I have Fibromyalgia so the automatic reminder is a new addition godsend. I sit on my sofa and just watch the informative education on crafting, so many possibilities I didn't know about! The presenters are thoughtful to us newbies with asking the demonstrators questions I would ask! I always find inspiration from each segment. Ordering is so easy. Just a very good company that help other companies to reach people like myself who can't get out much. HM has helped me with my mental health and wellbeing by highlighting that crafts are not just for art teachers but there is an artist in everyone by just taking me to another place where I feel worthy again in this world. The land of have a go! Thank you HM for bringing laughter and joy into my home!!
I watch hobby maker every day,but get fed up of all the chit chat instead of getting on with the demonstrating .I think a lot of the stuff is expensive .The postage is not bad if you are ordering a few things.
Receive my items on time
Love watching the shows
The presenters are great
The demonstrations give you good ideas
Great prices with one post and packaging delivery fee for any number of items in any 24 hours. You can add to your order all day even after you've checked out and if you combine the orders its still only one p and p charge.
There's always some item to add to your Crafty stash and you can build a wish list to add items when you have the urge to splurge. As well as demonstrations of new products there are numerous items on the website sorted by brand name to help find that elusive item you really need. I've been a customer since the channel first aired and have always had excellent service. I have also used their customer service when an item was delayed, and it is excellent and I have never had cause to complain.Please keep bringing the supplies we all love. Thanks. Jackie.
Always good delivery, but there is one thing that all craft companies forget. A lot of people don't have broadband and also do not use Facebook so you miss out on special offers that are for those people only. Older people are not tech savvy and are left out in the cold. This happens time and time again with a lot of companies.
Whilst the products are of good quality, delivery is poor compared to other companies
I'm new to Hobbymaker and when my order was taking a while I had a look at the reviews and could see a lot of customers were having trouble with their deliveries. I contacted customer service and they were fantastic. Everything sorted. I had to contact them again but I had an instant reply. I will definitely be buying again. Thank you Hobbymaker staff
