“Very dissatisfied with the anti-fraud policy of decathlon. This is the last online shopping I make in your store. I am forced to buy online only by a small selection of goods at a local store. This policy significantly slows down the execution of orders, I am forced to buy another birthday present for the child.”

“tl;dr Greatproducts, provided nothing goes wrong and you don't have to use their customer service. Call centre staff will lie through their teeth and are less than helpful. From the very start, before having bought the product, had issues placing the order and call centre staff were less than helpful. Paypal accepted payment, decathlon declined it, leaving £420 in limbo. Customer service clueless, offered call backs that never transpired, had staff hang up and refuse to allow me to speak to a manager. When product was recieved, a manufacturing fault meant i had to deal with call centre again. Decathlon soon accepted responsibility and offered to send out replacement part after around a week of persuasion. When i came to look at the replacement order i found that decathlon were trying to fob me off with a lower priced home brand product rather than replacing like-for-like. Had to phone CS again, this time i encountered a more helpful staff member who refunded me the difference in price between the two parts; claiming that decathlon didn't stock the spare that came as standard on my bike. Now my bike has been off the road for almost a month, spare parts have been recieved, but when i come to swap the parts i realise that the two are incompatible with eachother. Phone CS, as soon as i mention it is a faulty product 'Dean' claims that i would have to speak to the 'Man' who first took my call (it was a woman) because he was only filling in and couldn't possibly help. Apparently, yet again, no manager was present - of course, it's a lie. At every step in the process, the answer has been the same, lying CS agents who are less than helpful.”

“I wouldn't give even 1* for Decathlon. The worst company ever, customer service is just a joke. When you call them and ask for their name they don't want to tell you, when you ask to speak to the manager they reply "I'm a manager". Completely unacceptable behaviors there, they all should be sacked immediately. I ordered one item and they couldn't deliver and they didn't know where is my parcel. They didn't even want to give me a refund as they said 8.50£ is nothing. They always told me that my parcel will be delivered today and they told me to call tomorrow if not. Then they promised a free shipping to my house again and a gift voucher but they never do that so no delivery, no item, no return. NOTHING. DECATHLON YOU ARE THE WORST COMPANY EVER!”

“I ordered on line for the first time only to be told that they could only process my order if I sent a copy of my passport and utility bill. I didn't want to do this so asked to cancel my order. I have now been informed that it will take up to 7 working days to refund me. This is the first and last time I order anything from decathalon. I am very disappointed.”

“Ive always been afraid of water and getting my face wet so have never been snorkalling. I was given some excellent advice from Michael Carter Travel who we booked our holiday through and Cheryl who works there had recently ordered herself a snorkalling face mask from you and told me how good it was. On her recommendation I ordered one from you and it has totally transformed my life. It means that I can go snorkalling and not be afraid of water seeping into my mask and no water went down the downtube either. Its a fantastic product and I am very much looking forward to my next snorkalling adventure. I bought myself a boyancy life jacket and therefore could float for ages just enjoying the beautiful fishes in the coral reefs in the Maldives. Absolute Heaven.”

“Ordered football boots (Adidas Copa Mundial) online for instore collection, received email to advise product now in store so drove to store, collected product and returned home only to find that size is not what I ordered - I ordered UK 8.5 (clear on invoice) and received UK 9. Tried calling the store to complain only to get a recorded message that it's closed - it's not closed at 4:30pm on a Sunday! Now i'll have to do another roundtrip to the store to return them. Don't think i'll be ordering from Decathlon again.”

“Just awful! I used a voucher to buy just one item. It had to be refunded and the voucher they gave me back was for my use only. I can't give it away or sell it on and I have contacted them for a transferable voucher and they have refused. There is nothing I want and I can't even give it to a friend. £200 voucher down the drain. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1563002553733344&id=249930508373895&__tn__=%2As”

“Decathlon emailed our school to say they had delivered our table tennis table when in fact it was still with the delivery company. Then when we asked them how this has happened, they said that I had changed the delivery date with them which was untrue and made it seem like it was our mistake. We were expecting this a while ago however the first time they tried to deliver this, they damaged it on the way. So we are still waiting for our table.”

“I had an sizing issue with a bike I bought in store (no advice given). Because the model had been superseded by the time my subsequent research was complete. I was unable to return it and get like for like in the right size. Expected to surrender the the advantage I gained from a decathlon sale to get the new model proved too expensive for me to consider. The store management would not allow an exchange where I offered to pay the difference between the retail price of each bike (old model/new model). I asked to go higher than the store manager and they would not give me details of who I could speak to. So I used e-mail contact with customer support. I got a reply asking for details which I then supplied. Thats where the trail ends, I'm not happy with customer service from start to finish. The product was fine but regrettably returned instead of exchanged.”
