Bonjour ! I’m disgusted that having purchased a tent, it failed to arrive and all the kit arrived in one box supposedly 30kgs. Even the delivery man said it was wrong. You demanded a letter of honour,... See more

No change for a non-fitting (brand new) shoe which was bought online, incredible! Riddiculous brand, no contact for any country they operate in! Same crappy site on each 52 country with no contact inf... See more

Wow, Decathlon suck! I ordered a bike because it promised two-day delivery. Needless to say, it did not show up in this timeframe. I am still waiting for it. I am told it will be some time next week,... See more

Best Lightweight Tent EVER

One word.... WOW... the FORCLAZ MT900 Tunnel tent... I must say, I think this is the perfect 1 man and his pack tent (advertised as 2 man) absolutly delighted with it. Following extensive research... This is without doubt the very best tent for the price range, and would even challengne top end models. At only 1.75kg, It's as close to perfect as you can get..... Very impressed and would highly recommend.

Blackmail to get your email address

In Bangkok, in Silom, they demand that you give them your email address or they refuse to sell to you. Of course, you only find out about their blackmail when it's time to pay. I wasted almost an hour for nothing.

NO CUSTOMER SERVICE = NO RETURNS! Stay far away from Decathlon!

On Jun 29 I purchased a folding bicycle from decathlon.com and it arrived damaged and unsafe to ride (See attached photographs). I called and emailed FedEx and was informed I have to contact the retailer (Decathlon) to start a claim on the damaged delivery. Since then, I have called 4 times and sent 6 emails to Decathlon's customer service. To date; I have not received a returned call and only received the same email auto-response. In order to get a claim started with FedEx I need Decathlon to respond to me, but they are ignoring me. So, lesson learned, STAY FAR AWAY FROM them unless you do not plan to have to return the item. You are better off going to Amazon.

Dreadful over testosteroned bike fixer

Everything was fine, always a nice welcome. I found the area where I needed to get my punctured bike tyre repaired. I was helped by a chap who was trying to explain how they repair it and then big (I love myself) Anthony arrives in his big black t-shirt and tells me twice, doesn't ask but tells me to get out of the workshop, I said that his colleague was explaining stuff to me which he ignored & told me to leave the area. I got the bill to pay, paid it and came back to retrieve the tyre, Anthony escaped the area when he saw I returned to deal with someone else, maybe he's gay maybe hates women maybe hates English people, either way he's in the wrong job and I shall not go back to Decathlon Redon whilst he is still employed by you, a nice young chap helped me to retrieve my tire, unfortunately I didn't get his name

Very bad website

Good shop , but very very bad website for Android devices. Jumps up all the time, slow performance, inefficient... Losing lots of business because of it. Not professional.

By far the best value in the market

I have been a customer of Decathlon for multiple decades in France, Germany and Canada. Their products nearly match the top of the range for less than 50% of the price of big brands.

I use their products for climbing, running, trail running, camping, cycling, and skiing.

They should be the go-to for any sport or outdoor lovers!

Staff kindness and language skills

I purchased a headlamp. At home...the product appeared NOT to be in the box. i had to go back again to the shop in Arlet. First staff person: does not speak English. Security guy does and explains her my problem. She calls an assistent. She asks me again: what is your problem. I answer: I just explained to your collegues. She answers: but I was not there. I explain again....She then gets the shop supervisor. They look at the shelf...speak to each other...not to me. They change the product....and just hand it over to me. NOT ONE WORD OF APOLOGY or explanation how this could happen.
Your staff should be made aware that KINDNESS and RESPECT are great values in life. Also, the language skills of your staff should be drastically improved. FRANCE happens to be part of the EU-!

They dont honor their guarantees and customer service is a joke

While I did really like the surfboard I purchased, it did not hold up. I kept it out of direct sunlight and did not leave it in the car during hot weather, yet the soft-top bubbled up and the board ended up getting waterlogged after about 6-8 months of use. The product stated that it had a 2 year guarantee, but when I contacted them they said it would not cover either issue. Also it is a painstaking experience just to get a response from the customer service. They reply many days later if at all and they do not adequately communicate or address the issue you try to resolve.

Money thrown away

Surprisingly shop has no returns policy on all items e.g. shoes, that I have receiced today, and which I haven't neither worn nor unwrapped. Stay away or waste your money on this sketchy seller

They are the worst I have ever come across

They are the worst. When services lie, whole credibility of the company is lost, same is the case with decathlon customer care. They don't care about customers at all. will stall them till they get tired and give up.

Poor Product Quality; Even Poorer Customer Service

Bought short (training) swim fins from Decathlon, but one of them developed a tear after 14 months of use. The supposedly have a 2 year warranty but Decathlon rejected my claim asserting that the damage was due to "misuse or accident". I used them exactly what they were intended for, it is impossible that they were misused or damaged due to accident. Decathlon likely encourages staff to reject warranty claims at every opportunity and/or their staff have absolutely no idea about the product(s) they are adjudicating claims for

Worst experience ever I got when trying…

Worst experience ever I got when trying to send back a stand for my bike that I coudn't use after less then a week. The customer service said that it is not a good reason to send it back and that I should sell it on my own . This is shameful.

Unethical Practices

Decathlon sent me an email seeking reviews on products I had recently bought. I gave 2 positive and 3 negative reviews. They sent me an email saying that the negative review wont be published, and the positive one will be, not in so many words, but the choice of what to publish and what not, spoke louder than any words could. Selectively publishing reviews is a highly unethical practice, one that builds a false brand image. Shocking how far the company has fallen!

Very poor! First it took ages for the payment to go through on their website. Second, the delivery planed within a few days is now indefinitely delayed....no update, no explanation
