“Appalling customer service, no response to many attempts to contact them, no response to email / twitter or numerous phone calls. Have spent over £2000 on cycle equipment over the past twelve months, can not say how much I will spend over the next twelve months but one thing for sure none of it will be with this company.”

“Appalling service. Part of my order was missing to the value of £65. Nobody answers the phone or responds to messages left on the answer phone. When I emailed I just got an automated response. I have been trying to speak to someone for 5 days and have still not been able to sort the problem. A very poor show Decathlon”

“Placed an order a week ago and they still have not processed it. I have emailed them repeatedly, called numerously, all attempts have been unsuccessful. No-one answers the phones. All feels a bit "dodgey". My recommendation - SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE”

“Like most people here placed an online order that has not progressed beyond the "in progress" stage despite the delivery date (to Asda) having passed. Unable to contact via email, telephone or IM. Very poor for a large company in this day and age. It goes without saying that I will not bother shopping with them next time which is a shame as I have never had issues instore.”

“Item not delivered for click & collect from store. Decathlon has the worst online customer service (just read the recent reviews). Items intended as Christmas presents but will now have to find goods else ware and return these ordered items when or if they ever materialise. A company that really shouldn't be running an online service as it can't provide the goods but will happily take your money. A very unhappy customer.”

“Order placed on the 13th December with Delivery for the 20/12/16 - still no products, no answer on the phone, no replies to emails, no replies on social media as to when my delivery will actually leave their warehouse. Total joke and no way to run a business. Will not be using Decathlon again. Other reviews seem to say a similar story as well.”

“Ordered 2 bikes for our sone on the 7/12/16. Told they would arrive on the 13/12/16 but nothing arrived. Managed to speak to someone on the phone with conflicting info. First it was a problem with the ferries at Calais and then it was a problem with the warehouse!!! Which is it?????? I think the customer service staff have gone on holiday, as try as I might I cannot speak to a human. Very much doubt that my boys will get their bikes for Christmas now. Very poor show. Answer your bloody phones!!!!!!!!!”

“I placed an order 15th Dec as i thought in time for a Christmas delivery however the estimated delivery date is showing 28th. I have emailed and phoned to confirm if delivery will be by Christmas but noone is getting back to me. I need to know if i have to cancel order and go elsewhere as time is running out! How is everyone else finding customer service as it has now been over 5 days since my order was placed. Everything is in stock and showed as processed within 2 days????”

“Order two bikes one on the 7th and one on the 12th still not received on the 19th, even at this time of the year that is far too long, i could understand 2 even 3 days late but 12 days from the order date is shocking service!”

Dear Customer. We are sorry for the delayed delivery of your order. Some of our items come from Europe, as we do not have stock in the UK, so delivery can take longer. However, our supply team is working on improving the speed of delivery, so that you could get the items ordered as soon as possible in the future. Have a nice day!

“My 1st ever order was made 5th Dec 2016 and arrived at the store for collection 4 days later than scheduled. My 2nd order was placed on 15th Dec 2016 should have arrived in store today and it's not even been shipped yet. I won't be making any further orders as you can't rely on delivery dates and the website tracking information lacks detail and is meaningless and pointless. Disappointed.”

“Placed an order on 12/12 and despite stating on the original order that the order was immediately in progress they gave themselves until 19/12 to deliver to a store. They contacted me on the evening of 18/12 to inform me that they would not be delivering on the given date as they never had stock and so the order had never progressed. Despite not progressing the order they still took payment on 15/12 yet I await to see if they'll refund me immediately as I see they state that once an order is placed it is in progress so cannot be refunded but in my case the order was never in progress as they never had stock to progress. I await to see if they are any less deceitful about providing an immediate refund as they have been deceitful in their claims of progressing and delivering my order.”

Dear Brendan thank you for your feedback. We can confirm that the payment was authorised, but not actually taken, as we only take the money after the items are ready. Your refund was processed straight away, as requested. However, it may take 3-5 business days to process the transaction between PayPal and our bank. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience.

“What a total shambles this outfit is. Very poor, almost non existent communications and when they did, answers were 'mechanical' and invariably did not actually address the questions posed. Never use them.”

We can confirm your order is now refunded, so money should already be with you. If you have further questions, contact our customer loyalty team on 0207 064 3000. Have a nice day

“Abysmal customer service. They have taken my money but they still haven't delivered my bike. They won't even answer the phone. I can't cancel my order either according to the website. Merry Christmas Decathlon. Never again.”

Dear Mark. Thank you for the time you have spent giving us your feedback. We are really sorry about the unavailability of our services team, we are experiencing a huge call demand because of the order delays. We have had strike with trucks coming from Europe in France unexpected before Christmas and it has led to delays of orders of between 3-4 days. We were doing everything we can to get back on track, including shipping operatives in from other warehouses and working through the night. In regards to your recent online purchase, we would like to suggest you to contact our Customer Loyalty team at customer.enquiries@decathlon.com who will be able to find the most suitable solution for you. Once again, we are deeply apologetic for what has happened and we thank you for your patience regarding this. Have a nice day.

Dear Chris. We would like to sincerely thank you for the time you have taken for giving us your honest feedback. Regarding your enquiry, we would like to inform you that due to unexpected issues we encountered because of a strike in France we could not reach our estimated delivery days. We are really sorry about the unavailability of our services team and lack of communication as we were experiencing a huge call demand because of the order delays. We hope we will hear from you in the future with a better experience at Decathlon. Thank you for your understanding. Have a nice day!

“Placed an order for 2 bikes on the 12th, delivery date was 16th kept checking status of order and was at loading for days, rang the company to be told my order is still at the warehouse due to a problem in France? I've know been told it should be delivered Tuesday but I'm not holding my breath. Shocking delivery.”
