“Two folding bikes collected from Nottingham. One had under inflated tyres, and a badly scratched seat post, no brake cable end protectors and one cable had a frayed and damaged end. Both bikes had misaligned steering, incorrect brake cable routing, not fitted correctly into the guides welded to the frame, one of which caught on the folding mechanism, and would at some stage get trapped and rendered useless and dangerous. Both had an incorrectly fitted brake pad touching the rear tyre. Very poor preparation. Whilst the assistant did a reasonable job, his product knowledge was poor, enthusiastically telling us the frames were aluminium, when clearly they are steel. (as their own website states) Aluminium would be far to weak to work on such a design and this misinformation could put anyone with the slightest knowledge off purchasing the bike. The website showed three bikes in stock, only two were actually at the store, so we had to take the demonstrator, which presumably explains the scratches, though I fail to understand what sort of abuse would cause such damage, also it showed two carry bags in stock which we also wanted, these too were not in stock, and in fact not a product even recognised by your staff. I was told several days after sending my review to Decathlon, that it had been published on their website. It has not been. A further e-mail to Decathlon requesting a response to my comments has been ignored, as has my suggestion to them that they would not post my review because it is too damning. A simple apology and offer to rectify the problem would have been fine, things do go wrong occasionally, but completely ignoring the whole matter is a very poor reflection on the company. Clearly they are too big to be bothered. Wonder what their reaction would have been had I not spotted the faults and an accident or injury had resulted?”

“Very poor online experience, I received an email to say order created, with a tracking number - no way of tracking via this number as it doesn't conform to any of the formats listed. Two days after it was due in the store I still had not received an email to say it was ready for collection - It clearly says on the original order Please wait until you have received an email before attempting to collect. I ring head office can't get an answer, so I ring the store directly and its sat there waiting to be collected!! Very poor communications”

“Nice stuff but painfully slow delivery....items in stock so why not just send out when ordered rather than waiting nearly a week!?”

“On the phone you said I could choose express delivery that would be guaranteed within two days. However your website will only allow a guaranteed delivery of 6 days. Thanks for wasting my time.”

“Received online order. Obvious red pen mark on white cricket trousers. Items were creased up in a ball in the bag. No care when picking. No care when packing. No paperwork in bag to make the return easy. And their returns online is crazy complicated. Might be an idea to learn from how Nike does online.”

“I am writing to let you know about the level of service from your Giltbrook store. My wife phoned on Saturday 29th April to enquire about stock of Item 893378, yes it was available, yes in Medium, yes in Pink. We asked if we should collect that day but were assured that it would be put in a bag with our name on and that it was OK for me to collect yesterday Tuesday 2nd May. I left Huddersfield early to travel back to Nottingham so I could collect the jacket in time I then spent over 1 fruitless hour at the store with 2 assistants trying to vain to find the jacket, being offered alternatives, sending photographs back and forth to my wife trying to work out which jacket she'd reserved, speaking eventually to the manager - the jacket hadn't been reserved and had been presumably sold in the meantime. I have been assured that a replacement jacket will be posted to me free of charge so am now in the position where I have actually paid for a jacket that I actually still haven't recd but may get in 'around 7 days time' It's surely not that difficult and hardly rocket science to place an item in a bag labelled for someone and if your staff cannot manage this they should not offer this service. If anybody does ask me the level of service from Decathlon I'd have to say something along the lines of inept/clueless. Garry Perkins”

“Was waiting for new 2016 model of Town 9 EF scooter, it appeared on their website, but with references to 2016 & 2015 models in the description so emailed for confirmation of which model it was. Was assured it was 2016 model so purchased it. They then sent me the 2015 model. Called for more info as to why, no one actually knows what the 2016 model is, including the UK Oxelo 'expert'. Don't get me wrong, the 2015 town 9 is a great bit of kit, but I was missold on the basis of a pre-sale email from their customer services that clearly stated I would get the 2016 model. They offered me a measly £10 refund!”

“Terrible experience - ordered a bike on 22nd April and was promised it would arrive on 27th April as I needed it for the 29th. Didn't receive it on 27th. Didn't receive on 28th. Was told had to wait at least until 2nd May - simply NOT ACCEPTABLE. Never ordering from Decathlon again. If I could give 0 stars, I would have.”
