Extremely disappointing experience with Decathlon Mahadevpura Whitefield shop. We bought cycle on Sunday 31st March, next day Monday it was home delivered and Tuesday it's front brake started giving problem. There was no accident or fall. Decathlon suggested to call a nearby local repair person as they won't come. As per them it's just a screw issue. But today when I called the repair person he immediately informed that the parts used in the brake are of poor quality and even spring got broken. Wire has to be replaced a well. He showed all the defects. Brand new cycle with poor quality spare parts and the poorest customer service. Shame on you Decathlon. I would recommend to buy branded cycle but from local nearby cycle vendor so that you experience a good customer service .

What a terrible company to have to deal with. I will never shop here again. I need to bring them to the small claims court to resolve my current issue

Had a very bad experience with sales person Gopinath today. He is very poor in customer handling. Decathlon should be very much focussed when hiring sales person. Because of 1 or 2 name is getting spoiled. We like the decathlon products because of 1 or 2 like gopinath we are having a very bad experience. They are making fun of customers walking in and enjoying in the floor. They are ignoring if we are asking valid queries. Hope they should answer our queries and moreover very different answers. It varies from person to person as well. It looks funny and they require proper training on how to speak to customers.

There is no customer service whatsoever. They just don't answer. Taking the payment of course if very quick and efficient, the problems start when it comes to delivering the product. It just doesn't arrive, then you can't contact the support team. This, in my opinion makes them a service that is capable of taking money only. The rest of the operation is just pathetic.

1 star is generous. Absolutely atrocious service. Don't buy anything from this store. E-Bike broke down within 6 months after paying £89 for a full service 3 months after purchase. Parts take weeks to arrive. They only employ 1 mechanic and when he is off, tough. No regard for people's circumstances. No replacement available. Called the store everyday, just to get told to call back the next day. Gave the bike in on 08.07.2023, today on 18.07.2023 the part still hasn't arrived. Also, the mechanic is off for the next 2 days, so it may be fixed after 2 weeks. Who knows. I cannot understand how it is taking 2 weeks to fix 1 e-bike. It is not a rocket ship. I would never purchase anything from this store and I would advise others to save their money and go somewhere else for better quality and most importantly service!

This company are useless. I’ll never use them again FOR ANYTHING. Ordered a product to be delivered. Paid a hefty fee for the 24 hour rapid delivery. Five days later….nothing. Then an email to say they couldn’t find my address and the item was available for collection at some depot 50 miles away!! Staff on phone absolutely unhelpful and rude. Promised a refund-no sign of that yet either!! AVOID THIS SHOWER OF MESSERS AT ALL COSTS. They take your money and from there on in, couldn’t give a damn. As I write this I’m £225 out of pocket!

On the 7 June I placed an online order for a 4-person tent, 2 double mattresses, a pump for the double mattress, 4 trekking mats and two children’s sleeping bags. This cost over £350. I was told my order would be ready to collect instore in Edinburgh on 15 June. I called the Edinburgh store on 15 June and was told by a man that it hadn’t arrived but I should call back the following day after 1pm as more deliveries were expected. I was also told at that time that each of those items were available on the shelves in the shop already and if the delivery hadn’t arrived by 1pm the following day they would be able to source the items from the shop for me. Rather than calling the next day (16 June) I waited and called the store on 17 June. This time a woman at the store answered and told me the delivery had been postponed until 20 June. When I explained the previous call with her colleague, she told me there was nothing she could do and I should make a complaint to Decathlons head office in London. After I hung up someone cancelled that order. To be clear, I gave no one permission to do that at any point given I have a camping trip planned with my children. I was appalled at her lack of sympathy, her lack of flexibility and her refusal to try to resolve this using the solution her colleague had told me would be possible.

Worst the products and totally bad customer service I purchased this backpack in April 2022 in Bergerc France, after two trip, all the plastic hardware have broken, I contacted Decathlon, they basically told me if I purchased in store, I have to go there to exchange, but I live in USA, I don't speak French, Decathlon customer service won't even care....Don't purchase anything from them, you will regret their attitude afterwards.

Received item in a terrible state. Box ripped and taped back together, holes in the box also. Items inside were dirty and clearly already used. Some items were missing. Tried to contact them, waited for 90 minutes before giving up.

Bought a badminton racquet in Decathlon Auburn on Sunday and its strings broke at the first play on Monday within 5 mins. The staff said it is normal and no warranty, then let me go to the professional shop to fix it. I contacted Decathlon customer service, he let me restring it in Tempe Decathlon. I said it is a product issue, even though I restring it, it will break again quickly. Then he doesn't reply me any more.

I bought my Electric bike from Decathlon and part of the deal included a free check after a few months. I booked it in and the service engineer Ian did a excellent job and repaired a puncture which only cost £10.98 which I thought was reasonable. However, I went to the check out to pay and was informed that they only take card payments. I explained that I do not have cards and asked how I could pay as I only had cash. The cashier said it was the Store policy not to take cash and advised me to approach a customer and ask them to pay my bill for me and for me to give the customer my cash, I refused to approach a complete stranger and have the embarrassment of asking them to pay my bill so she said she would get the Manager. The Manager said exactly the same as the cashier and again I refused to approach a stranger and to put someone on the spot and cause us both embarrassment. I suggested I would call my wife so that she could pay over the phone and was told that they could not do this and she would have to travel to the store to pay which she could not do because she was at work and we lived 20 miles away. The only cause of action he said was to keep my bike in store until I retuned with someone with a card to pay the £10.98. The manager had no intention of helping me even though I pointed out cash is legal tender and I wanted to pay my bill. The bike was my property, paid for and not the stores property and I don't think they had the authority to suggest they would not allow me to take my bike until I had paid, which I was trying to do. Fortunately a woman and her son approached me because they had overhead the conversation with the Manager. They offered to pay because they said the Managers attitude was unhelpful and they were disgusted that somebody was being treated so badly whilst trying to pay their bill. It would of been helpful and would of stopped a lot of embarrassment if it has been explained to me when I booked my bike in for repair that they only accept card payments. I would like to thank the two people who came to my assistance and helped me. If this is now Decathlon's customer policy we will not be using the store again or recommend to family and friend. I find it difficult to understand that the store or Company think it is acceptable to suggest that a customer should approach other customers in store to ask them to pay a complete strangers bill on their card.

I used to love decathlon products until a few years ago. I used to love visiting decathlon stores in Bangalore and buy workout gears, jacket, in fact all my regular wear clothes from decathlon. But somehow I have felt this recently that the quality of decathlon products is gone down tremendously. For reference, I had a blue quechua 1L water bottle (non plastic) which I have been using from 3-4 years. It was always roughly handled and there was not even a single scratch on the bottle. It was perfect for use till now. It was for Rs.399/0 Last week, I purchased the quechua 1L green water bottle (non plastic). By mistake it slipped from my hand and fell on a cable on the floor and there is a huge dent on the bottle. Imagine falling on a cable resulted in a dent. That was shocking. It is for Rs699/-. Prices are going up and quality is going down. I'm sorry to say you just lost a customer. I don't think me and my husband will ever visit decathlon again.

HORRIBLE! purchased a bike for my daughter and within days the rubbed tire fell apart as she was riding. After weeks of discussing this situation with them and wanting an exchange on this hazardous bike I’ve been told this is due to deflated inner tube inside the tire and it happens when it sits in there warehouse for too long. So because they have had a bike in there warehouse for too long it’s my problem that it arrived this way. My daughter fell off as she was riding, how is that exceptable. Tire no long stays inflated and I’ve had the bike for 2 weeks and it was only riden 3 times. Save your money and shop elsewhere. They tell you that your child’s safety is at there utmost priority but thats all BS. At end of day I’ve been told there’s nothing they can do in terms of exchange because it’s common practice to pump your tire every time your ride it. Well we own Cannondales and I’ve never ever had to do that before. We purchased the ROCKRIDER ST 120 20" KIDS MOUNTAIN BIKE, don’t buy it. But I honestly wouldn’t buy nothing from them as I saw another review on here with the same issue. Btw there bikes are made in China so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with there crappy workmanship. I had such high hopes in this company. There website looks very professional but clearly they are NOT! Willl be filing this with my credit card company.
