The product was exactly what I was looking for, at a competitive price. There was clear communication about when I should expect delivery. The product was securely packaged and arrived safely.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Delivered within 24 hours even though I asked for 3-5 days of delivery. Shockingly good service. There can be no better experience with an online store than that, especially aware from amazon.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fast delivery just disappointed at the poor condition of both the box the skates arrived in really worn damaged and dusty and also the stitching had come away on parts on the inside of the skates themselves. These were bought as gift for my daughters birthday she thought I had bought them second hand due to their condition!

Lack of returns instructions on seller sites. Poor after sales service.

Poor customer service.

Ordered two knee pad sizes via Decathlon website. Tried to return one back to store to be told it had to be completed online, and returned by post.

I tried to locate and follow the returns link but this proved challenging, as it was information only, and no option or instructions on how to generate a returns label. After several attempts on different occasions and found an email address; by the time I found this (after visiting store and redirected to website) apparently I’d gone over the 30 days. Confusing as Decathalon has a 365 day return policy so I was not panicking thinking there was time to find the return link.

Poor descriptions on website, or no information; I guess the company do this so that they receive less returns!

Great service

Great service was able to click and collect from the store multi different times and they recognise me every time. I do think the website needs updating to include filter features to help search for items better on the website
