Avoid Yeep.me and Decathlon – A Disastrous Experience from Start to Finish I ordered the Yeep.me Day electric bike through Decathlon (Order NL4HA48ZWRUF) and the entire experience has been a nightmare. First, Yeep.me failed to include my address on the shipping label, causing a long delay. When the bike finally arrived, it was broken, missing parts, and mechanically unreliable right out of the box. It was immediately clear the product was defective and not safe for use. I contacted Decathlon on April 3rd, the same day the bike was delivered, requesting a return and refund. Over the next month, I called customer service seven times and used the chat five times, with no resolution. Yeep.me hid behind Decathlon, offering no direct support, no return process, and no refund. Instead, they offered to ship random replacement parts for a bike that was fundamentally broken. Meanwhile, I was forced to use the defective bike for basic transportation, because I could not afford to buy a second bike while waiting for Yeep and Decathlon to act. Even after providing photos, odometer readings, and repeated requests, the companies continued to delay and complicate the process. Neither Yeep.me nor Decathlon demonstrated even basic customer care or responsibility. Summary: Product arrived defective and incomplete. No serious support from either Yeep.me or Decathlon. One month+ delay without refund or proper return. Terrible communication and shifting blame between companies. If you are thinking about buying a Yeep.me product or trusting Decathlon to stand behind the items they sell, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. I will be posting this review—and photos of the defective product—on every major review platform to warn others. Avoid Yeep.me. Avoid Decathlon. Buyer beware.
I received a defective item and am completely unable to get a response from decathlon beside an automated message of customer service will respond within 24hours, which is a complete lie. I am so disappointed as the item was a bike for my child's birthday and it was such a bummer to show him what he would be getting. I have tried to get a response through their online store, twitter and facebook to no avail. It's a $#*!ty company to deal with.
Follow up from previous review of this company. Bicycle finally showed up but no thanks to Decathlon's customer service. Never will order from this company again.
Decathlon might have some decent products. But if the assembly, packing and customer service are terrible it renders your product useless. I received a bike with a missing part and have been waiting for Decathlon response. You are better off with a local sports goods shop that will listen, fit your needs and result in a great experience rather than frustration.
Been playing golf for nearly 40 yrs first time a bag has degraded so much in less than a year...Already falling apart and collapsing under it's own weight, When I asked for service online, was told to go to store where I purchased, alas I don't live near the store anymore. So I'm out of a golf bag...Never buy from that place.go to a proper golf store...
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!
We ordered a bike for our daughter's birthday and the day she opened her present, the reflector on the bike was broken. Since the package was not damaged, we knew it came this way from the store. I contacted customer service, they offered us a 10% compensation or to return the bike. It was very disappointing, since this was a birthday present and a 10% seemed unfair. I will never use this retailer ever again.
You know, Decathlon is the only decent sporting goods shop in my area. And I really like that it's universal, meaning I can find anything for any kind of activity there.
So it is easier for me to go to one place and buy everything in one sitting. Instead of wandering around different malls and shops looking for the swimming glasses and then for the bicycle pedals.
Short version - I wanted to replace a shoe due to a defect (never used, bought them the night before) and they asked me to pay extra because the price has changed! Furthermore when I said that I wont pay extra, they refused to give me the shoe with the defect as well so I went home without the shoes (they refunded the initial amount). On their website it is clearly written that you can request exchange of a defective product. I wrote to Decathlon Bulgaria, then I called them (as I thought it is just a misunderstanding) - the answer was that this is out of their scope and that I have to talk with a manager in the store, without pointing any name or contact information of him.
************** that's the number of the query that I've raised to Decathlon Bulgaria)
Just received a 9' so called French design Surfboard. The advertised photos show high quality multi layer fiber glass epoxy with a solid foam core and wooden stringer. Photo shown is the advertised construction.
The board arrived packed in flimsy cardboard packing made from at least 3 or 4 cardboard boxes taped together.
The board was badly damaged. I can see 'inside' the board and there is NOT a solid foam core. A black hole is inside. See photo. Little sign of foam core.
I managed to contact the French office and the lady refused to connect me with anyone who could speak English. Beware.
DO NOT EVER BUY FROM THIS SHODDY COMPANY.
Very bad experience, I just paid bill and I adviced them, pls teach them good manners, and as well as it's not the first time, simply sales girls and boys roaming with mobile on tey r busy with social media, and they are not respond and they failed to promote ur valuable products and tey never failed to damage ur esteemed organisation,
Order: nl*******690
Totally unacceptable experience.
You've lost a customer who's been spending money in your store for years.
I ordered a 40 euro curl bar from you, and you sent me a kid's scooter.
I've been on live chat and on the phone with your representatives for over an hour this morning trying to get you to make things right. All you have to do is arrange for a courier to come and pick up the WRONG item that I DID NOT ORDER from you.
The mistake is yours, and it is totally unacceptable to expect me to waste my time, energy and money printing off a return label and carrying this large box a mile across town to a Post NL pickup point.
You've lost a customer over your mistake and unprofessionalism over a 40 euro curl bar.
I will leave negative reviews everywhere I can and contact my back to charge bank on the order.
You are basically thieves at this point. Unbelievable.
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 (*******@decathl…). 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 www.Amazon.com.
After hearing such great things about the trek 100 jacket, I ordered one. When I checked my email the order was cancelled without explanation. So if your goal is to be teased with a special price but not have the order completed, this is your store!
No phone number that works with Decathlon Laval, nobody even bothers to answer a phone. Book online for bike repair shop button is disabled. Good luck with any return or repair as the service is virtual non-existing.
Ordered online for over $700 of merchandise. After 1 month the package was still showing as not moving online.
Contacting the customer service by email was no clear answer. The status changed for delivered one day but no communication from Decathlon! My last email didn't ever get answered! After a call, the person told me they will take care of it and worst case they will refund me. I told them I didn't want that, I just want what I ordered. 1 day after no email, no call, and a refund!
Being from France I am used to pretty good customer service there. It seems that this part of the business didn't make it across the Atlantic! Don't order online, they don't know what they are doing and don't care about you! CEVA logistic, who is that?
It just making fool of the customers & doing fake promises for delivery.
Since yesterday, I had called many times for my product delivery but till now nothing has been done yet.
My suggestion to everyone do not to buy anything online from Decathlon
Very disappointed and had a bad experience.
I got a badminton racket, product seem find until i used it and the metal broke right away.
Décathlon told me that i broke it playing and it's my fault. Plus the 30 day limit is past ( government shutdown in january, not able to play)
I will never buy anything there again
I needed to replace my camping mattresses for a 2 week camping trip out east. There was low inventory at one store and buying online for store pick up not available. So I called end of day Friday to put 2 on hold for pick up at open of business Sunday morning. They agreed. Then I get a call to say they were selling them to someone else in the store. What is the purpose of putting things on hold? If you give your word to a client, and revoke it you are tragically damaging their trust in you. I would have paid for them over the phone, but it was presented to me as "too bad so sad".
I love cycling and hiking. Again and again, Decathlon has proven itself to have an excellent choice of all kinds of sports equipment - waterproof sneakers, rain coats, tents, hiking sticks, etc - with a price range that even I, who used to be an unemployed student working part-time, could afford. I can't recommend them enough.
