Unacceptable online customer service and huge delay for a courier's mistake!
I would like to make one thing clear from the start: I have been a Decathlon customer for years, I love the company, the products are excellent, and the staff at the physical stores are always flawless and extremely helpful. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the online customer service (helpgreecedecathlon), which is simply unacceptable.
On July 27th, I ordered seasonal (summer) products meant for my August holidays. On July 30th, I informed the company that the parcel was never delivered because the items were damaged/stained during transit by ACS courier (which was confirmed by the courier itself).
From that moment on, an absolute nightmare of delays began. Instead of Decathlon immediately replacing the items for their customer and sorting out the issue with their partner courier internally, they put me on hold. We went from one delay to another: it took 10 whole days just to see what would happen with the replacement. Even though I repeatedly stressed that the items were seasonal and I needed them urgently for my holidays, I only received standard, automated-like replies.
Fast forward to August 21st. My holidays have passed, I obviously never received the items to use them when I needed them, I requested a cancellation, and up to this day, August 21st, I haven't even received a refund!
It is unacceptable for such a large company to make the customer bear the waiting time and the cost for an issue caused by their courier, and for the email customer service to operate at a snail's pace. I hope this review serves as a wake-up call to improve helpgreecedecathlon because you are truly doing a disservice to your own brand and the hard work of your physical store employees.
