Across from Thepprasit on Sukhumvit Road, will be awesome having a full size store   

 

Awesome 

These store are incredible !!!

 

They’re a game changer for Thailand when looking for reasonably priced decent sports kit… bikes too…

…. the IKEA of the outdoorsy shopping. 

 

I find it impossible to go into Decathlon & not walk out with stuff I don’t really need !!! 

It means Lotus North Pattaya road will become even quieter

Maybe not, there are two MAKRO and both are equally busy

That Makro is small in comparison to Sukhumvit, once the new Decathlon opens i doubt I'll go back to NPR, a PITA road anyway

  Just another sign of booming Pattaya.

Opening 10 Jan, Friday

Don't see the point of going to Lotus on North Rd if i have been to Macro already! On the other hand I do make special trips to Decathlon.  Hopefully this new place will mean a wider variety of stock...

Went in to buy a cheap resistance band in Phuket.

"Can we have your email sir" = no

"Sorry sir this store is members only" = ok bye. 

My short lived experience with this shop.

Ironically ordered same decathlon bands from shopee or lazada without the forced email request.

Cut off your own nose to spite your face much ?.........    Whats so hard about giving them your e-mail ???

 

Every time you purchase something online (Lazada / Amazon etc or any other online shops) they all have your e-mail...   some people act as if their e-mail is a state secret !!!

Or just make up a fake email, they don't check it's valid.

How many shops do you go to per day that force you to provide an email for a small, quick purchase < 400฿ ? 

I draw the line there. Others can draw it elsewhere. I couldn't care less.

Hard to stop your private data being traded online completely but you can do your best to minimise it. 

There's a load of other reviewers on Google that also don't agree with the policy. 

As for spite nose. It's fine and still has skin.

ironically shopee and lazada have your email, and probably Decathlon as well after you ordered.

Yup...  but giving them your e-mail address is hardly a difficult thing to do - also Decathlon have online orders... So, we don't even need to go there !!... (if someone is not going to be stubborn and withhold their e-mail address) - I just find that all a little bit neurotic.

 

Decathlon don't send spam & junk mail etc - which is why some may object, otherwise, its just stubbornness for no reason.

Pretty much, 100% of the shops that I order online from....  As do all of the shops from which I make a purchase which involves registering for a warranty.

 

It is of course your choice, and I'm not questioning that freedom of choice not to provide your detail. 

I am questioning the logic process to make your life a little bit more difficult because you refuse to give an e-mail that 100's of stores and businesses already have.

 

I wonder if all the 'other reviewers' that don't agree with this policy are also of the 'boomer persuasion' and get upset and the insignificant things.

 

 

By giving your e-mail address you were never going to lose anything or encounter inconvenience.

By not giving your e-mail address you've added an element of inconvenience to your life as you now have to shop elsewhere, are less likely to find the same quality or the same price point.

 

So..... You'll end up getting the same item from Lazada, who, you've guessed it - have your e-mail address !!!

Ironically, refusing to shop at one store because you don't want to give out your e-mail address and instead using another store where you have to register with an e-mail account !!! 

 

I'm not sure you really thought your objection through. 

 

 

It's often entertaining on here to read of some of the objections people have and watch them tripping over themselves and getting in their own way....   

 

When Thai's comment 'Farang think too much' - these are the examples they mean !

Your email, adress, phone nr, and also information who you live with if also customer. Everything you buy getting linked up together from all the different shops you shopping at through Lazada

I don't know why farang wet their knickers about giving Decathlon an email address. I've never received spam from them in maybe 7 years.

 

An advantage is you don't need to keep a receipt you can logon and see your purchase

That won't help you if you try to return an item within the 2 year warranty

Im more troubled with the spam AIS sending me daily almost. Better now after we talked to them, but still their own bull<deleted> is endless

Same here...   BS cold calls...  all  my junk e-mails get filtered into Junk anyway.

 

The amusing part about the point of not wanting to give Decathalon an e-mail address is that I have never had an e-mail from them other than an online receipt and delivery notification for an online purchase.

I gave them a made up one......  they told me it is necessary to facilitate returns if needed.

I would worry more about Lazada and Shopee, they got email and phone number, from the seller right through to the delivery driver. 

Open today, that won't help the knicker wetters 

The Decathlon store at Lotus north has closed and move to the above new store.
