As reported -

From Thursday, September 16, Aussies can register themselves on the Decathlon Community Initiative as a 'most valuable player,' which allows them to select an item to receive for free, subject to a delivery fee.

Over 30 types of sporting items will be on offer for Aussies to choose from until they run out.

Each item — the options of which include a soft archery set for the family, a ping pong set, a yoga mat, resistance training bands and basketballs to name a few — can be used at home when stuck in lockdown.

    how much is the delivery fee?

    • mickyb80 on 13/09/2021 - 18:55

      Too much! Without being able to C&C, most of their stuff isn't worth it. Need to buy a few low value, cheap models to make it worthwhile.

      eBay and/or Amazon will often have the same or similar items with free shipping. Just really depends what you are looking at getting I guess.

      Was $8.20 for me for the portable table tennis set.

    "CORRECTIVE NOTICE
    PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA

    Breach of consumer goods safety standards and misleading conduct by Decathlon (Australia) Pty Ltd

    Following action by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the Federal Court has found that Decathlon (Australia) Pty Ltd (Decathlon) breached the Australian Consumer Law by supplying portable swimming pools, and basketball rings andbackboards that failed to comply with the Australian mandatory Safety Standards.

    The Court also found that Decathlon made false and misleading representations in the user instruction manuals and retail packaging for certain basketball rings and backboards,representing that the products were safe to affix to brickwork when that was not the case.

    Between October 2016 and December 2019 Decathlon supplied over 400 basketball rings and backboards products, and more than 300 portable swimming pools without the required safety labelling, consumer warnings and user instructions for safe installation and use. These products were purchased from Decathlon’s Sydney and Melbourne stores, or online from www.decathlon.com.au.

    Portable swimming pools pose a drowning hazard to children and the Safety Standard requirements remind consumers of the need to ensure active adult supervision at all times, to empty and safely store the pools after use, and for some products, the need to comply with Australian pool fencing laws.

    The Safety Standard for basketball rings and backboards was introduced to reduce the risk of death and serious injury resulting from improper installation and use, such as affixing the basketball rings and backboards to brickwork and swinging off the basketball ring.

    As part of its orders, the Court required Decathlon to pay penalties totalling $1.5 million together with the ACCC’s costs of the proceeding. The Court also ordered Decathlon to publish this corrective notice and to implement a compliance program with a focus on Decathlon implementing systems and programs to ensure compliance with the Australia Consumer Law and Australian mandatory Safety Standards.

    Decathlon has recalled the portable swimming pools, and basketball rings and backboards that failed to comply with the Safety Standards.

    If you have purchased portable swimming pools and/or basketball rings and backboards products from a Decathlon store or online between October 2016 and December 2019, we ask that you visit the Product Safety Australia website Recalls page at https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls to see if your product is subject to a recall, and then follow the steps outlined in the recall."

      "were safe to affix to brickwork"
      This is most likely true in Europe where walls are proper brickwork, not like here where they collate bricks against wood & plaster wall …

        A lot of homes in WA are double brick.

      • justtoreply on 13/09/2021 - 21:20

        Heh. Being a perthite it constantly amazes me that everywhere else isn't double brick.

        • ShouldIBuyIt on 13/09/2021 - 21:23

          There are a lot of old low raise appartement building with double bricks even in Melbourne.
          Most of the $1M+ houses are single brick though :-(

            @ShouldIBuyIt: If it makes you feel any better, there're very little advantage of double brick over lightweight construction packed with insulation.

      Reminds of Putin's name and shame of companies

  • mickyb80 on 13/09/2021 - 18:53

    I found a few things some weeks ago that looked worthwhile but came in under the min for free order charges.
    It's a shame, as I've never seen a 'shipping free' day from these guys. :(

    They have gotten their butts kicked in the past with warranty and product safety. But still not too bad on most cheap things.

    (Edit: cut and paste job above on the safety situation).

    • Succulent on 14/09/2021 - 10:08

      How does this work? So after I register, on the day say I ordered the archery set for free and just need to pay for the shipping fee?

      • mickyb80 on 14/09/2021 - 11:45

        No idea. I didn't bother looking into it.
        Maybe someone else can explain…?

  • UncleRico on 13/09/2021 - 19:53

    Do Decathlon still do birthday discounts or any other promo codes?

    Gotta buy me a kayak, but trying to avoid the lockdown tax…

    • PerthectDeal on 13/09/2021 - 20:25

      Yes 20% doscount code emailed to you on your birthday - just used it.

      PS. Can't wait for the day a Decathlon opens up in WA. At the moment their limited competition over here can charge $$$..

      • UncleRico on 14/09/2021 - 20:04

        Great news - thanks.

        What are the Ts and Cs of the voucher? Do they send it out on the day of your birthday? Do you know how long it is valid for?

        Since the kayak I want is out of stock for delivery at the moment, I'll need to register an account with the correct birthday at the right time for the voucher to be eligible by the time I can order the kayak.

        Appreciate the heads up - thanks again…

        • PerthectDeal on 14/09/2021 - 22:54

            @PerthectDeal: Thanks for the detailed info, but how long ago did this happen?

            I thought that was the generic code they disabled a month ago? I'm not so sure that it still works, unfortunately.

            • PerthectDeal on 15/09/2021 - 15:19

              @UncleRico: This was a few weeks ago, they enable the generic code to work on your account when it is your birthday

              • UncleRico on 15/09/2021 - 15:54

                @PerthectDeal: Thanks for the info. Will give it a crack in two days when my birthday rolls around.

                Muchos gratzis, muchacho!

    Anyone have the soft archery set and tell me how far the arrows can go?

    I'm thinking I can roll the ends in my dog's sh!t and shoot it at at anti-vax protestors.

      • pformag on 14/09/2021 - 20:46

        I've been chased by a goat once. It was scary as hell. They just keep coming

        • UncleRico on 14/09/2021 - 21:50

          They can be quite pigheaded. Somewhat ironically, in an Alanis kind of way…

  • hashash on 14/09/2021 - 12:18

    They appear to have revealed all the item they're giving now

  • LittleTicket on 16/09/2021 - 09:03

    Edit: figured it out but god it’s expensive. $45 for the archery set to be delivered 🥴

    • wa online on 16/09/2021 - 09:06

      The site has the code on the page now as well as quantity.

  • sclass on 16/09/2021 - 09:07

    Codes don't work??

    • wa online on 16/09/2021 - 09:09

      Out of stock probably? I was able to get the portable table tennis set.

      • sclass on 16/09/2021 - 09:11

        Yeah some work… not worth it with the shipping

    • Cropmy5 on 16/09/2021 - 13:28

      Seems like you need to enable "receive marketing" to be eligible for discount codes.

  • rxu210 on 16/09/2021 - 09:12

    Managed to get the plastip dart board for $8.20 delivered! Now to think about if it was really worth it…

  • Peelaw on 16/09/2021 - 09:21

    If anyone was thinking of getting the skipping rope, it might cheaper from amazon if you have prime. They're selling it for $7.95.

    Obviously depends on the shipping cost decathlon quote you.

  • wat223 on 16/09/2021 - 09:29

    If your paying for postage - you can get these 100 Warm Girl's Gym Leggings for $2 reduce from $13 i think. I got the Cross-Training Elastic Training Band

  • Ozjoey on 16/09/2021 - 16:51

    Thanks OP! Got the Adult Badminton Racquet BR Ad Set Discover. Shipping $8.20

    • dajiska on 16/09/2021 - 20:42

    Garbage deal. Classic Velcro Dartboard on its own $12 with C&C. Going through their hyped "Community Initiative Giveaway" it becomes $8.20. Decathlon is asking money for its gifts?

    • pizzaguy on 18/09/2021 - 11:36

      Random item: $12 with C&C vs $8.20 delivered - deemed "garbage deal".

      Garbage logic of a spoiled kid.

      • vovka on 18/09/2021 - 15:07

        Clearly you cannot understand what "giveaway" means

        • pizzaguy on 19/09/2021 - 11:48

          Lol. Clearly you feel you should those givaway items delivered to you for free.

  • Ozjoey on 30/09/2021 - 05:59

    Has anyone received anything yet? Still waiting…
