Got served an ad offering a free backpack when you sign up on Decathlon Moorabbin's page. The backpack is the NH100 10L HIKING BACKPACK
From the email:
Please Note: We will reserve your free backpack for you during the first two weeks of our Moorabbin store opening, while stocks last.
According to the rep, they'll be opening the end of November.
How the hell is a back pack $4.50?
I know right. Makes me want to go buy one just because it’s so cheap.
child labour or something mb
From www.ethical.org.au:
Decathlon produced no evidence that any worker making their clothes was paid a living wage anywhere in the world.
Decathlon has received at least one red mark on child labour scoreboard, indicating poor performance in one or more of these areas.
Decathlon makes little supply chain information publicly available. This company still has a long way to go towards supply chain transparency.
Tho, I still have a couple of products from Decathlon and their items are really quality compared to the price you pay.
Those African kids really know how to stitch, mm-hm.
Made in China with economies of scale…
What's wrong with its being cheap? Though. That's what we are all here for.
I have this backpack. It's great for carrying something small and it's very light weight with good build quality. The only thing I wish they could have done to make it better is to have at least one simple pocket/compartment/divider inside the bag as there is none.
It is probably worth noting that when they opened the other two stores, you got the free backpack when you signed up.
So if you already have an account with them, technically you can't get another one
Originally they told me October. Not much happening at the site. Work is slow. Also while stocks last. I hope that they do well. Hate Rebel.
They say:
Decathlon Australia (Moorabbin) "We are expecting to be up and about by November end 2019"
But who knows if they will be on time
They are now advertising at the new store to open 15/11. Suspect it may change again if they cant get all their set up working properly. There were staff at the store today. Assume for training in preparation for opening.
I was talking to the employee at the online Moorabbin pick up and he told me there is a $10 coupon because of its opening soon. I forgot what the code was. Any idea what it is?
It's "MOORABBIN"
Just tried it but couldnt get it to work - do you know the conditions?
So do I have to go tomorrow to get my free back pack? Or will they hold it for 2 weeks?
While stocks last or 2 weeks after tomorrow.
Did anyone get their backpack today?
got mine today, plenty of stocks when I went there in the afternoon. But a lot of people are grabbing them, so not sure how long it will last.
Yep got mine tonight too. It's odd how you basically just help yourself.
Honesty system applies.
Still plenty there when I was there at about 9.30 today. Very small backpacks. Can't expect too much given its free.
They are allowing us to choose the color for backpack ( about 5 colors available). Half full trolley of each color was there @5:30 this evening.
Only some left at checkout now.

I have a couple of that model. My wife got tired of purses breaking so she uses that now. Loves it.
