Hi,
CSR was pleasant, efficient and extremely helpful with my exchange. She made what could have been a protracted and frustrating experience, an easy transaction. I will place more orders on site because of this transaction. Unfortunately, her name escapes me, but thank you for your excellent customer support!
Overall, Fanatics has been excellent. Their shipping dept. could be better; they need to learn to package collectible items much better. But customer service was great about replacing a damaged item so overall I was happy in the end.
Overall I had an excellent experience and am completely satisfied.
I've purchased so many items from Fanatics over the last 10 years that I've lost count. I'm a diehard sports fan and they have such a huge selection of merchandise to choose from. I always find myself spending a lot of time deciding on what to get. I really like the sales they have quite often because I usually end up buying something.
Great products and customer service. Quality of the products is great. I had to return/replace some items because they did not fit quite right. Very easy return and replacements. Completely satisfied.
Can't spell simple names right. All I wanted for Christmas was my Joey porter jr. Jersey. After talking to their customer service team sounds like we will be getting no benefits for a ruined Christmas gift…thanks a lot fanatics.
Purchased two custom printed shirts and when arrived very disappointed at the quality.
Front designs off center, OK, can live with that. But number on reverse which is supposed to be 11, looks like it's upside down and had random squares.
Paid premium price for these, and as some else posted, get flea market quality.
Beyond awful. I paid premium for next day delivery. It took 3 weeks and 11 emails filled with bare faced lies before I eventually received me FAULTY kit.
I don't know this is possible, but they store the kits in a way which leaves them with permanent creases which don't even come out after multiple washes.
Not only these issues, but their customer services team is a disgrace. Do not shop here. Also, be careful, it's not always listed as fanatics as they plug into some teams official stores. You think you're buying from your club but you're actually buying from these rats!
Ordered 2 items which did not work out. Made the egregious error of returning both items in the same box. Well, apparently Fanatics return people are not intelligent enough to figure out two items, two returns. Fanatics insists that I only returned one item and won't reimburse me for the other, claiming they didn't get it. I'll never shop here again. They're great at taking your money but horrible at giving it back.
Ordered a jacket that was discounted by $55. Much better price than any other sites, including Nordstrom. Got discounted next day business shipping which should have arrived Monday (ordered on a Friday) but showed up on Saturday. Very happy with selection, prices and service from Fanatics!
$100 for a screen printed jersey this is complete garbage. Horrible communication. No phone number. Ordered December 10 and was just delivered what a complete disappointment. I'm a single mother. I can't believe you are even in business.
We are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We would love a chance to make this right. If you will email customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number, we will be happy to look into and solve this as quickly as possible. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Mariah
They have great items however the insulated mug I ordered arrived with a broken lid. After having to spend 5 minutes to get through their automated system, Their practice of selling items distributed by a third party vendor ruined my day. I ordered this for a birthday present two weeks in advance but Fanatics could not get the item replaced for at least another two weeks which is past the birthday date. Rep was like working with AI just repeating the same useless information over and over... put on hold three times and after 24 minutes still could not help. Worst customer service I have had in a very long time. Could not refund or return.
Rick, we are truly sorry for the experience that you've had with this process! We see that a replacement for your Tumbler has been issued and it's expected to ship on Tuesday, November 27,2018. Once it ships, a shipping confirmation email will be sent. If there's anything else that you need assistance with, let us know. Sincerely, Julia.
I ordered a pair of shoes on Sept 3.3-7 day shipping my $#*!. It's almost 2 months from my order date and still have NOT received my order. Just more emails pushing it back. Latest is Nov. 9. Cannot get through when I call. Online chat disabled. Do not order from fanatics. I will definitely tell every sports fan I know to steer clear of this mess
Good Morning, Dawn. I am sorry for the delays. I will be happy to look into this for you. Please email me at customerfirst@fanatics.com. Thank you, Maribell.
Promised 2 day service. Arrived in 5. Back ordered the most important item and shipped it 2 weeks later "standard ground." I had other (less expensive) choices I am very disappointed that I chose this site. I should have researched more extensively..
I have purchased from Fanatics on four different occasions, all except the first purchase, the orders were late or had to be reordered. The delivery service they use is horrible. Wonder how much product is stolen and resold by the shipping company?
BEWARE! First of all I should have listened to the bad reviews here and I didn't expect to experience this as well. Worst customer service. Customer Representative who didn't even mentioned his/her name just abandoned me in the live chat conversation. I'm polite, calm and very understanding but the staff suddenly became rude and impolite in the end. Didn't help me process the cancellation of the order and failed to give me other options on returning process. Not considerate with my situation and customers treated like a garbage once they got your money online. I don't recommend this store and I advised y'all to find other store. You guys have been warned. Just read the reviews here, y'all would know
Kevin,
We appreciate your review, a message has been forwarded to the email associated with this order and we hope to rectify this matter. We apologize for the experience you had and look forward to speaking with you soon.

The personalized NBA jersey I got my son for his birthday/graduation present back in May already has numbers peeling. I called your store but didn't ask for my money back - just a replacement or to have it fixed. But, I was continually told nothing could be done because it's out of the "90 day return period", however, they do admit it's defective. Again, I don't want to return it for a refund - just have it replaced or even fixed. It's ridiculous that eventually all the letters/numbers will fall off and my son won't want to wear it fearing he will get teased. Buyers beware - you may wind up getting a defective jersey that can't be returned after 90 days.
Hello Sandra, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the policy of notifying us of any defects. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, after 90 days items that have been worn and washed a few times is unable to be replaced. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Don't go cheap or free shipping if you want it within 2 weeks. They pay FedEx the minimum so your packages just sit in their warehouses for days at a time. And Fanatics offers ZERO customer service. Worst company to deal with when you expect 3-7 days and it's been 2 weeks. Terrible service. FedEx is terrible too.
Wish I could give this website a 0 star rating. One thing I have to say is don't trust the time frames that they give you for the shipping. "3-7 business days" can easily mean 10-15 business days. And like many other dishonest companies they continue to use the pandemic as an excuse for their misleading shipping times. Never ordering anything from Fanatics again and I suggest those reading this review do the same.
I purchase a Reflective t-$#*!. Not sure why they call it reflective when light nor sun reflective at all. A very bland looking shirt without reflection in which they claim. Also the $40 t-shirt had a stitching issue on the left shoulder which made the shirt stick up off my shoulder looking extremely goofy. Went to send back for refund and found out they keep $10 of the refund for no reason at all, funny cause there big sales slogan is 365 day return. I was very upset to find out they were keeping $10 of my refund of a defective shirt. What a joke! Never buying from them again and suggest you don't either!
We are truly sorry that we dropped the ball on this. We have now waived the return label fee. Upon return of the item, the fee will not be deducted from your refund. If we still have not resolved your concerns please email customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number and name, we will be happy to make this right. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Shanick
This site never seems to have the products I'm looking for. When new jerseys drop for teams, you can only get like 1 player, or pay an extra amount of money to get a customized jersey. In some instances, they don't even bother to keep regular jersey sizes stocked. When I contact customer service, they said to just keep an eye on the website to see if items stock, which is a reasonable answer for a terribly run company.
Hey JP V.,
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with us and would love a chance to make this right. Please email me at customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number and info, and I will be happy to do all I can to fix this. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience but look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Adam
Answer: I have no experience ordering from Australia so I'm afraid I will be of no help. I do agree that the holiday will add a little extra time but I don't believe it's as bad as everyone is saying. I don't know why I had such a good experience with them when it sounds like everyone else is angry with them. I'm curious to see how it goes for you.
Answer: Good luck. I just kept getting stupid answers until I filed a BBB complaint. Then I got instant satisfaction.
Answer: Hello Timo, Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your business! Mike, Shannon, and Brad -- We would love to have an opportunity to work with you each regarding your less-than stellar experiences. Please provide your order numbers so that we may research and work on resolving your poor experiences! We value each of you and hope you will give us an opportunity to make this right.
Answer: No kidding. These fools are liars and thieves. They literally have fulltime dedicated employees who monitor sites like SiteJabber to provide responses to all the well deserved, nasty Fanatics reviews. It is entirely likely that any and all positive reviews touting their customer service are internally generated by their own employees. Write letters to your licensing body whether it be NFL or MLB and let them know about Fanatics and their FRAUDULENT and DECEPTIVE business practices. Fanatics should be glossed as Fraudnatics. BUYER BEWARE!
Answer: Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. When an item is found to be out of stock the money is refunded back to the original form of payment. In addition, we issue a store credit on top of this for the inconvenience.
Answer: I would not worry to much about the negative feedback. You should get your items delivered to you with no problem. It might take a little time to be delivered but I had no problems with fanatics.
Answer: Please provide us with the contact information we can best reach you with so that we can pass this along. Julia.
Answer: Thank you for your correspondence. I am very sorry that you had this issue with the item. If you could please private message me your order number so I can take a further look?
Answer: Hello, thank you for reaching out. Upon reviewing your orders should arrive no later than December 13,2017.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out Michael. Refunds can take 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect back on the form of payment that was used at checkout. Thanks, Cayla
