After my last review, fanatics did the right thing by deciding to reimburse me for the entire amount that I paid. I eagerly took this money and went back to the fanatics website to buy a Browns shirt that's the correct size. Since XLT (Extra Large Tall) was so baggy that two people my size could have worn it at once, I obviously needed to go a size down. As it turns out, they don't sell any LT (Large Tall) tees and the only clothing items they sell in that size are goofy orange polos! Since they don't have LT shirts, I thought that maybe the regular large would suffice. I ordered the shirt, put it on only to look down and see my stomach hanging out. I returned the large tee and ate the eight dollar shipping fee after all. I find it comical that there is such a gap in sizing. I'm a tall, athletic person (Think basketball shooting guard... 6'6' 230 with wide shoulders and no gut hanging out) so I don't always have the best time finding clothes; however, its absurd that their sizing goes from belly tee shirt to cape. Hopefully one day Fanatics gets it together. I've updated my review from one to two stars since they reimbursed me for the first purchase, but i cant give them any higher than two stars due to their absurd sizing.
I bought a t-shirt and it was the largest XL shirt I've ever seen. It was about the size of a XXXL Nike tee. Obviously I needed to return the item. I can't believe that there is a major clothing website without free returns. They made me use their label and charged me $8 for shipping. I paid eight dollars to not wear a shirt. I'm not sure what size I'd need. Each wrong guess will cost me another eight dollars so there's no incentive to ever try to buy anything else. I was going to drop another $150 if the item I ordered turned out. It didn't and fanatics will lose out. I would have spent thousands of dollars in my lifetime on their site and now all they'll get is $8. I hope it was worth it for them.
I ordered a baby romper august 23rd still hasnt shipped. I wrote them on their facebook and was told the warehouse had a backup and the order was delayed. 10 days is insane

Ordered $9,000.00 worth of stuff for a contest we had at work. Order came in I was missing 50 pieces. I called and they mailed some out. I am still missing 18 pieces that they will not sentd unless I ship back the whole $9k worth of product back to them at my cost. I was supposed to have a supervisor call me back and they still haven't in over 2 weeks. No packing slips in any of the boxes. Terrible service.

Please check your inbox for the return label that was issued to you on 8/22/2019. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Don't order! Sent the wrong size, called and wanted me to pay a return fee of $9! For a size I didn't order! Scam! Sent me to a bunch of different people after leaving me on hold. Still have the item 2 months later. Shame on them!

I ordered a customized football jersey from this company. I had no problem with the shipping or arrival time it took to get my jersey. The problem I had was the numbers and letters that were "heat pressed" onto the jersey. I could have bought some cheap letters and numbers and done the same thing with the machine that I have at home.
For $100.00, I was definitely expecting "sewn on" letters and numbers, like a REAL, authentic football jersey.
Don't waste your money on these "cheaply made" football jerseys.
Hello Sean, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you are unhappy with the quality of the jersey. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. On our site under description mentions that the Game Football customized jersey will be sent as a screen print numbers and logos. Unfortunately, there are no customization for the Nike Limited Jersey but for only certain numbers on the team. If you need further assistance, please private message me and I will be more than happy to further assist you. Sincerely, Julian

I ordered 6 items that the site quoted would be shipped in one day and delivered in 19 days at the latest. I received a notice that one could not be sent as it was out of stock. Another shipped 5 days later and won't arrive until after the promised date... which is after the trip for which I ordered it... the others wee shipped yesterday which is 8 and not 1 day as promised and they will get here? Who knows! The website continues to quote that the very same items will ship in 1 day and arrive in 3 to 5 days. Dishonest! I would not have ordered anything had I known their delivery reality. I even called before ordering to confirm that everything would arrive before my trip. Something told me not to deal with this company. I wish I had read the reviews. I'm hoping this review will spare someone from dealing with this incompetent company who makes promises that they know they can't deliver (literally) on! Don't quote a shipment time or a delivery time and maybe you won't have angry customers that won't be return customers. You are 0 for 6!
Hello Linda, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the order not shipping within the time frame. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Due to an outage in one of the warehouses caused packages to be delayed in shipping. Upon attempting to ship out the other item, it was determined that the item was out of stock at the time of picking the item. Due to one of the item was going to be too late to receive, you requested to have it cancelled and refunded. I will be more than happy to further assist you with this order if there is anything more that can be suggested. You can private message me your request. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Fanatics has made the process of ordering a custom item, and helping with the process of a lost package a breeze! Very efficient and timely customer service, and shipping! Thank you Fanatics and team! Definitely 10/10 recommend, and will be back to order again in the future.
Hello Chelsea, we are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. Thank you for taking the time to let us know! We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Julian
Ordered a collared polo $43 with shipping and it was a $10 shirt at best. Tried to return it and they are charging me $9.99 to "process" the return! Never worn, literally took it out of the package and stuck it right back.
Good morning Brent, we do see you had assistance with the return and our agent waived the return fee as a one time courtesy. We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience brought upon you and we would be more than happy to assist with any further issue. Please feel free to reach back out at any time. Thanks, Deannaa.
I regret purchasing with this site. Customer service people are rude. You cant even track your items at all. Shipping and deliveries are slow as... its a bad experience very bad.

I have had so many problems with this company. I don't know why I ordered something from them again but this will be the last time. I have been sent the wrong item on 2 separate occasions and am currently trying to make a return and the system keeping telling me my order number does not exist. I tried to contact the company but their online chat is down and their claimed to be 24/7 phone service closes at 10:00 p.m. I am so tired of Fanatics screwing me over. This is the last time.
Good morning Caleb, we do sincerely apologize for the issues and inconvenience you have received. Great news, we have now emailed the return label to you. To use this label, simply print it out and tape it to the front of your package. You can return your order with your mailman, or through your local postal office. Returns can take up to 10 business days to reach our facility and be processed. You will receive a confirmation email once this is completed. Once we receive your return we will issue your refund within 2-7 business days back on your original form of payment. The fee has been waived as a one time courtesy, we will issue a full refund for the item once it has been inducted and processed back into our return center. Thank you Deannaa.
Item was a birthday gift that they promised to deliver to me in a timely manner. I ordered weeks before the birthday party. They never shipped the item on the promised date and ruined a very special birthday. I still have not received the item yet and can't get through to them. They refuse to refer you to a live person. I ordered many items from them, but after this experience I'm done with them. They also mislead you with promotions and savings, but they rarely if ever apply to your specific order. They are a horrendous company!

Cristin Morel assisted me in correcting and tracking multiple orders I made. I placed multiple orders and made some errors with the shipping address. She was extremely helpful and went above and beyond in keeping me updated. Great service!
Good morning M. P, we are excited to see we are provided world class assistance in an effort to ensure we are still providing ongoing satisfaction as our it is one of our core values. Thank you for this feedback, Deannaa.
I ordered 2 items that were processed and stated to ship on the 14th of August, one arrived on the 21st and one is missing. The website is horrible, the updates are horrible and apparently they use Pony Express

My order I placed on 8/19 was said to not be delivered until 8/29. Longer than I expected and I was frustrated about the delivery time.
On Twitter I asked if it was possible to cancel this order. Your social media team (Arielle) advised me to send a DM with the order details. I assumed I was going to get a response back on the details of why the long delay.
Rather than let me know and confirm if I wanted to cancel this order it was cancelled promptly. Normally I would appreciate such efficient customer service however this infuriated me. Due to the lack of service and communication I received with this experience I'll never shop with Fanatics again.
Hello Steve, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the order was cancelled. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, a public post was directed to our twitter page about it really taking 10 days to get your shirt? Followed by can I cancel my order? In order for her to comply with your request, you were asked to DM the order number. When the order number was received, you were advised that the order was cancelled and refunded back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. It wasn't until afterwards you asked why it would've took 10 days to receive the item. Standard ground shipping was chosen which can take up to 3 to 7 business days to be delivered. It takes 1 business day to prepare the package to ship the next following business day on 8/20/2019. The 7 business days doe not include the weekends Saturday and Sunday. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
"We have been using Fanatics the last few years and every year enjoy the experience more than the last. Most recently we have made multiple orders of 20 or so items for the upcoming football season. Making the experience better this year was the customer service provide by Cristin which has been incredible. Her personal attention to address our needs or concerns has definitely been A-Plus and will keep us coming back. We hope she can remain our service rep and recommend you make her yours as well. Thanks again for making it a great customer experience Cristin."
As always it has been to order from fanatics and thanks to Cristen for helping me through an order. I love what fanatics offers and their customer service!
Hello Angelica, we are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. Thank you for taking the time to let us know! We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Julian
Love it when it reads 20% off all orders then when you go to place the order it says items excluded! What does all orders mean? It means not some all! Then underneath the % off it says excludes certain items! The only crap on sale is the crap nobody wants to buy! You guys have ruined online sports apparel shopping with your monopoly! You killed the lids sight for their rewards members! Thanks for nothing!
Hello Gary, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry the exclusion to our promotion. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, there are items that are excluded from the promotion deal. If an item is low in inventory or certain products which the manufacturer product can not be discounted. Most of the reason and terms can be located by clicking the banner on the top of the page. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I bought a hoodie and a t-shirt to celebrate the Raptors NBA title (on the same night they won, June 14). They said that they would ship no later than June 24. I did not receive the shirt until late July after calling customer service several times and STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED the hoodie. They did send me one hoodie last week, but it was a Medium, which is not what I ordered and way to small. I have called customer service several times and they have said that it is impossible to get this hoodie in the right size in Canada... imagine that... a Canadian fan wanting merchandise for a Canadian team. They say they have the hoodies in the US but are unable to bring one over the border. Their solution would be for me to re-order the hoodie from the American site, and pay the exchange rate and shipping... cause this is my fault right? Why would I be punished for their mistakes.
I truly cant wrap my head around how they can promise Canadian fans merchandise for the ONLY Canadian team in the league and not come through with the product. I am a struggling student as it is, so for them to take my money, put me through this process and offer no sort of compensation is absolutely ridiculous, will never order from Fanatics again.
This company is completely fraudulent
Hello Dave, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the wrong size hoodie being mailed to you. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The item purchased was a special event item. Due to high demand for these items, it was put on Back Order. Unfortunately, the wrong size was shipped and is currently out of stock. The order has been completed refunded and take up to 2 to 7 business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Company did away with over $100 in rewards via merger. I was told they'd fix it and today they can't look into it. 2 months ago Julian said don't worry we will get it fixed. Horrible company. Worst thing to happen to lids.

Hello Greg, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you were unable to find the correct size of the item. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I understand that sizing can be very tricky when purchasing online. There are several ways that this can be a little bit easier for you. On the left side of the page, there is a search by certain size options. This will bring up all size available on our site. The other way could be to contact us for an item check. A ticket can be entered prior to purchasing an item to get the exact measurement for the product. Depending the manufacturer, some items can vary from size to size. I have waived the return shipping charge to send the item back. As you well know you can print out the label and attach it to the package. The package can be returned at any local post office or FedEx Store in your area. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
