After reading all these reviews on scared my jersey wont be here in time for opening day. I ordered it on 3/4/19 and it says it should arrive 3/8/19 but it's a Bryce Harper jersey and I think they are in high demand. Also I've been tracking the order and it still says pending. Wish I would have read all the bad reviews before ordering from this company!

I have placed multiple orders on different sites and they never go through. Show as "refunded." No email notification, nothing. I am paying full price and buying directly from my university online shop.

FANtastic is fantastic!
February 21, 2019

I ordered a size large Clemson fleece jacket. When it arrived at my home, it was obviously mislabeled - it was a medium. Andrea did a wonderful job getting everything taken care of - on the initial call. Such grand customer service. You have a Fantastic customer for life. Go Tigers!

I ordered a $60 hoodie expecting something similar to what you'd get at major retailers at that price point. Instead I get a cheap sweatshirt in the wrong size, with threads pulling from most of the seams and on both sleeves. The logo on the front was cheap and poorly screen printed or heat pressed. The sizing was also small. Worst yet, I got to wait nearly 10 days for it to arrive. Ordered on a weekend, didn't "ship" until Wednesday and didn't actually leave Florida until Thursday. Save your money and shop somewhere else.

Hello Todd, thank you for your your feedback! I am very sorry that you received a defective hoodie. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. This item is made to order, it takes up to 3 business days to make. The item shipped out on February 13,2019. Depending on the shipping method that was chosen at checkout, it will be delivered by that date. Standard shipping is 3-7 business days, which is the method chosen at checkout. The package was delivered earlier then expected, on February 18,2019. I have emailed you a return label to return the item. The return label fee has been waived. If you would like to have the item replaced, please private message us. Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Sincerely, LeighAnn.

The worst company
The worst company. Is now the main supplier for most online retail sites for major US sports leagues. Have had three consecutive orders over 12 months be unable to be fulfilled, and then order is cancelled.

They NEVER have what you order. I once ordered a celtics sweatshirt from the celtics shop, via fanatics. Cancelled and refunded two days later. No email or notification, after wondering where my shirt is I had to go look to see the status.

Then, tried to order Red Sox WS Gear. The very same day the items were released for sale... same story. Two weeks later, no shipment confirmation (they give you a pushed out date to when to expect shipment, so you don't think its strange when you don't get a shipment confirmation within a few days)

Now, recently Patriots superbowl gear. This time though CBS sports, which of course contracts Fanatics. Same. Story. Placed order... never fulfilled, order cancelled and refunded

I really do not know how this company makes money. They place charges, but then refund, don't ship, and don't tell you. They're even too stupid to contact and say hey this stuff is on backorder, would you like to wait? They just cancel... its absurd.

Avoid ordering from any fanatics based site. Do a favor, and buy in store, or order from a retail clothing shop and have delivered to your store. Don't waste time with these people.

Bad service
February 14, 2019

The day i ordered i made a mistake on the size and realized it right away. So i called them to straighten it out but they said since it was a custom item i couldnt make changes. I was really hoping since i called right away that they can change the size. And when i did get the jersey it was the cheap lettering not the lettering for the team. Very upset at how much this jersey cost and not even gonna use it!

Still not satisfied
February 12, 2019
Updated review

Someone from fanatics contacted me. They have offered to give a refund of 30% of what I paid for the jersey. This just doesn't seem right for a defective jersey recently bought. Contacting BBB in the next couple of days if this isn't taken care of. Why would I want a customized jersey I won't wear?! BUYER BEWARE.

Hello Stacy, thank you for your response. I am very sorry that the item was defective after a few washes. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. It is our policy that after 90 days of the purchase, those item are non-returnable and it was a final sales item. In attempt to be fair regarding the situation, you were first offered a 20% discount off on the item and additional 10% off to make it 30% off. At this time any BBB compliant will be handled accordingly. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian


Horrible horrible service
January 21, 2019
Previous review

I ordered a custom jersey on October 18,2018. I received the jersey at the end of October. I've washed it twice and the white numbers are cracking and have a black tint (the color of the jersey is black). I have approximately 20 jerseys. I've had them for years and have never had any problems. I tried their customer service. What a joke! I finally asked for a manager because all they wanted to do was give me 20% off a future order. I speak to the manager and he wants to give me a deal if I order the same jersey (which I paid around $150). TJ said I can buy another one for $59! Why would I want another one? The first one is obviously defective. I wore it 4 times. Then I ask for his boss & I am given the corporate number. I have left 2 messages and nobody will return my call. Sad thing is I have ordered so much from them over the years. They lost a good customer and I will make sure I tell everyone about my horrible experience because they didn't make it right. If they would have reimbursed me and asked to send the product back or even given me a store credit for the amount I paid for the jersey I would still purchase from them. Instead I will find any website I can and leave this review. My order 27919213802
Fanatics replied asking for my order number to take a look. I posted it and two days later I have not heard anything back from them. Still waiting to hear back after they asked me for the order number. Going to post this on more sites now. What a bunch of bs from fanatics. Don't order anything from them if you have to return for any reason. I wish I could give them negative stars.

Ordered a jersey that to date still not received and it's been 16 days since the order was placed? Fanatics did not process order and send to Fedex for another week after I ordered. Unaccepatable customer service and inefficient. Very disappointed, would not recommend!

Courtney was pleasant, well-spoken, accurate, and extremely patient. Her supervisor was equally well-spoken, clear, knowledgeable, and pleasant. Both were obviously happy in their work. In a world that often seems to be filled with chaos, misery, and low standards they were absolutely refreshing.

Terrible service.
February 1, 2019

First I ordered a customized bruins sweater and after one wash the writing came off. Called to complain and they sent a new one. Four washes later and that one is now coming off. Second time I ordered two sweatshirts and an hour later realized I chose the wrong size. I called and they told me they can't make the size change even though it's only been an hour. Because they're custom I can't send them back for a different size. So I'm stuck with a medium even though I'd called immediately after. They told me there was no way to contact the warehouse to request the size change. Despite the price being the same and no way to cancel the order. Useless. Never ordering from them again.

Hello Danielle, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item was defective. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the initial contact was regarding the item being washed once and was defective. The request was to have the item reship. There was no mention on having the size changed. After the reships are placed after 30 minutes the system is unable to make any changes to the order. Had it had been known that the size was needed to be changed, a request for a refund could've been made. I am unsure if you are saying the first product was washed four more times or the the replacement that was delivered on 1/15/2019 was washed four times. Please advise by emailing us at Customerfirst@fanatics.com or by sending your response in private message. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

I ordered a Team Canada hockey jersey on January 10th via the HockeyCanada.ca shop which is facilitated by Fanatics. I got an order confirmation and a message stating that the order had shipped via FedEx ground. I never received a tracking number, go figure. I contacted FedEx on January 25th to see if they had any information about my order as it should have arrived by now. FedEx had no information about my order in their system based on my postal code and personal information. I then contacted Fanatics on January 25th and was told the order would be re-sent with a different carrier and I would get a confirmation/tracking number shortly. After I had heard nothing by January 27th I contacted Fanatics again and asked to have my order cancelled and my money refunded. I'm now told I have to wait 3-5 business days for someone to get back to me? I just want a refund and will purchase the jersey elsewhere. This is by far the worst online purchase I have ever made in terms of service. I'm not sure how Fanatics is still in business if this is how they operate. My first and last purchase from this company.

I ordered an item and selected the wrong shipping address by mistake. Sent an email within minutes and I am still waiting for a response. I called the following morning since they were closed and asked them to ship it to the correct address. The item was located in Jacksonville, Fl and so was I. However, I selected my old address in California. I guess they are incapable of communicating with there warehouse to re-route the item. I even called Fedex but they said Fanatics had the item and they couldn't do nothing. Fanatics customer service just said they couldn't fix the problem and sent my item to California when I could have literally just drove over and got it. Smh

Jrs, we're so sorry for the inconvenience that this caused! Once packages are shipped, we are not able to change the shipping addresses due to contractual obligations that we have with the shipping carrier.

Terrible customer experience
January 26, 2019

I Purchased an NHL stealth jersey the day they came out And it took fanatics two months to come back to me and tell me it was not available. I was then not able to purchase another one. I ordered an NHL All-Star jersey with Erik Karlsson on the back and then was told a week later that it was not available and I also ordered another shirt and was told it was not available. This is a recurring issue with Fanatics. I am a plus size woman and the selection is awful online and there is not one item
In the Sharks store for purchase. Before fanatics took over this was not an issue it is now a big issue and I hear it from several other women. It is quite disappointing.

Do not order from here
January 22, 2019

Really horrible experience and would not ever order from this company again and I recommend no one else does either. I ordered two cowboys wine glasses for my boyfriend as a birthday present. I received an email that the wine glasses were delivered, however they were not at my house and no package arrived. I called customer service who was nice and reshipped the wine glasses for me. Then, after putting them in the dishwasher before using them the entire cowboys logo ripped off of one of the wine glasses and we never even got to use it once! Overall horrible experience with this company. Their kind customer service representatives are their only saving grace.

Purchased items from here before, items have been good quality. I am upset about paying an additional fee for 2 day shipping and not have the item delivered as promised. When I called customer service they had some girl that was trying to prove herself rather than actually hear the customers concern. I would not advise paying an additional fee for "2 day delivery". Still waiting on an item.

365 Day Returns - No so!
January 14, 2019

I ordered shirts the end of October. Ordered 2 in order to get qualify for free shipping. 1 shirt was a Christmas gift. Size Medium, that would fit an XL! I want to exchange, but am told "that shirt needed to be returned in 30 days". All over their website it says 365 day hassle free returns. No so! I was told if I return, they will donate and I cannot exchange. Very disappointing, especially for a $90 shirt. Will never use them again, or recommend them!

Hi Beth, we're so sorry for this issue! We do have 365 day returns for the regular items listed on the site, we were however, able to review this order and can see that these items were manufacturer direct, which means they come directly from the manufacturer. The return time frame for these is 30 days as they do come from a separate vendor. Once again, we're so sorry. Sincerely, Julia.
