Bought a jersey as an xmas gift on December 14, and being from Canada I was told it wouldn't arrive till January 7th at the latest. Well, I received it xmas eve, just in time for Christmas. I was so happy! Couldn't believe it. I kept the jersey in the packaging, wrapped it up, and put it under the tree. When my partner opened it up on xmas morning we noticed right away that the jersey was dirty and previously used. I thought maybe I bought a game worn jersey, that's how dirty it was. Both arms have brown/yellow marks on them, the front of the jersey has a black scuff and a snag. What a joke! How does that even happen?! Now customer service is not picking up the phone due to a large volume of callers. WONDER WHY?! SOOOO NOT HAPPY! They better make this right... I am not paying for return shipping. Calling my CC next if this isn't sorted out ASAP.
I placed my order on December 10 and was to be shipped within 7 days, we're on day 10 now. I checked the order today and it hasn't even processed yet. I've attempted to call them at three different numbers, all with insane wait times. I was on hold from two different phones at once, one was up to 46 minutes before I finally hung up.
They had NO problem charging my credit card that very same day though. Where's my order?
I placed my order for one item on November 23rd and I still have not yet received my package. It said my estimated arrival date after a couple weeks would be December 18th. It is Christmas and I do not have my present for my dad. This place is terrible and will not answer me.
Hello Dallas, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package never arrived. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the package is showing the it was delivered on 12/27/2018. However, I have fully refunded you back for the order. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Ordered a rather expensive gift for Christmas first of December 2018. On 12/18 email from Fanatics said delay in shipping and all online inquiries said shipping pending. Customer service unable to explain reason for delay and had no information at all about the order.
Hello Peggy, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package didn't ship as expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the package was supposed to be shipped by 12/13/2018 from the manufacturer. On the 12/16/2018 an attempt to reach out to the manufacturer was made to verify date the package would be shipped. During the time it was determined that the package was shipped out on 12/23/2018. However, the package was not picked up by FedEx until 12/24/2018. The manufacturer upgraded the shipping from ground shipping to next business day shipping. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered a gift on December 16,2018 with the stated Fanatics promotion of "GUARANTEED by XMAS or it's FREE". I picked the correct shipping choice and I am still NOT getting my gift by xmas NOR is it free. The technology used by their website is nothing short of unacceptable. I received an email on December 16th with the notification the order was being processed and to thank me for my order. I called on December 22nd as every time I tracked my order on the fanatics website it still stated pending. Once on the phone with them I was told the order was cancelled due to a address issue which is something that still does not make full sense to me. I was not informed by any email, phone call or any other method that my order had been cancelled so that any issue could be corrected. I will now be left scrambling for gifts due to the poor service of fanatics. I would also not put any reliance in any guarantee that is made by the site either based on today when I asked if the order would now be free and was instructed that would also not be the case.
Hello Jas, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the order didn't clear during first attempt. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. An attempt was made to discount the replaced order but was declined. However, if you still would like to a discount code to use towards a future purchase, please respond to Customerfirst@fanatics.com. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
TERRIBLE Customer service! Placed an order on December 18 with the website stating it would be delivered by December 24. Received an email confirming order and shipment with a delivery date on December 21st. Package never came yesterday. When I called Fedex to track my order I was told it never was sent to them and directed back to Fanatics. When I called Fanatics today I was told yes it was never shipped and nothing they could do to get it to me until December 28. So now I'm left with the inconvenience of shopping for a new gift and waiting 5 days for my refund to get back to my bank account. Only offered a 20% off coupon for compensation. Told them to keep it. I will never shop Fanatics EVER AGAIN! Hope this hasn't happened to anyone else.
Kari, we are truly sorry and thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, we do see that the replacement item on this order was expected to ship no later than Wednesday, December 26,2018 and would have been delivered no later than Friday, December 28,2018. We do see that this replacement was then canceled and refunded and we ask that you please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect back to the original form of payment. The code that has been provided previously is still available for you to use in case you do choose to then utilize it and again, we cannot apologize for this issue. Sincerely, Julia.
First of all, the item I ordered was NOT labeled as special event. When I ordered this jersey along with another, the estimated delivery date on the website was the same for both, which was 12/10-12/13. You mentioned that this special event item was not expected until 12/14 but was received early and shipped out on 12/13 instead of 12/14, according to the shipping method chosen by me. The label to ship the jersey was created on 12/13, BUT it was not actually at the FedEx location until Sunday night. You mentioned other shipping methods were available your website, which is true, I saw them, but didn't think I needed it since the estimated delivery was 12/10/12/13. I just don't like being blamed for the late delivery. Oh, and I did contact Fanatics via twitter with no more than an apology. It took posting to this website to get $4.99 refund, which I do not feel is enough. Disappointing someone at Christmas time is priceless to me, so $4.99 doesn't even begin to cut it. I won't make that mistake again.
Hello Heather, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package isn't going to arrive as expected and, upon review, the item you selected was a special event item which was listed on the site at the time of purchase. This would then ship by whichever shipping method that was chosen and we do see that you have 3-7 business day shipping on this order. These are pre-ordered to the vendor and were advised of the date it will arrive to our warehouse. The items arrived early and was shipped out on 12/13/2018. This package should be delivered no later than 12/26/2018. Once again, I am truly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. Sincerely, Julia.
Honestly I haven't had any trouble with Fanatics until now. I've bought many jerseys over the last 8 or so years. This year I ordered two basketball jerseys on 11/25. I figured this was plenty of time to get them before Christmas. One shipped the very next day. The other one didn't ship for three weeks. Fed Ex is scheduled to deliver it after Christmas. To make matters worse, Fanatics is advertising that you can order now and still get it by Christmas. I could order the very same jersey and get it before the one I ordered three and a half weeks ago. How does this make sense? I get the new one would have expedited shipping, but the shipping isn't the problem. The problem is taking three weeks to get one jersey shipped.
Your company sucks it big time! DON'T EVER ORDER FROM
THESE LOSERS! They don't stand by their products, have terrible customer service, automated robotic responses to everything. I actually spoke with a woman who cancelled our order like we wanted and said everything was good. 2 hours later I get an email
Saying production was started and we could not get a refund. BULL$#*!! I WILL MAKE IT MY
MISSION TO
SLANDER FANATICS TO ANYONE I MEET AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE COMPANY.
Hello Jet, thank you for your feedback! I am unsure of your review. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, most of all the items on your order was shipped the same day the order was purchased and has already been delivered except for one that will be delivered on 12/27/2018. If this is incorrect, please send me an email at Customerfirst@fanatics.com and I will be more than happy to further assist you. Sincerely, Julian
Kamera is an asset to your company. She gave me one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had, and I'm 69 years old. Bravo Kamera!
Hello Madeleine, 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
Received an email confirmation of my order on 11/26/18 with an order #.
When called to track order mid-Dec... I was told the order was cancelled and the items were no longer available to re-order.
They said I should have received an email, but I did NOT!
No discount offered, requested to speak with Supervisor. Finally spoke with one 6 days later after 3 attempts. He apologized and said he did not know why I didn't receive an email? System problem maybe?
Again, 9 Christmas presents I never received due to their "system problem".
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Do not order from this company
Hello Elizabeth, I am very sorry that the order wasn't completed. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The order never cleared authorization. In order to resolve this issue, you will need to contact our Fan Protection Specialist at 1-855-222-2564 and International customers can reach us at +1-904-383-3632. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
The short story: Order on 11/27 won't get here until 12/26. I tried to call them earlier to have it fixed, and they said to wait, that it would arrive before Christmas. Still no package on 12/20.
The long story: I placed an order on 11/27, and as I am in Hawaii, 7-14 business days meant it should have arrived by 12/17. Within a few days, I received a notice that it would be delivered by FedEx on 12/26. I immediately called to tell them these were Christmas gifts, and 12/26 was beyond the expected date. I was placed on hold for a little, but the rep returned to apologize for the confusion on the tracking notice. She said although it says 12/26, I could expect it to arrive by the promised date. It's now 12/20 and still no package. The tracking says FedEx passed it to USPS on 12/10, and delivery still expected on 12/26.
Hello Mae, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package was not delivered as promised. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The package should've been delivered by no later than 12/14/2018. Shipping to Hawaii was supposed to take only 7-14 business days to arrive. Package was shipped by us on 11/30/2018. Unfortunately, once the package leaves our warehouse it is out of our control. It is up to the shipping carrier to deliver the package. I have refunded you the shipping charge back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused. Sincerely, Julian
I bungled an order and they took care of it straight away. Tarnica was very patient with me and completely accommodating. Thanks!
Hello David, 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
I ordered a JJ Re$#*! jersey for my 10 year old for Christmas. Fanatics had the jersey on it's website and in the drop down menu I chose JJ Re$#*!. The jersey arrived and I opened the package today. ON the front it had #17 and on the back it had Re$#*! with #71. I was extremely disappointed, I expected better from Fanatics. I went online to rectify the problem and started a chat. The women said she was sorry and would get this rectified. She gave me a number to call. I called the number and another woman answered and took my information and said someone would get back to me within 24 hours. I asked her if there was anyone I could talk with now who could rectify the problem and she said no. I told her this was a present for my son and I was now concerned it would not arrive in time for Christmas. She said she was sorry but there was nothing she could do. Now I sit here waiting to hear from the company for a mistake that was entirely theres. I don't know who works at the jersey department but it is ridiculous that they can't put the numbers in the correct order. Where is the quality inspection? And now there is no one availible to rectify a problem that was entirely there fault. Way to go Fanatics, never again.
Hello Steven, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the obvious defect of the jersey. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, the item was fully refunded back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I am truly sorry about your experience with our company. Sincerely, Julian
I called in very upset and Kameron was very polite and still helped me with no attitude you could hear it in her voice she did it with a smile. She went above and beyond to help even though I gave her much sass in the beginning. Way to go! Thank you
In the last 2 weeks I bought 3 hats in the site, and my order was refunded, them I bought again and it was refunded again. I'm not going buy anymore in this site.
Hello Adan, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the order cancelled and refunded. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, the order didn't clear verification and needed to be refunded. In order to to clear this matter up, you will need to contact our Fan Protection Specialist at 1-855-222-2564 and International customers can reach us at +1-904-383-3632. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered several items from Fanatics one of which my wife really wanted for Christmas. After several weeks nothing came so I checked their site for a tracking number and when I checked it said returned by UPS for an incorrect address. Meanwhile my charge card was charged. I called to order online and they was out of both sizes. After this I was told my card would be refunded. They kept my money to order other supplies and I received nothing. Stay away!
Hello Thurman, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package was returned to sender. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the number on the street address was never entered when the order was placed. The USPS was unable to deliver the package. When packages are returned to send, once our warehouse receives the package you are refunded for the return to sender package. However, the advocate could see package was returned to us and refunded you the order. However, you new order has been shipped and should arrive by Friday and Saturday. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
So far 0-2 on customer service. First my order was shipped to wrong address because Applepay changed address to one saved on phone. I tried changing address which ups said was possible but that it had to come from fanatics because of their policy. They sent product and just left at door in a 400 resident apartment building. So now they had to reship late to me new product and gave someone a free gift when it could have been avoided and on time. Now I tried again on a different product. I ordered shorts with a sale price. The shorts are small for a large so I wanted to exchange for XL size. They say I have to return for credit and buy new shorts. The problem is I have to now buy the shorts at full price not at the sale price I paid for them and they won't homer the price I paid for them. I think I am done trying them especially after reading other reviews as well.
Hello Gildardo, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the policies. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, our can not make address exceptions. However, if the carrier wanted to verify the address, Our Carrier Exception Team can contact the customer to make sure that the address is correct. Due to keeping inventory accurate, our warehouse is unable to send out exchanges for another size. The item will have to be returned for a refund and a new order would have to be placed for the correct size. I have waived the return label fee. You can return the item to us by any local post office. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I wish I could give 0 stars. I tried to order a gift card on line, but the site kept rejecting it. So I called the customer service number and placed the order. Oi received a confirmation email right away. This was on November 20. December 3 I got an email saying that my order was delayed. No reason given. December 16 I called to see what was happening with the order and was told that I would be contacted by the warehouse. Nothing. Today, Dec 19, I called again. No one has a clue. Talked to three different people. No answers. The last line of the email I received on December 3 said if I choose not to wait, that I can cancel my order at any time. NOT true. You can't cancel gift card orders. So essentially I am being forced to pay for something that I don't want. Stay away from this company.
Hello Mary, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you haven't received the gift card. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. On 12/16/2018 a ticket was open to our Order Management Team to find out if the item will arrive by Christmas. They are currently waiting on a response on the gift card. Once they have a response regarding your inquiry, they will email you with their resolution. If you have not gotten a response back by 12/21/2018, you can reference the ticket by 1904749. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Bought something from Fanatics on 12/8 that said it would ship on or before 12/17. Today is 12/19; I never got a shipping notice and no one bothered contacting me, so I called and was told it was delayed and would not arrive til after Christmas. When I explained that I have no use for it after Christmas and only bought it as a Christmas present, I was told there was nothing Fanatics could do and it was a manufacturer issue and up to them to refund - which they may or may not do within a couple days. I never purchased anything from your manufacturer; I purchased from FANATICS. My credit card charge says FANATICS. Why would anyone other than FANATICS need to refund my card?
Hello Julia, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the order was not cancelled. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that you purchase was a manufacturer direct item. On our site in the description of the item, it will advise that this will be shipped by the manufacturer on or before 12/17/208. Due to the delay from the manufacturer a request was sent to our Order Management Team to cancel the order. However, the package had already shipped out to you and was unable to be cancelled. You were offered to ask for the manufacturer to send you the return label if you no longer wanted to keep the item. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I placed on order, which they said was shipped with Lasership, which were Christmas presents. They said the delivered it and left it outside an apartment complex door. NEVER RECEIVED! When I spoke with fanatics, they said they have no control, and now I'm out over $100! They have not heard the last of me. They said they would reship, but now some of my items were out of stock! THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER RECEIVED,! THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES!
Linda, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the first package was lost. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. You were asked to give it 24 hours as possibly they weren't able to complete the delivery on 12/17/2018. Today you called to advise us that the package still hasn't arrived. Upon replacing your order, one of the items were currently out of stock. You were refunded the original shipping and for the out of stock item back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. In efforts to get the remaining items to you by Christmas, the shipping was upgraded to next business day at no additional cost to you. This package was shipped out today and should arrive by Thursday or Friday at the latest. You wanted an explanation of the refund amount and was advised that the the total merchandise price was not paid at the time the order was placed. You used a coupon code to discount the product. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
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
