Next Day Shipping
November 23, 2018

You need to fix your website. When I ordered on Monday for next Day I expected to receive my jersey by Wednesday. Well, Wednesday is here and no jersey. Called CS and the lady argued with me over next day. It has special shipping and could take 3 business days. Then why did the website take my next day payment knowing It would not reach my home next day. Wow, you refunded my shipping. No jersey in time for the game on Thanksgiving. Very disappointed.

Hello Stephanie, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package didn't arrive as you expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that you purchase is made once the order is placed. On our site the time frame on how long an item will be shipped is located on the add to cart and several more times highlighted in green that this will take up to 3 business days to make. It will then ship by whichever shipping method that was chosen. You chose the next business days shipping. Because our warehouse was closed for the holiday Thursday, the package wasn't shipped out until the next business day 11/23/2018. Packages shipped out next business day on a Friday will not be delivered until the following Monday by the shipping carrier. As a courtesy, the Advocate refunded you back the shipping to the method of payment. It can take it up to 2-7 business days to reflect back on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

NEVER AGAIN!
November 23, 2018

Ordered a jersey for a game 2 weeks ahead. Shipping estimate was 6-9 days. It's still not here 14 days later, the company seems not interested and has horrible customer service. Wish I saw all the 1 star reviews before I ordered.

Hello Michael, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package didn't arrive as expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that you purchase is made once the order is placed. It can take up to 3 business days to make and then ship by whichever shipping method that was chosen. You chose the standard 3-7 business shipping. However, the package was delayed and emails were sent to you regarding being aware of the issue. Because the order was placed on 11/6/208, it should've shipped no later than 11/9/2018. But it was shipped out on 11/14/2018. The expected delivery of the package was suppose to arrive by no later than 11/20/2018, which package was delivered as expected. Our site do offer other faster shipping method if it order is time sensitive. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

I am ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED with this company! I ordered a $119 custom sweatshirt with my son's little league team, his number and name on it, and was SO excited it came in before his team went to the Championships. I washed it INSIDE OUT and HUNG DRY it ONCE - and the letters are already coming off! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I contacted Customer Service, and they were USELESS. I don't care what your policy is, POOR QUALITY at these prices should be REPLACED OR REFUNDED.

500$ worth of gifts that I am trying to buy out from their website: they are unable to process my payment whether by Credit Card or Paypal. Telephone Service is worthless! Not the first time saddly! I am trying to buy from these guys for months and their website is down. I am not ordering from a cave in Pakistan... I am ordering from Canada. Very frustrating...

Customer Service
November 19, 2018

I ordered from this site and shortly after I was very nervous as I did not receive a confirmation email with my order number, and I then read most of these bad reviews. I called their customer service help line and I feel much better now. The agent assisted me even though I had very little information about my order and was able to help me get my tracking information.

In the future, we will be more diligent in making sure email confirmations are sent accordingly with all information. Thanks, Julia.

Don't but their fanatics branded clothing. Very poor quality. My product came glued together. If this sounds strange, I agree. I have never received a T-Shirt that has arrived glued together, but in this case I did. Customer service showed zero concern that the product arrived in such a dismal state. Really disgraceful

Never Order From Them
November 19, 2018

Customer service is horrible. They give you false information and the supervisors are condescending and do not care about the customer. Ordered a jersey for a birthday gift, stated it shipped, 7 days later srill waiting, called cistomer service and they dont know where it is. They will send me a new one next day shipping, the next day order is still processing... i call they inform me that it needs to be made so it wont be shipped for ay least 3 days... missing the birthday which was the whe point of sending it next day. Spoke to 2 supervisors who were not nice... they offer to cancel the order, like I couldnt do that myself. I will never shop with them again.

Zero stars
November 19, 2018

Ordered a hoodie to wear to a game. It shipped well passed the promised time and won't arrive until after the time I expected it (and can't wear it to the game). The customer service was less than useless and couldn't care less about my concerns. Horrible.

Hi James, we were able to review this order and see it was placed on November 10th, one item shipped on November 11th, and the other on November 13th. We can see both of those shipped earlier than what was originally expected. We can also see that the shipping method chosen on this order was the standard 3-7 business days and we have to ask that you allow that full time frame for the packages to be delivered. For the package that shipped on 11/11, allow until 11/20, for that package that shipped on 11/13, allow until 11/22. Once again, we sincerely apologize for this confusion. Sincerely, Julia.

After getting no help on the online chat, I called and spoke to Brandon. He was so helpful, resolved my problem in less than 5 minutes! So professional and helpful, very much the opposite to the chat experience.

I received a Ceramic dish as a gift. Was initially delivered completely smashed, in several pieces, with the dish just sitting in the bottom of a box with no padding on the bottom and 2 pieces of packing paper on top - no wonder it was broken! Gave it the benefit of the doubt - contacted customer service who was very responsive and immediately sent me a replacement dish. Received the second dish smashed in even more pieces than the first! Same issues with packing - clearly a ceramic dish will be broken if not packed appropriately. Do NOT order fragile items from this company - they WILL break!

I ordered a product that was suppose to ship within one business day. Now a week has gone by and still waiting. ( it's in stock.) Doesn't matter which site of theirs you order from the outcome is the same. I see a huge legal lawsuit battle in this company's future. I suggest not buying from Fanatics, which includes all websites such as Nflshop, Mlbshop, Nhlshop, etc... till they get their act together and treat customers as a priority, respectfully and promptly. I've read lots of reviews for each site they own, none of them are good. Hope they improve soon. Btw... where's my order?

Transparent T
November 16, 2018

I bought a long sleeve woman's AZ Cardinals t. First I noticed on my receipt that the shirt wasn't sold to me for the "sale" price of 29 dollars. It was 44 dollars because they used the amount of the sale for shipping. They did reverse those charges, but who are they trying to fool? Then I get the shirt and it's so damn thin itll be dissolved within 4 washes. Womens shirts are getting thinner and thinner. This needs to stop. You'll have to buy another shirt to wear under it. Not worth the money.

Hello Staci, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you are unhappy with your purchase. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, there were no shipping charged on this order when it was placed. The shipping charge per the invoice was zero shipping charged. However, you were still refunded the amount disputed which amounts to the charge of the taxes paid for the item. If the item is defective, I waived the return shipping fee to send the item back. Please visit our return center to return the item to our warehouse for a refund. Once again, I apologize for any frustration that this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

I ordered a $70 sweatshirt on this site for my husband's birthday. I thought it was odd that they took my money via I PayPal almost immediately, however, I have nothing to show for it. Customer services can't find my email, phone number, nor my shipping address.

I'm pretty sure this is a shell company that pretends to be a retailer, take your money and now I have to deal with PayPal to dispute the transaction. This site should be taken down.

I ordered a shirt for a Christmas gift. When it arrived I found out that I only have 30 days to return it. Unfortunately that is before Christmas. I contacted Fanatics and there isn't a different return policy for the Holidays. I guess I will have to return it and buy it from some where else.

Hello Leslie, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the return policy. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that you want to return was sent directly from the manufacturer of that product. It is not our policy but theirs that they will only allow 30 days from receiving the item to return it. However, usually after Thanksgiving our return policy is extended to 120 days. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

I ordered several items last week after seeing a 20 % plus shipping sale. So far I have only received one item I purchased and after I spoke with customer service I was told that they have no time frame when the rest will ship. I'm not understanding cause they have the same sale going on and all the items I purchased are in stock saying ships within one day. Now after complaining I keep getting the run around and emails saying... Thank you for shopping with us. We know how excited you are to receive your merchandise. We are still working on a shipping update for order. I just would like the items I purchased in a timely manner, within reason, even a logical reason would be appreciated.

Fool me once...
November 13, 2018

I ordered a Fanatics brand product a year or so ago and had to return it. Paper thin, not fit to size and once you wash it, forget it. So I gave it a try again this week. Since they have a hold on all the sports leagues, I hoped it got better. Not at all. Exact same results but the prices are still pretty high. If you want quality, stick with UA, Nike, etc. I'm sending these shirts back and I'm done for good.
