Ordered a t-shirt on 10/29 and order still "pending". The money came out of my PayPal account too. Called them one week after purchasing online and they said it would ship out no later then November 9th. I just went on their chat line and got the lamest message from someone that said the warehouse has to process the order. I can drive to Modell's in my town and pick up the same t-shirt so why is this so difficult to process my order. I also placed another order the same day from Fanatics on two other t-shirts and those arrived in the mail a few days ago so what gives? I feel like this order has slipped through the cracks and will eventually get cancelled because they sold out the product.
First if you ever need to speak to a human on customer service forget it it wont happen. I received my purchase but the size was wrong so I wanted a refund. They do not add a receipt or return label with your purchase. Not only do you have to print out your own return label but you also have to pay the return postage. I or my family will no longer shop here.
Darlene, we apologize for the hassle with the returns process. Since you received the item incorrect, please send us a private message with your order number and we'd be happy to help with the return label fee. Regarding no papers being included in your package, we have recently gone paperless and our returns process does have to be completed online. Sincerely, Julia.
I order a hoodie, thought all was well, however, the order was cancelled without any notification because, as customer service said "their initial screening flagged you and the order was cancelled". What? This has never happened on shopping site, ever. This is straight JV. The next day I reorder the item, selecting one day shipping on the item. However, when checking the shipment the next day it says its going to take 2 days to get here. When I asked customer service again, they stated it was an issue with the shipper. This is garbage. In a world with Amazon delivering in two days come hell or high water, this is unacceptable. Fanatics needs to make some serious changes or they will stay a two star business.
Hello Kellen, I am so sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. Upon review of your order, we can confirm the item purchased shipped with the next business day delivery, and was delivered in this time frame. The agent you spoke with last has refunded your shipping costs back to you, and we ask that you please allow 2-7 business days for this to reflect onto your original form of payment. Sincerely, Heaven
My order was received a day late. Usually not a big deal. Except I paid for one day shipping because I wanted to wear this for the game that I was going to. Instead of being given a discount I was sent a free return label. Won't even use them again. Guess I will try other company's for my future business
Hello Matthew, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you didn't get the item in time for the game. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the shipping method chosen was best value shipping to arrive faster than the 3-7 business days. Depending on the distance from the warehouse shipping it would've been received sooner. The Advocate did refund you the shipping back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Because the item was received after when you needed it, the Advocate waived the return shipping fee to send to our warehouse to receive a full refund. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered a product on 10/16 and the order is still pending on 11/6. I called on 11/2 to cancel my order due to the excessive delay. I had also called prior to 11/2 to discover the item was back ordered. Anyway, back to my call. I was advised the order could not be cancelled because it was already shipped. I'm confused, if it is still pending on 11/2 and still pending 11/6, why does it not show shipped? Again, this is my 2nd order with this grade b company. I believe in giving second chances. My first order was a 2 day shipping debacle that took 8 days to deliver. I paid $17 to rush order a product to be delivered in 8 days. I was furious then but I'm beyond that now. This is a grade b company and should be avoided at all costs.
Robert, we truly apologize for the issues you have experienced with your purchase. We would like to review order and assist with providing a resolution. Please send us a private message so we can look further into this issue. Thanks, Heaven
Close to impossible to discern the return process, then it stated that my email address was incorrect, which is not true, and did not list the phone number to contact customer service. They clearly make it exceedingly difficult to return an item.
Hi Peggy! We apologize for the hassle of the return process and have gone ahead and sent a return label via email so that you can print it out and return the items you wanted to return. You should receive that within 24 hours of me sending it and then you can take the package to USPS and return it using their service. Sincerely, Julia.
Never got a reply back, there is no way, they sent me a wrong case for my phone. Just for this reason, in case you get a wrong order, you should not and never buy from them. Scam
Alberto, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of receiving the wrong case and would like to assist you with this. Please send us a private message and we can look further into the issue. Sincerely, Julia.
I ordered a Notre Dame jersey for my son to wear to the game on Saturday. Spent over $100 and was guaranteed two day delivery. Well it shipped on time and was delivered to FedEx yesterday for delivery today but now I'm told it probably won't be delivered until the end of the day tomorrow. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Customer Service and they offered to refund a portion of what I paid, but that's not the point. The point is that the shirt should have been delivered today as promised. The guy in customer service was very nice. I have ordered a lot from this place in the past but don't plan to order again.
PS, I appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry for the issue and inconvenience of the package having been delivered later than what was requested. The shipping charge was refunded and that should go back to the original form of payment within 2-7 business days. Once again, I do deeply apologize. Sincerely, Julia.
Don't waste your time ordering from this company. I was promised days before Halloween that it crucial part of my family Halloween costume would arrive by 12 on Halloween. I arrived home at 1:30 to find the item was not delivered. I never received the confirmation email with tracking information due to a typo. By the way I went through the email spelling with the representative three times. Fanatics swore that the item was shipped and then it would be to my house by 4:30. I waited around. And it never came. Two different Fanatics reps promised me that it would be here. It wasn't and not only that it never came even the next day. I paid extra for expedited shipping and I didn't get the product at all. These guys are liars and scumbags use someone else to buy similar products
Hi Gerald! We are truly sorry for the experience that you had with the shipping and would love nothing more than the opportunity to make it up to you. Please send us a private message and we can look further into this order! Sincerely, Julia.
Expect a long delay in order processing, and even longer ship times, subject to change constantly. Fanatics then takes no responsibility as they will blame FedEx for shipping delays. Worse, they don't even really use FedEx, it's USPS disguised as FedEx. If you track your item the whole way through, I guarantee you will see what I am talking about. Terrible terrible service. If an order is eligible for ShopRunner, you are likely to have better results because they tend to stand by the 2 day shipping promise.
Hello Mo, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the shipping transaction. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, The package was order on a weekend in which the next available pickup date would've been Monday. The shipping method chosen was best value shipping which will get the package to the customer sooner than the Smartpost 3-7 business days. The package is indicating that it was delivered within that timeframe. Fedex and the USPS teamed up to help with keeping USPS in service. Fedex picks up the packages from our warehouse and ships it to the town in which the package will be delivered. Once in that town, it is turned over to USPS to make the final delivery. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I recently had a custom Packers t-shirt made and the miss spelled my name. Called customer service and because it's a custom shirt and their mess up they won't fix it. I mean how do you miss spell Bright really. I have always wanted a shirt made this way now I'm stuck with one that isn't even right. All I got from customer service was it's custom order nothing we can do.
Hello Karen, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the shirt was incorrectly sent to you. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have requested to have a new shirt shipped to you with the correct spelling. Once the label has been created and shipped, you will receive a separate shipping confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for the frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
So what you order is not what you get. First off, if could leave a 0 I would! They shouldn't even get one star. My wife order 4 New England Patriots sweatshirts with players names and number on the back, 1 men's and 3 women's. First off it took over 13 days for a standard overnight order to get. Second my sweatshirt (the men's) looks just like the picture, the women's looks like a 4 year old did an art class and made them. The name and number are off center and a completely different color. They are not what they are selling! They charge you 50$ and turn around and sell you something they are making over seas! We spent over 200$ and when we called all they could say was you will get a refund in 7-10 days... are you F-ing kidding me! How about ya we suck and do false advertising and scam people out of there hard earned money, and we have the worst costumer service on the planet. Don't ever buy anything from this site, it is a complete waste of money and an absolute nightmare to deal with after the fact. I will upload photos, the belichick sweatshirt is the one that actually looks like the picture, notice the difference in the rest.
Hello Michael, thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear about this experience and would love to work with you to get this resolved.

Thank you again, we hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Julian
Okay so this started out as birthday gift (end of sept). I ordered a hat, toque and shirt for the upcoming Canucks season. I received my shipment and the shirt was the wrong one. I called and they re sent the shirt. I got it and it was the wrong one again. I called customer service again, and it turned out there was the wrong pic/description on the website. I was refunded my order and picked a different shirt. I had to wait 5-10 business days because it was coming from the USA. After 10 business days I did not receive the order. So I called back today and spoke with Cynthia. She looked at my order and saw that my adress wasn't complete. She ended correcting this, shipped out the shirt again, and refunded the cost.
I ordered pj's for my son and a stocking and with the refunds I've received it only cost a couple of $. Plus she added the expedidated shipping at no cost.
What could have been a disaster, turned into a happy customer in the end.
Thanks Cynthia for taking care of me.
Hello Adam, 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, Julia.
Tontalayia was GREAT, I'm flying out to the game tomorrow and my package was returned on an error by USPS. Tontalayia went above and beyond to make sure my package is overnighted to me. So I can have my jacket and beanie for the game. Thank You Tontalayia and GO GATORS
Hello Tarrance, 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 Love FANATICS! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS STELLAR! Staff is knowledgeable in every sport, AND IF YOU SHOULD GET A NEW REP THAT IS NOT SURE, THEY WILL CONNECT YOU WITH SOMEONE WHO IS!
Hello Maria, 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, Julia.
When I called to let them know that I paid $25 for expedited shipping they told me that it was not their fault, but the carriers fault. Which I was fine with, so I asked for a refund of the expedited shipping expense and was told "NO". It was not their cause so they could not refund me the money. Truly unbelievable. When I finally got the product they knocked on my door at 10pm at night for a delivery. I have returned all my goods and truly hope this doesn't take weeks to put back on my credit card. The best part is I had to pay for the return shipping as well. Just made me laugh. Won't order from them again, EVER, and I have shared my story with so many people to make sure they don't as well.
Hello Mitch, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package didn't ship as you expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Depending on the items that were selected it could take one business day to package and then ship next business day. The others can be consider demand made in which it could take up to 3 business day and then ship next business day. The order was shipped in two packages. The first package took the one business day to prepare the shipment and was shipped on 10/18/2018 and arrived the next business day on 10/19/2018. The second package wasn't schedule to ship out but was completed early on 10/19/2018. Because it was the weekend, it was not delivered until the 10/22/2018 the next following business day. As for the shipping obligation was met by expectation. However, I have waived the return shipping fee to send back the packages by USPS. You can drop the packages off at any local Post Office. It can take up to 10 business days to arrive and be refunded. Once refunded, it can take 2-7 business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
They put a note close to the order information ships in 3-5 days. Then in small print that it could take up to 20 days to ship. I bought this as an anniversary gift and here I am 3 weeks later still waiting on my item. I relieved a notification that it shipped on Saturday, but according to Fedex it's 'Pending'. When I called to see when I could expect my order, I was told another week.
Hello Tiffani, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package didn't ship as you expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, the item selected is a special event item. On the site it is usually highlighted in green on three separate pages during check out. Once the item has been completed, it will ship by whichever shipping method that was chosen. Standard ground shipping was selected on this order and was shipped with 3-7 business days. The package is scheduled to be delivered on 10/27/2018. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I have been buying merchandise for a lot of years from fanatics but seems to be going downhill.
Order placed on Oct 17 paid for next day shipping as of 10/23 have not received merchandise ordered. Called and they said they would credit the shipping costs but does not help the boy whose birthday was the 21st to receive his shirts! Supposedly to receive one shirt today 23rd and the second on the 25th. Second time in a month this has happened. They used to be so prompt don't know what is going on with them!
Due not buy from Ron Horton. He is a liar and a scam artist. You will not get your moneys worth. This company will not honor their commitments. They will throw anyone under the rug to save themselves.

It took 3 weeks for my order to come in and after a week and a half it was still pending. Ive ordered many things off this website before and they were great, the sweatshirt i recently bought looks nothing like the image online and the material got very cheap and it looks very cheap, they never were like that before. I am very disappointed that I spent $75 on this sweatshirt. Can you say, "can i at least have some money back?"
Nina, we are sorry to hear that the quality of your item was less than expected! We were able to take a look into your order and while the item is final sale, we can assist you further with looking into a discount. If you would send us a private message, we can provide further details. Sincerely, Julia.
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
