I'm an international customer in Australia, and i must say after reading a few reviews i was a bit nervous about my order. But 9 days after I ordered my jersey it has arrived, tracked all the way, exactly what I ordered. I cant even get something delivered within my own country that fast! Absolutely outstanding performance, I would definitely use again based on my experience. Thanks!

I have ordered several times over the years. I have been satisfied with every order so far! I have bought blankets, t shirts, hats, sweat shirts ect! I have had 1 item shipped incorrectly- i emailed them- they corrected my order and gave me a $10 credit! I have never called on the phone- i always email any questions and they respond within 1 day. Mistakes happen, humans error! Most of these negative comments seem to be over exaggerated! This is a great company- and i will continue to do business with them! All quality products and great service! Thank you!

I didn't even know a review site like this existed, but after another terrible experience with this merchandise dealer I had to see if I was being unreasonable, or if everyone else was having similar issues. I see that 695/866 reviews have given Fanatics 1 star! How does a company like that stay in business?

For me the issue has been the shipping - routinely. I paid $25 for a jersey to ship "next day" so I could have it in time for a tailgate-themed party. However, the confirmation tracking number says it will arrive in 5 days. Customer service said that next day shipping means that the package will be SENT OUT on the next day, not received. That's total crap. Who would pay $25 for 5 day shipping?!

I've also had other orders that have taken weeks to arrive. I don't know what the deal is with that, but between promising to delivery a service and not living up to it, combined with puzzlingly long shipping waits, I can't imagine using this site again.

Received Wrong Item
December 28, 2020

I ordered a Patriots Sweatshirt. Received it Xmas eve, just in time to wrap and put under the tree. I received an Eagles Jersey. I initiated a return for the Eagles Jersey but they did not give me an option to receive my original sweatshirt. Tried the "Chat with us" feature but its really just a bunch of automated tabs and nobody actually answers when you type a question. Tried to find a phone number on their site but got frustrated after searching for 15 minutes so I just gave up. Now the sweatshirt is $20 more expensive. I'm just going to return the random Eagles Lineman jersey and buy the sweatshirt somewhere else.

I purchased the last one, and paid the extra for shipping. Order was acknowledged and when I called up looking for an update after it should have been delivered, I found the order CANCELLED. No notification - nothing! After contacting customer service, to figure out the problem - they were all out of stock. Now my son is in tears. This totally sucks! Extremely poor communication!

Hello Graham, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the disappointing experience. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, the payment was never captured when the order was placed. Most times if the item hasn't shipped out it will be placed back into inventory. I attempted to see if there were any plans to restock this item. At this time there are no perceivable plans at this time. Please check our site periodically, as our site is updated daily. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

If you are in a hurry to get an order then use Amazon Prime or someone else. Ordered two World Series hats 30 minutes after my team won to get there. 2-days after the World Series was over they showed up after Fanatics longest stated shipping time-frame. I will never trust them again for any order. Now I am waiting for a Credit due to their poorly run Fulfillment center and customer service. Also, note that when the package showed up later when the Tracking said it was being returned to the merchant due to a wrong address (which was on the order correctly), I now have to drive 30 minutes to mail it back. Injury to insult... yes, I spoke to Cust. Serv. Twice and they were very insulting and not helpful.

The website is great but I've had tons of problems with the products they ship out. Clearly they don't do any quality control on returned items because twice I've received items that had clearly been used before (missing tags and/or food stains). Also, i have to keep ordering because they will only issue a refund in gift card format or you have to pay a large fee. Then they tack on handling fees on each order.

We ordered a nice Jazz Jersey for my son and he was thrilled with the look. After the first wash, the lettering started to peel off. Fanatics would not replace the item. Very disappointing for a 14-year old. I will never purchase from them again.

I placed an order on 4/16 and received a shipping confirmation on 4/17. I had a 3-7 business day shipping but it's been 3 weeks and I still haven't received my items. I called in and all the agent could do for me was say I don't know what happened, I'm just going to return your order. I didn't get any compensation for me waiting 3 weeks for nothing. If you don't have something in stock, why would you confirm it was shipped? I used to buy shirts and jerseys from Fanatics, I don't see how I can trust them ever again. I understand a day or two delay, but I waited weeks!

Hello Ted, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package was never received. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the package was labeled to ship on 4/17/2018. Unfortunately, the package was never scanned in at the shipping carrier facility to route it to your destination. Without knowing that the package was not being delivered, our company has no way of knowing if the customer received or hasn't received the package without them contacting customer service. The agent attempted to reship the item but the product was currently out of stock. The only alternative was to refund you for your order. They also offered you a discount on your next purchase. If you still would like that discount, please contact customer service for that offer. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Hello Alan, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the tracking of your order. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, at the time of contact the shipping confirmation was not updated to project estimated time of delivery. Because the standard shipping method was chosen, its going to take 3 to 7 business days to ship. The shipping information was not updated until after your contact. The package is scheduled to arrive by 5/5/2018. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian.

My item is on its way!
May 24, 2018
Updated review

I updated my review from 1 star to 3 stars since i finally received an email that my shirt is on its way. Funny thing is our team just got put out of the Stanley Cup last night so will have the shirt for next season.

I updated my rating since Chastity from Fanatics went out of her way to explain the issues with the warehouse and why our item was so delayed. It would be nice if Fanatics did this without my writing a bad review first but glad somebody acknowledged the issues I have had with this shirt. I will give Fanatics another chance next time i order something and hopefully will never encounter a 3-4 week delay again!

I ordered a NHL shirt for my husband's birthday more than 2 weeks ago and it stated shipping within 24 hours so expected it within the week. His team has played many times since then however i was not concerned as long as it was here before his birthday party (which is tonight). I called twice this week and even spoke to a supervisor who stated the shirt has been delayed and they cannot tell me why and also cannot tell me when it will arrive. So our team plays tonight, his party is tonight, and it still is not even showing as shipped yet. They wouldn't even give me a discount on the shirt for my troubles. Horrible customer service. I will never order from them again! Wasted too much of my time calling them to find out absolutely no information.

They can't even call anybody to find out where the shirt is and why it's not being delivered. Horrible!

No information
September 28, 2017

I ordered two shirts, nothing special on 9/18/17, the website said that they were both in stock, ten days later the status still says new with no tracking number and an email saying that my ordered has been delayed. No details have been given to me regarding why the order was delayed. Its upsetting because licensed gear is expensive and I still do not have my product or any information regarding it.

Hello Blake, Thanks for your feedback!

I am very sorry that your order is delayed. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the warehouse that your order is shipping has had a system issue which prolonged packages from leaving the warehouse. They have since fixed the problem and are currently shipping items out. Once a label has been created, you will receive an email with the shipping confirmation.

Once again, I apologize for the miscommunication you may have received when you contacted us previously.

Sincerely,
Julian

Bought two hoodies for $65 each and I ordered them a size larger just to be safe. The hoodies just barely fit and the quality is laughable. It looks like they took the cheapest sweatshirt they could find and crudely ironed on the team name and logo. It just seems like this is something you would get from a place like Wish or one of those other sites that send cheap crap that is not as advertised. Unfortunately I've been bit twice now by this company, I tried to return a World Series champions sweatshirt that had the wrong team on it, I sent it and was never refunded to this day.

Hello Nate, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the quality of the sweatshirts. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, it shows that you have already generated the return shipping label. You can print out the label and have it attached to the package. I have waived the return shipping fee. The package can be dropped off at any local post office or FedEx store. It can take up to 10 business days to receive and process your return. You will receive a confirmation email. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any returns from 2018 that was received or refunded. Our would had to had been notified of any lost returned items within 90 days of the return if you have not received the refund. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.

We ordered a woman's large customized sweatshirt. It was obviously printed on a child's large. I tried to return it and explained my story. They didn't care, as it's their policy not to refund customized orders. How about getting the order right? Then, they explained that they give these wrong customized orders to charity. Bravo! I lose $50 and they get a tax write-off. What a great deal. I will never order through this company again. Too bad they don't have zero stars. From the looks of other experiences, Fanatics would rank about a 0.5/5 stars.

Have ordered several things from Fanatics and each one has been absolutely terrible. The quality of the materials are cheap and flimsy. The screen printing is very poorly done And the items are way overpriced. It's really disappointing since they have seemed to take over all the merchandising for major sports. I will NEVER buy anything from them ever again.

First I want to say this site jabber website is complete garbage fix your website. This is the third time I'm typing this cuz this website crashes everytime I hit submit. Here I am working with two $#*!ty websites. Fanatics shipping is my main problem. Not one time has my package arrived on time. Don't blame Christmas either cuz every order I've placed does the same damn thing. I live in the states by the way. Should only take at most 2 weeks. Maybe use better shipping partners?! If I do not receive this order my the lions first playoff game this year then I'm returning every single item I've purchased in the last 365 days. Beyond frustrated with the website. This is going to be my last purchase from this place.

Where's my order?

My order was placed almost a month ago. I have received several emails saying the delivery is delayed. A chat with customer service offered to refund my shipping $4.99. A weak later that has not happened. I am waiting this out but would not recommend this company for anyone.

Good Afternoon Eric, we have reviewed over the order and show it is scheduled to be shipped out by the end of the business day tomorrow. We issued a refund of the shipping back to the original form of payment and ask that you allow 2 to 7 business days for the credit to post. Additionally, we expedited the shipping to overnight express, and once shipped it will arrive within the next business day. We are truly and deeply sorry you experienced this with us and want you to reach out to us directly whenever these kinds of issues arise. We can be contacted via email at customerfirst@fanatics.com or 24/7 via social media. Thank you, Deannaa.
