Orders take forever, by the time I get the Jersey I ordered for my sons birthday the player will have been traded or my son will have outgrown it! Even though I called last week and was told item shipped after waiting 4 weeks, today I received an email that order is delayed, with no estimated time frame. When I called no one could give me any idea of timeframe and no apologies for the misinformation or delays. This site is the worst service ever!
I received the wrong item, not once but TWICE. Had to return both times. They expect you to return items when it was THEIR mistake. Don't take into account time and trips to P. O. Item was out of stock. Now I get an e-mail saying no refund because another item was shipped. UGH! I could scream. The more I try to fix their mistakes the worse they get. The need to take some lessons from other Companies about good customer service.
Hello Kathy, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. Upon reviewing we see only one item was returned. Did you return both items at the same time or separate? Thanks, Brandon.
Called to check on my order that I placed on 10/17/2017 provided them with the order # that I received from Fanatics confirmation email and no one could find my order or give me any information about my order. In speaking with customer service through the chat application it was a complete waste of my time. The gentleman gave up and said I would need to call and speak with someone regarding my issue. I called customer support and the lady answered and was short and no help at all she stated sorry I can't find your order not sure what is going on. I'll create a ticket and someone will get back with you. She gave me an excuse that this is a busy time and there is an influx of orders due to the World Series. All in all terrible customer experience I will never order anything through Fanatics again.
Would like to review this order with you. Can you please update your review with your order number? The order number provided is either missing a number or too many numbers.
Without exaggeration, my dealings with Fanatics have been the worst customer experience I have had with any company! They created an issue with an order that I tried placing, cancelled the order without telling me, and now refuse (or are just too inept) to fix it--I have never had the experience of begging to buy from a company, yet have them do nothing about fixing their own error. I will take the hint and take my business elsewhere...
Hello Kenye, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. Please contact customer service and ask to speak to Fan Protection so they may review your order so this does not happen again. Again we apologize for the inconvenience.
Purchased a Notre Dam women Jersey for a birthday present. Was wrong size and ordered a correct size. Tags were not removed and was never tried on... They stated it had makeup on it. When I received it it looked horrible to begin with (must have had makeup on it then). Not ever going to purchase from you again and will advertise to friends to avoid also.
Hello Todd, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. We have processed a refund for the item. Please allow 2-7 business days for refund to process. Again we do apologize for the inconvenience.
Stay away from this company, they charge huge amounts to return items and then only refund for customer gift credit. Shady operation. BUYER BEWARE, this company isn't customer friendly. Thieves!
Hello FAN, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. We see you returned 302335 Pittsburgh Steelers Black Art-Glass Switch Plate Cover. It states all returns has a $5.50 fee.
I ordered a shorts just now but I didnt received any confirmation email? I've seen some bad reviews regarding to my case.
When I insert the order# into track order it shows "Your order could not be found. Please check that you've entered the order number correctly."
Seriously? Payment has been made in a second but processing takes forever?
*Updated*
Chastity responded to me and it showed the shipping label has been created on the same day but not shipped yet. Will look forward and update the event. 5 stars will be given If I got it on expected delivery date. Thanks Chastity!
***LATEST UPDATE****
I received my parcel on time and it looks great! I am happy with the service! Thumbs up. Thank you very much! =D
Upon reviewing we do see the order for the 2698500 Men's Nike Royal Duke Blue Devils Practice Performance Shorts. You checked out as a guest is the reason you did not receive an confirmation email. Your order shipped out today 10/25/2017 and scheduled to be delivered no later than 11/2/2017.
I ordered two shirts and paid extra for 3 day shipping so the shirts would arrive before we left for Houston to see the Astros play in the World Series. Guess what? The estimated delivery was after we leave. Customer service could only refund the extra shipping cost and said to ship the items back and they would waive the return fees. Doesn't help me, I bought the shirts for a reason. Now I have to wait for a refund after I ship the items back. I WILL NOT be doing business with Fanatics again. Total inconvenience!
Hello FAN, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. Upon reviewing we see you placed your order Sunday October 22,2017 with 3 business day shipping method. It states on the website that each item will ship within one business day. The processing time frame does not change the shipping method. Your shipping method only applies after the processing time frame. Your order states it will arrive 10/26/2017. That is 3 days for the day your item shipped meaning your tracking information is correct.
I ordered a Falcons shirt and cut the tags to try it on. I returned to exchange the shirt for a larger size and their customer support said it was donated and will not refund the amount. Will never use this website again for any business.
Hello Jeff. We apologize for the inconvenience of the item being donated. We will process the refund for you. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to reflect. Please accept our most sincere apologies. Thank you, Dariana B.
Ordered five (5) shirts for my son. I requested that the order be shipped to the FedEx office located at the university he attends and noted my son's university's student ID number on the order. Order and payment was confirmed from Fanatics via email.
I told my kid the order (his birthday gift) was placed
And that he should receive the order soon. The next morning I wanted to confirm the shipping address as the confirmation Fanatics sent to me via email did not have his student ID # on it. After being placed on hold I was directed to Fanatics "fraud" department and was told that Fanatics unilaterally cancelled my order. The Fanatics representative indicated that based on their experience a lot of fraud occurs when shipping merchandise to universities.
Here is my issue. If Fanatics will not ship to a certain address, their electronic purchase interface should NOT let the order be placed. Additionally, if Fanatics does let the order through, like they did with me, Fanatics should have confirmed the cancellation to me via email. I should not have to find this out by calling customer service regarding my order.
Essentially, Fanatics should not have accepted my order, nor billed my credit card, and should let customers know when it unilaterally cancels its customers orders.
Hello Jim, we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience. We have passed your experience along to the appropriate department and it is being looked into. We do see that you have been assisted with the order, we wanted to reach out to you and apologize immensely for the troubles you have encountered. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can help you further in anyway. Thanks, Dariana B.
I ordered a polo logo shirt from Fanatics over the phone--they were supposed to send it to my son in South Carolina; however, they shipped it directly to me. I called them when I received the shirt and asked them to either send him another shirt or credit a shipping fee that I would incur to send it to him. They said they could credit 4.99, but when they tried to process, it would not work in their system. As a result, there wasn't anything they could do. I asked him what he would suggest, no real answer. After I got frustrated, he put me on hold to ask his supervisor who said the only thing they can do is provide me 10% off my next order (it's in the notes!). Nothing to resolve this issue at all. HORRIBLE customer service (I have been in customer service for 30 years and cannot imagine handling customers this way). I am a past Fanatics customer but taking my business elsewhere.
Hello Katherine, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. Upon reviewing we see you did not pay for shipping is the reason were unable to refund your shipping fee. We have offered 10% off on your next order for the inconvenience.
Ordered a Houston Texans jersey and a Lions. Lions showed up late but it came, the Texans jersey did not. Been on their online chat and called three times. One guy told me it was out of stock and waiting to be shipped in two or three days (nothing), one told me the order was lost and they have to submit a ticket to investigate what happened and that i should hear from them within two business days(nothing happened). Toady marks 18 days since i placed my OVERNIGHT delivery order and today they told me they cant give a refund until i received the package and send it back. How can i send back what i dont have, i have filed a complaint with the FTC and will be sending a legal letter demanding my refund under the Federal Trace Commendation act. From witch time they have a set amount of time to give me my money so we will see.
Hello FAN, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. We have processed a refund for the lost item back to the original form of payment. Please allow 2-7 business days for refund to post depending on financial institution. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Brandon.
Ordered a womens Carolina Panthers T-shirt and received a mens Houston Astros T-shirt.
WTF
I placed my order on 10/6/17 and it just delivered today 10/19/17
This was supposed to be a birthday present for the 23th.
I didnt think it would take that long and I would receive the wrong product.
I will not do business with his company anymore.
Customer service claims I will get a replacement by the 23th and no charge for express shipping. Wow, how generous
They should discount my item for the inconvenience
Hello FAN, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. We have escalated this issue to the correct department to get this issue resolved. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Brandon.
Ordered 2 gift certificates on 10/9/17 for a birthday gift. Receipt shows purchase completed and gift certs would be emailed within 24 hours. 5 days later contacted company and was told anticketnwas opened and would hear from them within 72 hours.
After not hearing from anyone I sent email to customer service and was told ticket was there and we hadnt reach 72 hours yet. Now its been over 3 days and still nothing. Im hoping to get my money back if I can ever get someone to follow up.
Will not ever use this company again!
We are truly sorry that you have not received your gift certificate. The request has been reviewed and escalated to our gift certificate team. We do see that your refund has been processed. Depending on your financial institution it can take anywhere from 2-7 business days for the refund to post. Please let us know if we can assist any further.
I ordered a jerse from OSUfanatic.com that is a part of Fanatics. I ordered this jersey on 09/29/18 and the tracking number I was given is showing that my package was in china on 10/08/2018. First of all had no clue that my product was being shipped from China and I expected to have this for the Ohio State vs. Penn state game on 10/28. Whenever I email or try to reach out for an answer on when I will get jersey there is no way to get in touch with them and no response.
Would like to review this order with you. Can you please update your review with your order number?
I should have learned after the first time I ordered something from Fanatics and it never showed up and it took me over a month to get it resolved, but here I am again.
I ordered a jersey a month and a half before I needed it, it of course took forever to come which is just something I expect from this group so I figured I had plenty of time. The sizing guide suggested to order a size up for a looser fit which is what I like and of course the jersey looked like a dress on me, which is fine, sizing mistakes happen and that's no big deal.
This issue at hand is that I put this jersey in the mail to return on October 4th and after getting no updates from Fanatics from two weeks I reached out to a rep via chat and I'm being told I should have my refund by November 1st so I can buy my new jersey which will again take two weeks to ship unless I feel like paying more money for faster shipping. So many sites handle returns so smoothly and easily that this is just a huge disappointment. All I want is a credit to my account so I can get another jersey from them and knowing me I'd buy even more stuff from them for my team, but once this refund comes back I'll just take my business elsewhere. Fanatics is just too much of a pain to deal just to get clothes.
Hello Charles, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. Upon reviewing we see your return was refunded today 10/19/2017. We will also honor expedited shipping on your next order for the inconvenience. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Brandon.
Paid $100 for two t shirts and a long sleeve shirt. Shirts are all Nike and made of the cheapest cotton money can buy. Two of the shirts shrunk beyond belief from a cold wash and the other feels like the logo and lettering was ironed on by an amateur t shirt company working a center stand at the mall. I know Nike wouldnt produce such garbage, wouldnt surprise me if fanatics had some sweat shop somewhere making this crap
Hello Blake, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. Would you prefer a replacement of these items? Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Brandon.
The slowest shipping I've ever dealt with. Their website will tell you that the item will ship in one day... Not true... I got a notice the next day that the item wasn't in stock. Will never buy from them again... It took over 10 days to receive the item.
Hello Gordon, Thank you for your feedback!
I am very that the product wasn't shipped as you anticipated. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. On our website, we try to advise customer that it will take up to one business day to process the order to ship. It will then ship by whichever method that was chosen at checkout. A coupon code was applied for free standard shipping of 3- 7 business days. After the package was labeled, it was shipped using that shipping method.
Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have cause you.
Sincerely,
Julian
Shipping speed is ridiculously slow. I ordered 10/6 and scheduled delivery date is 10/27? Unbelievable
Hello Laura, Thank you for your feedback!
I am very sorry about the shipping delay. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have refunded you back the original shipping charge of $4.99 back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement.
Upon review, the is package was shipped out on 10/16/2017 and will be delivered by 10/26/2017.
Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Julian
After ordering and being told I would receive a jersey in 10 days, I was randomly shipped a different jersey(of a completely different player). Told my order was closed and I could return an item to be credited in 10 days. I asked why I was randomly shipped something that I never ordered, and was given no valid reason. I will never work with Fanatics again. 'Bait and switch' seems to be their 'go-to'.
Brad
Hello Brad, Thank you for your feedback!
I am very sorry that you received the wrong jersey. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon further review, the item you requested is no longer available in the size requested. I have refunded you back the original overnight shipping cost of $29.95 back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement.
A previous supervisor waived the $5.50 return label fee to send back the incorrect jersey. The item can be dropped off at any local post office in your area. Please allow ten business days for it reach our warehouse. Our warehouse has up to ten business days to process it as a refundable item.
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
