This horrible company robbbed me for $40 for a t shirt. I returned the shirt because it was too small only to get an email saying it was non returnable and that they donated it to charity. After an hour on the phone with customer service they would not give me an exchange, refund or credit. THEY WOULDNT EVEN GIVE ME THE ORIGINAL ITEM BACK! PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE THIEFS.
I ordered 2 hats on 8/15.One came 10 days later and no 2nd hat.The other hat was going to be shipped from a different area. 9/8 a text came stated they still couldn't get the hat. Finally on 10/ 9 I filed a claim with paypal.The hat shows up at my door 3 days later. Dont do business with this company!
Hello Gary, we are very sorry for the item being delivered late. The item was delayed until 10/31, however, it was shipped out as soon as we received it. For the inconvenience, we have processed a 10% refund of the total and ask that you allow 2-7 business days for that credit to reflect. We hope this helps. Thank you, Chastity
I ordered twice from Fanatics in the last 3 weeks. The first time, after receiving my receipt via email, I immediately noticed I had been charged $13.99 for shipping( 1 tshirt) when it should have been $4.99. After sending an email they did credit me the $9.00. I did not receive the item but once I called they did "reship" it. I received in a couple of days.
I ordered again today, but this time after placing the order I took a screenshot of the receipt which said $4.99 shipping. When I received my receipt via email I again was charge $13.99. Once again they did refund it after I contacted them, but I feel this is dishonest and will not order again. I can understand a mistake once but not twice in a couple weeks. I am hoping I receive my package without issue this time.
Hello Shelly. Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for any inconvenience regarding your orders. Please be advised for future ordering that the Expedited Ground shipping method is automatically marked on the website and you have to un-mark the option if you want the standard ground shipping. In each case we not only refunded the extra charges, but we left the shipping method at Expedited ground shipping for the inconvenience. Again, I am very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a high end Nike shirt for about 60 dollars. When my order arrived they sent a cheap fanatics brand yellow shirt that was worth far less. When I tried to contact them I had difficulty reaching anyone thru the chat system which appears to be the only way to reach them. When they finally responded it was very slow and the person seemed to not grasp the gravity of having substituted an inferior product and charging for the higher priced item. The only way to get my money back was to return the item to get a refund. This shirt was not worth returning. They did agree not to charge the return fee and told me I would receive a full refund. I asked to speak with a manager and when he failed to grasp the situation I asked to speak with someone else and was told I could not and he hung up on me. I intend to inform the consumer affairs division of my states attorney Generals office of this matter. Substituting a cheap product when you buy something else is simply not ethical. I have purchased from them before but no longer feel that they are honest in their business practices. I hope I get my money back.

If you do not want to provide your order number her, you can send it to customerfirst@fanatics.com. Sincerely, Karmen
I was promised 2 day shipping on regular merchandise. Now it wI'll be over a week. Will receive a week after needed. Customer service doesn't care & can't help. Call for return after items ate received. Can't do anything about it now. THEY DON'T CARE! Regular mdse not even personalised. I called & placed my order... useless!
Hello Juli. Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry for any inconvenience regarding your order. However, your order was shipped according to the shipping method chosen when you placed your order, which was our free Standard Ground shipping and that takes 3-7 business days for delivery. We do not have any notes in your order regarding a promise of 2 business day shipping. I apologize that you will not be receiving your packages when you needed them. For the inconvenience this has caused, I have issued a 20% refund, in the amount of $15.20, that will post back to the original form of payment within 2-7 business days. Sincerely, Karmen
If you are on a timeline and hope to receive your purchase containing personalized items within a reasonable amount of time... don't bother. Slowest shipping I have ever encountered. I always order size XL for all of my shirts/jackets. Sweatshirt is snug and tight around neck. Not great quality either. Live and learn folks!
Hello Ron, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. If you will, please send us a private message. We would like the chance to look at this further and completely resolve this for you. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Ceterija
Item left their facility 10 full days after I purchased. After sending an email stating if the item hadnt shipped, to cancel order, they initiated shipment that day and sent it anyway. Had my alumnis team coming into town to play a local team and I intentionally ordered the item early so it would be here so I could wear to the game. The game was Saturday and the shipment showed up Sunday morning. Extremely unhappy with this crap and now I have to deal with a return (the auto return label WAS NOT included in the shipment), perfect.
Hello J. B., Thank you for your feedback!
I would like to look into your situation further. If I could please have you email your order number to customerfirst@fanatics.com, I would be more than happy to further assist you regarding the return process.
Sincerely,

Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.

Horrible customer service. The company takes my money but does not ship the merchandise. Never will order again and will be sure to let others know. Now I'm having a hard time trying to get my money back.
Kim, we are very sorry for the inconvenience you have been caused. We do see there was a system error where the order was not fully processed and the payment was not captured. We understand how frustrating this can be and would like to assist you further. Please send us a message so we can provide you more of a resolution.
I purchased a sweatshirt for $54.99 and have had it for 5 weeks. I have worn it 3 times. It is coming apart at the seams and this so-called reputable company will NOT return or exchange it. I was laughed at by the customer service rep. This is a company that cannot stand behind the quality of the product that they sell. I am SO disappointed! Buyer Beware!
Sarah, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics.We would love a chance to make this right. Please send us a private message with the order number so that we can review the order for you. We look forward to speaking to you soon! Sincerely, Dariana B.
I ordered a jersey for my nephew. They processed my payment and the money came out of my bank. Now 4 days after my order, I check the status and it says refund. They took my money and said my payment was declined. Well, obviously not because the money is gone. I received ZERO notifications. I spoke to two people on the online customer service chat who disconnected when I started asking about the money. I called and spoke with a women at length who said she would put in a ticket. She refused to let me speak to a supervisor. She said I might receive a refund, but that the payment never went through when my bank says otherwise. I shop online often and have never had this kind of issue. Now, I'm out $85.57. I'm very angry and I will tell everyone to stay far far away.
That's not the experience we want for you, Courtney. You should have not been refused a supervisor. We will continue to improve our customer service. We do see that a ticket request was submitted regarding the refund. Your issue number is 1604580. You will be contacted via email within 2-3 business days. We hope that we have the chance to correct this. Sincerely, Dariana B.
I ordered a NCAA T-Shirt and the front imprint was waaay off center. They denied the return because they claim there was "white stuff" on it. What does that mean? It will be my life's work to slam them at every opportunity I get. Oh ya did I mention that the quality sucked too?
The shirt cant be resold anyway! I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN!
Hello Arthur, Thank you for your feedback!
I am sorry you were not refunded for the defective item. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon further review, the item was returned with deodorant stains and other white stuff on it. Our warehouse inspects items as they return to see if they are in the same condition as it was shipped.
As an one time courtesy, I have refunded you back $21.99 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 you.
Sincerely,
Julian
I wish i would have read the reviews prior to making my purchase. I ordered a shirt through Fanatics and although it said it would ship in 1 business day, its status has been stuck on "label created." Meaning it hasn't been shipped. This was supposed to be a gift but now I don't even now if it will make it in time to me. I didn't expect overnight shipping but after all the reviews and my personal experience, i don't think i will be ordering again. Oh and the rep i spoke to on their live chat was absolutely no help. Whatsoever
Hello Andrea, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! The processing time frame of your item was one business day. However your shipping method is 3-7 business days. Your package should arrive no later than Friday, October 13,2017. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can help you further. Thanks, Dariana B.
Terrible customer service! I ordered a shirt on 9/7/17 and never received it and then paid for one day shipping as well my total is $42 and I have never received my package. They said originally that I canceled my package now theyre saying they left it at my door which is impossible cause I live in an apartment building they cant do that. So now theyre trying to not give me my refund! This is the worst experience I have ever had with a company. The only way to contact anyone was threw Facebook messenger which was very frustrating. I highly recommend you save yourself the head ache and not order from this company.
Hello Brandy, Thank you for your feedback!
I am sorry the package didn't arrive as expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction.

It's taken over two weeks to get a t-shirt. The shirts are crazy expensive... and on one of the shirts I ordered, they didn't have a view of the back... it said "new york" on the front and that's all I want... when it arrived there was a big yankees logo on the back. I took a screen shot of the page from their website showing there were no other photos but when I emailed to complain, they led me to a "clearance" page where there was additional photos. I have a screen shot of no back photos. Still cost me $5.50 to send it back. No offer to wipe that fee out even though I sent the jpg of the screen shot showing no additional photos of the back of the shirt. I'll never do business with them again. Heck, even if you buy the same shirt for the same price on Amazon, you get it the next day or two.
Hello Gary, Thank you for your feedback!
I am very sorry that the short was not what was expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have waived the return label fee of $5.50 to send by USPS. We try to do our best to provide the most descriptive portraits of the item that is offered on our website.
Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Julian
I ordered one item over a week ago. The next day I received an email that it had shipped but when I try to track the package, it just shows label created. That stupid label has been created for over a week! So, I go to their site to chat with customer service and the rep was a sorry, smug excuse maker. No apologies, no explanations. I told her I wanted the tracking details and she told me to look them up. Hello?!?! Thats why Im calling you because all I see is label created. After reminding her of that little fact, she finally chats back that itll be here this Friday evening. Really? They shipped it or, created the label, over a week ago, and its not going to be here for another 2 Days? Its shipping from Florida to North Carolina for crying out loud. Via FED EX! Are you kidding me? It should have been here within 3 days. Her response was it I wanted it sooner, I should have paid for faster shipping and she suggests I do that next time. Next time? There wont be a freaking next time! Between the sorriest shipping policies and their smug customer service you better believe I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN! They need to be shut down and put out of business!
DO NOT ORDER from them!
Hello Leigha, Thank you for your feedback!
I apologize that the package hasn't arrived. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The original shipping fee of $4.99 was 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.
I have reshipped the item next business days at no additional cost to you. Once a label has been created, you will receive a separate shipping confirmation email.
Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Julian
We paid for 3day shipping, well here it is a week later and still haven't received but 1 of the 2 items. I called customer service and was told the 3 day shipping starts after processing which took several days. They will charge you for expedited service, but you receive regular services! Ppl please keep your coins when it comes to these crooks!
Hello Sherekia, Thank you for your feedback!
I am very sorry that the item wasn't shipped as you anticipated. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. On our website, we try to inform customer that demand made items will take 3 business days to process. Depending on the shipping method chosen, it will arrive 3 business days thereafter. Your order was placed on 9/25/2017 and shipped 9/28/2017. The package is on schedule to arrive by 10/3/2017.
Once again, I apologize by any frustration this may have caused you.

Julian
Ive used fanatics for years but I think this is my last time. Shipping times are incredibly long especially when shipping is not free. I am in Atlanta and the items are shipping from Jacksonville, FL. At most this should take only a couple of days when using ground shipping or USPS. It takes a full 7 days... thats the same as if it was shipping from CA. What makes it worse is that it appears the package is almost purposely delayed for using cheap shipping (not free but cheaper shipping... $5). It sat in the Fanatics warehouse for a day before a label was printed, then waited another day for it to be picked up, then sat locally for another day... In the end it will just be easier and cheaper to buy locally. They only win if they get your money.
As you can see by the negative reviews regarding shipping I am not alone.
So again for the recap, if you want to overpay for shipping and have it take longer than it ever should to arrive, please feel free to use fanatics.
Hello James, Thank you for your feedback!
I am very sorry about the shipping timeframe. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, the package was completed the same day the order was placed on 9/26/2017. As mention on our website, it takes one business day for packages to be processed. Packages are picked up by FedEx at the end of the day or the next following business day and sent to their sorting facility. The shipping method chosen was FedEx smartpost, which can take up to three to seven business days to be delivered. As the package arrives in your city and state, it is sent to the USPS to make the final delivery. This package will arrive short of the seven business and will be delivered on 10/3/2017. Our site also offers expedited shipping to have package arrive at an early timeframe.
Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Julian
This is unacceptable. I want a call back from a manager ASAP. I was just on hold for 15 minutes trying to speak to someone about this ridiculous return policy. You took something I bought, decided it was unacceptable and rather than sending back my item you donated it to charity? Are you kidding me? Because of a dog hair!

I ordered a New Orleans Saints jersey from this ridiculous website as if I didn't learn my lesson the first time. Needless to say, the jersey is nowhere near black and gold, it's black and beige. I compared it to my jersey purchased from NFLShop.com and the quality is that of a swap meet. I called customer service and they said if I was to return the jersey, they deduct the 5.50 from my return credit. WHY do they charge you for THEIR disgusting merchandise and horrible service. I want my full refund back like now. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE. No matter what sales they have going on. This is beyond ridiculous and for the life of me I don't understand how they're still in business
Hello Serena, Thanks you for your feedback!
I am very sorry that the jersey was not to your likings. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The return label fee of $5.50 was waived and can be returned by any local post office. I have emailed you a return label to use for item. Please check your junk or spam email for the label if not in your inbox.
Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.

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
