I ordered a customized shirt/jersey for a colleague who is retiring after 30 years in the U.S. Army. I made sure I selected & PAID FOR the 3-Day Shipping option. After contacting FedEx to ask why the parcel had not moved in two days, they explained it was shipped via "FedEx Smart Post" which is a 7 day shipping option. The lady at FedEx said "Oh, Fanatics... yeah they do this all the time".
So, now I have no gift to present at my friend's retirement to show my gratitude for his service. All because Fanatics cannot establish basic logistics processing. If there really are that many others who have had this issue with shipping, perhaps we should look into a class action suit. I assure you I will advise everyone I can to avoid this organization.
I simply ordered a T-shirt from this company on 5/20 and received an email confirmation. It's now been nearly 3 weeks since I placed my order so I tried to track my order. Their website didn't recognize my order# or email address so I opted for the live chat. Even after attaching and sending a copy of my order confirmation, they still were unable to help locate the order. Unbelievable! I would be very hesitant to place an order or give these people your credit card info.
Hello John, thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We would love a chance to make this right. If you will send us a private message with your order number and email address, we will be happy to make this right. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Ceterija.
I have been ordering merchandise online for many years, and NEVER once have I not been able to have the delivery company hold the package at their center for me to pick up... until TODAY when I was informed by both Fed Ex and Fanatics that Fanatics has an agreement that doesn't allow me this option. So, I guess they will just be refunding me my money since I will be working and not available to sign for my package at my apartment. This is ridiculous and extremely inconvenient.
Hello Kenneth. We are truly sorry that we are unable to have your package held. We understand the frustration this can caused. The package should still be delivered, per our contract with FedEx we do not require a signature for the package to be delivered. If you do not receive your package by June 09,2017, please do not hesitate to send us a private message, we are here to help. Sincerely, Cayla.
I purchased a shirt, hat, and other souvenirs from this company when the Patriots won the Super Bowl this year. I waited A LONG time for it to arrive. When it did - in three separate shipments - I couldn't believe the shoddy workmanship on one of the shirts and they gall they had to actually send it. The word "way" had a two-inch ink drip off the bottom of the letter "y" and a smaller one off the bottom of the "w". The top of the "y" was blurred/smudged. I wish that I could include a photo.
I emailed and called - no response. If I want to return this garbage shirt - they'll charge me $5.50 for the privilege. I have NEVER seen such unmitigated gall. This company is a ripoff, and you are wasting your money if you order from them.
Thanks for contacting us Charles!
We see you ordered the PRODUCT ID: 2693661 New England Patriots NFL Pro Line by Fanatics Branded Super Bowl LI Champions Local Way Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Red. This shirt is designed this way to simulated spray painted letters and was advertised this way online. We apologize for any confusion. Please private message us, we can provide further details.
Thanks, Jacques
They don't provide any shipping options, but ship everything FedEx. They don't tell you it's a 10-day shipping process (since when is FedEx so slow?). I ordered gear for a graduation party that was a week away, expecting delivery within a few days. Their online tracking system is not helpful, and their chat and phone customer service functions are designed to continuously kick you out so you have to start over and never get anywhere. I discovered that returns work the same way -- good luck getting satisfaction from this customer-unfriendly organization!

These people are an absolute joke of an opperation. How any major sport affiliate would associate their name with Fanatics is beyond me. Terrible customer service! They lie about the shipping costs and promissed delivery dates. I will never be using them or NBA Store again. Brick-and-mortar for me. Do not use this website!
Hello Leonard, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We are currently reviewing your order and would like to further discuss this with you. We ask that you please send us a private message to discuss your order. Thanks, Ceterija

I usually do my homework when something looks to good to be true but I wanted to get a jump on the order being that my team is in the Stanley cup and the 1st home game kids Saturday. After completing my order they were quick to deduct funds from my account but failed to send even a email confirmation with shipping information. Feeling very uneasy after now reading all the negative reviews.

Ordered a shirt on Friday May 19. Said ships the next business day. By Thursday FedEx tracking only said shipping label printed. Got a hold of Fanatics customer service who said it was in transit and was still within the 5 day shipping window. Checked the site an hour later to discover item had shipped only after the guy lied to me and said it was on its way. This group is the distributor linked to MLB and NFL shops. I think they need to find somebody else.
Hello Bob. We would like to express our sincerest apologies. Upon review, we do see where the confusion happened with the agent. The label was in fact created on 5/19. Unfortunately, the package was not picked up until 5/25. We can completely understand your frustration in this situation and again we are sorry for any frustration this has caused you. We have gone ahead and refunded your shipping cost for this inconvenience. Please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect back on the form of payment that was used at checkout. Sincerely, Cayla
Specifically ordered from Fanatics on 5/22/17 to get an order within 3 days(5/26/17. Spent an extra $5 to get their free 3 day shipping if spent over $30. ON 5/26/17, the day that they Guaranteed delivery, I got on to chat with someone there about how my item wasn't going to be here in time and got a completely rude agent who just argued that I was wrong. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Will be returning my item and never shopping with them again.

Won't be using fanatics anymore. They messed up my order a few months ago. After several calls finally got it straight. Supervisor gave me $20 worth if fan cash to use. Went to make an order recently and noticed fancash was gone. Called and asked why, was told it had expired. Why does it expire you messed up not me. Asked for supervisor but always got excuse they were unavailable every time I called. All 4-5 times. Obviously they didn't want to deal with it. Not my fault you screwed up my order. Fancash given for that should never expire. I was told by operator that fancash was going away anyway. Probably because they were giving it out to much for all their screw ups. There are other sites to do my shopping from. Fanatics can you know what!
Hello Shawn. We are truly sorry that your Fan Cash has expired. We would love to get this taken care of for you. Can you please send us a private message with either your order number or the email address your account is under. Thanks, Cayla
I normally do not write reviews even if my product does not come as planned I don't write bad reviews but since I paid for extra shipping to have a guaranteed on time and stressed multiple times I needed this on time when placing the order, I am writing this review. I placed an order for a college t-shirt for my daughters graduation. I placed the order online completed the whole process and provided payment info. Submitted it and screen kicked me out with no conformation. Called company placed order again the same day by phone paid 15.95 for 2 day shipping. Order placed Monday with two day processing suppose to ship Wednesday. Called customer service Wednesday because I never received a confirmation email from placing my order or a shipping confirmation. Was told that my email address was put in the computer wrong and that he had corrected it and was sending me a new confirmation by email. As of Thursday still have not received confirmation letter, tracked the order online still shows that there's no such order in their system. Called once again to be told that the order has shipped and I will receive it Tuesday of the following week which would be seven business days to receive my order that was supposed to come in two business days. Since my order had already shipped they would only refund be part of the shipping that was to get my order here by Friday this does not help me at all. Now I'm paying for a T-shirt that I have no use for after the fact for graduation. Will not be purchasing anything from this site ever again.

Can you please send us a private message with the full name on the order, billing address and email address that was used on the order. Thanks, Cayla
I wish I had read reviews before ordering. I ordered in plenty of time for my grandson's birthday, but his birthday has come and gone and still no package has come. I tracked package and it said it came from Florida to Kansas by FedEx, and then would come to Iowa by mail. What? Since when do they do that? Doesn't even make sense. So I'm still waiting...
Hello Mary. Thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you have not yet received your package. Please provide your order number as the order number provided above is not our order number. Once I have your order number for Fanatics I will be more than happy to assist you in any way possible. Sincerely, Karmen H.

Paid $25 for next day delivery and they only sent 1/2 the order next day the other 1/2 regular snail mail requested a refund for shipping and they said no.
Do your self a favor and order your stuff somewhere else!
Hello BrownChicka. Thank you for leaving your feedback. We are sincerely sorry that you did not get your item in the time-frame needed.

Please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect back on the form of payment that was used at checkout. If we can do anything to help further please do not hesitate to send us a private message. Thanks, Cayla
I should have made a research about this site before placing an order. They are really fast when it comes to charging your credit card but it takes forever before shipping your order. I'm starting to get worried I might not get the right order or not get it on time.
Hello Arcy. Thank you for your feedback! I apologize for any inconvenience regarding the order you placed with us. Unfortunately, there was a very slight delay with your order being shipped. I am sorry for the delay. I see that you contacted us today to have your order cancelled, so please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. Sincerely, Karmen H.
As you can see from my previous review they say they will 'reach out' to me to find a resolution. Well nearly a week later and surprise, surprise not a word. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY.
Hello Martin, thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry that your return was rejected and without adequate information as to why. We have reached out to our Returns department to see if we can gather more information regarding your return to determine the best way to move forward. Once we receive a response we will reach back out to you to work together on a resolution to this issue. Thanks again, we look forward to speaking with you soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
Fanatics is absolutely horrible. What kind of unintelligent people do they hire/allow to work here? I ordered a basketball jersey. They sent me a hat for a hockey team. The paper they sent with the item said it was a basketball jersey in about three different spots and said NBA STORE in like five different spots. While trying to have the right item sent to me some idiotic person had a jersey which I ordered a couple months ago sent to me. After talking to another person the very next day I was told that the jersey I ordered in the first place is now out of stock and they will provide me with a refund. Worst workers/serivices I have ever experienced.

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
Hello Thomas, we apologize for the shipping delay of your order. For this inconvenience, we have processed a discounted refund for your order. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to reflect. Again, we truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you, Ceterija
