Always on Backorder!
December 12, 2020

When you place an order, they never tell you them item is not in stock. I ordered 2 Derek Jeter Yankees shirts and it took 6 months to receive them! I tried again to order a Christmas present... which will be delivered after January 15,2021! This is unacceptable!

I'm big on online purchases and haven't really had any issues with orders not being received until I ordered something on Fanatics. I placed my order on 9/28 and have yet to get a status change from 'NEW' on their site. I've reached out to customer support multiple times, and they respond every time with ''At this time, we have not received a shipping date for your order." or "We do not have an estimated timeframe for when your order will ship from our warehouse and we appreciate your patience as we work through this process."

I ordered 6 items that were on sale and for some reason, the next day i received this email:
Unfortunately we were unable to verify your order with the information provided and your order has been cancelled. The payment has not been processed. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
When i tried to log back in... it always said i was unable to. I even requested to change me password and no emails were sent to my account. So now everything is full price and could have ordered from somewhere else. What a terrible company for doing this.

I'm not sure why all the major leagues and college teams are going through fanatics, they are the WORST company ever to order from. I still have yet to receive my refund from them (that order was placed in may of 2017) even though they gave the account numbers to my bank, but my bank says no transaction was processed. It looks like i have lost 70 dollars. I would buy from somewhere else other than this company. Better Business Bureau... Na far from it.

I am very sorry that you still have not seen the refund applied into your bank account. I have requested for additional information for you to provide your bank to locate those funds. Once I have gotten a response, I will send the information by email.

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

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!

Buyer Beware
July 10, 2020

Placed an order 2 months ago and have not heard a word on any progress or estimated delivery. I call the phone number available to cancel and after 10 minutes I was told it had shipped where I knew it had not. Minutes later after making me wait, miraculously my order could be cancelled for a full refund. We'll see if that ever happens. If I don't get my refund in 7 days I will get PayPal involved.

You won't get a full refund
December 30, 2022

If you don't like the item, you won't get a full refund. Their customer service rep assured me I would get a full refund including shipping fees ($4.99), just not handling fees ($1.99) prior to returning the item. Upon return of the item, I only got a partial refund. I paid $51.91 & got $35 back. After speaking to a different customer service rep, she issued another $9.99 refund (to cover shipping the item back costs, which I was never informed I would be responsible for. I was told to use the free shipping label they provided), but I still never got my full refund as promised. Good luck if you purchase from here. Hopefully you like the item & don't need to make any returns. The item that was delivered to me felt like a $5 Walmart sweatshirt with a label sewn on.

Placed an order for some UF gear in the middle of September. It was supposed to be for my daughters birthday which is in a few days. I can understand the hurricane causing some problems but my order was placed three weeks prior. Customer service can't tell me where my order is or when it will ship. I was given a phone # for corporate that nobody is answering. Online chat is not working. You can't cancel the order. My credit card has been charged where is my order? It's one thing to be slow but keeping us all in the dark just makes it worse.

2nd rude problem
March 16, 2020

My first complaint was a couple of years ago, when I paid for advance delivery guaranteed before the day... no major weather... no notice in a delay. I ordered for my mom and she didn't receive it before the game. I contacted them part and they replied... this will be the on and only time they would refund my urgent shipping (are you effing kidding me) I should of known. Returning one item is a cost of 9.99. I am dead set and will never order from them again.

We apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. As a one time only courtesy we have waived the return fees on this order. Please be advised that the return fees have been waived on our end but will still show on the return label as we do not have a way to remove that information. The return label is pre-paid. You will not be charged to use it and we will not deduct the return fee from your refund. We also want to let you know you are not required to use our pre-paid return label to return your items.

I've ordered quite a few things off of Fanatics and never had any issues. There is plenty to choose from for my teams and navigating the site is pretty easy. Checkout is a breeze as well. I'll continue to shop here as it's a great store.

If I could I would rate 0 stars. Had a two part order received 1/2 and the second never even went en route. I had contacted customer service on different occasions to resolve this. Had they actually helped I would have a different review. May have been annoyed in general but understanding. On their policies they promote a 365 day return if not worn or used and has original tag on it. However the "department" in charge of reviewing refunds decline and actions and now no one can do any "action" to resolve this. I was informed after all this time that claims on items never even received are non-refundable after 90 days. Nice to know that if I don't like it or won't I have a year to send it back. If I never get what I paid for then they will process it as if they will solve the issue and keep your money

SMALL
December 22, 2023

I ordered a football jersey for an 8 year old boy. $106. Right? I looked at the sizing chart & got a youth medium. Wow is it small. They need to redo their size chart. They post no reviews on the site so you can't tell from others who have purchased it that it runs way small. Wonder why there are no reviews on the site. Hmmm. Do better

Order supposed shipped in Nov/17. Never arrived. Item not even sent despite being told repeatedly that it will arrive before Christmas. I am now waiting for my refund. Not very confident that I will receive it as promised. In which case, I will have to file a dispute with the credit card company. Based on the reviews here, I am just one of many who had the same bad experience. This is the worst shopping experience I had. Very disappointed.

Hello Cecilia, thank you for your feedback! I am terribly sorry that the item never arrived for your nephew birthday. It is never our intent to wait so long to resolve a customer issue. The way it should've been handle was to have it reshipped and possible even overnighted to you. I do see that we were able to refund you for the lost package. In the future, if you ever wish to shop with us, please send an email to customerfirst@fanatics.com so we can place the order for you over the phone. I would like to offer you a percentage off your next order and upgrade the shipping. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Took the tags off and pre-washed cold and dried low. Shrank badly, making the zipper look like a snake, and having a big bulge when zipped up. Would not allow returns. Look above pouch on picture supplied.

I ordered a mesh, trucker style hat recently that was a Fanatics branded item that I was really disappointed in for the quality. The mesh part feels like fishing line and is bright white that bends oddly. The front of the hat is very creased and doesn't fit right when wearing along with an oversized logo. I ordered a very similar hat from Fanatics but a New Era brand and it was great. Their ordering experience is easy and shipping is fast but the branded products are not worth it in my opinion. Worse is now I have a $9.99 return fee to send this back, even when I bought a new item.

Hello Stephen, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you were disappointed with the hat. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have waived the return shipping fee. You can print out the label and attach it to the package. 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. You will receive a confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE
November 20, 2020

I ordered items and multiple packages came in with an empty box. I filed a ticket regarding this on 10/12/2020 and was told that it will be finished reviewing within 3 to 5 business days. I wanted to return the items that I actually received but when I try to login my account is locked. The customer service refuses to unlock my account as well as continuously put me on hold and tell me that there's nothing they could do. The ticket is still not resolved and they just say it's under review.

You know it's bad when Fanatics "manages" their Google reviews to only have positive reviews all written the same way! My experience trying to get the perfect gift ended up as a nightmare on this site and their third party customer service. I got different stories from customer service and met with dead ends when trying to reach a resolution. I've never been treated so rudely by customer service over a promo code on their website. I've got screen shots and a call recording of all the dishonesty they pulled over a lousy $8.00. Fanatics has lost me and everyone I know as a customer.

I ordered some Texas Rangers pants for my wife on April 5th. I was charged that same day and still have not received my order. Tried to search my order status and the site gives me an error message. This definately feels like a scam and I am reporting the purchase to my bank. What a rip off! Wish I could give 0 out of 5 stars.

Longtime customer just lost. Placed an order in Mid-September. Returned the items I didn't want still in their wrapping. Items were returned on 9/30/15. It has been almost 1 month and the return has yet to be completed and proper credit returned to my credit card. Completely unprofessional. Continuous non-consistent responses from their customer service. Throw a $10.00 credit thinking it is going to satisfy the issue?!?! Not even 10% of my total return. Goodbye FANATICS! Easier places to do business with.
