Shipping is not timely
December 24, 2015

I should have read the reviews before going with this company. I am not surprised they have not gone out of business but time will tell. I ordered 3 items: hat, sweatshirt and t shirt on 12/15. I received the hat but I called fed ex about the other 2 items and they said they would be delivering 1 item on 12/26 and the other one has not even left the fanatics warehouse! It's just sitting there- it was ordered 10 days ago! I'm never ordering from these guys and will stick with Amazon even if they don't have exactly what I want.

Hello Dee. Thanks for your feedback. We are very sorry that a system error prevented the shipping of the Mens Red Pennsylvania Quakers Arch Over Logo T-Shirt. After further review, I see that we have replaced the wrong item, and are sending you another hoodie as well. We have now replaced with the correct item and waived all return fees so you can return one of the hoodies. We have also given you some store credit, in hopes that you will order with us again. Sincerely, Karmen

Ordered my grandson two items for Christmas but only received one. According to FedEx they never received the second package. Fanatics says it's exceeded thirty days from shipment day so I'm out of luck for replacement. They don't care that FedEx never received the package, it's over 30 days since their imaginary ship date. Lousy customer service. Will never do business with them again.

Taken advantage of
September 12, 2017

Placed an order (2 weeks ago!) and the next day there was an email with shipping information. When I click on it to go to FedEx site, there is a "shipping exception". The label is nor readable it says. New shipping info was sent to FedEx, but they have no trail of any package being shipped. This company took my money, pretended to ship my order, and now I cant get through to them to try and locate my order! They sure are quick to take your money and from there could care less what happens to you. How is this company in business with all these bad reviews? 1st and last time I will ever order from Fanatics. Wish I did more research on this company before I was Taken advantage of. Now I am out the money and have no order... been 2 weeks! Unless the person delivering my order is walking from Florida across the country, nothing should take this long!

Hello Ian. Thank you for your feedback!
I am very sorry that the package barcode was unreadable. Unfortunately, I haven't received an email from FedEx to track down the last shipment. However, I have reshipped the package to you with next business day shipping at no additional cost to you. Once the 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

Horrible company
February 17, 2016

I've been battling for 4 months trying to get a refund for an item I never received. I was advised by a customer support member to "just wait" and now I'm outside their 45 day window for requesting a refund. I requested a refund months ago and was denied that right and am considering taking legal action as this violates the Consumer Rights Act of 2015. Horribly upset that I wasted so much time and money. Never order from these scam artists!

Doesn't deliver
November 16, 2019

Order a jersey for my nephew over two weeks ago, and it still hasn't delivered. All I get is excuses from customer service, its FedEx fault not ours. My guess is they didn't ship it when they were supposed to because I can't even get the information to pull up online.

Hello Thomas, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you haven't received your package at this time. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The package was shipped on 11/6/2019. It was supposed to be delivered by 11/15/2019. Once the package leaves our facility, it then in control of the carrier to finalized the delivery of the package. I am unsure of any diverse challenges it may have experience on the route to your location. Per the tracking the package is scheduled to be delivered on 11/18/2019. I have emailed the tracking information to you. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Misleading delivery times.
September 14, 2023

I made a purchase from Fanatics.com based on their representation that deliver would be before the event I planned on attending. After making my purchase, I found out the delivery is two + weeks after the event! Shameful. I may just return the products after receipt. Why do companies mislead their customers? I'll never be back and I'll make my dissatisfaction known to others.

Awful service
December 14, 2017

Two months ago I ordered a jersey, and twice had the wrong one shipped to me. It's taken me weeks to fight to get my money back after dealing with over 7 different people via the online chat. I am from Canada which made it especially difficult and long to return the wrong products. I definitely would not recommend using this site to anyone.

Excellent Help
December 28, 2017

There was a problem with my order and at first I was put off by having to wait a week to hear back from someone via email. However, they solved my problem without any hassle and made it all work out in the end. I will use them for future orders.

Super disappointed!
December 31, 2017

Super disappointed!

I have ordered from fanatics for years, spent thousands of dollars. This year I ordered my son a customized jersey that ended up costing $169.00. The jersey arrived the day before Christmas and his name was spelled wrong. I immediately called customer service because I was freaking out and thought theres no way I spelled the name wrong. They swear I did. So I thought ok everybody makes mistakes, so if I did lets just get it fixed. They refuse to fix it even if I pay. To say Im disappointed is an understatement. Not only that but the material was thin and the red lettering looks cheap. I will not order anything from them again. This Christmas alone I ordered at least $400 of other things. No customer loyalty.

Hello Laura, thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry that you are unhappy with the item you received. On review, we do see that the name entered at checkout is "HOLLDAY". We understand you feel that this happened on our end, but we assure you our system will only create the item using the information entered by the purchaser at the time the order is placed, it is not altered in any way on our end. We understand how frustrating this can be, and as a one-time courtesy we have processed a refund of 20% of the order value back to the original method of payment. We understand you would like to return and replace the item, but we are unable to accept customized items back. Please accept our sincerest apologies. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you and we would be happy to help. Sincerely, Sarah

Worst service ever
August 19, 2020

This is without a doubt the worst customer service I have ever encountered. In fact, in 56 years I have never written a negative review until now. I have spent hours on the phone about a simple exchange and now, almost a month later, it still hasn't been solved. No one seems to have any authority to fix ever the most simple problem. They are rude and frustrating beyond comprehension. I will never order anything from them again. In this day and age when solid companies are struggling for business, it amazes me that one with attitudes and service this poor is still around.

I've actually been shopping on this site for sometime now. Here and there. Face mask. My only complaint was the delivery wait. However I purchased a sweatshirt dress 60 dollars not worth it so I looked into returning it. You want to charge me to give me my money back? Not for shipping but $9.99 fee for refunding my money period. Decided to keep it. After reading the reviews happy to have received something for my money. Won't buy from you again.

Shipped to wrong address and wont ship again unless i reorder, over two weeks after mothers day. No offers to make it right, no offers of future discounts or promotions for my inconvenience. As a retail business owner I find this lack of actual customer service appalling. I wont be back

Hello Brett, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package is being returned to sender. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, when the carrier is unable to make the delivery they have to send it back to our fulfillment center. Because the system would've automatically refunded you the funds on the order once received, the advocates are unable to reissue the package back to the customer or update the address. It can take up to 10 business days to receive and process the return for a refund. You will receive a confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian.

Poor quality
June 4, 2022

So disappointed in the Sixers womens v-neck t shirt. This was for my crazy Maxey loving Mom and it's such poor quality I'm embarrassed to give it to her!. Streaky printing, dull and wreaks of vinegar even though they say it comes out after the first wash. I don't want to give her a low quality, smelly shirt.

Tmobile bait and switch

Order Elsewhere
October 13, 2016

Just because Magic Johnson is the spokesperson, don't believe that this company is credible. I placed an order on September 14 and have received NOTHING. I have called (I've "spoken" with Magic as no person ever answers the phone). I chatted with someone online who said they didn't know when I would get my order. I sent an email to inquire only to be told: "We do not have an estimated time frame for when your order will ship from our warehouse and we appreciate your patience as we work through this process." I've worked in shipping at an online company... it doesn't give me much faith that I will ever get my order if this company can't even provide me with an estimate of when I might receive my order. When an organization can't be transparent about basic services and doesn't provide timely customer service, it causes red flags. Shady. Very shady.

What customer service?
February 9, 2021

This company recently took over the gear store for Blizzard Ent. And they suck. I placed an order for a Lilith statue last year for pre order only to be told right before shipping the item was no longer available. And then when I complain there is no record of me ever having placed the order at all. Are you kidding me? Then I try for 3 days to log into the account and my password no longer works. Try to do the password reset and still have not received an email from them for the password reset. Any attempt to use the chat option for customer service leads to a huge loop of automated bs ending on sorry busy please try again. This is the worst company ever why Blizzard sold the store to them I'll never know but I'll never spend another cent with them.

Fanatics.com intentionally makes it hard to reach them. If you do and have an issue with your order, you will learn that they send through FedEx only to connect it with USPS which then becomes a black hole for them. Just use Amazon.

Used the order coupon for receiving my order before Christmas only to be told in Christmas Eve that my item magically has fine print on the web site now saying it is being carefully designed and will not be shipped for 5 days after order. Which I interpret as they are not making or buying the item until they get more orders for it. Bull crap. Avoid this company like the plague.

Customer Service
January 25, 2017

As a customer for over 7 years, I've always enjoyed shopping on this site-until the last year. For some reason, the last three times i've used them it's been awful. From getting the wrong items, to returning items, and sending emails that have been ignored. I don't know if they were sold to someone else in the last year-but things have changed and i will not shop local for all my needs.
