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.
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.
Hello Margaret. Thanks for your feedback. We are very sorry about your package. Due to a system error, your package containing the Mens Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry adidas Royal Blue Replica Road Jersey, was never shipped. We have now issued a replacement for the item with 2 business day shipping. We have also given you some store credit to use on a future purchase, if you wish. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Karmen, Senior Fan Advocate
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
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!
Hello Ellie,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced regarding your most recent order with us.
Upon review of the order we do show you requested a refund but were never issued one. At this time we have processed a full refund for the lost package back to your original form of payment. Please allow 2-10 business days for this money to reflect back in your bank account.
We value your business and look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon.
Sincerely,
Lauren E
Senior Fan Advocate
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
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.
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.
Hello Brianne, we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. The order number you provided does not locate an order. Please make sure you are not missing any numbers. I will like to look into this to get this issue resolved. Thank you, Brandon.
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!
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
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.
Hello Johan, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about your experience. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Could you please private message us, I was unable to locate the order with that information that was provided? Sincerely, Julian
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.
Fanisha, I am so sorry, we really dropped the ball on this. We would love a chance to make this right. If you will email customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number and name, we will be happy to make this right. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, David
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.
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.
Received a tmobile credit only to find the prices and shipping were SKY HIGH! I looked on eBay after my purchase, and would have saved a couple bucks buying on ebay! Shame on you fanatics! Won't ever do businesses with your company again.
Hello Russ. We are sorry that you are not satisfied with your recent purchase. We change charges on our site from time to time for various reasons. For example, sometimes it is because the cost to us increases. We apologize sincerely for any inconvenience this causes. Thanks, Cayla J.
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.
Hello Pam. Thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. A cancellation and refund has been processed due to the package not being shipped. Please accept our most sincere apologies. Thank you, Chastity
Was promised 3 to 7 business days. Message now says it will take 16 calendar days. Started as FedEx, now is USPS. I schedule is an issue, you might want to look elsewhere or pay extra. This is mid-March, not the Christmas rush.
Hello Les H, thank you for your feedback! We are truly sorry you were misinformed regarding Hawaii's standard shipping time frame, currently standard shipping is between 7-14 business days. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Darren
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.
Hello Richard, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We have reviewed your order and would like to further assist. Please send us a message so we have provide a resolution. Thanks, Chastity
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.
Hello Shawn. Thanks for your feedback. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience regarding the shipping of your items. As stated on the website, at the time of purchase, these items ship within 5 business days. Your order has shipped today, December 28th, and will be delivered to you December 30th. We have also emailed you the tracking information. Sincerely, Karmen
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.
Hi Jeff, we do appreciate you letting us know about you past three experiences with us. We will be more than happy to make things right with you. We do see that you provided us with an order number, we ask that you please let us know what this issue is so that we may resolve this matter for you. We look forward to your response. Thanks, Whitney P.
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 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
