... and when (if) you finally do, they are unable or unwilling to help with the simplest of issues. A service phone number is buried under about ten layers of web searching, and when you find it getting a person on the phone takes trial and error and tricks you should never have to know... I spent a lifetime waiting for help, and when someone answered and could not assist me, the "supervisor" they sent me to hung up on me before we even talked... This is our future as a society if we do not shop locally. I will never go near this company again. I have a useless garment I can do nothing with.

Fanatics will always advertise specials and free shipping, but if you don't watch very closely they will auto populate expedited shipping and charge for it.

If you notice this, it takes lots of time to reach Customer service to get your order cancelled. They ask for email and order number and it usually gives you an error message which wastes time.

I would highly recommend shopping in stores or use Amazon. Fanatics is a rip off.

Spend your money elsewhere
January 16, 2022

We are huge Warriors fans, I try to support my team but dealing with Fanatics is less than mediocre. I ordered my Christmas present on November 26th. It's now Dec 17th and am being told that my gift will not arrive on time with NO ETA. On top of that they are unwilling to credit me for the "inconvenience" and want to offer me a coupon for future purchases. I'm just sincerely disappointed that they are not a customer service oriented company. I choose to business with retailers that want my business and apologies don't cut it.

STAY AWAY!
August 2, 2018

LOUSY service as well as customer service. Ordered an item back in April that I never received and was never given a reason why after being on hold for 20 minutes. Went to place another order in July of the same year and the same thing happened. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Stay away from this toxic site

Order a shirt on 9-23 and when order they had 8 in stock. 3 to 5 business days to ship. Been going on 3 weeks now and emailed server times and called, left messages. No answer. Period. Would like refund, but they way things are going, that isn't going to happen either. Buyers beware, always look at reviews. Lesson Learned

I ordered a Father's Day present on Monday and it is now Friday and the item hasn't even left their warehouse yet. When I wrote them back to complain and ask them to please expedite the shipping to resolve the issue, they responded 2 days later instead giving me a $10 credit to their store... to me this is completely worthless since I'm never shopping here again. I wish I could give them less than one star and I wish I checked out all their terrible reviews before ordering with them.

Bad Shipping
December 29, 2019

Ordered a Penn State Jersey - lasership tried to deliver it 5 times saying they needed more information. Emailed them 10 + times and no response. Called many times and never got through to anybody. I asked CS at Fanatics to contact the shipping company and they said that they could not make outgoing calls. What a sham company. They seem to have a nice selection of product but the service sucks!

Hello Steve, thank you for your feedback, I am very sorry about the delivery package. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of the order, the item was shipped out on 12/4/2019. The shipping carrier attempted to deliver the package on 12/7/2019 but more information was required to complete the delivery. Several attempts by the carrier was made to make the delivery. Because the package exceeded the the time frame, the package was deemed lost and refunded on 12/12/2019 back to the method of payment used to make the purchase. Per the tracking with the carrier, it reflects that the package was delivered on 12/17/2019. If this is not accurate, please email me at Customerfirst@fanatics.com so I can further assist you with the order. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

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.

I received the wrong size of my jersey that I had ordered. I bought this jersey 25% off and thought I would have just been able to exchange it, however they don't do exchanges and now the sale is gone. They expect me to buy a jersey at full price now due to their mistake. Also the amount of time that it supposedly takes to receive your refund is extremely long and that makes me feel extremely uneasy. Will not be buying the jersey from fanatics unless customer service finds a good solution.

Hello Ashmit. We would like to work with you to get this matter resolved and we would be happy to honor the price you paid on the new purchase for the same item. Once you place a new order, send us a private message and we will refund the difference. We have also waived the return label fee so you will not be charged to send the jersey back. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to expedite the return timeframe, but you will receive confirmation once it has been received. If we can do anything to help further, please do not hesitate to send us a private message. Sincerely, Cayla

No full refund!
October 29, 2022

I received two shot glasses that I bought as a birthday gift for a friend. The glasses had barcode stickers or something of the sort on the rim, so I wanted to take them off before gifting. There was glue residue that didn't come off, so I washed them in soapy water. Well the team logo decal quickly began to peel off! Went online to get a refund, and they want to charge you 9.99 for a cash refund! Either that or you have to take store gift card. Which is unfortunate as I don't plan on shopping with them again!

This website plasters all over their website why you should order with them and about their "hassle free" returns. If you order something incorrectly they will not exchange but will refund and expect you to re-buy the item after skimming a $5.50 fee off the top of your credit. I talked to their customer service and they said unfortunately I would have to pay. Stay away from here and use a true hassle free service such as Amazon.

Ordered something from them that is a manufacture direct item. Got the confirmation email and went to check the order status next day. It is not on their web site. The order that I received a month ago still shows as pending, also. Tried using the help section, but it is incorrect and shows navigation that does not exist.

Did a chat session and got a lot of attitude from the Fan Advocate. I don't think that word means what she thought it meant. Had to get a supervisor on the chat and wasted 10 more minutes to get it cancelled. Well, they said it would be cancelled. I am betting I will have to cancel the CC transaction myself.

Worst experience ever
December 9, 2016

My wife and I are longtime Cubs fans. Wife has been a fan since toddler. Ordered two items to celebrate and their POS carrier LaserShip loses shipment. Says it was delivered, we were home that day never got it. Contacted CSR and they said it'll reship, a few hours later an email comes and say one is out of stock and being refunded. I don't want a refund, I want what I ordered. Now that Fanatics ruined our Xmas, I will never shop with them again.

Hello Richard, thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear about this experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to pick our gifts and have them fall through completely. It is not unusual for Lasership packages to show up a week after marked delivered - it is possible you will still get the package. However, we have confirmed your full refund has been issued for the total value of the purchase as well as an additional credit added to your account to use towards a future purchase. If you do place another order with this credit, please pass on the order number via private message and we would be happy to see what we can to expedite the delivery. Thanks again, please let us know if there is anything else we can do. Sincerely, Sarah B.

Lies."Get it by 12/23"
December 23, 2016

Where's my order? I too placed an order and as the site stated "get it by 12/23"! I've been waiting all day. I've had my gift boxes and wrapping paper on stand by. Now I have no gifts for my boyfriend?! How embarrassing!

I just went back to review my emails. I did find one that says get it by 12/23 or is free... maybe just another lie?

Delivery in over a month
November 12, 2019

I ordered a Utah Jazz Infant Personalized Bodysuit for my niece size 0-3 months, and figured delivery like every other place I'd ever heard of would be a week/week and a half at most. I checked my order status the next day and found out they weren't even going to ship it until a month from my order date. She's a baby. She would've grown out of it after wearing it twice! So I called in to cancel the order and request a refund. They said the order was from a third party and that cancellation could only happen within 30 minutes of placing the order and so it was too late. Overall ridiculous experience. Take your business elsewhere.

Hello Tanner, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the delivery date. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, this item is a manufacturer direct item which on our site was not scheduled to ship until 12/3/2019. Once the order has been placed on a customized it, these sales are considered final. However, I have sent a request as an escalation to see if it will be possible to cancel your order. Unfortunately, I can not make you any guarantees. Once they review your order, you will receive an email with resolution to this situation. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Bad start already
May 27, 2017

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.

Very Disappointed
December 29, 2018

I placed my order on December 10 and was to be shipped within 7 days, we're on day 10 now. I checked the order today and it hasn't even processed yet. I've attempted to call them at three different numbers, all with insane wait times. I was on hold from two different phones at once, one was up to 46 minutes before I finally hung up.

They had NO problem charging my credit card that very same day though. Where's my order?

Great customer service
December 20, 2019

I received the wrong shirt on my order. I purchased a Stephen Curry shirt for my son. (His favorite basketball player). I received a Buffalo Bills mens shirt! So, I called in and spoke with Spencer. He was very fast, charming, and took care of everything for me! I understand sometimes stuff like this happens, and wrong merchandise gets sent. I appreciate how the situation was corrected and how fast! Just in time for Christmas! Thanks Spencer! As someone who has worked in customer service for years, I hope this company knows what an asset you are!

I received the wrong item, not once but TWICE. Had to return both times. They expect you to return items when it was THEIR mistake. Don't take into account time and trips to P. O. Item was out of stock. Now I get an e-mail saying no refund because another item was shipped. UGH! I could scream. The more I try to fix their mistakes the worse they get. The need to take some lessons from other Companies about good customer service.

Be care with order
December 9, 2016

Be sure you review your order and dont get in a hurry like I did. Customer service would not give me the item as it was prices on their site the day I bought it or even to check that day. I could not pull it up when using history so I had no way to prove the amount. And they said the discount did not apply to the items I bought. Check everything before you hit the purchase button and do a screen shot just to be sure. When I first ordered from them when they were a fledgling company they were great. The more times I order the worse it has gotten. Too big for their britches. They have lost me! And my family. They probably don't care..
