Long story short. Shipping has been delayed over 2 weeks with no updates (LaserShip). 2 hours spent on hold on their customer service lines over the course of 3 days. Never spoke to a human. Several emails sent and ignored. Still haven't received my item. I have been ordering things online my whole life and the experience I had with fanatics and LaserShip has been the saddest, most pathetic excuse for a business. I have had better customer service from kids selling stuff on their parents eBay accounts.

My boyfriend spend $200 on a jersey for me for Christmas as they did not have the players name and number he choose the custom option... big mistake
It was way too small... the sizing chart is incorrect. We both called and emailed customer service and were told we were out of luck no returns as it as a custom jersey... however they do sell a Seahawks Lockett jersey so it is sellable... they also said if we sent back they will just donate to charity. Even if they would have just giving a 50% store credit. I would have been happy but too be told we are just out of luck was horrible service

Issues arise sometimes from online ordering. I had an issue with my order that sent it to the wrong address and I was unable to retrieve my package. Shakira in customer service assisted me from start to finish in resolving this problem. Thank you so much!

Deceptive advertising
December 27, 2019

I ordered three times from this site on December 18 with a promise of delivery before Christmas or the item would be free. Two of the times were received in a timely manner. The third is still in transit and will not be received until December 31 (per FedEx). Customer service informed me that this was disclosed on my receipt. I would never have placed an order for a Christmas gift that was due to be shipped a week late. Customer service offered no valid explanation.

Hello Nancy, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the shipping expectation. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item was a manufacturer direct item. These items are shipped by the vendor fulfillment center. This item was excluded from the Guaranteed to Get There promotion because it wouldn't have shipped until 1/7/2020 or before. By clicking on the banner at the top of the screen, will provide reason for any exclusion to the promotions. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Can I give 0 stars?! Similar experience as others. My order sat in the Shipping label created status for 8 days then I receive an email that says they received my return and have processed my refund. I never received my order. I did not want a refund; I want the shirts I ordered. Im wondering if Ill actually get this refund that could take 7 days. So basically, they hold onto my money for 2 weeks. No telephone to call. My e-mail was returned with a message saying the e-mail is not monitored. My only option is live chat. I did receive a previous order but it wasnt what I ordered. I ordered a ladies red Angels shirt and received a extra large mens blue Brooklyn Dodgers hat! Not even close. The receipt said the Angels shirt too. I was guessing the warehouse workers might smoke marijuana. To their credit, they did exchange the hat for the right shirt, but after this time, Im probably done with Fanatics.

Hello Natalia, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you never received your package. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The package was shipped out on 6/13/2018. Once the label has been created, it is picked up by FedEx by end of business day. If the label was damaged or missed to be scanned it will show still as label created. The package was returned to sender back to our warehouse. Once our warehouse receives the package, they will send an automatic email that the order was refunded. I have email you a discount code to use towards your next purchase. If you have any further questions, you can respond back to that email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian.

CRAP
January 4, 2024

Did not receive notification of shipping.
The order has been sitting in warehouse for five days with an Arrival Pending status, but updates state arrival to my address for the last three days. Customer Service speaks English, but most difficult to understand and really don't think they understand what is being stated. When, or if, it will arrive? They take your money and then treat you like crap, NEVER AGAIN!

Poor exchange policy
April 22, 2016

I purchased my son a pair of $60 shorts for Christmas and by the time he got them and wore them it was over 30 days. The first time that he wore them the waist band/drawstring ripped out. All I wanted was to exchange the defective item but it is against their return policy. Personally I think if a product is defective they should replace it. All they offered me was $10 off my next order which I really don't plan on ordering from them again. Why advertised 365 days return policy when it doesn't apply to defective items!

The whole organization is awful. The worst online apparel group. The NFL teams can do better. They don't deserve my business either. Been screwing around with these losers since the Holidays. Ridiculous amount of time to get the simplest of things resolved.

False Advertising
June 29, 2022

Announces at the top of their website "65% of Site wide" with exceptions. It should read, "Hunt down the one item with 65% off and maybe another item could be on sale."I put 7 different, individual, items into the basket over this weekend. Not one, not a single one, qualified for this "Site wide" promo. This is the definition of a "bait and switch." Can't believe the major sports leagues collectively use this site... Also, $35 for a damn snapback hat! Price gouge much.

Hi Stephen,

I apologize for any inconvenience. All of our site promotions do have exclusions and certain items such as sale or clearance, pre-sell, manufacturer-direct, or some Nike items are excluded.

I ordered a hat and paid expedited shipping to wear it on a particular day. I received the wrong hat. I cannot find a phone number or email to get in touch with them. They have a virtual assistant that does not understand what I'm talking about. I disputed the purchase with PayPal and days later they still have not responded.

Do not order from this company! I ordered a Viking jacket that tuned out to be sweatshirt material which was a women's large. It was more like a youth's size. I used there label to send it back and was charged $12.49 when it says they charge $5.50. It took several phone calls to get anything back on my credit card. So I paid $12.49 and got nothing for it! Just a lot of stress!

Not as advertised
January 3, 2021

I was super ecstatic about the Dodgers winning the 2020 World Series so I ordered a blue long sleeve shirt from Fanatics. I finally received the order and the shirt appearance (the color) does not match what's advertised on their website. The color appears faded and the white lettering stained with blue blotches. Quality control dropped the ball on this one.

Fanatics attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Terrible Company
February 2, 2017

Ordered two shirts for delivery on 1/23/17 for Super Bowl 51. On their site it says "will be shipped by on or before 2/1/17. Today is 2/2/17 and they still have not shipped! This company is terrible and it is about time that all the major sports teams stop doing business with them!

Retirement Ruined
June 8, 2017

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.

No answer
December 2, 2023

I received a MLB jersey with no tags attached and the letters of the player's name were not lined up at all. I contacted the customer's service two times, but never came back to me with a solution. They just said that my request had been escalated... and that's it... So I had to keep poor quality jersey of more than 300$.

I have read the first five reviews and they are all about shipping in some way or another. Mine order is no different. I have ordered through Fanatics before and have had no problems. My order was two items and I received one item but not the other one. They state that I have to wait until my packages does not make it today for them to do something but thing is, it was a Christmas present and will not be here for Christmas. This is so sad! Some of you are very lucky, being able to call. I could not find a phone number to speak with anyone therefore I had to chat online with two separate customer services reps. While they were polite they did not care to rectify the situation. A simple call to make sure the package was given to Fedex would have been nice but neither rep was willing to go that extra mile for providing great customer service. Needless to say, I will not be ordering through them again

3rd CALL to make it right
December 14, 2018

First (2) technicians were not good, the first guy sounded like he just woke up, second lady clearly was making up regulations and exclusions to a sale, whilst I was reading the exclusion list verbatim per the official website, third guy (Johan) definitely took time, heard me out, did research, read the exclusion list, very thorough and solved the computer glitch manually.

Would give 0 if I could.
November 17, 2017

Bought a sweater that turned out to be an overpriced sweatshirt. Bought a baseball shirt that was so thin the numbers on the back showed through to the front. Flimsy. Not worth $5 let alone the $37 charged. When called to address the issue, service rep had no way to access what products they sell. Pathetic! Don't buy here.
