Contacted customer service and was connected with Jordon. She was extremely knowledgeable and efficient with the issue. Looked it up and immediately took care of business. The items I had purchased were no longer available so I was given a full refund. She also offered a discount coupon for my next purchase! Jordon was very professional and went above and beyond. Great customer service!
Despite placing an order December 12 which stated it would be here by Christmas, I STILL have not received the order as of 1-3-19 and despite calling customer service and being placed on hold for 25 minutes, they hung up on me! I called back and they stated there's nothing they could do. I asked for a manager whose 'resolution' was for me to send the product back once it was received (estimated to arrive 1-15-19)! WOW! You lost a customer. Even funnier, Fanatics is calling ALASKA an international address after the fact. There was nothing on their website stating that the package would not arrive for up to 14 business days. If so, I never would have ordered. In fact, when I checked out, it stated it would arrive by 12-24-18.
My experience was very good with Fanatics. I like how they give u an option to pay with Zip which allows me to pay on my purchases every 2 weeks. Cause there is no way I would be able to pay it all at one time.
Ordered gift for friend with 3 day expedited shipping. Paid a rather hefty $ amount for this expedited shipping. We are now on day 7, no package. Fanatics has no meaningful updates of package. They suggest I work with FedEx and will not refund my expedited shipping fee. Fanatics states it will show up at some point and to be patient. Fanatics should at a minimum refund my expedited shipping expense and be a bit more sympathetic. They bait you into 3 day delivery charge, then do not execute.
Hello Mark, thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We are terribly sorry that your item has not been received yet. We were able to locate your order and have processed the refund for your shipping. The recent hazardous storms that passed through the Midwest have caused unexpected delays for some packages. Please continue to monitor your tracking information as it may take several days to update. The carriers are working to get these item(s) to you once conditions are safe. Rest assured your items are still on the way. We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to be processed. Please email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com if we can help you further. Thanks, Jessica
I ordered face coverings on May 14 to be shipped no later than July 9. Instead of holding my payment until the order shipped, Fanatics charged my card. On July 9 half of my order was cancelled. On July 13 I contacted Fanatics and they could not tell me when the remainder of the order would be shipped. At that point, I cancelled the order.
They held my money for 2 months and didn't even try to rectify the issue. Extremely poor business practice. I have spent quite a bit on Fanatics and they will never get another dime from me.
I just received my Yankees masks 9/2/2020 which I order them on 7/18/2020. For the first time, I am very unsatisfied with these products from Fanatics. And when I was trying to return them the company is charging me 9.99 for return labeling fee. Masks are too small, poor quality and does not fit the description from their website.
Hello Hoon, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the quality. 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 received three shirts from Fanatics as gifts that I returned to exchange. I used the Fanatics return forms and marked gift returns box which is supposed to send a gift certificate to use for the exchange. Instead they credited back the account from the purchaser. When I reached out to Fanatics their response was "Sorry we're not sure why that happened, but there's nothing we can do at this point. You should reach out to the purchaser." I'm not going to reach out to the purchaser to ask for the $ to do an exchange. In addition, they made me send them back in two packages since two shirts were NFL and one was NHL and charge $5.50 per package for return costs. I would recommend staying away from Fanatics for any gifts you're looking to send anyone, this was a frustrating process.
Hello Paul, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you were provide incorrect information. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Our company just recently updated our procedures on how to handle gift returns that were refunded back to the purchaser. I have open a ticket to our Order Management Team to have a gift certificate emailed to you. Please allow 3 to 5 business days for them to have a code generated for both orders. Once again, I apologize for any confusion and frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Hello Derek, I am truly sorry for any issues with your order, as this is not the experience we want for our fans. I have sent you an email, hoping we can further assist with this matter. We look forward to your response! Thanks, Shane
Worst vendor experience I've ever had. Ordered World Series gear from the park when first available, paid extra for quick delivery, received an email that items had shipped, items are 3 days overdue and my kids are disappointed. They failed to deliver but succeeded in taking my money. Customer service available by "live chat" that loses its connection before you can get an answer.
This is a business that you need to avoid. This is a business that needs to go out of business.
Hello Steve, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. We have processed a refund for the shipping fee back to the original form of payment. We do see you paid for 2 business day shipping but FedEx choose to ship it out under standard shipping. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Brandon.
Expect a long delay in order processing, and even longer ship times, subject to change constantly. Fanatics then takes no responsibility as they will blame FedEx for shipping delays. Worse, they don't even really use FedEx, it's USPS disguised as FedEx. If you track your item the whole way through, I guarantee you will see what I am talking about. Terrible terrible service. If an order is eligible for ShopRunner, you are likely to have better results because they tend to stand by the 2 day shipping promise.
Hello Mo, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the shipping transaction. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, The package was order on a weekend in which the next available pickup date would've been Monday. The shipping method chosen was best value shipping which will get the package to the customer sooner than the Smartpost 3-7 business days. The package is indicating that it was delivered within that timeframe. Fedex and the USPS teamed up to help with keeping USPS in service. Fedex picks up the packages from our warehouse and ships it to the town in which the package will be delivered. Once in that town, it is turned over to USPS to make the final delivery. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
So I ordered a custom jersey comes in and the last name is falling apart! So we call to get a new and the customer service was so bad! Very rude! Then the new one comes and the piece where the last name goes on is now falling apart! I don't understand why they don't stitch the last name on the jersey very unprofessional! Then I've been waiting for a shipping label to return the toner one for weeks! Let's see how long they take now to send me another shipping label! Stay away from this company
We certainly apologize that your item was received not once but twice defective. We have emailed you a return label for both items. Additionally, we have issued a discount code for your next order given the massive inconvenience and disappointment with your order. This code was also sent to your email address on your order. We apologize again for your experience so far. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to us and we would be glad to assist you further. Thanks, Edmond
Nick (*******) who I spoke to tonight was very helpful in getting my order corrected that I just received. He explained the process and it was a quick phone call with the results I was needing including expediting the replacement so this could make it's way under the tree! Nick deserves a shout out for a job well done and for saving the day!
Hello Amanda, We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. Thank you for taking the time to let us know! We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Julian
My first order arrived with one shirt when I ordered five. They told me to wait to see if the items shipped in another package. A week later I told them I didn't have my shirts. Nine days later I still have an order that still says processing. It has been 28 days total and I don't have what I ordered. I will never order from them again. Horrible. I will stick with Amazon and Ebay.
They gave me fan cash for my missing items, but I still don't have what I ordered. Fan cash is WORTHLESS as you will never get your products.
Just give me my money back. I have spent a couple of hours now contacting you guys for missing items. Ordering new clothes / sports memorabilia should fun. My teams suck, and Fanatics makes it worse.
Stop advertising on TV and take care of the customers you "had."
Hello Bradley. We apologize for the shipping delay of your order. We are working diligently to have the package processed and shipped. We have processed a discounted refund for this inconvenience. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to reflect. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you, Chastity
I have always received out standing customer service, my orders always arrive extremely punctual. Fanatics is a great company.I always find unique items always. Quality products I enjoy wearing their merchandise with pride.
Their shipping is super slow, which I was already annoyed with. Then the product arrived damaged. That's not necessarily the retailers fault, but how they handle the returns is.
I started off trying to return a damaged product. The service rep offered to ship a replacement with expedited shipping, which i initially agreed to. But then she said it would take 3 business days. That doesn't really sound like expedited shipping to me, so I immediately told her to just process it as a refund. She had jumped the gun and processed it as an exchange. I told her to cancel it and I was told that is impossible. That is absurd. It took almost 2 weeks for me to receive my initial order, and you're telling me the replacement shipped within 30 seconds?
Virtually any online retailer is more user friendly. They take longer to ship, have worse customer service/return policies and their prices are no better than their competitors. Why buy from them?
Hello Tim, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item was defective. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have sent a request to our warehouse to cancel the reship. Unfortunately, I am unable to guarantee if this will be cancelled in time. I do show that the Advocate has refunded you for the item back to the method payment. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. However, the return shipping fee has been waived in the case of the item is shipped out to you. You will need to print out a return label and attach it to the package. You can return the item at any local post office. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
If there were a possibility to give Fanatics zero stars, I would. I ordered a sweatshirt from the Fanatics Air Force page. The quality was poor. Then, I had to return it and was ONLY refunded half of the amount I paid. In addition, there is NO way to contact the company via phone or email to rectify a situation. Never again will I utilize this company.
Hello Gina. We are very sorry you were not satisfied with the item you received. For the inconvenience we have now issued a refund for the return fees that were deducted from your refund. Please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to post back to your original form of payment. Sincerely, Karmen
I have ordered from fanatics several times in the past and have never had a problem. However, This Christmas I ordered a sweatshirt for my father in law. I placed my order on 12/13/15 because they guaranteed that I would receive it before Christmas. I didn't get the item until after Christmas. I contacted customer service several times and they have basically stated that there is nothing they can do for me. They haven't even responded to my last email. I would have expected a reputable company at least offer me a coupon. I will not be reordering from fanatics.com again nor would i recommend it to anyone.
Hello Tracey,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your order was not delivered in time for Christmas.
Upon review of the order, we show you placed the order on December 13,2015 which was before we launched the "guarantee to get there or it's free" promotion.
We value your business and would love the opportunity to keep you as a customer. For the inconvenience we have processed a 40% refund back to your original form of payment. Please allow 2-10 business days for this money to reflect back in your bank account.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.
Sincerely,
Lauren E
Senior Fan Advocate
I ordered and it took weeks to deliver, when items were received, one item was missing from the shipment. I can't talk to anyone in customer service, the automated system hangs up on you and the chat lines are unavailable. Can't navigate the website customer service at all! Don't bother, find another retailer, this one sucks!
Hello Theresa, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you were missing one of the items. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. If I can please have you private message me the item and if you still would like the item or refunded, I will be more than happy to further assist you. Sincerely, Julian
They say on their site the product will ship in 3-4 days. 4 weeks later the material hasn't shipped and they said they cannot refund because it's a custom shirt. Even though they just gave me a new ship date of 2 weeks out and nothing has been customized yet!
Hello Stephen, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item was delayed. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The item is being shipped directly from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, they were unable to fulfill the item by 8/30/2018. However, there is a revised shipped date of 9/24/2018. I understand that you wanted to request to have the item cancelled and refunded. If you could please email me at customerfirst@fanatics.com and advise if you would like to have to keep the item or be refunded. I will attempt to send a request to our Order Management Team to see if it can be cancelled prior to it shipping out. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I paid for expedited shipping on my order. My notices say that my order
Will not arrive until 2/7/17. This is unsatisfactory. I realize the
Items I ordered may be in demand right now, however I find it
Unacceptable to be charged for a service that was not provided. Please
Let me know how we can resolve this. The email I sent to customer service bounced back and directed me to the Fanatics site- where there was no option to contact customer service...
Hello Jeannette. We truly apologize for the delivery delay of your order. We are working diligently with the appropriate departments to research this issue. We have processed a refund for the shipping. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to reflect. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you, Cayla J
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 Susanne, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package didn't arrive as expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, the code used was for free shipping which is shipped standard ground. Because it was being shipped to Alaska, the shipping time frame could take up to 14 business days. The package was shipped on 12/18/2018 and will be delivered no later than 1/14/2019. On our site you can also chose a faster shipping method. The only recourse was to waive the return shipping fee if you no longer desired to keep the package for a refund. A return label was generated and emailed to you. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
