Nfl shop
September 12, 2022

Got 2 hats. Charged 10 dollars more per hat than nfl shop. Flog there first. They over charging here for jo reason. Wish I would have purchased somewhere else now that I see they way over priced. I got screwed. Don't let this happen to you. Fanatics over charging 10 more dollars than most places. I rate them no stars.

BUY ANYWHERE ELSE!

Hi Jared,

If you could send me a screenshot of the same item on a different site that is a lesser price, I'd be more than happy to refund the difference. Please send to customerfirst@fanatics.com -Jimmy

Kathi, we are truly sorry, however, we will be offering several promotions throughout the holiday season. The prices are based on fan demand and availability. We are unable to match the current price of the items that may have fluctuated, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Sincerely, Julia.

Lost my order
August 18, 2018

I ordered on Aug 1st sent out 5 days later with fed ex. Waited and waited no package. Per Fed Ex it was then sent to USPS. Again waited still no package after 18 days. Called again oh we are sorry your package was lost in transit. First of all shipping is slow and why do you use Fed Ex and USPS. Never again. Poorly run business.

Note: Customer Service rep was very nice.

Without exaggeration, my dealings with Fanatics have been the worst customer experience I have had with any company! They created an issue with an order that I tried placing, cancelled the order without telling me, and now refuse (or are just too inept) to fix it--I have never had the experience of begging to buy from a company, yet have them do nothing about fixing their own error. I will take the hint and take my business elsewhere...

I paid for 4 to 10 days expedited service I have not received my package yet. It's a total joke. I made several attempts to contact customer service It's just an endless loop on their automated service. I tried phoning them on their customer service number and I was put on hold for over a half hour before I gave up. This is currently the 36 day that I'm waiting for my package. I will never order from them again.

Don't even bother
December 13, 2017

I have had multiple issues with fanatics most recently I bought a item for my dad and had them ship it to his address but they instead sent it to me and said it was because they send it to the credit card address not the shipping. Why even bother to have that there then, absolute trash stay as far away as possible it's a shame that now run most of the online shops of the major stores.

I ordered an item to be delivered to my business. The delivery service they used tried to deliver it when we were closed and only tried one time. They then sent the item back to Fanatics. Fanatics, rather than hold my item and possibly reship or even try to reach out as to why it was it returned, said the item is no longer available and i'm out of luck. Seriously?! I had one shot at this? I mean most delivery services have a pick up center if they are not able to deliver and they usually try at least twice. Needless to say this will be the last time I purchase anything from Fanatics.

Good Afternoon, Jeremy. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience caused. Upon review of the order, I can confirm the package was lost in transit. At this time, a full refund was issued. Please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect the original form of payment. For the inconvenience caused, I have emailed you a promotional code. My sincere apologies, Maribell.

We have spent thousands of dollars with Fanatics in the past, and were planning on continuing in the coming months - but based on the most recent order won't be returning customers.

Ordered customized jerseys and confirmed the shipping/arrival date with customer service representative when placing the order.

Received an email with an updated arrival date that was weeks passed the promised arrival. Contacted multiple customer service representatives - each time hearing the same response "sorry, must have been a new agent you spoke with, there's nothing we can do". When escalated the response was "we can offer a discount on your order if you decide to return."

Great customer service is a choice, and it's what promotes customer retention. Have a good attitude, offer alternatives, figure out a way to compensate the customer for their time and money.

Unacceptable.

Hello Shelby, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the items hasn't shipped out at this time. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that was purchase are manufacturer direct items. On our site it will show the time frame it will take to complete the order. The item isn't scheduled to be shipped from the manufacturer until on or before 9/27/2019. You were refunded the shipping back to the method of payment. The advocate upgraded the shipping from standard ground 3-7 business days to next business day. Unfortunately, the manufacturer will on ship the package out standard ground. One item was shipped out today and is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. You were offered a discount code to use towards a future purchase which for understandable reason was declined. However, if you would like to take us up on that offer, you can send us an email at Customerfirst@fanatics.com. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.

Horrible company
December 20, 2018

I ordered several items from Fanatics one of which my wife really wanted for Christmas. After several weeks nothing came so I checked their site for a tracking number and when I checked it said returned by UPS for an incorrect address. Meanwhile my charge card was charged. I called to order online and they was out of both sizes. After this I was told my card would be refunded. They kept my money to order other supplies and I received nothing. Stay away!

Hello Thurman, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package was returned to sender. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the number on the street address was never entered when the order was placed. The USPS was unable to deliver the package. When packages are returned to send, once our warehouse receives the package you are refunded for the return to sender package. However, the advocate could see package was returned to us and refunded you the order. However, you new order has been shipped and should arrive by Friday and Saturday. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Don't EVER shop here
December 20, 2020

Ordered one hat for my brother for Christmas, which I was going to wrap and send to him. Site said my order would arrive 12/10. Then they said shipping would be delayed 2-3 days due to heavy volume. Hat showed up 10 DAYS later. I went to return it and found out I will be charged $10 to return it... after spending $7 to have it shipped to me. Their fault becomes my problem. So I have spent $17 and received nothing. Fool me once...

Return policy is a joke. I received a gift card for this website, which is the only reason I even ordered anything, then the shirt did not fit and it took forever to get someone on the chat function they have, only for them to say it's too bad I basically have to pay the cost of the shirt to return it and reorder it in another size. Meanwhile there are no numbers to call them. I will NEVER order from this site again.

Next Day Shipping
November 23, 2018

You need to fix your website. When I ordered on Monday for next Day I expected to receive my jersey by Wednesday. Well, Wednesday is here and no jersey. Called CS and the lady argued with me over next day. It has special shipping and could take 3 business days. Then why did the website take my next day payment knowing It would not reach my home next day. Wow, you refunded my shipping. No jersey in time for the game on Thanksgiving. Very disappointed.

Hello Stephanie, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package didn't arrive as you expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that you purchase is made once the order is placed. On our site the time frame on how long an item will be shipped is located on the add to cart and several more times highlighted in green that this will take up to 3 business days to make. It will then ship by whichever shipping method that was chosen. You chose the next business days shipping. Because our warehouse was closed for the holiday Thursday, the package wasn't shipped out until the next business day 11/23/2018. Packages shipped out next business day on a Friday will not be delivered until the following Monday by the shipping carrier. As a courtesy, the Advocate refunded you back the shipping to the method of payment. It can take it up to 2-7 business days to reflect back on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

The website provided misleading information about the product. It describes the clothing item as "Men's Seattle Kraken Fanatics Branded Black Primary Logo Quarter-Zip Pullover Fleece Jacket". This item is a flimsy see-through 100% polyester shirt."

Resolved my issue!
December 5, 2018

I purchased a custom shirt from NHLshop.com for a Christmas present for my Grandson. It came with a letter missing. Customer Service could not help because they said I left the letter out.
I wrote to the CEO and a wonderful woman named Chastity Sanchez said they are sending a new shirt. I was so sceptical about getting this resolved due to the other poor posts so I am pleased to say thank you Fanatics and post this very good rating!

For original order, items were shipped in different packages at different times - some arrived broken. Packing slip in one box was for some other person's order, so I had to call to get a return label and correct receipt. I ordered a few more items and same issues - all shipped separately, no receipt and no return label- just dropped in a mailing bag. Despite their "365 day return policy", am now finding out that some items were shipped from a different company and that company's 30 day return policy has expired. No customer service phone number to be found anywhere on their site - I had to Google it just to find out how to call them and get this mess straight. Both times I called they didn't recognize my order ID and had to look up my order some other way. Never again!

Hello Andra, thank you for your feedback! We are very sorry that you were unable to return the item. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. We try to inform customer that certain items on our site are manufacturer direct. These are shipped separately from what we have in inventory in our warehouse. Because these are coming from a different company, we have to abide by their return policy. You can usually find this message highlighted in green under the item description. The return policy are listed on our help page located at the top of the screen under manufacturer direct returns. You can also find our contact information on the help page under Contact Customer Service, Additional ways to contact link. Once again, we apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.

DESERVES 0 STARS
November 25, 2020

This is truly the WORST customer service department I have ever dealt with. Ordered a custom Baltimore Ravens jersey, after TWO wears and NO washes it's completely falling apart. Obviously the cheapest material they could find was used, and for 180$! ABSOLUTE JOKE. Will not refund, or exchange but they're happy to keep the money for a piece of trash jersey. Will absolutely never shop through them again, and would advise you to do the same. There is a reason they are at a 1.6 star rating, and even that is generous.

EDIT*****: The order number is 21-6057-9028, as written. This is ridiculous, just got off the phone with a customer service representative who refuses to do anything to set this issue right and stated when asked for a manager stated "No, our managers do not like to field these types of calls so no one can help you."

If you have a problem with your shipment and Paid with PayPal, don't expect a full refund. You'll end up paying for that expedited shipping you likely added even if you never receive your items. Won't ever make that mistake again to order from this company!

Worst company to deal with. They do not care about their customers. You cannot even call them. Look for a number on the internet. They could care less about their customers. Tried to order over $200 worth of product and could not get a question answered. Please don't buy from them it just encourages company to no provide customer service. Especially with their high prices!
