Ordered item on 12/7 for a gift-giving party to be held on 12/23. Plenty of time i thought. Called on 12/20. Was told it would arrive 12/21. Called later on 12/21. Was told it would arrive on 12/22. Called later on 12/22 and was told it would arrive on 12/23. No gift for the party on 12/23. It arrived on 12/24 at 5 pm. too late! Will never do business with this company again. Too many other options for these sports items. Unfortunately no one goes to these reviews BEFORE they make a purchase. Only after they have been screwed do they find out how bad this company is. Caveat emptor but i vote with my feet.
Placed order with guaranteed ship by Christmas. Product never showed up until a week later after Christmas. Contacted agent at Fanatics and was unable to help or refund shipping. Total ripoff. Will buy elsewhere going forward.
Hello Gregory, thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry that we let you down regarding your purchase! We understand completely the frustration that this caused you this holiday. We have issued a full refund for your purchase and ask that you keep the items as our gift for the frustration. Your package clearly falls within the GTGT promotion guidelines. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you and we would be happy to work with you. We value your business and want to make this right. Sincerely, Sarah B.
Ordered two items on Nov. 30 and returned them well within 30 days. Items totaled $87.33 including shipping. On Dec. 22 we were only credited $25.50. Also, we cannot get through to anyone in customer service via phone. Waited for 30 minutes after being told via a recording it would be a 5-minute wait. Where is the rest of our refund Fanatics? Please provide the accounting details behind the refund discrepancy or we will seek legal counsel. Thank you.
Hello Molly. Thanks for your feedback. We apologize that you were only refunded for 1 of the 2 items that you returned to us. We believe it was just an honest mistake. We have issued another refund for the remainder. Please allow 2-10 business days for the refund to post back to your original form of payment. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Sincerely, Karmen
Orders 12/5 now excuses about covid delaying things after saying no updates from there own warehouse. Generic emails that are no help. Did live chat with a sorry excuse for a rep. Asked questions and they send short generic responses and end chat without even seeing if you need anything else. This company has gone downhill over the last couple of years.
Hello James. We are very sorry that your order was delayed in being shipped out. We see you have received part of your order today and tracking shows the rest will be delivered to you today as well. For the inconvenience we have issued a refund for your original shipping charges. Please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to post back to your original form of payment. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a sweatshirt and t-shirt and before ordering I called to see if standard shipping would get it to me before I left. Order date 8/29,8pm, leaving 9/7,8pm. 7 business days it's being sent FedEx so Saturdays are inclusive with any level of service that's 9 days. Checking tracking it will arrive by end of day 9/11. Speaking with them again, no concern at all, the typical "we're within our range" if you would have used a faster shipping method. Whether or not I get the shirt in time, they've lost a customer for good. We can all shop online anywhere for overpriced collage apparel, I will shop elsewhere.
Hello John, thank you for your feedback! I am very if the package hasn't arrive as you expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The package was shipped on 8/31. Unfortunately, once the package leaves our fulfillment center our company has no control over the shipping carrier estimated delivery. At that point it is up to the best and safest way to have the package delivered. I do show that the estimated delivery date will take it outside of the standard shipping time frame of 3-7 business days. I have refunded you back the original shipping fee back to the method of payment. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
If you order something that is custom made and try to cancel your order 5 minutes later they will not do it even though nothing has been manufactured. Just absolutely criminal on their part. 13 days to get a tshirt using the Fed Ex to USPS snail mail. This company just absolutely blows... Shop elsewhere you'll thank me later.
Hello Anthony. Thank you so much for your feedback! We are truly sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. We would love an opportunity to work with you to resolve this matter. For the inconvenience, we have given you some Fan Cash. Please log into your account to view that. Thank you for your business and we look forward to hearing from you soon! Sincerely, Karmen
If you are on a timeline and hope to receive your purchase containing personalized items within a reasonable amount of time... don't bother. Slowest shipping I have ever encountered. I always order size XL for all of my shirts/jackets. Sweatshirt is snug and tight around neck. Not great quality either. Live and learn folks!
Hello Ron, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. If you will, please send us a private message. We would like the chance to look at this further and completely resolve this for you. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Ceterija
Fanatics replied that they sent a refund via email! This is another lie and scam tactic by Fanatics customer service in an attempt to make the company look good. I hope sports leagues and franchises that authorize Fanatics to sell their licensed sports merchandise realize that the Fanatics Mission Statement is lie! I hope these franchises soon learn the truth and no longer will associate themselves with Fanatics, a business that is untruthful and has a horrendous customer service record.
Hello Rand, thank you for your response! At this time an email has been sent to you with instruction to return the set to us for a refund. Unfortunately, the vendor would still have a policy that the item was not notified of any defects after 30 days. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
LaTanya was AWESOME! She was kind, patient, helpful, ask me about my day, etc. With customer service like hers, I will definitely be ordering from your company & spreading the word to other people. Keep up the great work. I'm very pleased.
Hello Robin, 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
Customer service does not exist for this company. I accidently purchased a size 48 jersey. Decided to return it back for the sake of getting a new jersey. Come to find out they take 20 days and then was told 27. I only met 2 helpful people in this entire process. Now I'm sitting up here without a jersey with no guarantee to even get it replaced.
I've never felt more scammed a day in my life. I was given different information regarding my refund and what I'll be paying and everything. This is terrible and I will never use them for a jersey buying site ever again. I am beyond fumed at this entire situation that has not been properly managed.
Their shipping methods are the worst as well. Slow mail so by the time they make it there you won't even have time to buy the jersey you want. They run out of stock and everything.
Latest interaction was me being talked down to by a customer service rep. NEVER AGAIN.
Nelson, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. You will receive your full refund for your order. Your return label has been waived. It can take 7-10 business days for your return to reach our warehouse. Once your return is received, it can take an additional 10 business days for us to process your return. Once your refund is processed it can take 2-7 business days for the refunded amount to reflect on your account statement. Once you receive your refund you can replace your order for the desired size. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can help you further
So you get all excited about trying a new company saying you will get your items within 2 weeks is plan bull$#*!. I ordered in April 2020 and now they tell me end of October. Calling BBB tomorrow. Worst Ever..
Hello David, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the delay of your item. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Great news! I see that they have just arrive and should be shipped out shortly. Once the label has been created, you will receive a shipping confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered something on June 7,2017 using standard shipping (which is 3-10 business days). I assumed since it was going from FL to CT, it might get there a little sooner.
The tracking shows it sitting at their facility from June 7-12. It was finally picked up June 12. FedEx tracking shows expected delivery as June 17. SO, 5 days to process + 5 days to get up the eastern coastline = 10 days of unacceptable BS.
It's almost like they wait to ship to take the full amount of allowable time for your shipping option. I'll be sticking with Amazon and Jet from now on.
Stay away unless you don't mind shipping policies reminiscent of the late 1990s.
Also - after filling out their contact form asking about it - I got a canned robot response that had nothing to do with my clearly articulated issue.
Hi Don, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We do our best to advise our customers of the processing and shipping time frames of the items that are purchased. We ask the you please send us a private message with your order number so that we can further discuss your order. We look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Ceterija
Ordered pricey hats as a gift for my kid and all went well until the tracking showed invalid address/UnDeliverable return to sender/origin. Tried contacting fanatics they double triple checked my address which is very much valid and have never had a delivery issue in the last five years I have been living in the complex. I was advised to contact the shipper "Landmark" absolutely horrendous. There is no one to answer the phone so I left a message, two messages and also wrote them an email... a week later still no response no communication whatsoever. I could go pickup at their hub, arrange pickup or even provide a different address but off course that can only be done if there is some type of communication. All I can think now I hope my refund comes as fast as they took the money off my card.
Hello Oliver, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package was undelivered. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, when an order is being returned to sender it can take up to 10 business days to be refunded. Once the items are shipped, it is up to our shipping partner to make those deliveries. Once the return has been received, you will receive a refund confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
GARBAGE. Jacket fell apart after 2 wearings. Will not accept return without original tags and return charges. Customer service obnoxious. If you want to throw your money away, here is the place. Learmed my lesson. Always check reviews before buying.
We are so very sorry that your item has become defective. You are able to return the item for a full refund. We have sent you an email containing a pre-paid return label and the return instructions. Sincerely, Karmen
After Fanatics messed up my son's custom Lakers jersey and their terrible customer service refused to make any sort of amends for it. I suggest you not purchase from this company. Even their customer service managers could care less. Order elsewhere.
Hello Eric, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the customized jersey wasn't spelled correctly, Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, this order was placed on 12/31/2019. Any customized order are considered final sales items. On our site is posted several times that the order will not be refunded and to make sure that it is spelled correctly several times prior to check. Our company has 90 days policy to notify us of any defects, damages, or wrong items. You contact is beyond those 90 days. A discount was offered to you for the inconvenience so you can place a new order, but that offer was declined. If you would like to be discounted, please email us at Customerfirst@fanatics.com. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I am still waiting for items that were guaranteed to deliver by 12/22. In addition, an item was not available, the transaction was cancelled without me being notified, and the money was returned to a gift card that I had already thrown out. I spent over an hour trying to resolve this issue on Christmas Eve, thought it was all set, and yesterday received an email that the money was put back on the gift card that is in the garbage. I am on hold again. I wish this company did not have a monopoly on sportswear because it allows them to treat customers like this and get away with it.
Hello Nicole. We apologize but the refund has already been issued back to the Gift Card you used. If it a Visa Gift Card you can contact them for further assistance. Sincerely, Karmen
Won't be ordering from them again. 3-7 days shipping was a joke, it took nearly a month to ship my items and still waiting for delivery. Ordered September 9th and items were shipped October 4th. I hope fanatics starts losing their official licensing eventually. Customer service is terrible to deal with as well.
Needed to return a gift item that wasn't my size and was having trouble returning it online because I didn't have the senders information. They contacted me immediately and solved my problem. A+++ service!
Good Morning, Barry. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to let me know how your experience was. Sincerely, Maribell
It'll cost 10.00 to exchange anything if your gift doesn't fit. You maybe at best get back 60% of what you paid. Returns aren't just a size swap but a return & you must re buy. So any sale price is no longer. Plus you loose $$$$
Hello Dianne, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry but I was unable to locate the order with the number you provided. Could you please private message me again with the correct order number or email address? I will be more than happy to further assist you. Sincerely, Julian
Generally, if you pay for overnight shipping, one would assume the retailer holds up their end of the bargain... not fanatics. Instead, they send via 2-day and it arrives too late so the order is useless to me. When contacting customer service they were far less than helpful. They said I'd need to pay for the 2-day shipping. Not sure what world that makes sense seeing Fanatics made the error, not me. Either way, now the order hasen't even arrived and no communication why so I'm out a bunch of money and didn't even get the items.
My one point of solace, every day I go to Google and click on a handful of their paid ads from multiple browsers, costing them about $15-20 a day. I'll keep this up for the foreseeable future until they make this right and refund all costs associated with this order.
Hello Matt, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you haven't received your package. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The item that was purchased was a demand made item. The item goes into production soon after the purchase has been made. It can take up to 3 business days to complete. The item was completed on 3/26/2018. Per the tracking details, the package was loaded on the truck on 3/28/2018 and was undeliverable because the business was closed. The package is now being returned to sender. Please allow 10 business days to be received at our warehouse. You will receive a refund confirmation email once refunded. After refunded it may take 2 to 7 business days for your financial institution to reflect the refund on your statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
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

Please reach out via private message and provide your full name, e-mail address and any alternative order number you have and we would be happy to look into this further. Thank you again, we hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
