Really poor service
January 9, 2023

Really poor service. Ordered my England shirt in November 2022, got email to say will be delivered 1 December but wasn't and never updated. Spoke with customer care and was told will take 3 days to investigate and then will be called or emailed. No one contacted, now I'm being told they will do a refund. So, no shirt for World Cup as I wanted.

Poor quality products
August 2, 2018

I ordered a t-shirt and a long sleeve Cleveland Indians Chief Wahoo shirts. They were the poorest quality material you could imagine. The thread count was so thin you could literally see your hand through the material. These products are a cheap as a $6 shirt from Walmart yet they charge $30. They did allow free return shipping but still charged me $5.95 return fee, which I think is what the two shirts together were worth not the $60 plus they sell them for.

Hello Patrick, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the shirt was not to your expectations. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The return shipping fee of $5.50 was waived. You can visit our Return Center to print a label to send the items back. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Technology Morons
December 29, 2018

Don't ever order anything from these people. They use antiquated systems and the chances of your order being messed up is extremely high. When I started using A VPN they cancelled every order even though I had ordered things in the past and had them shipped to the very same address and used PayPal. The first time it happened, I called and they said that it was a problem with my address. What it was, with a VPN your IP address is encrypted and they can't match it to your physical address. But, anyone with a shred of intelligence would know that it was being shipped to the same physical address as my past orders so how could it be fraud? They assured me at that time that it would never happen again, but sure enough the same thing happened again on a subsequent order. So, I actually turned off the VPN and placed the order again and low and behold they cancelled that one as well! That's not security, that's ignorance. Stay away from them! It's not worth the hassle.

Hello H. C., thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you are having difficulties placing your orders. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction and safety of our customer information. The system will automatically reject transaction that appears to be blocking information from being provided. Most times thieves will use a VPN to mask their location when they plan on using someone card information to place a fraudulent order to see if it clears. So the rejection of your purchase is just a way to make sure that the customer isn't being fraudulently taken advantage of. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Worst Experience Ever
February 15, 2023

This should be zero stars. I ordered a jersey for my Grandson in early December. Received notice that it would be delivered Dec 28th. Never showed up. Got another email saying it would be delayed longer. Then this past Thursday I got an email stating "We're sorry you were unhappy with your order. We are refunding your money". Only NOT ALL of my money. They kept around $8.00? And no explanation. My grandson had been waiting for over a month and they didn't have the courtesy to reach out with an explanation. And where is the rest of my money?

Easy ordering and superb package mailing/tracking
January 24, 2024

Ordering was easy but a bit confusing with regards to getting free shipping and/or discount on sale items. Did finally get corrected. Tracking of the order was superb, especially with regards to when it actually shipped and was delivered...received a text message stating it was just delivered.

I completely understand now why this company has so many bad reviews. I just wish I did my research and reviewed the company first. Ordered Sept 5 (wed) and receiving Sept 19 (wed). Everything else I order comes sometime the following week from when I order it. I won't have in time for when I go to the game. Customer service completely rude about it as well.

Hello William, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item didn't make it in time for the game. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that you purchased was customized. Those items can take up to 3 business days to make. The first shipping date for the item was on 9/10/2018 and will ship by whichever shipping method that was chosen. It was shipped standard 3 to 7 business days FedEx Smartpost. The package was delivered on 9/16/2018. On our site, you can select a faster method of shipping depending on when you need the item by. Per previous discussion, the return shipping label was waived. You can return the item at any local post office at no additional cost. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

They offer a free shipping coupon and then automatically add a $9 fee for expedited shipping by default. If you don't notice the bait and switch then I bet you've paid the fee without ever knowing. Slimy business practice! Buyer beware

Horrible experience
October 5, 2017

I ordered a jersey for my nephew. They processed my payment and the money came out of my bank. Now 4 days after my order, I check the status and it says refund. They took my money and said my payment was declined. Well, obviously not because the money is gone. I received ZERO notifications. I spoke to two people on the online customer service chat who disconnected when I started asking about the money. I called and spoke with a women at length who said she would put in a ticket. She refused to let me speak to a supervisor. She said I might receive a refund, but that the payment never went through when my bank says otherwise. I shop online often and have never had this kind of issue. Now, I'm out $85.57. I'm very angry and I will tell everyone to stay far far away.

That's not the experience we want for you, Courtney. You should have not been refused a supervisor. We will continue to improve our customer service. We do see that a ticket request was submitted regarding the refund. Your issue number is 1604580. You will be contacted via email within 2-3 business days. We hope that we have the chance to correct this. Sincerely, Dariana B.

Received my order today. Utter garbage. The shirt is the poorest quality t-shirt I have ever purchased anywhere. And guess what? It's not even the right player! It's not even a real player! Who the hell is #5 Summers on the Patriots? So I go and try to return it and they have no record of my order. Are you f-ing kidding me? Scum. These people are total scum.

Customer service agent saved the day
September 9, 2022

The CS agent who helped me was fantastic. After a less than stellar online experience, the agent I spoke to on the phone was able to fix my issue and went above and beyond to make my day special. I will do business with Lids/Fanatics again simply because of this person who answered my phone call for help.

They sent the wrong order for shoes and now don't have the right size in stock. I now have to return on my time after wasting 40 minutes with them chatting and they offer no back order process or credit for my time. Monique and Erin C. In customer service had the responses of AI or drones... maybe they were. I would give them no stars, but not possible.

BUYER BEWARE!
November 1, 2019

Went to start the return process for one of the items I ordered and noticed a $9.99 return fee for the label. Reached out to customer service and was told that there was no way possible they could wave that fee. RIDICULOUS! On top of my item being way to big the quality of all for shirts I ordered was garbage! Very thin material for what I paid. Please beware when ordering any from this company!

Returns can take up to 10 business days to receive and process. You will get a confirmation email once the item has been received back in our warehouse.

Amazing customer service!
December 13, 2018

I have spent years in customer service and wish I had the employees I have talked to in the last 2 days in this company! They are patient, understanding, helpful and most of all, real! It is a pleasure to do business with amazing people! Thank you especially to Shakira who tried her sincere hardest to help me place an order my bank wouldn't allow online. I did finally get my order placed and can't wait to see my fanatics family's face on Christmas morning thanks to the amazing deals I was able to get!

Sketchy sketchy sketchy
October 29, 2019

An order was made in error on our end, as their website tries to impersonate authentic suppliers. When I called to cancel I had to call the out of country customer service line 4(!) times. The first 3 times when asked what my call was about "cancel" the line got disconnected mysteriously. On the 4th call I said "change" instead and was put immediately through. I was able to cancel, but they are now charging a $9.99US label fee? Which is ridiculous as I cancelled within the same hour as placing the order. Hopefully the full refund will appear on the credit card as this company seems incredible sketchy!

Hello Julie, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that it took so many attempts to get in contact with someone. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the order was full refunded back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. You were not charged the $9.99 for the return shipping fee as the package never shipped out. 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

COMPLETE RIPOFF
January 27, 2023

This company promised products by Christmas pre-order. After I ordered, they immediately alerted me it would be January before I would receive my order. I tried to cancel and they would not allow me. Several of the items were incorrect. When I went to return them, I was informed I would have to pay $9.99 for every returned item. Their website reflects that it's $9.99 total for all returns if you use their label, but customer service told me every customer is charged $9.99 per item no matter. What's even worse is that if they decide that the item was okay as sent, then they would not only keep the item but also keep my money. NO THANKS!

Very dissatisfied. Sales person told me he took care of canceling my order. The next day I got an email saying it was shipped. Spoke with another sales person and they said there was nothing that they could do for me. Very disappointed with your service department. I'm a long time customer and thought I would be treated better.

I ordered a $60 hoodie expecting something similar to what you'd get at major retailers at that price point. Instead I get a cheap sweatshirt in the wrong size, with threads pulling from most of the seams and on both sleeves. The logo on the front was cheap and poorly screen printed or heat pressed. The sizing was also small. Worst yet, I got to wait nearly 10 days for it to arrive. Ordered on a weekend, didn't "ship" until Wednesday and didn't actually leave Florida until Thursday. Save your money and shop somewhere else.

Horrible service
April 17, 2020

I had spoken to someone due to 2 items that came damaged. He stated a supervisor would call as the products were sold out but would refund a large amount and I can keep the products or they will replace them with something similar. No one ever called. Was hung up on and disconnected 3 times and finally they told me they couldn't help me. Never again.

MISSED FIELD GOAL
April 1, 2022

I was stressed on delivery timeframe due to my brother's memorial but it showed up right on time. However it came with the Dallas Cowboys Star off center, what could I do this late in the game, so I wore it. And then I read the reviews. I have to wear it, and once I do I'm sure it can't be returned.

Placed an order for a few Christmas items, one of which I found out later I did not need. Called to cancel that item - easy and painless process. Lauren Alfonzo was very helpful in the remedy of my mistake!

For the future, as a suggestion, it may help customers to remedy this even quicker if the online orders had a cancel button rather than only being able to do this over the phone.
