Ordered custom jerseys
November 13, 2021

Originally, before I placed my order, I was told the 2 custom jerseys would be shipped within 10 days. After I placed the order, immediately they changed the shipping time frame to 6-8 weeks. Very much a bait and switch, since they don't allow you to cancel custom orders. Now we won't have our custom jerseys for my wife's first game. I do NOT recommend this site.

I paid extra for fast shipping as this product was a Christmas present for a family member. My bank told me they are a fraudulent company. Do not order from this place! You will also never be able to get a response from these people.

Horrible tracking, no responce to emails.
November 5, 2021

I placed an order on Sept 27 th.
It is now Oct. 6 th. Tracking has not changed in a week. Near impossible to contact anyone in the company. When I log on to check status, no order is showing! The money was taken out of my account, and I have emails with order number and tracking number. Thier online chat is a joke! Very disappointed. Glad I paid with pay pal. Will likely start a claim soon for a refund.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!
September 20, 2022

I ordered an NFL shirt back in May 2022. After numerous shipping delays I cancelled my order since it's now August and the most recent ship date was the end of September. I found the exact same shirt on another reputable sports merchandise website for the same price and ordered it. It was shipped the same day I ordered! I had a similar experience with Fanatics when trying to order Super Bowl merchandise. At least I only wasted a couple of weeks waiting for merchandise that was never going to come. I will never attempt to do business with this "company" again.

I GOT PLAYED
December 30, 2023

Ordered two jerseys. One has defective stitching on the big number on the back. Contacted customer service and they offer to let me keep the damaged one and will send me a replacement only if I agree to pay another $25 in shipping! NEVER doing business with Fanatics again and warning everyone I can every chance I get.

Bought jersey on draft day waited 3 months to get a jersey with screen printing. I paid over $100 for a Jersey I could have bought at the flea market. Should have ordered one on EBay ($115) that has sewn lettering and logos. Probably the last real Redskins Jersey I can get and its a dud. Poor products slow shipping. I check today and the same jersey is $59 I'm pissed. Punt don't don't buy from these guys

Hello Anthony. Thank you so much for your feedback! We are sorry that the jersey was not as you expected. We do have several different jerseys available on the site and the "Game" jersey is screen printed. We do have other options if you are interested and in case you would like to return the item we have waived the return fee.

I ordered several items costing well over $100 for Christmas presents. One of the items did not fit so I returned it. I expected a full refund but was informed that I received a $2 refund instead. This is BS! I will NEVER use this site again. Buyer beware if you need to return something to this company.

Rarely, if ever, disappointed.
March 5, 2024

I have had nothing but the very best experience with Fanatics. Only once did I have a mailing issue. I called, they were going to send another for free but then I actually got the original product in the mail as we were talking because of an honest person who received my package by accident. I have, not on purpose, sent un-worn items back after a year and got gift card of same price of product, no questions asked (those items were in perfect, unused condition with tags still attached. This has been the greatest business relationship I've had with anyone.

Returns IMPOSSIBLE!
January 4, 2023

No way of returning anything if you don't have an order number…. Can't speak with a live representative… connects you to a computer… spent hours with no results! I have ordered many times from Fanatics… but this is the last time!

This site is a scam.

Good Morning, Simone. I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Upon review of the information, this was placed on FanaticsEdge. This is not our site. I recommend that you contact your financial institution and let them know. Thank you for your patience, Maribell.

They sent me the wrong item, second time in a row
December 9, 2022

I ordered a limited medium eagles legend jersey and received a random xxl team shirt. Extremely frustrated, the jersey I ordered isn't even listed anymore. Was very excited to buy my first jersey in 15 years, only to be extremely let down. Hopefully they can reach out and make this right, because when my girlfriend called(she ordered it on her account) they told her the jersey was sold out(didn't say so on the site) even though when I ordered there was nothing to show that any sizes were sold out. I'm beyond frustrated

We ordered a custom Raptors jersey as a gift for a friend, about 6 weeks in advance of his birthday. When it arrived, the letters were peeling off the jersey straight out of the package. We initiated a return, and they promised to send a replacement. When the new package arrived, it was clearly someone else's order - a Blue Jays jerseys with a different name. So we initiated a return again, and asked for the right order to be sent. Instead, Fanatics sent a 30% off coupon for our next purchase, and refunded a portion of our money. Only after complaining to customer service were we given the full refund. In the end they made no attempt to fulfill our order. I've never had such a frustrating online purchasing experience in my life. Their final attempt to appease was another discount coupon code. As if! And by the way, the birthday is long past. Extremely disappointing. Don't bother!

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

So disappointed!
February 3, 2022

Wish I would have read reviews prior to ordering! I wanted an item for a Christmas gift, order in October since stock/products were going to be difficult to acquire this season. Read the company return policy stating returns accepted 365 days after order date! I did receive the item in a timely manner and product appeared to be nice quality. Gave the gift at Christmas, didn't fit. Initiated return online. Received a message that it was not eligible as returned window closed. Upon further investigation into return policy, manufacturer direct shipments have a 30 day return. Who knew? How do you order a gift, give the gift and return a gift in 30 days? I called customer service and was told exceptions are generally made at Christmas and watch my email for a return label. I received a form letter from Customer Service, Sorry... over 30 days... no returns accepted. This was not a $10 t-shirt! Buyer Beware if you are ordering a gift!

Ordered a shirt on 1/2/20, received shipment notification on 1/3/20 and tracking number. It is now 1/15/20 and my package is still sitting at Fanatics. The tracking shows only a label was created, then hasn't moved since. They were quick to charge my card though. They offered no explanation, nor a remedy to the issue. Do not buy from Fanatics.

Hello Jodi, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package was not received. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the package was shipped on 1/3/2020. Unfortunately, when the label was created it may have either been damaged or wasn't scanned in at the sorting facility with the shipping carrier. However, you were refunded 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

Poor quality
December 18, 2023

I ordered a Dallas Cowboy's sweatshirt for Big and Tall. It took 2 weeks to arrive. The color quality was so poor. The sleeves were purple and no way matched the logo. Now I have to pay to return. $10. Will not order again.

We received an order of 6 items. I washed all screen printed shirts together after one wearing. One shirt began to peel so I immediately contacted Fanatics for a refund. I was told I would only receive a 50% refund because I do not have the original tags. The screen print is of poor quality. I believe Fanatics should stand behind the products they sell.

Don't custom order
November 2, 2018

I recently had a custom Packers t-shirt made and the miss spelled my name. Called customer service and because it's a custom shirt and their mess up they won't fix it. I mean how do you miss spell Bright really. I have always wanted a shirt made this way now I'm stuck with one that isn't even right. All I got from customer service was it's custom order nothing we can do.

Shipping
December 7, 2020

Paid for shipping, delayed twice and hasn't even been shipped, won't get item for over a month. Spoke with rep and they offered to give me a 30% discount on my next order... their promotion on the entire site is 30% off your order. Rep tried to game me and had no other solution. Unbelievably poor experience.
