It's been over a month since I ordered and no product has arrived. Crappy shipping method has no tracking. I'll be doing a chargeback. I've tried calling 3 times. After a long time listening to hold music the call simply ends. I've tried there online chat and no one is ever available. Email is not an option.
Ordered a jersey on 12/16 with guaranteed delivery by 12/20. It is 12/29 today and shipment email says 1/4... absolute joke. ZERO customer service. There is no customer service email (huge red flag), the chat bot never has a live representative and calling in says 20-60min wait. I tried waiting and after two hours, no one answered. Company is a colossal joke. Glad the founder/CEO is a multi-billionaire, clearly puts no money into making it a functioning organization.

I did have to wait on hold for 45 minutes but it was worth the wait because the gal that helped me on December 28,2022 at 11 AM was awesome! She was efficient she handled everything and understood what my questions were
Hello Jill. Thank you so much for your feedback! 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 truly value your business, and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Shanick
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!
Hello Melissa. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience was not up to standards. We have reviewed your order and emailed you directly to assist you further with this matter. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Shanick
I paid more money for a high quality jersey and when it came, there were air bubbles in the front numbers! Trying to contact someone from their site is impossible. I tried their online chat, it constantly says there's no one available. I tried calling and can only get an automated voice which is just giving me useless information. Can't find an email anywhere. Being desperate I also messaged their Facebook page. No reply. It's like they take your money, send you a crappy product, then ghost you.
Not only that, but they CHARGE YOU to do a full return. They want me to pay them $14 to do a return. Unreal. It's only free if you choose an e-gift card. Why would I want a gift card to a site that sells low quality products...
Hello Jalisa. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience was not up to standards. We have reviewed your order and emailed you directly to assist you further with this matter. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Shanick
I used their website to buy a jacket. Jacket was ordered on the 30th of November and paid for by PayPal. I was never given a confirmation of shipping and 2 weeks after payment I sent first email inquiry. It is now 27th of December and 4 emails and a phone call were not answered. I think this site is complete scam, thankfully I used PayPal where I could get my money back. Useless, will never use again!

Ordered an item and it was unable to be delivered for some reason. I had to track it to find out I was not notified via email or anything.
Called customer service can't get ahold of someone. Their 24/7 live chat is unavailable.
Would like to get my items I paid for.

I ordered an NFL jersey for Christmas. I paid $16 extra to have it guaranteed to arrive by 12/23. I just received it today (12/27). I have attempted to contact customer service for a refund for the shipping cost. Finding a "live" person is all but impossible. I cannot have a "live" chat with anyone because that option is not available at this time, conveniently enough. I have called the customer service number and my wait time is approximately 55 minutes. I have been a loyal customer for years but I'll be taking my business elsewhere and I suggest you do the same.
Good Morning, Cristin. I am truly sorry this order was not received in the correct timeframe. At this time, I can confirm the shipping fees have been refunded. Please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect the original form of payment. Sincerely, Maribell
I ordered a customized jersey for Christmas and it was never received. Now they are not giving the option to refund/cancel the order and it is still in processing. Called customer services and they just hang up on you. I think this is a fraudulent company and will seek a refund in other ways.

Ordered a jersey with a guaranteed delivery mid-December. I have still not received the jersey; they completely ruined a Christmas for my son! They have no live customer service to help either! Will never order from them again and encourage others not to! Will be disputing the charge with my cc company.

Have bought from Fanatics before with minimal issues but this time it was BRUTAL. Ordered item Dec 5th, can't even tell if it's left the warehouse on Dec 24th. No way to contact the company to see about canceling the order as it's already been "shipped" even though it's still showing in Missisagua. Zero way to resolve the situation or even try to contact the company as the artificial chat bot directs to help pages. Will likely have to file a credit card charge back to get a resolution. Just BRUTAL.
Mike, we are terribly sorry to hear that we have dropped the ball. We would love a chance to make this right. If you email customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number, shipping address, and name, we will be happy to make this right. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Shanick
Back on December 8,2022 I received an email, stating that I had unused rewards points on my old credit card. I tried to take $25 of them in the form of a gift card. The next thing I knew, I checked my Paypal account and saw that instead of supposed "gift card", I had been billed $25 to another of my cards! To date, I have nothing to show for my efforts, except that Paypal charge. I do feel that I have been either ripped off or hacked.

I ordered my son some college accessories,coat, sweatshirts, and polo for Christmas. The order was placed on November 17th and I was told delivery would occur on Dec 2. It is two days before Christmas and now this company is telling me what I ordered a month ago was lost at the packaging plant. And, are just refunding me because the items are no longer in stock. I asked to replace it with similar products and ship it to me now. The Horrible customer service rep refused to transfer me to a manager and hung up on me. And, the customer service is not in the US and you will be placed on hold for ever just for the customer service to hang up on you. No callbacks either as he had my number when I asked for a manager. And, I have not been refunded! All I can say is Buyer Beware! Purchase your product's from a reputable company.
Hello Nicola, I do apologize for the inconvenience. I have reviewed your order and sent you an email to the email address that is on the order. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, David
There is a total lack of any customer service at this website. Sure, they have a "chat bot" - but it is absolutely useless unless your issue exactly matches their defined response options. I bought a size large Detroit Tigers jacket. It was more like a small/medium - nowhere close to a "Large". And, sure they say "365 day" returns - but what they don't say is that they will deduct $9.99 from your refund to process the return. And then - the return email you get says to take it to any UPS location and drop it off. NOPE! Yes you can drop it off but UPS said they do that only as a service for USPS - and they can't give you a receipt.
THINK TWICE ABOUT SHOPPING AT FANATICS.COM - I will never shop here again.
Gary, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We have waived the return fee on your order and you will not be charged for the use of it. If you will email customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number and name, we will be happy to make this right. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Tina
Ordered $250 worth of WSU Shockers gear for gifts for Christmas. One item was damaged and another was the wrong size. Returning those two items has been a deeply frustrating experience. It's been 5 weeks and I still haven't received one refund, the other refund was for less than the original amount payed. I have called the company multiple times with little or no results. I would buy my gear elsewhere if I were you. I will definitely not be a repeat customer and I have already warned everybody I know not to buy from here.

If you would please respond to the email that was sent to you at your earliest convenience. We want to ensure you're taken care of due to the inconveniences that were endured on this order, so we look forward to your response! Thanks, Ryan
Put an order in on November 25 with a estimated arrival time of December 28, received an email saying my order was delayed, and would receive a 35% discount on my next order, then just before Christmas I got another email saying my order was cancelled, and a 25% discount on my next order. The fact that they took my money for over a month to tell me my order was out of stock. Wishful Christmas gift gone bad.
Hello Calvin. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience was not up to standards. We have reviewed your order and emailed you directly to assist you further with this matter. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Shanick
Terrible customer service. They try to fight you over the phone. Ordered a gift on November 25th. Automated system finally updated last week and said order would arrive Dec 21st. Order is still in the UK. It NEVER shipped after almost a month.
Hey Nathan, I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you and I would be happy to provide you assistance if you would allow me. I understand this can be frustrating, there have been some shipping delays on our custom products that come from our UK warehouses.
I want to ensure you're taken care of so I have sent you an email that was provided on your order, please respond at your earliest convenience. If you had any questions or concerns please ensure you include them in your response to the email I sent. I look forward to hearing back from you soon! Thanks, Ryan
Purchased a shirt, received in a timely manor. However, it wasn't what I thought, so I decided to return it. Low and Behold! Free returns? Heck no, that's what every other on-line retailer does. Not Fanatics, oh no, we are going to charge our customers $9.99 to return an item. Got me once... I promise, you WILL NOT get me twice... Such a shame, especially since I was a returning customer
Hello, thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We were able to locate your order and have waived the return fee on your order. We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Please let us know if we can help you further. Thanks, Tina
Ordered a week and a half ago a TN camouflage Hoodie for my Father-in-law. It's the 1st Christmas we were able to get him something and I received no email or communication that Fanatics had canceled my order. I only found out when I checked my bank account. Now it's the 21st. Really?NO communication, poor professionalism and just a crappy thing to do. Thanks Fanatics

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
