Live Chat - What a Joke
January 19, 2023

Placed an order on November 30,2022. The invoice said 3 to 7 business days. It's now December 20. Tried live chat - live chat says I can expect the delivery on December 19. Good programming job there. Tried to speak to a human. No humans. Tried calling corporate headquarters. They don't accept calls. Called another 800 number, the chat there put me through to a human. Unfortunately, she knew only what I did that this organization is totally screwed up. But she apologized 30 times in 5 minutes and I still have no idea where my order is. All we know is that it hasn't shipped yet. No updates. Just crickets. Will play this game one more day and then cancel the order.

Order lost
January 19, 2023

I ordered the Retro Colorado Av jersey Nov 15th. Received notification that it shipped Dec 6th and Expected delivery of Dec 14th. When I didn't get it by then & couldn't get get any status updates, I contacted NHL.com (which was very difficult to get to a human rep), I was told after 24hrs if product isn't scanned after the shipment notification, then it's assumed lost, money refunded & 30% off coupon issued. That doesn't help me now, just a few days before Christmas! Now the jersey is sold out EVERYWHERE! That was the only thing my fiancé asked for for Christmas!

Deceptive Website
January 19, 2023

Lousy service! Ordered three hats (one was a Christmas gift) on Monday the 18th of December, based on their web page statement "Order Today, Get it Before Christmas Free" which still appears on their website header today, December 19th. Shipped the ne item I need by Christmas on Monday from Baltimore UPS ground. UPS already estimates December 27 delivery. Other sites are using overnite and 2nd Day. NO way items go coast to coast this time of year via ground in less than a sold week. Called in to complain and was offered a coupon (so I could order again and get crappy service, I suppose?). Won't be dealing with these clowns again. Dave in Reno

They don't go exchanges. If you call to return, they pick up after 25 minutes, then the call gets cut off.

Hello Anne,
Thank you for reaching out. I am reaching out to you in regard to your Site Jabber review. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you are needing to return/exchange the item.
According to my system, I am showing that a return label was already sent. Our return policy is the same thing as our exchange policy. To get a different size, you have to return the item you have for a refund. You may order a different size now, or you can wait until the return is processed and the money has been refunded. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to send out the correct size without having a new order placed.
I have waived the return label fee of $9.99 so that you will not be charged to send the item back to us. The return can take up to 10 business days to be processed back into our warehouse. Once the return is processed back into the warehouse you will receive an email about your refund. Refunds can take 2 to 7 business days depending on your financial institution.
For the inconvenience, I have emailed you a 25% coupon code that will expire in 6 months.
Your 25% coupon code: HHLTZ82WVWL6
If I have not resolved this matter to your satisfaction, please let me know how I can be of further assistance.

Horrible
January 15, 2023

I will never be ordering from Fanatics again, this is two orders they have now canceled what kind of business do these people run. No one ever knows what is going on and the promised time of shipping is never correct. I made an order in November that got canceled in december and now I made an order 12/11 and now 12/16 tell me they canceled the second order. Either they get it together or these purchases will be disputed. Do not bother purchasing from them.

Done with Fanatics
January 15, 2023

Ordered a jersey for my son for christmas on 11/21/2022 that was in stock. They send me an email on 12/15/22 telling me the item is unavailable. They give me a coupon for 30% off my next order. Well by this time they have nothing left in stock in his size. I purposely ordered this item way ahead of time so that I would not run into this problem. Spent the day trying to find another place to purchase. Finally found it on a canadien website but I don't think it will be here by christmas. Sooooo disappointed!

Hello Jane,
Thank you for reaching out. I am reaching out to you in regard to your Site Jabber review. I'm so sorry, we have really dropped the ball here.
At the time you placed the order, the item was still in stock at our warehouse. When the warehouse went to process your order, that is when we discovered the item was out of stock and that is why it was canceled. I know how frustrating this has been for you and I know that this was not the answer you were anticipating.
I know the previous agent that you spoke with provided you with a 30% coupon code, which is the maximum amount that they are allowed to give out.
For the inconvenience, I am going to email you a 50% coupon code that will expire in 6 months and I have refunded you your shipping fee of $4.99. We ask that you please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect back to the original form of payment that was used at checkout.
Your 50% coupon code: MWZ7WN11RD7K
If I have not resolved this matter to your satisfaction, please let me know how I can be of further assistance.

For a limited time, Fanatics has recently allocated a large supply of fly paper from Bangladesh. We purchased a grip of this paper to pass the great deal on to you. For a limited time buy one for a couple hundred and get the 2nd one for free jerseys. Guaranteed you can see through genuine Indian fly paper jerseys you can wear to all you black tie events.

One of my shirts on sale was not fulfilled and I got a notice concerning a refund of $31.51. They only refunded me $26.80. They put the rest as a reward credit. I spent my $10 rewards on this purchase and still wanted to use it. NOT COOL! In addition, they increased the price of the shirt being sent to me by $10 so they gain $10 back in their pocket for this very thin poorly made shirt.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
January 14, 2023

Ordered a 2XL thinking it would be big enough to put over a sweater, it was too small to get on. They sent me 2 sweatshirts instead of one, and charged me twice. They said they would wave shipping and send me a shipping label for the second shirt. THEY DIDN'T. Still have the second shirt, no refunds, paid return shipping on the first and was on hold so far 2 hours.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
January 13, 2023

If I could give them 0 stars I would. So I bought a jersey on Nov 25,2022. Okay, then I get a confirmation text that my order is now complete. Almost 3 weeks pass, I check the tracking number. It says "Shippinh label created, USPS awaiting item-LOS ANGELES,CA" then it tells me its picked up by the usps on nov 26 and then it says it arrived at los angeles then it tells me that it "Departed USPS regional facility- QUEEENS NY DISTRIBUTION CENTER" HUH? Why is my order now in NEW YORK. I contacted customer service and was on the phone with a super rude guy with a thick mexican accent. I hung up because his professionalism clearly wasn't there. I gave them my name, phone number, email, and tracking number, and they said they couldn't find anything in the system. Wait, youre kidding right? When I look at the payment method, it says getaways? HUH! I paid with my card. Anyway, I still have not received my item. This is the worst experience I had with a website.

I placed an order for my husband's Christmas gift on the 8th of December. I chose 3-5 day shipping guaranteed before Christmas, December 25th. I constantly checked my email for a shipping update but nothing. Today I reached out to Fanatics via their chat service and was informed that they had issues with the item and it now wasn't supposed to arrive until the 27th. Two days after Christmas and 19 days after I placed the order. No one contacted me about said delay or offered an explanations or compensation on this $100 order. So I requested a cancellation and full refund to ensure that I can purchase a new gift for my husband. They REFUSED until I threatened to open and escalate a PayPal claim. Even claimed the item was already shipped when it very clearly had not. They then said they'd send a confirmation email in 48 hours about my refund and cancellation. I do not trust them and went to PayPal and opened a claim. Their business model is sketchy at best and they constantly lie. I will not give them anymore business. This is the first and only time I will shop here. I pray I get my money back. Do not shop here. At all.

Placed an order by accident. Immediately wrote to cancel that order and they said they would be getting in touch with me. They never did, I received the item in the mail, and now I have to return it. The problem is now they say, their customer service department, that they can't find my order by number name email or telephone number.

Wrongly Shipped Jersey
January 11, 2023

I ordered a Jersey for a NFL game I'm attending. It was ordered on the 10th of December and promised to ship Next Business Day expedited. However when I tracked the shipment the jersey isn't scheduled to arrive until the 16th of December. I'm flying out for my game on the 15th so the Jersey I ordered will not be making the trip. I called their customer service line and explained my predicament to give them a chance to correct the situation. I was told that they are seeing what I'm seeing in regards to the longer shipment. Unfortunately there isn't anything they can do for me besides hoping it would get there sooner. If you have a time sensitive event your ordering sports
Apparel for I'd recommend using a company that cares of your situation. It's definitely not this company.

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.
