I mistakenly ordered the wrong color football jersey. But I did not know they considered it a custom order so I cannot return it even though I reordered the correct color! An expensive mistake! Look elsewhere for sports products if you can!
I recently paid PAC 12 official online store $64.99 for a hoodie + a "handling fee" $110 with add-on items. Fanatics "handled" my merchandise to an unscrupulous 3rd party economy delivery party and they left it out in public and it wasn't there when I got home from work. Later, I felt unlistened to, uncared about, and even unnecessary waiting from a petty customer service agent. Bottom line, I will buy from Amazon in the future because their locker locations provide merchandise security.
Good Morning, Bradley. I apologize for the service received. Please give me the chance to review this issue for you. Please send me an email at customerfirst@fanatics.com. Thank you, Maribell
Never ordering for this company again. It took over a month for them to send me my order! So upset.
I am truly sorry for your experience Alysia. Upon review of the order, I can confirm the item was a special event item that had a scheduled shipping date. For further assistance, please send an email to customerfirst@fanatics.com. Thank you, Maribell
I ordered a Dallas Cowboys jacket on
November 7,2021 and they said I would receive it on the 17th but I have not received it, every time I call they give me the run around and nobody can tell me when I will get my order it was supposed to be a birthday gift for my husband but his birthday has passed. Would you please tell me when I will receive my order. Thank You

I tried to purchase several items on this site and eventually gave up. After ordering one item and creating an account, as requested so I could qualify for cash back to use on future purchases, I was sent an email telling me I would get 20 percent off my entire next order. This turned out to be false. I got nothing. The email did say "*exclusions apply," but that asterisk referred to no explanatory text about what the exclusions were either in the email or on the site. When I picked out eight more items and went to pay for them, I found that none of them had received the promised 20 percent off. There was no explanation. I searched high and low and found under the heading "Worry Free Shopping" (hah!) a list of disclaimers that said COUPON codes could not be applied to sale items (a familiar bait-and-switch tactic), but sale items were not listed among the exclusions for percentage-off promotions like this one. One agent, apparently unaware of how her own site worked, sent me a coupon to use to get the promised 20 percent off, but, as I discovered after reviewing the Worry Free Shopping provisions, no coupon can be applied to sale items (mine were all marked down a bit). It was at this point I was promised a call back from a supervisor, which never came, and the next agent (the fifth I'd spoken to) said they never do call-backs. Be sure to shop at Fanatics if you want to be misled, frustrated and disappointed. A certified bait-and-switch merchant.
I apologize that you have experienced hardship in placing this order. Please be sure to check your email as I have reviewed your order and have reached out to you directly.

I had an issue with my order, which was actually a problem created by FedEx, and I spoke to Tracie from Fanatics on the phone and she assured me the issue would be corrected and then she followed up with great email communication. My problem was resolved and my purchase is awesome.
Hello James. 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, Karmen
Order a hoodie day it comes out... keep pushing the delivery day back then get email saying no longer available... then offer me a crappy 25% off coupon... maybe just maybe I collect the hoodies I buy.
I apologize that your order delivery date was pushed back. Please send your order details to customerfirst@fanatics.com so that we may assist you further.

Out of my 5 orders two were wrong. First one they sent me the completely wrong jersey and the second time the name was sewn on backwards. If they didn't own everything sports clothing related I'd order from somewhere else
CJ, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We would love a chance to make this right. 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, Jessica
Issues arise sometimes from online ordering. I had an issue with my order that sent it to the wrong address and I was unable to retrieve my package. Shakira in customer service assisted me from start to finish in resolving this problem. Thank you so much!
Good Morning, William. I am truly sorry there was initially an issue. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. Thank you, Maribell
DO NOT ORDER! I placed an order Nov 1st as my husband and I were planning to attend a football game on the 13th and were promised the items by a certain date. As time passed on, the order was then divided into two shipments. We received the first shipment in a reasonable timeframe. The second order showed that it would arrive before the first shipment. That Thursday before the game I called fanatics just wanting to cancel the order. I was told that I could not cancel it at the time, but instead they would send a cancellation ticket and at that point I would receive an email in a 72 hour period. Doesn't make sense, but okay. We go to the game and come back, and I decide to call back again in hopes of cancelling this order. The person on the phone basically called me a liar and stated that I was not told the details of what I was explained & told me if I wanted help to hang up and call back. I honestly wish I would have caught his name because the gentleman should not be in a customer service environment with that attitude. I then call back and a lady helped me. I explained my frustrations and she listened and was able to push the cancellation through so I thought. I receive an email hours later saying that it could not be cancelled, but they would waive the return fee once I received the item and I could send it back. The next day I get an email that they were unable to fulfill my order so now I have to wait 7 business days for a refund. HAD THEY CANCELLED MY ORDER WHEN I ASKED THEM TO, this would have been a better solution. I think it is complete BS not being able to cancel the order. Just say you're broke and need a loan, instead of holding on to people's money knowing you can't fulfill and order. RANT OVER!
Fanatics why would you hire a person this rude and unprofessional! I will not be a returning customer!
To start with the default shipping is expedited so if you don't notice it you pay for something you don't want. Second I placed three orders two expedited one regular delivery. The regular delivery came before the expected extra cost items. One was 4 days late it has now been seven days and the third has yet to show up. I called customer service to find out what's up and they told me I had to call the delivery company. Their customer service said there was some kind of problem but didn't know what it was. I don't know why I have to call them to find that out instead of them notifying me. Their tracking site says it is due to be delivered yesterday. Completely unhappy with both companies.
Good Morning, John. I am truly sorry for your experience. I would like to review your issue. Please send me an email confirmation to customerfirst@fanatics.com. I look forward to speaking with you. Sincerely, Maribell
If you have a problem with your shipment and Paid with PayPal, don't expect a full refund. You'll end up paying for that expedited shipping you likely added even if you never receive your items. Won't ever make that mistake again to order from this company!
CK, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. Looking at the order it shows that you will receive a full refund for your order. If you have any questions or concerns please email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number and name, we will be happy to assist. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Jessica
I purchased the "Atlanta Braves New Era 2021 World Series Champions Locker Room 9FORTY Adjustable Hat - Graphite." Item was as described and delivered 5 days early (Although still slow). Hat is very nice. I would recommend Fanatics based on my personal experience with them. One thing I would like to see is faster shipping. Hat came packed in a box, which preserved the hat throughout its journey. Based on this I would recommend Fanatics to others!
Hello Dwight. 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, Jessica
Yesterday I allowed myself to be ripped off in the purchase of a hat. The hat - $21.99. After beginning the process of checking out, which displayed the details of the charges I was outraged. Shipping - $14.99, handling fee- $1.99, tax (including shipping) - $3.12. There was no option to modify the shipping. I took a long look at this and finally in anger, completed the purchase. I will never order from this company again.
Carol, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We would love a chance to make this right. 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.

I ordered a jersey for attending a Thursday night NFL game (Miami v Baltimore), paid extra for 1 day delivery, 1 wk later, no jersey. LaserShip, the local delivery company, had the Jersey for 4 days and failed to deliver it. Their ratings are extremely low for late deliveries. Why does Fanatics continue using this service? Poor management. Game Day Bust!
Order 2 Real Madrid jersey over 2 months ago, they took my money but they don't have items. It's 11/5/21 they'd still can't get my stuff and there solution is to refund after all this time. BS! Isn't taking people money for something you don't have Fraud?!?
Good morning, Manuel. This is unacceptable. I will be happy to look into this for you. Please send the order details to customerfirst@fanatics.com. Thank you, Maribell
I ordered a Jersey to Canada and it arrived on time. It was too large and I tried to initiate a return. The website told me it was taking longer than expected and that they would email me. That email has not come. If you're in Canada do not order from them. Look elsewhere.
Don't go cheap or free shipping if you want it within 2 weeks. They pay FedEx the minimum so your packages just sit in their warehouses for days at a time. And Fanatics offers ZERO customer service. Worst company to deal with when you expect 3-7 days and it's been 2 weeks. Terrible service. FedEx is terrible too.
Buyers beware the shipping costs are high and they even charge a separate handling charge. Also, if you need to return the items they will charge you $9.99 for the label, unless you chose to get a e-gift card to their store. So, I paid $56 (taxes/shipping/handling) and am only receiving $38! Back in return. Use a different site!
Your business is truly important to us. I do apologize for the experience you have had. I have reviewed your order and see that the item you purchased was sent to a third-party warehouse to be fulfilled which is why you were charged for handling. I do not see that we have had any returns on this order to deduct any return fees, we will be more than happy to discuss the rest of the concerns on your order and make this right for you today! Please reach out to us at Customerfirst@fanatics.com so we can resolve your issue.

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
Hello Patty. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. As a courtesy, we have emailed you a pre-paid return label to return the item for a refund. Please be sure to check your spam folder for the email. Sincerely, Karmen
