The last 2 orders have been horrible as I initiated returns in both cases; in the first case my label was supposedly never activated and it took me a month of correspondence with fanatics and the post office. After a month of chasing a return (that was supposed to be an e certificate) I was finally refunded by the fanatics team to my original payment method and charged the return shipping. I just initiated another return this one is being tracked in the system however was also requested as an e-certificate which is supposed to be almost instant when the package is picked up (I was looking to repurchase a different size) but tracking is indicating it is being credited to my account once again which means again I am paying for the return and now I have to wait up to 10 days for the credit. I tried to chat with customer service but that is not an actual thing, you cannot get to an agent it just points you to an FAQ. Come on Fanatics, do better.
I had to sift through many pages on the site to even find a "contact us" phone number. They encourage you to use the online chat function, however, there are never any agents available to help you. I called to see where my order is when it reached 7 days of sitting in the warehouse to be picked up, they said I would be refunded on the 3rd. Now 11 days later, I called back because I ordered this jersey for a game on the 7th and it still has not moved. They say now that I would be refunded on the 6th. They sent me a 30% off coupon that I will not be using - oh yes and right now they have a 65% off deal on the site so I would be stupid to use a 30% coupon code versus the 65%. I am clearly not getting my Jersey so I just want my money back.
I ordered a women's XL Astros baseball jersey on 10/26/2021. I paid 18.95 for 2 day expedited shipping. I received my order on 10/31. This jersey is a joke. There is no way possible this is a women's XL. It looks like a kids size. Very disappointed. I will be returning this product. What a joke... now I am also out the expedited shipping I paid and a return label fee of 9.99. I will not order from this company AGAIN!

I needed a college sweatshirt to celebrate ED application day, so I selected something on Fanatics site that was listed as "In Stock and Ready to Ship" and paid $17 extra for express shipping. The next day I received my order confirmation, check on it using their "track order" system and it said it was scheduled for delivery in SEVEN WEEKS! I contacted customer service (boy, that's not easy) and they told me this was because they needed "time to produce it". So, they're selling pre-orders but representing them as items that already exist in inventory. VERY shady business practices. I have requested a refund and we'll see how long that takes. If a company needs you money in advance to produce goods, that's one thing... but if they need to advertise it falsely as being "in stock and ready to ship" in order to get your money, that's fraud! Sitejabber's photo upload isn't working, but I do have screenshots showing it as "In Stock - Ready to Ship", my order date of 10/28, their estimated delivery date of 12/14, and the chat transcript where their agent says to me "We need additional time in order to produce it and ship it out and currently are experiencing some massive delays". Note they still need "TO PRODUCE" their "IN STOCK" item. False advertising. Delays, pandemics, shipping apocalypses, etc. aside., they have control over how they advertise things on their website. I will never purchase anything from them again. I don't feel like funding the "pre orders" for a company that expects me to invest in their inventory because they cannot.
Buying beware. They send you stuff that doesn't fit and if you try to return it with their shipping label it costs almost as much as the item itself. Total rip-off.
Hello Tak, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. I have waived the return label fee, if you have any questions or concerns you can email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com. We would like the chance to look at this further and completely resolve this for you. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Jessica
Paid $44 for a quarter zip. The company sent an email that my product was delivered and gave me the tracking number. No delivery of the item. No human will respond at this company. It puts you through a useless chat do-loop. I contacted my credit card issuer and they refunded me the money. Don't be fooled by the nice school logos and their official sounding status as the school's trusted online merchant. They are a very untrustworthy company.
Good Morning, Bud. I apologize for the inconvenience. The order details provided are not one from our store. I will be happy to look into this further for you. Can you please send me an email at customerfirst@fanatics.com? I look forward to assisting you, Maribell.
This company does not give credit back to your credit card when something does not fit. They insist on giving you store credit; when I insisted that they put the money back on my card, they charged a $10.00 service fee; Additionally, they charge way too much for the FSU shoes and other college gear. I won't EVER use them again.
I accidentally selected the wrong method of shipping. One call and the situation was corrected immediately. More importantly, the representative to whom I spoke offered friendly and exceptional customer service.
Thank you so much for the feedback! We are so happy to hear that you had such a great experience with your most recent order with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know about your positive experience.
Great website for any sports fan. They have one of the biggest selections of sporting apparel I've seen. They run sales often and usually have a code you can use for free shipping. I'd recommend it.
Hello Mousy. 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
They charge $9.99 to process a return shipping that costs them a couple bucks. Talk about being a customer unfriendly company! Never seen any other online business rip off customers like this.
Received birthday sweat shirt bought from Fanatics. Fit was 2x tagged size.
Wanted to exchange for smaller size.
Rep told me Fanatics doesn't exchange, only return and refund. Imagine that!
I agreed to return for a gift certificate. I have the rep my contact information to facilitate return and credit.
Received mailing label instantaneously. But, you won't believe this. Fanatics sent the credit back to the gift giver - not to me the gift recipient!
Giver went through the trouble.and ordered shirt in smaller size.
Replacement shirt will take 2+ weeks before I receive it. The Gift now will be received 10 or so days past my birthday.
Fanatics doesn't seem to be able to handle single consumer orders.
I recommend finding a different merchant and not Fanatics.
Good in my story - customer rep was very nice.
Hello, I purchased a product from Fanatics on Sept. 12th still haven't received as of 10/20/2021 the tracker says I will not get it until Nov. Trying to email or call and talk with someone is impossible. You can't cancel or get a refund or even get a credit NOTHING!
We had an awards event. And only had two days to get our order in for the event. Brittany expedited the order and the event was a huge success! They are rock stars!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad to hear the event was a success.

I ordered a hat and paid expedited shipping to wear it on a particular day. I received the wrong hat. I cannot find a phone number or email to get in touch with them. They have a virtual assistant that does not understand what I'm talking about. I disputed the purchase with PayPal and days later they still have not responded.
I ordered a pair of shoes on Sept 3.3-7 day shipping my $#*!. It's almost 2 months from my order date and still have NOT received my order. Just more emails pushing it back. Latest is Nov. 9. Cannot get through when I call. Online chat disabled. Do not order from fanatics. I will definitely tell every sports fan I know to steer clear of this mess
Good Morning, Dawn. I am sorry for the delays. I will be happy to look into this for you. Please email me at customerfirst@fanatics.com. Thank you, Maribell.
I received my sweaters fast! Good quality am in love with the quality is more than I expected! Can't wait me and my husband to wear our auburn sweaters this Saturday in Arkansas. Am a happy customer!
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 ordered a Jersey from fanatics on October 3rd and paid for the 1 day shipping. The delivery date was pushed back to October 7th, which is fine i try to be flexible with delivery. By October 9th there was no update on my package and the expected delivery date was still the 7th of October. I finally called the customer support number and the lady who assisted me assured me it would arrive by Monday and i was refunded the shipping expense. However, today is October 14th and there is still no update on my order. I called the customer service number again and the woman who assisted me was incredibly rude and just reassured me that i would receive my jersey in the next two days. I didn't receive a refund or anything. I wouldn't recommend anyone ever use fanatics or any company that goes through them.
I ordered a jersey from Fanatics three weeks ago and just checked the order tracking today. It said they canceled my order. They never sent any email to tell me they canceled it. I called customer service and they said they put a block on my account. They did not tell me why, but they took the block off my account and said I can re-order the jersey. The jersey has been sold out for over a week now. I waited 3 weeks for this and now have to wait until they can re-stock it. There was no reason to cancel my order and they should at least tell me that they canceled it.
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
Good Morning, Carrie. I apologize for your experience. I will be happy to look into this issue for you. Please send me an email at customerfirst@fanatics.com with both order details. Thank you, Maribell
