Businesses owe a certain level of care to their customers, and I received absolutely no respect from Fanatics Customer Service. I called on February 18th, 2020 because I never received a package that was shipped on December 31st, 2019. When I called, the customer service person blamed the the postal service for unsuccessfully delivering the package, even though I was given no tracking or shipping information about this during the 2 months that I was waiting for the package. The woman even told me to "calm down" when I simply said how messed up it was that they were not only unapologetic but also not taking accountability for never giving me a package I had paid for. She said that I could get it refunded and didn't even offer an apology or a discount on behalf of all the frustration I had to deal with going through this process. Don't bother wasting your money here.
I wish I had know to review Fanatics before I purchased. Ordered and purchased a jersey on 1/20/20 for Superbowl on 2/2/20. Did not receive it for Superbowl, then they said it would be delivered on 2/4, my birthday. Didn't get it then either. I tried to return it and when I was finally able to click on an active button, they said they don't take returns that were custom or event related. They don't want it after Superbowl, so why would they think I wanted it. Fanatics SUCKS, they ripped me off twice now. What's really bad is that they hide behind other names. I thought I was ordering from 49ers and it turned out to be Fanatics. It took being screwed twice by Fanatics, but I got it this time. I will never do business with them again. They should be closed down

I made the mistake of ordering from this company. I was supposed to get two-day shipping. Item took about two weeks. Fanatics is not trustworthy.
We apologize for any inconveneince regarding your order. After looking into the order we found that you selected the free shipping option. This option takes 3-7 business days for delivery. Not 2 business days. The item you selected had a 2 business day processing time before being shipped. This information was noted on our website at the time of purchase and again on your Order Confirmation that we sent you via email. According to your tracking information, your package will be delivered tomorrow, which will be the 6th business day from when the order shipped on February 10th. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a bunch of Superbowl apparel that said it would ship the next day. Superbowl was 2 weeks away so i thought that it would make it on time but nothing was delivered. I'm still waiting.
Hello Jennifer, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry you haven't received all of your items. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction.

Sincerely, Julian
It'll cost 10.00 to exchange anything if your gift doesn't fit. You maybe at best get back 60% of what you paid. Returns aren't just a size swap but a return & you must re buy. So any sale price is no longer. Plus you loose $$$$

I ordered an egiftcard and the website said it could take up to 2 hours only. I call customer service after going in circles with getting the please see FAQ all reps are busy.

Purchased a long sleeve college shirt after my team won their bowl game. The picture looked great, price was ok but I was willing to take a chance. I had a good deal with free shipping. The shirt came fairly quickly. The quality was awful. It was thin/cheap material, screen print was not high quality as depicted, and barely big enough. I had ordered a size larger than normal just in case. One wash and it would have been too tight. I conbtaced to get a refund and they did respond. Refund was processed quickly but they charged $10 for a return fee. I would not order again and would avoid at all cost.

I ordered 2 items supposed to be her more than a week before Christmas, only received shipping info one one. Called a couple days before Christmas and told them i wanted to cancel the item i didn't get but they assured me it would be there by Christmas eve. Still didn't receive. Couldn't get through by phone, no way to e-mail so i disputed by pay-pal and since they provided a tracking # they wouldn't refund and now i still don't have my second item. I will never order from them again and have made sure everyone i know wont either.
Hello Sarah, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you didn't receive your package. Unfortunately, I was unable to local an order with the order number that you provided. Can you please private message me your email address? Sincerely, Julian
Long story short, I ordered 2 items and 1 of them was a customized tumbler for a soldier serving overseas and the local post office lost my package and didn't seem to care at all (still haven't received it by the way). The amazing representatives at Fanatics kept in touch with me to stay updated on the situation and even mailed me out a replacement and I greatly appreciated that. It wasn't their screw up but they rectified the situation anyway.
Hello Kennee, 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 look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Julian
Still haven't received T-shirt purchased on January 24still waiting. I will use amazon as use actually get what you order.
Hello Brian. We are very sorry it is taking so long to receive your order. It was shipped on January 31st and it looks like FedEx has your delivery date as February 13th, which is past the delivery timeframe for the shipping method you have. Again, I apologize that it is taking so long. Sincerely, Karmen
While I've ordered plenty of items off if fanatics, it is nearly impossible to get an authentic Adidas St. Louis Blues Jersey and I don't want the cheap fanatic jersey. All the Adidas jerseys say they are almost gone. If they are the prime dealer if nhl items they should have plenty if all items and if not they should be restocking. Also issues with Adidas and the NHL, if they are in partnership shouldn't their website sell more than 20 items if NHL? They seen more interested in basketball? Last i know they aren't the primary jersey supplier for the NBA.
We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the item you want to purchase. However, we do not have a specific date or time items will be restocked. We ask that you check back on the website from time to time to see if the item has been restocked. Sincerely, Karmen
I purchased 3 49er jerseys from this company 2 years ago and one was to small for my wife so I tried to return it. The reply I got from their service department was (in very broken English) please keep it and we will give you $10 off your net order. REALLY? I didn't want it because it wouldn't fit. Then this year the 49ers were in the playoffs and again I ordered from Fanatics, because that now seems to be the NFL ordering site, and the product quality is very very cheap. I can't stand this company and they seem to have gotten all the business for the NFL and MLB. WTF?
We apologize for any inconveneince regarding your current order. As a one-time only courtesy, we have waived the return fees so you can return the items for a refund. Please visit the Help Desk on our website to initiate your return and print out a pre-paid return label. Please be advised that the return fees have been waived on our end but will still show on the return label as we do not have a way to remove that information. The return label is pre-paid. You will not be charged to use it and we will not deduct the return fee from your refund. Sincerely, Karmen
Hello All,
Sorry I have been absent for a while. I had a lot going on with a move and a new job. In any case I recently have had good luck with fanatics.com. I ordered several things off their sight for christmas and now some birthdays. Every shirt and item I have received was very good quality. They may be on sale but they don't sacrifice quality. Also there shipping is prompt and I even made a mistake on my address. I meant to ship the item to my dads house in NY. Instead I chose my house in Florida. I called them up as soon as I recognized the issue. They fixed it right away and even shipped the item to NY early. So far these guys get 5 stars from me.
Hi John! Thank you for reaching out! We are grateful for the positive feedback and that everything with your orders was satisfactory! We look forward to serving you for all your sports needs. Sincerely, Tina
I needed an item by a particular date, and I was told by Wyatt Zellar that he would be able to fulfill and overnight the item in order to get it to me (still estimating this would take one full week). Then, on the date of the promised delivery, I get an email with tracking info saying it will arrive three days later. When I called to ask about this, I was repeatedly hung up on by various reps (including Jeremy who listened to me for a bit then just hung up). I finally was able to get through and leave a voicemail for Wyatt, which was not returned. This is a company I would have used again and again... but after this experience I can only say: STAY AWAY FROM THEM. There are so many great resources on the internet that I'll simply use another next time. And I recommend that others do the same.
Hi Peter, thank you for reaching out. We truly apologize for the issues you have been caused and we thank you for the opportunity to make this right. The feedback provided has been sent to the appropriate department for further review, as we are always looking for ways to improve the online shopping experience for our Fans. Thank you, Chastity
On January 26,2020 I purchased a Item Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers Fanatics Authentic Framed 10" x 18" Vertical Photo Collage with Team Used Basketball- Limited which was the day of the accident. It was limited 250. The on January 28,2020 I received an email stating that the order was canceled. Fanatics canceled the order due to the accident and refunded my paypal. If they didn't want to sell the item, then they should not have had it listed on their website. Fanatics canceled my order 2 days after the PayPal transaction took place. I've ordered from Fanatics and never had an issue until now. They did not run out of the item.
I do not have an order number as I have cleaned out my email inbox. In place of the order number I used the PayPal transaction ID.
Hello Pauline, you were able to place an order in anticipation of us being able to fulfill it. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand, we whole heartedly apologize that we cannot fulfill the order to remember this great athlete. We hope for the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Thank you, Chastity
I ordered 4 shirts as Christmas gifts. 2 of them were the same shirt, different sizes. Only 3 shirts were in the box that arrived (missing one of the 2 shirts that were the same). Fanatics (shop.acc.com) refused to refund the shirt they did not ship! Do NOT buy from them.
They shipped me the wrong size hoodie. They refused to return or refund me. Stay away from them! Customer service here SUCKS!
We are very sorry if you have received the wrong size. Please respond back to this to let us know what size you did receive so that we may assist you further. Sincerely, Karmen
I placed an order for a gift card for my son. I needed to cancel this because he already had the items I was ordering for him. When I called to cancel I was told that I was unable to because the card had already been email to him. I ask if the card could be cancelled as it had not been used. Answer was no. I'm sure there is a way they can cancel a gift card before it is used to refund my purchase. I will not be using this site again. We wary.
Hello Howard, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about not being able to cancel the gift certificate. Once the order has been placed, it is non-refundable. On our site, it mentions that these items are final sale and cannot be cancelled, changed, returned or refunded after order has been placed. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

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

We apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. Your package was returned to us as undeliverable to the address entered when the order was placed. The apartment/unit number was missing so the carrier had to return the package to us. When this happens it is our policy to issue a full and complete refund for the order when the package is received back in our warehouse. Especially when the original item is no longer available. We sent your Shipping Confirmation to the email address that was used to place the order. They sometimes have a tendency to be delivered to the junk folder. I am sorry about that. For the inconvenience you experienced, I have sent you a discount code via email. Please be sure to check your junk folder for that as well. Sincerely, Karmen
