The wrong item was delivered. In the meantime my item sold out. So now I'm supposed to jump through all these hoops to return the wrong item for my refund. Beyond absurd. Worst customer service I've ever dealt with.
*******397 here is the phone number to this terrible company fanatics. Hope the owner Mr. Rubin rots in hell for taking advantage of people.
Hello Bruce. We do sincerely apologize for limitation in stock and the quality of the item. We have sent the return label for your convenience and waived the return fee so a full refund is issued for the item. We do advise you check back for the availability of the item. Do not hesitate to reach back out if there is any further assistance we can provide. Thanks Deannaa.
I ordered a T-shirt as a gift one week ago. I paid for 5-7 day shipping and got my confirmation email saying it would take TWO weeks to get to my house. I contacted the company and spoke with Luis, and he "updated" my shipping so that I would get the gift in the time that I paid for. After updating my shipping, I got a confirmation email that the order would take even longer, three weeks, to get to me. The order is going from Las Vegas to San Diego. I have been tracking the package and it has been traveling AWAY from my house. For reference, you could WALK to Vegas 4 times in three weeks from my house. I'm disappointed because I tried to remedy the situation so I could get the gift on time. Instead, the company made the situation worse, they even made me pay for updated shipping. I have no idea why shipping is such a problem for this company, but I can tell you I would never order from this company again. The only reason this upsets me is because this was supposed to be a gift for a friend, and it will no longer get here in time. I will be cancelling my order, ordering from a different company, and demanding a refund
Hello Chloe, we have messaged you to further assist. Thanks Deannaa.
I ordered a pair of shoes. I know when you order such items you expect a little size issue since it is S, M, L but as a size 6 women a size S (5-6) should be pretty close. These look like clown shoes on my feet. They are way too big. Fine, I'll just return them! Oh but I get to pay a $10 fee to return something that should have fit if advertised correctly. I'm so sad. Now I'm stuck with shoes that don't fit because I'm not wasting my time to only get half my money back.

I have ordered from Fanatics a few times because they have reasonably priced gear with lots of selection for big guys.
Recently I had a shirt that had an issue, and Fanatics replaced it immediately.
Great customer service. Great selection.
Hello Lowell. 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.
Terrible company to deal with and now a former nike exec is at the helm. It will only get worse. Terrible customer service, terrible experience, terrible at every turn. Do not be deceived..
Hello Bob, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the shipping policy process. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, you wanted to update the shipping address but it was too far along in the process. Unfortunately, a change of address can only be process after an attempt has been made to make the delivery. If the package still make it to the original destination, a reship can be processed to the desired location. Please contact after 10/1/2019 if the package has not been delivered. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
The representative who addressed my problem is named Donna and she was amazing! She was so professional dealing with a rather complex return and purchase order never losing her patience and going the extra mile to resolve the issues. I wish there were more Donna's in the world! Please give her a commendation; she really deserves it. Sincerely Rosemary DuBray
Thank you for reaching out Rosemary! We are excited to see our representative provided world-class assistance in an effort to ensure we are still providing ongoing satisfaction as our it is one of our core values. We can't wait to hear from you again! Thanks Deannaa.
I ordered a jersey and T-shirt and received the final confirmation the same day. My order ends up getting canceled without me knowing meanwhile it was a bday present. I didn't get an email or follow up. I had to call and see what happens and they said they canceled my order. I had it replaced and she promised me overnight and said it should arrive Monday by noon. I check the email and it states Tuesday. I don't like being lied too and don't like this horrible service.
Hello Mohamed, thank you for reaching out. Upon further review of the order, the representative provided no false information. The order was placed and expedited and expected to arrive no later than Monday by noon, based off of the method she provided for your delivery. The order was not authorized in time to ship out today, however, we will ship it once the facility open the next business day and will be delivered the following business day. We apologize for the inconvenience and we assure you we will work to have your order delivered the next business day by noon from shipment. Please feel free to message us if there is any further assistance we can provide. Thanks, Deannaa.
Cristin rocks! Cristin provided me with excellent customer service! She is the best and deserves a raise
Hello Alex, 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
I bought two collage t-shirts and just received them this week. When I opened the bag, I pulled out two t-shirts that looked like someone bought at a dollar store and tried their hand at t-shirt printing. Just awful and junk. Really bad. The company claims it is an logistics expert and makes times quickly on demand. Hardly the truth. I ordered my t-shirts before college football season started and I got them this week. They are full of it and this company is bordering fraudulent. Do not buy from them. I will just go to the college book store and buy things there in the future. I will know what I am getting and truly on demand.
Hello John, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you was unsatified with the quality of the shirts. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The items shipped from our Florida warehouse. Due to inclement weather, they were forced to shut down for a few days. The items in question were made on demand and usually should only take up to 3 business days to make. Because of the delay it cause the items to be shipped late out to our customers. If you would like to return the item, I have waived the return shipping charge. You will need to print out the return label from our website. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Horrible delivery response and customer communication. Ordered a jersey for express delivery and received 6 days past due date.
Don't purchase anything from these shysters if you want it on time.
Just disrespectful.
Hello Ken, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package wasn't delivered as expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, your order was place on 9/9/2019. Due to inclement weather the fulfillment center was forced to shut down for a few days. However, it didn't change the shipping method that was chosen at the time the order was placed. Standard ground 3 to 7 business days shipping was chosen. But as the order was placed prior to the shut down, the shipping method was upgraded to meet the deadline of 7 business delivery. The package is scheduled to be delivery today 9/18/2019 as promised. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I asked for an faster shipping option and Fanatics gave me an expedited shipping benefit at no extra cost. I couldn't believe it! You have made me one happy customer who will be back time and time again!
Hello Michelle, 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

Unfortunately, they only show label created and no movement on the tracking. Due to the continues issue on the shipment, I have fully refunded you back the remaining amount to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration. Sincerely, Julian
Product is the wrong size, return fee is $10. $10 down the drain, I've ordered tons of things from them they just lost my business.

These people are terrible it's all in Florida and it takes forever because they're too cheap to manage their inventory. Take a lesson from Walmart or Amazon really horrible. The schools that use them should reconsider.

We have spent thousands of dollars with Fanatics in the past, and were planning on continuing in the coming months - but based on the most recent order won't be returning customers.
Ordered customized jerseys and confirmed the shipping/arrival date with customer service representative when placing the order.
Received an email with an updated arrival date that was weeks passed the promised arrival. Contacted multiple customer service representatives - each time hearing the same response "sorry, must have been a new agent you spoke with, there's nothing we can do". When escalated the response was "we can offer a discount on your order if you decide to return."
Great customer service is a choice, and it's what promotes customer retention. Have a good attitude, offer alternatives, figure out a way to compensate the customer for their time and money.
Unacceptable.
Hello Shelby, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the items hasn't shipped out at this time. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that was purchase are manufacturer direct items. On our site it will show the time frame it will take to complete the order. The item isn't scheduled to be shipped from the manufacturer until on or before 9/27/2019. You were refunded the shipping back to the method of payment. The advocate upgraded the shipping from standard ground 3-7 business days to next business day. Unfortunately, the manufacturer will on ship the package out standard ground. One item was shipped out today and is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. You were offered a discount code to use towards a future purchase which for understandable reason was declined. However, if you would like to take us up on that offer, you can send us an email at [email protected]. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I was having trouble tracking my package and contact the customer service via Twitter. Not only did they contact me almost immediately and help me track my package and very courteous.
Hello Brett, 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
I have spent hundreds ordering from this company, but I suspect I will stop. You will notice on the site this big, bold, white-on-dark print touting a return policy of "Our return process is pretty simple. You can return your merchandise up to 365 days from your ship date." That sounds pretty exact and without exception. But trust me, there is a big one: items shipped directly from the manufacturer must be returned within 30 days. That policy is buried several screens away, and with no hint in the big, exact message that there are exceptions, a buyer is stuck with no recourse to a loophole (or outright lie) to the big bold policy. For me, an early Christmas shopper, this means I cannot return wrong-size gifts because I bought them 30 days before the person received them, tried them on, and found them not fitting. My call to customer service yielded a person who needs a lot of training in customer service and has absolutely no sense of understanding. I was only calling to ask the website be adjusted, not to beg for a return. What I received was over-talk to my conversation and a tone of condescension. I have had better luck buying the same items, new, on auction sites.
Hello Laura, thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear about this experience and would love to work with you to get this resolved. Please reach out to us here via private message and provide your email address and we would be happy to work with you to find out what went wrong with your purchase. Thank you again, we hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Julian
I received a shirt from Fanatics and after washing it once the name and number on the shirt stated to deteriorate. Contacted their customer service and was contacted immediately. After a few hours of messaging back and forth the issue was resolved and was told a new shirt would be in the mail the next day and be at my house in time for me to wear it to my game a few days later.
We are excited to see we are provided world class assistance in an effort to ensure we are still providing ongoing satisfaction as our it is one of our core values. Thanks, Deannaa
I would have given NO Stars if possible! Went to order a shirt from their site with the free shipping code "YARDS" (how would I know that if it wasn't provided at the time), went through PayPal and once the transaction was done there was a shipping charge of $13.99 for shipping. Immediately sent them a response stating to either refund my shipping or cancel the order. Guess what, like everyone one else has stated "NO RESPONSE". Of course the shirt arrived and was not like the photo, so set up for a refund, then they hit you for another $10 in return fees. Total scam site, AVOID IF POSSIBLE! Going through fraud resolution with PayPal against them then will file a dispute with my credit card company!
Buyer Beware!
