Bought several items from here, via my veterans id.me account. First off, ordered ten days ago, and only half of my stuff has arrived. The shirts that did arrive are way to big, and want to return, but they charge me 9.99 to exchange for a smaller size?! Insane! I live in Philly, near the stadiums. Ill just go there and purchase from now on. Im done, with this online retailer, will utilize other that do exchanges should I do this again..
If I could rate no stars
If I could rate no stars, I would! I was treated awful by this company, do NOT believe their web site that they have 365 day easy returns, it is a LIE! They delivered a vest to my son at college, it took several weeks. It was not the right size, so I went to return it thinking, no problem it clearly says 365 day easy returns, NO WAY! It was over 30 days so they would not let me return it, is that 365 days, NO! So, I called customer service, the lady was so stupid and so rude, she screamed at me so I asked to speak to a manager, I spoke to Tamara and she was just as bad, she raised her voice and was also RUDE! They didn't help me at ALL! They were awful! They lost a customer for life! Do not buy from them! They are crooks! They treat customers like trash and they lie! It says Commited to total customer satisfaction, that is another LIE!

Never purchasing anything from this company again. Wanted to exchange a shirt for a larger size. The only way to do this is to return the original shirt and pay a 9.99 shipping fee! Then rebuy the shirt and pay for shipping again. I buy almost everything online and I've never paid to exchange my items. This stire policy is terrible and will never purchase anything from here again. I'm now stuck with a too small shirt because I refuse to return it to them. I have three adult males in my family who are sports fanatics. I'll have to buy their items elsewhere in the future. Unfortunate for the company!

Merchandise was missized and cheaply made as well as looked cheap. Refund policy has taken over 14 days and still waiting. Customer Service was unhelpful and incapable of resolving issue.

THERE SO MANY DIFFERENT RUDE CUSTOMERS AT FANATICS I HAVE DEALT WITH... They seem to not care about there customers, they have LIED to me and many of my friends. They Make false promises and NEVER DELIVER. They say that the item will ship and doesnt for a month or two later. When i was try to ship my package to a Mail box drop location since i live in Vancouver BC i was told i couldnt ship to this shipping address and they wouldnt allow me to do it, then i have had MULTIPLE FRIENDS who indicated that there accounts were "HACKED" and multiple orders were being sent to multiple people... URGH Fanatics needs to be taken down

Placed an order for Father's Day in plenty enough time to receive in time. The perfect gift for Father's Day, they say. My order is just now shipping. Ridiculous! Will never use Fanatics again. Customer service was crap as well. Not helpful at all.
Hello Beverly, we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. We would like to discuss this with you further and see what we can do to help. Please reach out to us here via private message and we can discuss your order further. Sincerely, Cayla
Ordered online June 5th, stated on their website I could order that day and delivery would be to me by June 17th with standard shipping. Perfect for fathers day right? Wrong. I received my 1st email stating it was shipped on Saturday June 8th, delivery for the following Saturday via FedEx Ground, since they pick up & deliver Saturdays. I track my shipment yesterday only to find no updated shipping details and the package left Monday June 10th, now tracking shows delivery is set for Wednesday June 19th. I work for a shipping company and from FL to NV is a 5 business day travel, regardless it still won't make it by Sunday. I call to voice my concern, only to be met with a nasty attitude from the young girl. Asked to speak with a supervisor, again voicing my concerns only to be met with "OK". No apologies, no sorry for inconvenience. This was a gift bought for my 10 year old son to give to his dad for fathers day. Had I known it would take so long to get here I would of paid for expedited shipping. I will not be ordering from them again (not that the staff I spoke with gives a crap) and will recommend others to look elsewhere. Customer service is most certainly dead these days.
Hello Sarah, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item is not going to arrive in time. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the package was order on 6/5/2019. But the item was a made on demand item. It takes up 3 business days to make after the order has been order. On our site this is mention in the description page of the item. FedEx doesn't pick up from our facility until the next following business day which would've been 6/10/2019. Due to the method of shipment chosen, it was shipped with the 3 to 7 business days ground shipping from FedEx Smartpost. The seventh business day would've been 6/19/2019. Our site offers other shipping methods to have the package arrive at an earlier date. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I've ordered merchandise a few times from your website, and your sizing is inconsistent. I'm typically a small, and I ordered a medium sweater because of my last ordering experience and it was too small. Too return a size I have to pay for shipping on my end, and am not refunded the original shipping costs either making it very expensive to order clothing from your website, especially when it doesn't fit. It cost me $30 to end up with nothing because I can't figure out what size I am in your clothes. I would order more often if I knew I could exchange sizes without paying crazy shipping costs. You customer service agents have been very helpfu, but I am very nervous to order from your site again.
Hello Emily, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about your return experience. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, it shows that the items were fully refunded back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. I will make sure to share your concerns regarding return procedure in the future. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julain
Cannot return order
Cannot return order - Website says order number doesn't exist, customer service robot says to go back to website, and I cannot get in contact with human customer service.
I now have to refute this charge through my credit card company instead.
I will never use Fanatics again.

Bought a sweatshirt for my granddaughter. It was so small that I returned it. Company said they gave it to charity and kept my money because my order was over a year old. Scuse me? I had ordered the product 5 weeks before. Customer Service was a joke and I told them I would be writing bad review wherever I could. What a ripoff of a company to do business with.
DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH FANATICS!

I bought a pair of chicago bears running shoes, and after 1 wash the lace snapped. Contacted customer service. They told me i would have to return the shoes altogether. I live in CANADA and this pair of shoes is all I have.so sending the chicago bears laces was too difficult for them. Also bought numerous 2xl jerseys and they dont fit properly. Tight in the armpits when extending arms in any position and they also krinkle in the chest area making them very uncomfortable to wear. After spending thousands of dollars youd think they would have just shipped me the $2 laces, they dont believe in taking care of their customers

So, I ordered a shirt for my husband and (counting shipping) it came to $45. The shirt was fine but a bit too big for him. I go to return it and they charge me an almost $10 return fee! I think it's beyond ridiculous that for a $45 purchase I will only be getting $29 back. This is so sneaky. Im done with Fanatics!
Hi Desiree, thank you for reaching out about your issue. We have sent you an email advising of the next step. We hope this helps! Sincerely, Chastity
Bought 6 items (including 3 shirts size XL). 2 of them fit, one didn't. Went to return the $30 shirt and found out "easy/365 returns" and "100% satisfaction guarantee" actually means $9.99 to ship back. Absolutely absurd. I even tried chatting with customer service first to avoid having to post a negative review but there was nothing they could do. Just lost a customer for life and will be sure to spread the word about my experience... hope the $9.99 was worth it...
We'd like to help you with this John. Please send us a private message with your order information and we'd be happy to look into for you. Thanks, Chastity
I recently ordered several hundred dollars worth of items from Fanatics. One of the items was of very poor quality and I received authorization to return it. Got an email from the company confirming that they received the return and would issue a refund promptly. More than a month later, nothing. Repeated attempts to contact their customer service department have been ignored. NEVER will do business with Fanatics again.

Please send us a message with your order number or email address used to place the order and we'd be happy to research your purchase with us. Thank you, Chastity
Order his and hers t-shirts for a up coming baseball game. After to 9 days to reach my FedEx location after 12 days of waiting package was returned, due to my unit # was on the address line and they could not find the address... not even a phone call to verify. I had to call them and the customer service could had cared even less. Very rude and did not attempt to help the issue out. I will never order from them

Rosie in Jacksonville needs a raise. She made sure I was able to apply a discount and had very friendly customer service.
Thanks for the feedback, Krystal!
Ordered pricey hats as a gift for my kid and all went well until the tracking showed invalid address/UnDeliverable return to sender/origin. Tried contacting fanatics they double triple checked my address which is very much valid and have never had a delivery issue in the last five years I have been living in the complex. I was advised to contact the shipper "Landmark" absolutely horrendous. There is no one to answer the phone so I left a message, two messages and also wrote them an email... a week later still no response no communication whatsoever. I could go pickup at their hub, arrange pickup or even provide a different address but off course that can only be done if there is some type of communication. All I can think now I hope my refund comes as fast as they took the money off my card.

I ordered a house sign as a gift, but it came too late and damaged. When I went on the website to find out how to return it, I found that they would charge $9.99 for the return shipping label. This left me with a refund of about $8. I went to their customer service area and the "live chat" was not available. I do not have time to sit on the phone about this, but am very unhappy. Why did I ever order from them? Also got a collapsible clothes hamper which came separately in a huge box. The item was in a dirty plastic bag.:-( My graduation gifts were a bust!
Hello Elaine, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item arrived damaged. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have waived the return shipping fee. It is our policy that if an item is damaged, that the fee should be waived. You can go to our return center and print out a return label. The label can be attached to the packaged and returned to any local Post Office. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
