Worst company ever
June 4, 2019

Tried to have my orders shipped to my summer mailing address in Blaine Wa., to a retail Mailbox Store. Never had a problem in the past with any company: Maui Jim's, clothesline, etc. This location has been my summer billing address for 17 years.

This time Fanatics and the Basketball Store, both owned and operated by Fanatics refused to ship my orders of Penn St. Wearables to this address. Said they had a security concern. The actual billing was processed, approved and then reversed.

Spoke to numerous people at Fnatics and they said they couldn't reverse the decision not to ship. Have complained to Penn St. Athletic Dept., will see what happens.

Hello Michael, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the decision was made not to ship to that location in the near future. Even though you have been shipping to the same location for years, there may have been previous missing packages going to that same location. Therefore, they will not ship to that location. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Horrible company
May 31, 2019

DON'T Buy from this dishonest company. This company advertised that 2019 Women's World Cup jersey would GUARANTEE to ship no later than May 31st and literally one day before its due to ship on May 30th they send an email stating it won't ship until June 14th. Are you kidding me. This company is intentionally trying to scam its customers and then they offered nothing except to cancel the order after obviously trying to screw customers.

Ripoff Company
May 24, 2019

Company described their iPhone cover that would work on an i7 phone but we received the product and it covered up the camera. Then when we tried to return they charged a crazy amount to return. Definitely a company to avoid. I hope people read reviews before ordering from the lousy company. I wish I could do more than leave this review the company is disgusting.

I ordered multiple shirts all in a size Large. One of the shirts was sent as XL. I was told they would replace the shirt with the correct size and not to return the original as it was under $20. OK fine. A week later I receive my replacement and it is again a size XL. I contacted them and they will return the shirt and gave me a shipping label for a refund. They want both shirts though now and I gave one away. How can they ask for it now? I also do not want a refund as I paid for shipping and do not want to have to pay for shipping again to get a replacement. Work with the warehouse and send the correct size, how hard is that for a reputable company?

Hello Dede, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that your received the wrong size twice. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, you were advised the first time that you could keep the shirt because it was under $20. A request was made and they advised the warehouse that the size was too large. Unfortunately, the item was shipped before they could review the notes. You were advised that at this time there were now two shirts that now totals over $20 and by policy both shirts would need to be returned for a full refund. I understand that you no longer have the other t-shirt thus is why you were refunded for the wrong sized item. A ticket was open to have the item checked in our warehouse because the bin may have been mislabeled. Our site periodically offers free shipping during the week. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Stellar customer service
May 23, 2019

I was having issues placing an order online trying to use codes and needed faster shipping. I called in and spoke with AJ. She is AMAZING. She was completely pleasant, funny, was able to handle my coupon issues, walked me through using shoprunner, helped give me ideas about future items I wanted and was able to get me the item is was looking for today for my son's birthday that is coming up in just a few days. Fantastic customer service at Fanatics. I will definitely be utilizing them for all my sports apparel needs for all the sports "fanatics" in my life!

Excited to order 6 different items, waited through three different new shipping dates, called a few times for information, expressed willingness to continue waiting, email received cancelling all items with no explanation. Only place I can buy the Marlins gear I wanted for my wife and myself. Couple hundred dollar sale lost and clearly no care on the part of Fanatics. Best part, the items are still being sold on their web site.

Hello John, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the order. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, you requested that the order be cancelled due to the delay in shipping. The representative was unable to cancel the order due to it being too far along in the process. However, they submitted a request to our Order Management Team to see if they will be able to cancel the order on their end. The order was cancelled and refunded back 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 this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

Washed out logo
May 20, 2019

I purchased a Washington State Cougars Big & Tall Primary Logo T-shirt (Ash) as a Christmas gift for my son. I really like the fact that Fanatics sells Big & Tall products. BUT since the shirt has been washed several times, the logo is almost completely gone. The size and quality of the shirt are good.

Hi David, we apologize the item's logo is faded after being washed. We see the item was purchased in August of 2018 and unfortunately, we are unable to assist with a replacement or return. We would like to help with placing a new order with a discount. Please contact customer service for assistance and reference the order number provided. We hope this helps. Thanks, Chastity

Always fun to scroll through Fanatics. Also, quick delivery considering the distance.

Bought a Fleece Sweatshirt that fits perfectly and looks good except that the printing of my team logo is way high. It's more than two inches off so the whole thing looks like some amateurs were left in charge of that. Kinda feels like they put all the "accident" shirts on sale and let rubes like me buy them. At least let me know if the merchandise is slightly flawed, might still be interested and feel less like I'm being punked. International buyer so I can't be bothered to ask for a return. I guess be wary about products that are always on sale no matter what. I still like it, because as I said it is a really nice sweatshirt regardless.

Also got myself a Mike Trout shirt that looks and feels great. That one is perfect.

Ordered NHL jersey online; the next day there was a site wide sale. I called them the next business day and was able to cancel the full-price order and change to upgrade to a pro jersey at the sale price. Great customer service and quality, licensed products. I will be buying more from Fanatics in the future!

Hello Matt, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package was undelivered. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Once the packages leaves our facility, it is in control of our international shipping carrier which uses the local postal service in your area. The final delivery was attempted by Canada Post twice and was unable to deliver the package. Please make sure you check the shipping address is correct when placing your orders. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian

#TakeOwnership
May 11, 2019

I ordered a Carolina Hurricanes t-shirt that a wore and washed 3 times before the logo was 98% gone from the shirt. I reached out *******@FanaticsSupport and without debate or pushback they #TookOwnership and refunded my order. Customer service was professional, respectfully, apologetic and they retained me as a customer.

Their shipping is super slow, which I was already annoyed with. Then the product arrived damaged. That's not necessarily the retailers fault, but how they handle the returns is.

I started off trying to return a damaged product. The service rep offered to ship a replacement with expedited shipping, which i initially agreed to. But then she said it would take 3 business days. That doesn't really sound like expedited shipping to me, so I immediately told her to just process it as a refund. She had jumped the gun and processed it as an exchange. I told her to cancel it and I was told that is impossible. That is absurd. It took almost 2 weeks for me to receive my initial order, and you're telling me the replacement shipped within 30 seconds?

Virtually any online retailer is more user friendly. They take longer to ship, have worse customer service/return policies and their prices are no better than their competitors. Why buy from them?

Hello Tim, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item was defective. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have sent a request to our warehouse to cancel the reship. Unfortunately, I am unable to guarantee if this will be cancelled in time. I do show that the Advocate has refunded you for the item back to the method payment. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. However, the return shipping fee has been waived in the case of the item is shipped out to you. You will need to print out a return label and attach it to the package. You can return the item at any local post office. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
