I received a t-shirt for Christmas in a women's XL. The shirt I received was very small. It might have fit a child who wore an XL. I returned the shirt using fanatics return process. This cost me $12; half the cost of the shirt!
After I posted this review, fanatics.com did refund the entire cost of the shirt. Thank you fanatics.com
This company really does have some customer service issues. I ordered a football jersey for my son and it was too big. Since the company does not do exchanges, I purchased a new jersey in the correct size and returned the other one on the same day. 30+ business days later I had not received a refund. When I called to inquire, customer service said they had no record of my order (either of them) even though I had received the new jersey. The only positive is that the jersey is of good quality but their business model stinks! If you order from them I sure hope you dont have to return anything. I ended up paying 140 for a 70 jersey.
Dana, we are truly sorry that you have not received the refund for this item. We have looked into your order and we have issued a refund for the item that you send back to us. We ask that you please allow 2-10 business days for the refund to process. We ask that you please let us know if there is anything we can further assist you with.
Sincerely, Whitney P,
This company has obvious issues. We had issues in one month with 3 different orders - NHL, NFL, and NASCAR.com orders. (all 3)
Ordered a NASCAR T-shirt and an NFL T-shirt. Was sent wrong one BOTH times. On BOTH occasions was told by cust serv via email that the correct item is not available after the fact. Item numbers didn't mach what was in the bag.
We did get the refund on the one returned item with no problem.
The other item was a gift and the recipient was happy with it. But on this item, it listed as less expensive than the item ordered, but yet we were charged for the more expensive item that was ordered, not the more expensive item that was shipped. To be honest - they did give a $15 credit on our account. But with all the hassles, yet to decide if it is worth it.
On the NHL item, the mistake was definitely mine. But emails to them regarding returning the item were ignored. Never got a reply.
Terrible overall experience.
Richard, we do apologize for the way things have been handled for your orders. We ask that you please send us a private message of each order number along with the issues and we will be more than happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Whitney P.
Yeah, I have a complaint about Fanatics. I ordered from them and their website said choose 3 day shipping and receive your order by 12/23, if not received by 12/23 you can keep the order and you will receive a refund. So I chose the 3 day shipping. So I placed my order on Friday, December 16th and didn't receive it by 12/23. I received it on 12/27. I emailed about it and I was told sorry for it arriving late and that it would be submitted to the Payment Team for the Holiday Guarantee thing. Now I'm being told that my item didn't qualify. Do I need to take this to the BBB for false advertising/fraud?
Hello Nick, thank you for your feed back! We are so sorry for the confusion about your order qualifying for the holiday GTGT promotion. We see clearly that the item was advertised as eligible for this promotion - we appreciate you bringing this to our attention! Your full refund has now been issued and should reflect back to your statement within the next 10 days. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. We value your business and hope to work with you again. Sincerely, Sarah B.
Every company will make a mistake now and then. How that mistake is resolved speaks volumes. I had a late shipped item that didn't make it on time for an important event. Things happen. However, Fanatics credited back the purchase and still shipped the item out. Now that is customer service. Kudos.
Hello Charles, thank you so much for your feedback! We are so pleased that we met and exceeded your expectations when you contacted us after an issue was experienced. We agree that it is not the mistakes but how they are resolved that matter. Thank you so much for your business. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you! Sincerely, Sarah B.
Order championship hat the moment it was available, week later received email that it would be another week until item shipped, and an email would be sent when order shipped. Week later and still no hat and no email that it shipped! Will never order another item from this horrible company! I will just pay more and order directly from team website. Don't recommend using Fanatics! You should be able to rate them a zero. If I could rate them negative#, definitely would. Don't trust them, don't even have a customer service # to call, to get problem resolved!
Hello Zach, thank you for your feedback. Please reach out via private message and provide your order number, full name and e-mail address and we would be happy to look into this further! We are so sorry for any frustration and inconvenience we have caused. We hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Sarah B.
Ordered two items for Christmas. A jacket for my mother that didn't fit. Returned to Fanatics and they charged us a 15% restocking fee. I got sweat pants from my daughter that didn't fit returned them and they donated the sweats to charity because I didn't use the original box.
Hello Troy. We are sorry for any confusion about your return. We think you have have purchased elsewhere as we do not apply any restocking fees to our returns. We do deduct $5.50 if our prepaid return label is used. That fee is simply to cover the cost of the return shipping while we provide a convenient return label with the merchandise. Please reach out via private message and provide your order number and we would be happy to assist further with this issue. We hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
Delivery takes nearly a month! So don't order anything for any specific occasion. They ship the SLOWEST FedEx service known to man. Nice stuff, decent pricing, but a month for domestic delivery? No other retailer takes that long. TERRIBLE!
Hello Elaine, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any frustration we have caused you. We do not see that your packages are going to take a month to arrive. We see the order was placed on 12/28. One of the items was delivered on 1/3 and the other is scheduled to be delivered before the end of the week. We do see that they will both arrive within our advertised time frame. We also see that you did not pay for shipping on this purchase. We do have faster shipping options available for any time a package is needed faster. We are sorry to have failed to meet your expectations. Sincerely, Sarah B.
I ordered gifts for my husband the Monday before Christmas and was given a promotion for 3 days guaranteed shipping. SO I knew they would be here by Christmas. My items did not come till the end of the week after Christmas. So I emailed them and complained. They were nice and said we issued you a refund. I was like WOW that is great customer service, I didn't get my items, I get to keep them and get a refund. So 10 days go by no refund so I contact them, they tell me SORRY we denied the refund, your address was incorrect and your order did not meet the 3 days shipping. WHAT? You issued me a refund, My address was absolutely correct how the post office demands it, and now my order did not qualify. It is a SCAM. I obviously would not have ordered unless I had that shipping. Complete SCAM..
Hello Shavon, thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry for the frustration that this caused you. We have review this order and the notes left and we do not see that there is any reason this refund would be rejected. We have completed the refund as of today (1/9/2016) and it should reflect back to your statement within the next 2-10 business days. Please reach out via private message if there is anything else we can assist you with and we would be happy to help. So sorry again for the frustration we caused you. Sincerely, Sarah B.
I ordered one pair of Blackhawks leggings on December 6, how long does it take to process and receive? When I do the Track the status of my order option, it says my order is "Unfulfilled", I just checked again before submitting this review. I wanted to give this as a Christmas gift, but obviously too late for that.
On Dec 26, I emailed customer service using my confirmation email asking about my order and have received NO response. There was no problem charging my credit card for this item on Dec 9, but my item remains M. I. A.
Terrible service and will never order from them again. I will be putting in a call to my credit card company to dispute charges, this is ridiculous.

I made a last minute order on 12-21 with guaranteed on time delivery and free shipping. Such a deal huh? Nothing was noted about possible drop shipments but 3 of my items still aren't here and it's after new year. No way to speak with anyone who can help. Bad customer service and a risk i wouldn't have taken had i known about the drop shipment angle.
Hello Kris, thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry for any confusion regarding your order. Your package was shipped from one of our Drop Ship Vendors in Manchester, UK. The expected ship date on the item was January 13 so we are so pleased to see that it shipped much earlier than that! Your package can be tracked via the link below:
https://mercury.landmarkglobal.com/tracking/track.php?cid=0876&trck=&refid=66133991259931
We do see that it is still in transit and on it's way! We apologize again for any confusion and welcome you to reach out again if there is anything else we can assist you with. We value your business and hope to work with you again soon. Sincerely, Sarah B.
I placed an order on the December 19th was suppose to receive it on December 23rd. Friday came and I was waiting for my package to arrive never did. I went online to see if I could track it but no tracking number. What I did see was a note saying refunded where the tracking number was suppose to be. The date December 19th same day I placed the order. I never received an email letting me know that they were refunding me. Well to make matters worse I have been emailing them about my refund and till this day no refund. What kind of business is this? They take your money then don't ship out your items and then keep your money.
Hello Vivian. Thank you for your feedback. I apologize that your order was cancelled and refunded and that you were not contacted. The order was cancelled due to a system error we had. Your refund was issued January 2,2017 and will post back to your original form of payment within 2-10 business days. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a lot of things from this website. The order was so wrong and also damaged. I contacted fanatics a few times and they said the would give me a $100 credit, but continued to resend the same product damaged in the same place. They stopped responding to my emails. Never even contacted me about receiving the damaged products back.
Hello David. Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the inconvenience regarding your order. First, I will start with the $100.00. We issued a refund back to your credit card for that.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance. Sincerely, Karmen
Ordered a Nike USC T shirt and a UCLA Arch T Shirt. I can literally buy the 3 T Shirts for $10 on the Venice Beach Boardwalk with better quality. Cheap. Shame on me once, won't happen twice.

I have ordered several times over the years. I have been satisfied with every order so far! I have bought blankets, t shirts, hats, sweat shirts ect! I have had 1 item shipped incorrectly- i emailed them- they corrected my order and gave me a $10 credit! I have never called on the phone- i always email any questions and they respond within 1 day. Mistakes happen, humans error! Most of these negative comments seem to be over exaggerated! This is a great company- and i will continue to do business with them! All quality products and great service! Thank you!
Hello Pam. Thank you for your feedback! Your positive feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to doing business with you in the future. Sincerely, Karmen

Hello Tessa. Thank you for your feedback. We are eager to assist you with your issue but will need for you to provide us with an order number or your email address and name. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a sweatshirt on line on 12/9/17. On 12/12 I got an email saying the order had shipped. When trying to track with Fed Ex, it said a label had been created but that was as far as it went. I called and they said they would track with warehouse. On 12/20, nothing had changed so I called their customer service, talked to a rep named Toundelea, and cancelled the order. This rep assured me my credit card would be credited back within 10 days. On 12/23, they shipped the order. When I contacted them about it, they said I cancelled it too late for them to really cancel the order.
THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS! There are other sports outlets out there that aren't bonafide scam artists.
Hello Margi. Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry for any inconvenience regarding your order. I have waived all return fees so that you can return the item for a refund.

Shame on me 4 thinking a site with all the commercials and volume they do would get something right. I waited till after Christmas cuz I knew they would be busy but 2 days ago I spent 100$ on a couple things plus the 15.99 whatever for 2 day shipping. Well here we are 2 days come and gone and since I can't get a live person I cannot straighten ne thing out. Thus is obserd and ridiculous if u call it 2 day shipping then the 15.99 should get u 2 day shipping. Of course it doesn't matter 2 big company all we are is just pisses ants with no real way 2 fight back and they know that. SMH at this whole process I'm not unreasonable but I paid 4 service and would like service rendered.
Hello N. Thank you for your feedback! I apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. The items you ordered had a 2 business day processing time before shipping. This was noted on the website as "This item ships within 2 business days". Your order did ship the 2nd business day, on December 30th. Since we only ship business days, your order was delivered to you today, which was the 2 business day shipping. We did issue a refund for your shipping charges that will post back to your original form of payment within 2-10 business days. Sincerely, Karmen
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
