Worst Experience Ever
February 16, 2023

This should be zero stars. I ordered a jersey for my Grandson in early December. Received notice that it would be delivered Dec 28th. Never showed up. Got another email saying it would be delayed longer. Then this past Thursday I got an email stating "We're sorry you were unhappy with your order. We are refunding your money". Only NOT ALL of my money. They kept around $8.00? And no explanation. My grandson had been waiting for over a month and they didn't have the courtesy to reach out with an explanation. And where is the rest of my money?

Gouge on return
February 15, 2023

So I purchased a hoodie for one of my son's for Christmas, ordered 3xl because they did not offer 3xl tall, was too short, site brags 365 return, don't tell you it will cost $9.99 or to an e-gift card to a site that obviously doesn't have the size needed hence the return. Will not ever order from again.

Clothing is nothing but garbage! Fanatics and Nike should be ashamed to sell poor quality apparel. Paying high prices for garbage. Quality of apparel has plummeted, from t-shirts to Hoodies. I purchase better quality team apparel at Wal-Mart or Dollar General for half the cost Fanatics/Nike sell their garbage apparel for at unbelievable prices. It used to be quality now since they have acquired so much since it started that the quality they sell to customer's doesn't matter. Fanatics and Nike need to get tips from Gildan on T-Shirts and on hoodies get advice from Champion. I was a loyal customer now I will never purchase anything from Fanatics. The quality of their products has been awful awful awful. NIKE should be ashamed to have their logo on such poor quality apparel. Fanatics has turned into TRASH.

Scam!
February 13, 2023

I ordered and XXL OU hoodie "honoring our troops". When it finally arrived I found it wouldn't even fit a 12 year old and proudly proclaimed "made in China!"

When I complained they offered my a 30% off coupon.

I purchased an item that went on sale for half price 3 weeks later. They would not offer a price match on my item. So instead of offering a price match I had to ship back my original item, and repurchase the exact same item in order to get the sale price. What an asinine way to do business. I will never purchase from this company ever again.

This place is a joke
February 12, 2023

This place is a joke. I ordered a jersey specifically from them in Black Friday because they only had one "in stock" It is now 1/13/2023 and I still don't have the jersey. Apparently according to customer service it is a manufacturer item. So fanatics is allowed to sell items that they don't even have in stock. Even though on their site it say it is in stock. There has been managers that have reached out to "escalate" the problem. And the answer is still "well we just can't get you the item". The entire hockey season is going to be over before we even get the jersey. This place is a joke and I should be getting the jersey for free at this point. Don't bother answering my review with a "hey we're sorry, email us" I already have with no resolution. Do better and get me my jersey.

Great item
January 13, 2023

Great item, fair price and promotion and shipping was timely even during the holiday season.
I was able to use the Fancash so for those who shop like at nascar.com and I believe some other sport sites don't forget anything you bought there (as long as you made an account) will link over to use at fanatics site also.
I'm not too keen on this "handling fee" they charge.
Do your homework, buy during special promotions and 'you can get a fair price.

This company places the tag in nearly the worst spot possible, directly on top of the shoulder seam. This is not advertised and is disrespectful to a large community with sensitivities.

Excellent Service
January 9, 2023

For the past several weeks, I have been trying to find out why my order was cancelled. Today I was lucky in getting your CSR, Miss Sanchez. After I explained my problem, she able to explain to me right away why a problem occurred. She then proceeded to rectify the situation and send to me the remaining item that had not been sold out. She sent the item overnight at no charge because my gifts were for Christmas but the 12th of January is his 16th birthday. This CSR understands how to take a very upset client and explain what happened and when I asked if I could place an order today for what items were available she processed my order and sent the item overnight at no cost to me. This young lady knows her job very well and was able to explain what happened clearly and gave me a solution without placing me on hold several times to get assistance to help. I hope your company is aware of the positive experience a well trained CSR such as Miss Sanchez makes on your customers.

They don't deliver. Stay away frrom this company.
February 8, 2023

Ordered a hat on Dec 2nd. It has been over a month and the hat hasn't shipped. They give instructions via email on how to cancel the order, but the screens they direct you to don't exist. They say their chat is available 24x7 but apparently, they are away at this moment. Had problems with them in the past, but I got duped this time because they have multiple websites to make it look as if it's a different company. Completely dishonest and crappy customer service.

Wont fix their mistake!
February 7, 2023

I ordered a jordy nelson packers jersey for my wife for christmas. Made sure to order with plenty of time so i ordered around nov23rd. Paying 18 dollars in ahipping id expect a month to be plenty of time. It arroved dec 24th! I was so thrilled! Until she opened it on christmas...and it was the wrong player! I understand mistakes happen so i emailed them and said that they had sent me the wrong one they then told me to send them proof which i did. Then they said if i wanted to pay the shipping the would just send me the correct one and i could keep the one the sent. I told them i had no need for this one, but i said fine go ahead and charge my card. They then told me they could not do that and i had to download an app and pay them on there. Sketchy as heck! It was an address in estonia! So they wont send me the correct jersey now because im not willing to send money to them in a foreign country. I am of options. Please someone at fanatics make this right!

Product quality good; customer service excellent
January 8, 2023
Updated review

The product arrived in short order, material was excellent quality, the appearance was great, and the Michael Jordan logo was accurate (I'd thought it was in error- but apparently Michigan football is sponsored by Jordan.). David in Fanatics customer support was very responsive, informative, and helpful. I'd have given this review 5 stars, but it required posting a negative review to reach a human in customer service, which I'd love to see fixed.

I ordered the football jersey for the Michigan Wolverines. It has a Michael Jordan basketball logo on it. It's the only team Jersey done like this. All others had the Nike swish. No way to contact a human being to get this issue resolved.

They said they would waive the return label fee. So I guess it could be worse. I'm pretty disappointed since this was supposed to be gifts for my family who are preparing for the jaguars game today.

Never have I been so disappointed with an online purchase. I ordered a collegiate snowman. Very poor quality. Looks like it was made from laminated cardboard and the "wood" used looks like filthy dirty pallet wood. The Snowman isn't even White! And then they want to charge me $9.95 for a return address label. Are you kidding me? I will never ever order from this company again but I will say the girl from customer service was extraordinarily kind and professional.
