I placed an order for my husband's Christmas gift on the 8th of December. I chose 3-5 day shipping guaranteed before Christmas, December 25th. I constantly checked my email for a shipping update but nothing. Today I reached out to Fanatics via their chat service and was informed that they had issues with the item and it now wasn't supposed to arrive until the 27th. Two days after Christmas and 19 days after I placed the order. No one contacted me about said delay or offered an explanations or compensation on this $100 order. So I requested a cancellation and full refund to ensure that I can purchase a new gift for my husband. They REFUSED until I threatened to open and escalate a PayPal claim. Even claimed the item was already shipped when it very clearly had not. They then said they'd send a confirmation email in 48 hours about my refund and cancellation. I do not trust them and went to PayPal and opened a claim. Their business model is sketchy at best and they constantly lie. I will not give them anymore business. This is the first and only time I will shop here. I pray I get my money back. Do not shop here. At all.
Placed an order by accident. Immediately wrote to cancel that order and they said they would be getting in touch with me. They never did, I received the item in the mail, and now I have to return it. The problem is now they say, their customer service department, that they can't find my order by number name email or telephone number.
I ordered a Jersey for a NFL game I'm attending. It was ordered on the 10th of December and promised to ship Next Business Day expedited. However when I tracked the shipment the jersey isn't scheduled to arrive until the 16th of December. I'm flying out for my game on the 15th so the Jersey I ordered will not be making the trip. I called their customer service line and explained my predicament to give them a chance to correct the situation. I was told that they are seeing what I'm seeing in regards to the longer shipment. Unfortunately there isn't anything they can do for me besides hoping it would get there sooner. If you have a time sensitive event your ordering sports
Apparel for I'd recommend using a company that cares of your situation. It's definitely not this company.
I placed an expensive order which never arrived. It was absolutely impossible to get anyone to help. They just stole my money.

The website provided misleading information about the product. It describes the clothing item as "Men's Seattle Kraken Fanatics Branded Black Primary Logo Quarter-Zip Pullover Fleece Jacket". This item is a flimsy see-through 100% polyester shirt."

Really poor service. Ordered my England shirt in November 2022, got email to say will be delivered 1 December but wasn't and never updated. Spoke with customer care and was told will take 3 days to investigate and then will be called or emailed. No one contacted, now I'm being told they will do a refund. So, no shirt for World Cup as I wanted.
Shela, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We would

I've tried for the past two years to get the Army Jersey (t-shirt) for the Army vs Navy game. Last year and this year I paid for 2 day shipping. These guys can't figure out what 2 day shipping is. Last years order placed on 12/3/21 and arrived on 12/16/21. I figured last year with all the "supply chain" issues okay maybe. This year I ordered on 12/2/22 and as of today (12/9/22) it has not arrived. Don't order from this site if you want something in a timely manner.
Stephen, I am so sorry, we really dropped the ball on this. According to my system, I am showing that we have refunded your shipping fee of $18.95 on 12/09/22 and we ask that you please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to post back to the original form of payment that was used at checkout. If would like any more assistance, please email [email protected] with your name and order number. Sincerely, David
I ordered a jersey for my boyfriend for Christmas way before Thanksgiving. It's all he wanted for Christmas, so I ordered it off of the NBA store associated with fanatics and paid a lot for it. Their guarantee is "order today, get it by Christmas" so I was excited. Two weeks before Christmas, the arrival date changed to after the new year. Obviously in anger, I called the customer service number quite a few times and one lady told me that she would get the jersey here by Christmas. She lied. The jersey is completely sold out and unavailable until after Valentines day. Fanatics sold me this jersey and waited until two weeks before Christmas to tell me that it is totally sold out. They offered 30% off and free shipping for the inconvenience, but I don't want the deals. I want the jersey. I will never shop here ever again. There are better companies to buy from, do NOT give fanatics any of your money.
Hey Olivia, I am truly sorry for the item being sold out after you purchased the item. I understand this is frustrating and would love to resolve this issue if you would email me at [email protected].

Thanks, Ryan

The products they are selling online are inferior products. You should look elsewhere if you want quality products. I should have read the reviews before I ordered.

Since you have already received a refund, we wanted to reach out to you and apologize immensely for the troubles you have encountered.

Please do yourself a favor and never order anything from fanatics! This company has twice taken my money at the holidays and the item i purchase never arrives. Both times I have had to track the package and speak with customer service. In speaking with customer service, they proceed to lie to me and tell me the package was lost; however, their own tracking partner shows the item was never shipped. So after 2 weeks of waiting, I am out of a gift for someone and out of time. The simple truth is, Fanatics lies to their customers. When I spoke with a supervisor, after going through 3 customer service reps who keep telling me the item was lost, and demanding to be told the truth, I am told there was a computer glitch at time of ordering and they never actually had the item in stock. Yet they never thought to reach out to me to notify me of that glitch in a timely fashion so I could make other arrangements. Surely I cannot be the only one who was impacted by this glitch? Such a large company having a "glitch " at the holidays is suspect! This company is a joke and I would never order from them again! Their attempts at service recovery are also piss poor!
It's been 2 months since my order didn't arrive. Their chat option is constantly disabled, they don't respond to emails (5 I sent) and had to wait 40 minutes on the phone for them to tell me its my banks fault my refund didn't arrive. I told them politely that's not true and he raised his voice at me. I asked to speak to someone higher and he made it obvious that was a hassle, put me on hold then told me she had gone home. In the end begrudgingly he said he would send an urgent email. Then sighed and said see ya before hanging up. Worst customer service I've ever encountered. Still don't have my refund.

Ordered a hat and used the same shipping and billing address. Somehow my order was shipped to a town 30 mins north of my address. The best part I can't even get the hat now because it's out of stock. I can feel free to keep checking back though. Thanks.

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting... It's a ball cap, for goodness sakes! Every day the site notes delivery...and then it doesn't. Same routine. Piss poor service - and you have to pay for it, too! I will order from NFL shop in the future...but never again from this place.

No way of returning anything if you don't have an order number…. Can't speak with a live representative… connects you to a computer… spent hours with no results! I have ordered many times from Fanatics… but this is the last time!

After realizing I had ordered the wrong jersey within 36 hrs, I was told it was too late to change to the correct one. Amazon would of had no issues at all.Now I wait for 10 days for the jersey, when it comes I do a return, get a refund, and then it'll be too late for the one I wanted. Never again!
Hello Raymond,

Ordered a Tom Brady jersey for the boyfriend and he's been a hunt for it for months for his size. I thought what a great birthday gift if I could find it. I've been looking at EVERY website possible and I was out of luck. Even with fantatics. Till one day I looked again and BAM! ONE LEFT. So I jumped on it. 30% off and next day shipping. I got a steal. Note.many BF's birthday was the week after. It's been 4 days and still my order was in PROCESSING MODE. Thats when I started to worry and contacted customer service not once but 3 times. First time guy said my order was shipping that night. Next day I checked same thing. So contacted them again... And same response. So next day I saw it was the same status and at this point I was furious. So I contacted them again and sorry to say but lost it. When finally someone gave me a straight forward answer and not beating around the bushes. I don't mind waiting for it as it is the holidays and delays are expected. But don't be putting my hopes up just to be disappointed. Tell me straight up. So let's say I didn't get it on time this could of been a Christmas gift and I could of bought something else in the mean time. It came a day before his birthday. When came I had to inspect it as there were a lot of comments says fraud. So I had to be sure. Everything seems to be legit and proper. My only down fall was the numbers had some red stain on them which I did not like. Thankfully I was able to get it off. I just would of appreciated if I'm paying that price that I would be getting something that's perfect. If the stain didn't come off I would of definitely done a return.
Terry, we are terribly sorry to hear that we have dropped the ball. We would love a chance to make this right. I have email you a resolution for the experience and receiving the item defective. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Shanick
It's always a joy to try to take advantage of a sale and you found a couple items you want. You selected one of them and order it. A week later your order is cancelled with no explanation. After talking to a sales rep they apparently never had enough of the item in stock to cover the order. Too late now to order the other item at sale price. Thanks Fanatics for teaching me a valuable lesson, never trust you again.
An item was purchased through this site online at a cyber Monday sale. Item came extremely fast. However it was not the color purchased. When dealing with costumer service their reply was if you are not satisfied with your purchase
You may return it. The item is no longer in stock that I originally purchased. Would not take any blame for miss shipment Or try to compensate a customer for there error even the slightest with a discount coupon or anything. Poor poor customer service
Hey Nichol,
I am very sorry we dropped the ball by sending you the wrong color hoodie. I have refunded you for the hoodie and sent you an email to the email address on the order. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience, however, if you have any other concerns, please let me know by replying to that email.
Sincerely,

Bought a shirt on 11/30/22, was offered free next day shipping, which is the only reason I bought the shirt, now I see that I'm not getting it next day, I'm getting it on the standard 5 to 6 day ground shipping. It's disgusting how they reel you in with free offers, and when you bite the bait, they hook you in. It's all a lie, this was going to be a gift, for someone that won't be here when the shirt arrives, that was the purpose of getting it next day.
Hey Lili,
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with us. We would love a chance to make this right. Please email me at [email protected] with your order number and info, and I will be happy to do all I can to fix this. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience but look forward to hearing from you soon.

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
