I would think twice before ordering from Fanatics. I placed an order and paid for it back on July 7th. I ordered the "Colorado Avalanche Fanatics Pack 2022 Stanley Cup Champions Gift Box" and after ordering, it said it would be delivered by Aug. 9th. I called and asked why it was going to take a month to get it and was told that Fanatics deals with third party dealers and that it can take longer because of that. Now, it says that it won't be here until Aug. 18th. I'm a very patient person, but this is ridiculous and misleading. They have my money and I have nothing in return. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

Don't order here.
August 30, 2022

This is my second time ordering from here. Thought I would give them another chance- wish I didnt. Each time was a gift for my boyfriend. Each time he opened the gift, it was wrong. And I double checked myself before I complain. The first order was a mens large shirt- they sent a size youth large. The second order was a bundle of 2 shirts, one shirt the entire logo is off center (very obvious that it's not suppose to be like that) the logo almost goes into the armpit. And the second shirt was tagged inside as mens large but is clearly a woman's. The logo it girly and doesn't even match the picture in the order. It's so so frustrating and I won't be ordering from here again.

It Started with Chatline, I had to call and speak with a Representative. It was a Blessing to get Angela on the line. She was able find me and my order and to assist me with my situation. Her professionalism, patience and assistance made my first time experience with this company enjoyable. I bought my original item and with Angela's assistance I brought another item. I will buy more items from the site and will tell my family and friends about using the site to purchase college and professional items too.
Many Kudos to Angela Continue offering your super star service

DUE TO THE 3 DEFECTIVE ALL STAR GAME SHIRTS THAT I RECEIVED, THEY OFFERED ME ANOTHER SHIRT WITH NO NAME ON THE BACK (SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL). THE SHIRT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED TO MY SON. THE AGENT EVEN READ BACK THE SHIPPING ADDRESS TO ME OVER THE PHONE TO CONFIRM. TODAY THE SHIRT ARRIVED AT MY ADDRESS WHICH IS 3000 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHIPPED. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE IN ANYONE WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY - THEY JUST CAN'T GET ANYTHING RIGHT. NEVER EVER AGAIN. I LOST OVER $14 IN A "FANCASH" REWARD THAT I USED FOR THE FIRST 3 SHIRTS THAT ARRIVED WITH A MISPELLED NAME ON THE BACK. THE AGENT OVER THE PHONE PROMISED I WOULD GET THAT BACK - TWO WEEKS HAVE PASSED AND NEVER RECEIVED THE FANCASH BACK. TOTAL INCOMPETENCE.

What a fall in standards
August 24, 2022

I recently received 4 items from Fanatics, ahead of the start of the new college football season... a hoodie, 2 long sleeve shirts and 1 short sleeved T.
All 4 items ordered XL and while labelled XL, are no bigger than L... and that's before I wash them!
Its been a while since I used Fanatics, perhaps 2 years, and WOW - what a DROP in quality.
The last hoodie I ordered perhaps 3 years ago was cotton, authentic, well made, fit great. I just ordered the "like for like" replacement, which was about the same price, but this time it arrive under sized, made of shiny nylon, instead of it being Crimson, it was more "pinky red" - I doubt very much this is officially licensed clothing - horrible!
The 2 long sleeve shirts are under sized, and the lettering / logo are already damaged and poor quality.
The T shirt is terriibly poor material, and under sized.
I will not be using this company again!

Nightmare
August 24, 2022

I would give it a 0 if I could. Took over a month to get my order. And the correspondence was atrocious. I was constantly told they have no shipping update for me as to when the item would ship and that I could cancel anytime. I sent 3 separate emails telling them to cancel my order and they never did. This whole experience was unacceptable. I'm a patient person but this was a bit much. I felt in the dark through this ordeal. This was a birthday present for someone on July 6th. I ordered it plenty ahead of time but didn't get my item until July 24th. I will tell people to avoid this site. In my opinion a "sorry for the inconvenience" wasn't enough.

Their site UI doesn't allow you to cancel even within 1 hr of buying.
No way to call or contact to cancel.
I had to pay to ship it back (and pay the duties AGAIN) and paid $30 for a hat I tried to cancel immediately after buying.

Returns up to 365 days!
August 18, 2022

Not True! I ordered a $100 jersey (size L) early January for a friend who is a seasonal resident of Arizona. He bought it for his grandson. When grandson arrived in July, we found it was too large. We cannot return it. There is no phone number for customer service. They didn't recognize the order. They didn't admit they even sent the jersey even though the original packing and order are here. My friend ordered another one (size S) and that arrived within a week. We will see if that fits next week when they return from a vacation. I was not ever able to reach a person and the website has no record of our order. Total invoice $107.49. I'm sorry I have to give them one star.

Fanatics is a Horrible Company
August 14, 2022

I ordered multi items from Fanatics and after weeks of waiting I started getting emails telling me that they dont even have half the stuff I ordered. Yet I got emails EVERYDAY telling my order was being processed with links to buy more stuff, the reality is they trying to sell me more crap and string the process out so that you could sell me crap, how did this company become the sponsor of all these major teams... oh I know its some type inside between someone and their kids company or some bull$#*! like that! I requested a refund for all products and will not order from here again. This place is a joke!

False Advertising + Horrible Customer Service
August 10, 2022

I have been a customer of fanatics for a long long time. Apparently customer loyalty and honesty means nothing to fanatics anymore. I purchased a jersey for my brothers bday on June 30th, the item clearly showed a delivery date between 3-7 business days. NO OTHER DATES WERE LISTED. I then receive a confirmation email saying the delivery date is August 1st, my brothers bday is on July 9th. I called back to cancel the order less then 24hrs later and had to wait a week to find out they can't do anything. I'm not a rich person, so I had to show up to my brothers 40th bday empty handed. Had the true delivery date been advertised truthfully I would have never purchased the item, fanatics led me to believe it wouldn't be a problem to cancel and refund the item. Well that was not the case, I now have to wait until august to receive the package, then use my own time to go 15KM to my nearest post office to ship the item back, and probably end up waiting until mid to late august to receive my refund for an item I tried to cancel less then 24hrs after purchase. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY, THERE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF BETTER SPORTS APPAREL STORES EVERYWHERE. This company is joke and I will NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN!

Good Afternoon, Robin. I apologize for your experience. Upon review of the order and item, I can confirm the merchandise is a special event item that has a scheduled shipping date of July 21st. This information is provided on the site under the items' name, at check out, and in the order confirmation. In addition, this item is coming directly from the manufacturer which is why it was not able to be canceled passed the 30-minute time frame from the order purchase. At this time, I have escalated this order to the vendor to attempt a cancellation. If canceled, you will receive an email confirmation. Thank you, Maribell

You order, they take your money… that's it!
August 8, 2022

Never received my order. Multiple attempts to track were dead ends. Latest information was that the package was actually in my town then somehow shipped to a town 30 miles away. Fanatics says it's UPS. Ups says it was handed off to USPS. Usps has no record of package. They started refund process, but I really wanted the item. Do yourself a favor and go into an actual store. Avoid Fanatics website.

Items never received either on time or at all
August 5, 2022

I have been trying to receive 2 new Wilson Broncos jerseys for months now. I have received 3 of the 6 that I ordered. I returned 1 as it was too small and have yet to receive the replacement I ordered even though I paid extra for 2 day delivery. The other one I sent back as I had actually received 2 of that size. The other 2 that were shipped were said to have been "delivered," but I'm not sure who they were "delivered" to as it wasn't me. I truly believe the courier company has been stealing things. I am currently waiting for the last jersey I ordered, it's out there somewhere. If it doesn't actually show up, I will not be ordering another from this group. I will drive to the USA and find one in a store. Do NOT, under any circumstances order anything from this group, they're utterly hopeless.

Not well made
August 2, 2022

I bought a Ravens tee. After washing once, it literally came apart at the seams. I contacted Fanatics and since they claim too long after purchase, I was out of luck. I made multiple purchases so it was awhile before I wore this one. I provided photos. It was really at all the seams. They told me too bad. Even all the others fell apart way too soon. Never again.

Horrible Clothing
July 31, 2022

Ill fitting clothing. Definitely not authentic Nike apparel. Knock offs. Ordered a GSW championship shirt and the arm holes are crooked and the shirt is not a US size. Will NEVER order again. Then you're overcharged for returns so they can benefit by keeping a large portion of your refund. Total ripoff!
