Hello Adriane, I am sorry to hear your recipient did not receive their merchandise. I was able to confirm they did not receive this; being it was stuck in transit with FedEx since the 6th of January and I am happy to get this resolved for you. Our apologies! We have released the funds for the order back to the original form of payment. Please allow 2 to 7 business days for the credit to post to your account. Sincerely, Deannaa.

I have tried for the last week and a half to order braves jerseys for my girlfriend and I. I have ordered through fanatics, MLB Shop, and Fans Edge with zero success. The order goes through, then gets cancelled within the hour. This is a joke, I gave the benefit of the doubt and thought it was an inventory issue. I then split my original order of a custom jersey, an Ozzie Albies jersey and two nike shirts into different orders to find where the inventory issue was that was causing the cancellation. What happened was that every single order got cancelled and doesn't give me an explanation as to why. I used the same credit card information that was used to purchase on $#*!'s sporting good site. Magically, $#*!'s has already DELIVERED the product in less time than it takes Fanatics to even accept an order.

I've honestly never been more frustrated with a service. If you cancel the order, fine. Leave ANY sort of explanation as to why, but that hasn't been the case. Overall, I have had 7 orders cancelled through the 3 listed above. 3 of which through fanatics because their codes were enticing.

Just stay away from these guys, it's a nightmare and it's certainly not worth the emotional rollercoaster of excitement/disappointment.

Hello Tim! Sorry to hear your item did not fit as purchased and your being charged to send it back. No worries, I took care of this for you. I waived your return label fee for you, I sent you the return label. From the day you drop it in the mail, a return typically takes 10 business days or less to travel and be processed at our warehouse. Once it is processed a refund will reflect back to your original form of payment within 2-7 business days depending on your financial institution. Thanks, Deannaa.

Terrible service
April 27, 2021

This review concerns the European NBA store (nbastore.eu) which is driven by Fanatics UK.

Short version of review: Do NOT buy from them! Terrible service with too long processing time, and low quality merchandise.

Long version of review:
I ordered a jersey from one NBA player (i. E. it was not a custom print) and it took them more than one month to send it which was an unacceptably long time. I tried to contact customer service several times in the meantime, and each time they were comming up with new excuses. First they lied that the item was shipped, which was obvious lie because tracking link was saying that order is being "processed" and not sent yet. Later they said that they need to "re-send" the item which caused additional waiting time. Then after more than one month of waiting, the item finally arrived.The jersey was packed unprotected and shipped in a cheap plastic bag, and all the prints appeared damaged and of low quality. The letters were almost falling off from the jersey. I will NEVER again buy from this store. I do not know how do they still have license to call themselfs an official NBA store.

Greetings Nash! I am so deeply sorry to hear of such a horrid experience with our company. I attempted to review the order and was unable to locate the order with the information we have from this review. I want to look into this for you and provide better assistance as you should not have to settle for a defective jersey after waiting for such a long period of time. Please feel free to send me a message with your order details for additional assistance. Thanks, Deannaa.

UPDATE
April 23, 2021
Updated review

Since posting the original review stating that I was unable to contact Fanatics concerning my issue, I saw another review where another customer service e-mail was posted. By using that e-mail, I got immediate and thorough response! Not sure how that other person got that e-mail address, but I could not find it anywhere, which is still unacceptable (the valid e-mail was different than the bogus e-mail on my packing slip). So, I was given a postage paid mailing label to return the rug. I was sent a replacement rug quickly. The replacement rug was exactly the same as the first! I am just going to keep it. Most importantly, I got a credit to my PayPal account for the cost of the rug and was not charged for the second one.

Hello Jeffrey, thank you for reaching out and we are grateful for the positive feedback! Thanks, Karmen


I ordered a small personalized rug. What I got did not look like the picture of the item shown on fanatics website. I sent an e-mail, including pictures, to the customer service address on my packing slip ([email protected]). My e-mail was returned as "Undeliverable" twice. I also filled out the "Inquiry" form on fanatics corporate website and have had no response so far. I can't find any customer support phone number to call. Fanatics did not fairly represent the item I purchased and their customer service really sucks.

Helmet case
April 20, 2021

I had ordered a case for my helmet that took forever to arrive and to my surprise when it finally arrived it was damage. Heartbroken as I was, I reached out to customer service and everything got squared right away. The service I got from Cristin is a blessing from the retail God. She handled everything so smoothly and quickly. She updated me with every information she got without me having to ask. I can't thank her enough for helping me through this. I can say without a doubt that thanks to her, I will be shopping here for my case again when I get another helmet. Cristin you are such a wonderful help

Bought a $50 silver business card holder for a Naval Academy grad as a gift. The college emblem was a metallic sticker affixed in a crooked fashion on the front. It is so embarrassing it is un-gift-able. The refund amount was $10 less than my total cost of this endeavor. I will never ever buy from this company again. Hopefully my refund will process correctly.

Poor Chastity...

She has to keep apologizing for the horrible quality. Yeah we all want MLB shirt from Vietnam. Unreal. This is the worst crap known to mankind. I bought 4 shirts that I would never wear in public. They are ruining the ability to support your team. And Chastity - don't apologize. You won't ever get my money again.

If you have purchased clothing, you know that there is no consistency in sizing. As a result, their size chart is useless. Purchased a long sleeve T in a medium which is a size that I often buy. When I got the product, it was too small. We tried to exchange it. Not only did we have to pay to ship it, there was also a significant restocking fee. And, we would have to reorder and pay to ship the "replacement". IN other words, they really do not exchange items that do not fit even though when you order on line, there is a good chance that it won't fit.

I had worn a 7 5/8 for years now. I purchased a SF Giants hat and it was extremely way too big. I was able to put a finger in between my head and the hat. I got it on sale so I won't be able to find it again for that cheap. Fanatics help team did not a damn thing to fix it. I will no longer be buying anything from that site. You think they would own up to their mistake but nope. $#*! that site

I ordered a tee-shirt on 3/15 for the NCAA March Madness and their site stated 3 - 7 days for shipping. It took them 10 days to ship the tee-shirt and it is still in transit. If you are looking for something to wear to a sporting event or buying someone a birthday gift make sure to order 2 months in advance or better yet go to Amazon and rest assure you will receive the item on time. Their customer service could care less and it goes to show you that they are used to customers calling to complain about not delivering on time.

They offer a free shipping coupon and then automatically add a $9 fee for expedited shipping by default. If you don't notice the bait and switch then I bet you've paid the fee without ever knowing. Slimy business practice! Buyer beware

Are you Serious?
April 22, 2021

Are you serious? This place is a joke. After spending over a year just trying to purchase a specific Elite Jersey (That is a whole other story), it arrived today, March 14th with a purchase date of Feb. 6th. What the H-E double hockey sticks is this? For those of you that are not aware, which was me just over a year ago, is that an Elite Jersey, after taxes, is just over $400. I throw up in my mouth a little every time I think about it. For a piece of cloth with a few embroideries to cost that much, I guess I thought the packaging would be a bit more…elegant? Or collection-worthy? Nope. I was the lucky recipient of a gray garbage bag-like packaging. THEY did not even WRAP the jersey. Nothing. Now – I haven't even taken it out of the fancy schmancy bag yet. I'm torn between taking it out to get a better look or waiting until the hubby's birthday (this month) so we can be pissed together. Did I mention the times I dealt with customer service? Another time.
