I purchase 2 items on Sept 8,2020 and received 1 within a few days. The Emmitt Smith T-Shirt was a special order that would ship on October 17,2020. Today is 12-3-2020 and the order shipping date has been changed 3 times. This is absolutely Unacceptable especially since they are located in Jacksonville Florida and the SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAY PRESENT was shipping to Tennessee. I spoke to several incompetent and untruthful advocates who read the teleprompter in front of them and it was all misleading. I'm not sure if the NFL Shop has turned their heads and rolled over concerning Fanatics deceptive Ordering and Shipping practices, but, today they are put on notice again. I've ordered many items over the years and I'm appalled at the lackadaisical attitude I've encountered on my LAST and FINAL order with this company. I'm so glad that I decided against purchasing 3 of the T-shirts because I would have been thoroughly upset if my 11-30 birthday would have come and gone and NO present. I don't want a refund, I want the birthday gift for someone who is has been extremely ill shipped before SEPTEMBER 2021, please! Be careful and think before you place an order with Fanatics because they ordering and shipping practices are no longer reputable and very deceptive.
I recently ordered an Adam Thielen autographed jersey. When the jersey arrived, I followed the instructions given to verify the autograph. I entered the hologram number in the verification site on fanatics.com. Come to find out, the hologram number is invalid!
After placing over five calls to customer service, I have been told three different stories and have been placed on hold for over a total of 6 hours. I was told a ticket was created and they will get back to be in five business days!
I asked to speak with supervisors and other departments to get an answer, I was denied each time. The false advertising on the website is criminal. Please do not spend your money here! Worst customer service and company I have ever dealt with. I will be writing a letter to every company that endorsers fanatics explaining this experience. I cannot believe professional teams support such a criminal company.
Ordered several items for Christmas presents. Those items arrived just fine. However, we received 2 packages with stuff that we did not order. We tried to return the items but dealing with customer service was very frustrating. They were rude, could not figure out what we were talking about, couldn't figure out what happened, gave us incorrect and conflicting information about what to do, didn't seem to be able to see what we had discussed in previous calls and could never figure out how to allow us to return this stuff to them. We just want to return stuff we didn't order, but are getting to the point where it is ridiculous and we are thinking we will just donate it. Very frustrating. Don't think we will order from them again.
I bought a personalized sweatshirt, after one wash the name is gone. I will never purchase from them again. I contacted Fanatics who said there was nothing that they could do because it had been washed and worn, also this shipped from a vendors warehouse... excuse, the response from the email requested below was the same, If you have known issues with the vendor why use them? The 30% off offer on the next order is not acceptable because why would I continue to purchase products that are of bad quality from a business who don't stand behind their customers. If I wanted a sweatshirt that the letters were going to wash out of I would draw on it myself. The other issue is with another shirt I ordered before realizing the letters were going to wash off, In order to get a full refund you are required to get an E-gift card to Fanatics, if you want a refund to your credit card you are required to pay 9.99 shipping, so No I will never shop at Fanatics again.
We apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. Please email us at [email protected] so we may assist you further with this. Sincerely, Karmen
I placed an order back in August 16th on a New York Rangers office Chair. I had 3 different ship dates in less then a month... Called them and of course you speak to Mohamed from over seas who cant understand English when there is a problem. After many attempts of emails a lady emails me and says the chair is now delay cause it wasn't sign by the athlete. I said WHAT? It was just another excuse of why it hadn't shipped except to say it was out of inventory. SO they post and sell things they don't even have. This was a NIGHTMARE. Pay more and be happy elsewhere. I have spent a alot of money here and I had to use a lot of foul langue to get something done in Nov. And finally they refunded my money. 4 months of LIES and no customer service
Good Evening, Kevin. We are truly sorry for your experience. We ask that you send us a message for further assistance. Sincerely, Maribell
I ordered a hockey jersey as a christmas present and the quality of the jersey is PITIFUL. So cheap. Plastic logos and letters sewn onto a cheap jersey material. Save your money and do not order from here, order from a credible website.
When I asked for my money back the customer service rep said I was going to get a return label in my email she said it would take 30 mins. When 12+ hours passed I contacted customer service again then they said my item could not be returned. So she made a customer service ticket # for me (96 hr wait time for a response, btw), but moments after she got me the ticket # I got an email with the RETURN LABEL I originally asked for. I have no idea what to do with this cheap jersey but I know I don't want it.
I ordered a Championship Lakers shirt right after they won! My ordered got delayed at least 5 times and after a few months I get an email that my order can't be filled due to item out of stock or it's a custom item that can't be done. I won't be ordering from this Company again. :(
I placed an order on October 31st. Two items were too large. I returned them on the 9th. On the 20th, after my items were received I contacted support for my refund, they said they had email it on the 11th. Nope. So, they said they would do it again. Nope. So, I contacted support, they tried sending to 3 different emails and none came through (obviously a problem on their end). As a result I do not have Christmas presents my son is expecting and I will NOT be reordering after spending over an hour with chat reps.
Hello Jim, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you didn't receive the gift certificate email for the refund. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, I show that a ticket was entered to refund the certificate back to the original form of payment. Once they have completed the transaction, you should receive a confirmation email. Please let us know if you haven't received the email in the next 24-48 hours so this can be looked into further for you. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
This is the second review I have written and the problem remains the same! I ordered a Pittsburgh steelers gold Pendant and received a Rams Pendant instead. After I repackaged and returned the product they sent me the EXACT SAME THING AGAIN! On top of that they told me I could not have my order corrected so basically "go screw yourself ". I will NEVER shop or recommend someone shop with this knockoff website.
Hello Alanda, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you received the wrong item. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, I show that a request to have the right shipped to you has been made. The item is a manufacturer direct item which is shipped by one of the vendors own warehouse. Once the label has been created, you will receive a shipping confirmation email. I have waived and emailed you a return label to send the incorrect item back. You can print out the label and attach it to the package. The package can be dropped off at any local post office or FedEx Store. It can take up to 10 business days to receive and process. You will receive a confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Order was supposed to be here November 24th but hasn't arrived and tried receiving help from customer service and the help line wasn't helpful at all.
Our deepest apologies, Michael. We would like to look into this for you. Please send us a message for further assistance. Sincerely, Maribell
Hands down the worst company in the jersey business. Please god do your self a favor and go anywhere, and I mean anywhere, else then this company for your jersey needs. I bought a Ravens jersey and wore it twice. Never washed or dried. I hung it up, as I do with all my jerseys, after each use. All the numbers and logos are falling off. It is absolutely horrible. Spent around 180 for it to be customized as well. And it's a piece of trash. On top of that they will not under any circumstances refund or exchange it. Worst customer service as well. Tried speaking with a supervisor and they would not allow (FYI. I wasn't yelling or being in any form disrespectfuto the representative, I myself work in a call center and know its not their fault) This company is TERRIBLE! Their customer service is awful their products are cheap and over priced. Safe your self the hassle and shop legitimately anywhere else then this joke of a company. It is a miracle they are still in business especially since I am just 1 of over 2k reviews with the same experience.
Good afternoon Blake. We have issued a full refund for the defective item. We apologize for any inconvenience and frustrations this has caused. We ask that you please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect back to your original form of payment used on the order. If you have any further questions or concerns, please private message me so I can further assist you. Sincerely, Edmond.
This is truly the WORST customer service department I have ever dealt with. Ordered a custom Baltimore Ravens jersey, after TWO wears and NO washes it's completely falling apart. Obviously the cheapest material they could find was used, and for 180$! ABSOLUTE JOKE. Will not refund, or exchange but they're happy to keep the money for a piece of trash jersey. Will absolutely never shop through them again, and would advise you to do the same. There is a reason they are at a 1.6 star rating, and even that is generous.
EDIT*****: The order number is 21-6057-9028, as written. This is ridiculous, just got off the phone with a customer service representative who refuses to do anything to set this issue right and stated when asked for a manager stated "No, our managers do not like to field these types of calls so no one can help you."
Hello Sarah. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. The order number provided is not correct. Please provide your correct order number so we can see if we can assist you further on this. Sincerely, Karmen
I'm from Canada and have ordered from her. A few times with nothing but problems. This time I went to return an item and they make you pay for the return. It was going to cost me $35 to post this back to them insured which is what the item cost! How does this make any sense at all! I'm so disappointed in this company! Don't order from them!
Good Afternoon, Tanya. Upon review of the order, we can confirm the shipping charges have been refunded to cover the return fees. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Sincerely, Maribell
Give yourself a pat on the back for unprofessional service and customer service to all the customers who complained about bad service, late shipments, shoddy products that could be bought at a Flea Market or Thrift Store. I would be embarrassed if I owned a company and there were so many complaints that I could not even count. First clue that something needs to change at the top on how to run a successful business. Your reps are versed well on how to cheat its customers and not even making excuses for items that do not show up or are a month late
On, 2 separate dates of 11-13-2020 and 11-16-2020 I ordered from this site for 1st time. When I say stay away that's exactly what I mean. I was overcharged on both orders. 1st 1 it was a few $, the 2nd time it was almost $100.00. These were Christmas gifts for my children and they company all ready have your $. It took many hrs w/reps/supervisor all 4 ppl blew me off and did not 1 thing they told me over phone. I'm still waiting for them 2 decide if I will get a refund. The orders were not delivered correctly. 5 items and I have 1. The way It is going I'm not sure if I will every get $ bck or get correct items. It was a mess. May I have to get other gifts for my kids, bcus I was not going 2 have my kids have a gift to open on Christmas. I will never order from this company again. Word of mouth also works. Spare yurself all the time/and 2 loose yur $.

Purchase some thing from this website, Took forever for them to ship out, they put the wrong address, they Won't make an effort to help fix their address on their part. Contacted FedEx to try to change the address they said the shipper needs to change it, contacted the shipper, Took forever to get somebody on the line, only for them to fill me with bull$#*! about how it's their policy that they can't update an address. And once the item is returned to shipper I get an automatic refund which I'm trying to get my hat not a $#*!ing refund. No help at all. Wont fix their own mistakes. Don't order from this website.
Hello Michael. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. Please provide the correct order number so we can look in to this further for you. The number you have provided is not one of our order numbers. Sincerely, Karmen
Orderd 279a Travis Kelce salute to service jersey over a month ago and it supposedly arrived on 11/21 (Saturday). Carrier neglected to put it in the mail slot and returned it back to Fanatics the same day as undeliverable. CALLED fanatics customer service and they are unable to send me another jersey and told me I need to wait 10 to 15 business days to receive a refund. I am extremely upset as the jersey is now sold out and I can't get another one. Poor service all around what kind of courier does not try redilvery or have a holding depot as stated on the web site.
Hello Mike. We are very sorry that package is being returned to us. It is always best to have packages delivered to a residence as carriers deliver after hours a lot of the time. As a courtesy we have gone ahead and issued your refund since we see it is being returned. Please allow 2-7 business days for the refund to post back to your original form of payment. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a jacket on nhl site to which they processed order then delayed 3x then finally cancelled it without any explanation or contact with me. The company is a complete joke. They also bought lids and eliminated store pick up option with also charging flat rate 14.99 ship for everything. They $#*! the customer every chance they get and have 0 customer service in mind. Garbage company who monopolizes the sports industry. They will lose contracts soon enuf with the major sports.
Hello Ken, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that your order was cancelled. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. At the time that they were to ship the package, the item was no longer available. They had to refund you the money back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. If there is another item that you are interested in, please private message me so I can further assist you. Once again, I apologize for frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Girlfriend and I ordered a custom $200+ Manchester United jersey with my name on the back. Despite having a confirmation email with the correct spelling, I was sent a jersey with a missing letter on the back. After calling over 10 times I was finally able to speak to a supervisor who acknowledged the error but told me that no returns can be done on custom items and that I can't be given a refund/have the product remade correctly because it's "their policy".
To add insult to injury, we were offered a 15% discount coupon to make things right which is extremely insignificant given the original price of the item + duties and taxes. I would give the company 0 stars if I could.
Horrible overall experience
I recently purchased a early Christmas gift for my boyfriend, which was a sweatshirt and I ordered a Mens L and it looks like a Boys s. I also picked Cardinals #11 and because I ordered that sweatshirt they will not give me store credit or refund my item. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I WILL NEVER SHOP ON HERE AGAIN!
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

Hello Veronica, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the delay of your order. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The item was supposed to have shipped on 10/15/2020. Unfortunately, the vendor was unable to fulfill our orders. Attempted again once the deadline had been met, which our warehouse had been provided another revised ship date. However, our warehouse are starting to receive items in now. Not all sizes have been delivered yet. But once they receive these sizes, you will get a shipping confirmation email. Sincere, Julian
