Great
July 23, 2020

Had a problem with my recent order. They resolved my issue and everything is fine now. Eventually I received my order but was very worried when they never sent email confirmation or an email saying my items were shipped.

From Pluto?
July 19, 2020

I ordered a college coffee mug and the next day I received an email confirming that it had shipped, but wouldn't arrive for a MONTH! Where is it coming from, Pluto? I needed this for a present and now I have no way to cancel. Well, I finally received the mug. I bought an Indiana University coffee mug. The mug itself is glazed but the "Hoosiers" on the inside in nothing but stickers that will come off eventually. Cheap crap. Never will I ever purchase anything from this thieves again.

Fanatics SUCK
June 20, 2020

I truly wish that I'd read the reviews before making a purchase online. I placed an order 6/08/20 and received message saying my order would arrive by 6/20/20 only when I called just to confirm 6/18/20 I'm told order would arrive 7/08/20. That's so unprofessional and I'll never recommend your site. Just refund my money and you guys truly suck.

We certainly apologize for the inconvenience. We show your order was for a pre-sale item with a special shipping date which is why the scheduled delivery date was for July 20th. Additionally, we show your order was already cancelled per your request and refunded on June 18th. We are truly sorry for any disappointment and confusion from your order. We have issued a discount code for your next order that was emailed to your email. Please let us know if we can assist you any further. Thank you, Edmond.

I placed an order for face masks 5/31-never recieved any info-called on 6/14. Said wasnt going to ship till 6/30. I was talked down to and hung up on 3 different times-had to call 5 times in all. Cancelled order-of course they take money from you in seconds but they say 2-7 business days to get back my money. They have lost my business going forward thanks fanatics-for being professional jerks

I ordered cubs facemasks May 8. Every day I logged on it said pending. And it kept saying pending for well over a month! Finally today it tells me probable ship date June 30th. THATS UNACCEPTABLE! I've gotten orders from China (Wish) is less time! Their website is insane to find things. Whenever I logon I have to keep proving it's not me. Click the items that have trees, click the items that have crosswalks. Why do I have to do this multiple times?!?! Insane! I don't even have to do that with my bank account for crying out loud. And if you want to talk to someone it don't let you it sends you to a chat where you talk to a freaking computer and it gives you the same answer over and over again ( the wrong answer mind you!). I literally had to switch over to the desktop version to find the phone number. But I will say the girl that I talk to was the sweetest kindest person that I've ever talk to About something like this. We was talking about our kids and everything else at the end of the business call. That's what I like, real life people and you don't see this enough you just see straight up business like rude people. But back to the business at hand. The first two people that I talk to you did not say this was a product that was not in stock. The lady I talked to today said they should've told me that which they didn't So here I am today over a month later and still Do not have what I paid for. So I cancelled the order and requested my money back. Which they say will take 2 to 7 days. Ridiculous! It took you 30 seconds to take my money but a week to get it back. What a shame! So tomorrow my order from Amazon will be here and I will make my own Cub masks. Thanks for nothing Fanatics!

Buyer Beware
July 11, 2020

Placed an order 2 months ago and have not heard a word on any progress or estimated delivery. I call the phone number available to cancel and after 10 minutes I was told it had shipped where I knew it had not. Minutes later after making me wait, miraculously my order could be cancelled for a full refund. We'll see if that ever happens. If I don't get my refund in 7 days I will get PayPal involved.

This company sent me the wrong size mask - it wouldn' fit an infant. When I tried to return it, the charge for the label was almost as much as the mask. Rip off. Do not trust them.

Hello Denise. We apologize for any inconvenience. That item is only returnable if it has not been removed from the package. If the item was taken out of the package we will not accept the item back. We have waived the return fees for you so you can go to our website to print out the return label if the item was not removed from the package. Sincerely, Karmen

Joke

I tried to start a return just to get a different size, but oddly enough it says order number and email can't be found. I had no problem getting what I ordered, but their customer service is a joke

Poor Quality
June 7, 2020

The Material is POOR QUALITY. I have a #99 JJ Watt T Shirt that is Extremely Wrinkly out of the dryer 'compared' to all my other T Shirts, and it 'Shrunk 2 Sizes' in just a Dozen Washes. It went from JJ Watt to David Spade! Literally. And i have a Daytona 500 Shirt that also has the 'wrinkly' problem and Shrinked and Faded in just a Dozen COLD Washes...

I purchased a shirt from the website when I got it home it was too small so I wanted to return. They would not give me a return address and wanted to charge me $10 shipping and handling which it only cost them 599 ship to me. With most websites you pay one way they pay the other way on shipping if return. And then they do not describe the item as a Dri-Fit I thought it was cotton. This is a sheisty website

I purchased a woman's Tshirt Online that was On sale for $29.99. By the time I finished the online purchase the cost was $47.06. I wanted this tshirt for a Bday present so I completed the order because this shirt was Close being sold out.
As it turned out I needed to return this tshirt.
My return credit was $23.08. In calling Fanatics as to why I didn't get full credit the representative told me there was a $9.00 service charge for a returned item. I felt deceived and taken! This is not a good policy. They are making money on return shipping and now on a service charge! This is robbery! I will
Never do business with this company again!
Beware on sale purchases and returns!

Elysha responded to my inquiry of a shipment lost by FEDEX. She responded promptly, kept me updated, and got me a replacement shipment in a timely fashion. Thanks. See a lot of negative reviews for FANATICS. A bunch of sour grapes! Fanatics provides awesome merchandise and amazing pricing and deals and GREAT customer service! They provided me with my own personal sales Rep I can contact to place orders with and submit question about orders and merchandise. I get a reply within hours!
