Ordered an online gift certificate to be delivered via email to a work colleague. Ordered on 12-23 and it was not delivered. Had him check spam and junk folders, no go. Seriously? Sending an online gift code should be one of the easiest things for a company to do. I see the string of complaints about Fanatics inability to deliver physical packages on time, apparently this extends to cyber packages as well. Anyone considering doing business with Fanatics would be well advised to NOT do so.
I placed an order for a cubs jersey for my son last night with this business. But after reading these reviews I am already regretting it. This is what he wants most for Christmas. Most of the reviews I have read indicate they have not received their order in a timely manner or at all. If I do not receive the jersey within the time frame that I am supposed to. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau as well as my credit card company.
Hello Krista, we apologize that you are concerned by the feedback you have read. We understand your concern, and appreciate your comments. However, we hope that once we deliver your package within the expected time frame that you would be willing to adjust your feedback to reflect your true experience. We are working hard to make things right and raise our score across the board regarding these issues and we rely on true and accurate feedback from our Fans who have had a true negative (or positive) experience so that we can work to resolve them based on the situation. It is very difficult to manage this expectation if there are negative scores left before a poor experience is ever experienced. We thank you for taking the time to follow up and assure you that you have the right team working on your order at this time. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do. Sincerely, Sarah B.
No matter what I've ordered in the past, the merchandise was always delivered in a timely fashion and exactly what was requested. The quality and pricing is yet another indication of Fanatics continuing commitment towards customer satisfaction.
My order shows shipped but if you go to the UPS Shipping lookup only a label has been made! There are scammers! I counted on this site for a present! They sell on Amazon and I ordered one shirt on there first and it was the size of a child instead of adult. Amazon told me to keep it and refunded me! I don't like the team so it did me no good especially since I don't have a child either. It was for an adult friend. I thought going through them directly would help. Their live help online is not live! Keeps telling me this order number and my email doesn't exist yet I have an email from them stating the order number! I will fight them tooth and nail to get my money back! They are a rip-off, don't buy from them! Look at my pics, says it was shipped on 7/17/23. Then it states it was shipped by UPS Innovations. Then the last picture shows you that UPS innovations is not even a a good way of shipping.
I purchased an item that went on sale for half price 3 weeks later. They would not offer a price match on my item. So instead of offering a price match I had to ship back my original item, and repurchase the exact same item in order to get the sale price. What an asinine way to do business. I will never purchase from this company ever again.
Hello Chris, I'm so sorry, we have really dropped the ball here. Please accept my sincerest apologies. Let's see what we can do to get you back into the ballgame. We would love a chance to make this right. If you will email customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order numbers and name, we will be happy to make this right. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, David
I am currently on chat trying to find the status of my return and there is absolutely no response. This is actually just the latest in a long line of TERRIBLE customer service events. I paid for 2 days shipping the week of Christmas; did not receive 2 day shipping. I had one item to return out of my order but the return label was so faded that the USPS could not scan it. I chatted with customer service on 4 separate occasions throughout January asking for either a new label or an address so I could ship the return on my own. I was told every time that a label had been mailed and I was given an estimated delivery date. As of today, I have never received this label. The company blatantly lied every time I contacted them- over a simple shipping label. I finally shipped the return and it has been delivered but I cannot get any response regarding status. I repeat... Do NOT order from this company!
Hello Tara,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced surrounding your most recent order with us.
We would be more than happy to proactively process the refund for you but are not sure which item(s) you sent back. Please send us a private message to confirm so we may further assist.
We value your business and realize how frustrating this whole experience has been for you. In an effort to win back your trust we have also issued a Fan Cash credit to your account that can be used at any time towards a future purchase with us.
Please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.
Sincerely,
Lauren E.
Senior Fan Advocate
I placed an order with my credit card. A charge appeared shortly thereafter, then was reversed without explanation. No email confirmation of the order. I followed up on the site with the order number to which the response was the order did not exist. I spent 20 minutes on a chat line, then was told to telephone a number because my order was "under review." Seriously? An order for two T-shirts for less than $40 using a valid credit card under review? Fanatics had cancelled the order unilaterally and failed to take any steps to tell me they had done so. Forget this company! Order your sports/university merchandise somewhere else.
Richard, we are truly sorry for this issue and do see that you were referred to speak with our Fan Protection specialist and we do hope this has cleared any confusion and that you are able to place an order in the future with no further issues. Sincerely, Julia.
Chastity - It sounds like you have your hands full judging by the many reviews posted. I will spare you by not talking bad about the site, however, I would like to know best practices towards getting a full refund. Unless, the order is being shipped as we speak. I needed the shirts by next weekend, but it doesn't seem like that will be happening so would rather trust the NFL.com site. Thanks for your help.
Hi Tyler. Thank you for reaching out regarding your order. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. We have expedited your order to the warehouse and we have upgraded your shipping to next business day shipping for you. We have also provided a credit for this inconvenience. Please accept our most sincere apologies. Thank you, Chastity
Ordered a few shirts on a rush and it stated guaranteed shipping or your purchase is free. Well the two items shipped out separate and one is going to take almost two weeks to get the item. Keep in mind it was guaranteed to be here in three days. Needless to say i contacted them and they made excuses and nothing was done. Complete joke and would highly recommend finding another site to purchase from.
Hello Jim, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the promotion wasn't applied. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon further review of the order, the promotion entered was for free shipping on orders over $30. The last Guaranteed to Get There promotion ended on 1/16/2018 with the selected shipping applied to arrive by 1/19/2018. The free shipping code is only for standard shipping 3-7 business days. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Repeatedly have had the same issue. After orders are left as "processing' you will have to call to see why your purchase was "flagged" since they will not email or call you with any issues they have on their end. All 3 times I was told that there was an issue with my billing address and all 3 times I have verified my address along with their questions and then told that they would update the information in their system so all future orders won't be 'flagged". This last time when I called they again supposedly updated my information but when they went to add the items back into my cart my requested sizes were out of stock. However, customer service did offer to send a 20% off coupon to my email, at this point the whole process is more trouble than its worth. I would rather pay more for the items and have competent customer service than save money and use their site.
Hello Heather, thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear about this experience and would love to work with you to get this resolved. Please reach out to us here via private message and provide your email address and we would be happy to work with you to find out what went wrong with your purchase. Thank you again, we hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Julian
I've ordered from this site 2 times before with no problem. But this time around is really scary. I've been hearing bad things about lasership and I just want my package on time. It says it hasn't even left the lasership facility yet! What's up with that? I hope my package gets here on time or I'm probably never shopping here again because this is important to me
Hello Kalayja. Thanks for your feedback. We are very sorry, but your order did not ship until today, December 23rd. However, according to FedEx tracking, your order will be delivered to you tomorrow. Sincerely, Karmen
After reading all these reviews on scared my jersey wont be here in time for opening day. I ordered it on 3/4/19 and it says it should arrive 3/8/19 but it's a Bryce Harper jersey and I think they are in high demand. Also I've been tracking the order and it still says pending. Wish I would have read all the bad reviews before ordering from this company!
Hello Dave, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item will not arrive in time. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item you order is a special event item which will not ship on or prior to 5/31/2019. On our site highlighted in green is a notification of when the item will be available. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I bought the Philadelphia Eagles face masks and I have proof they took the money out of my account. Yet when I log in to see about shipping it says no recent orders. I started getting advertising from them to my email too. There's no number to call and since I apparently have no orders there's no order # either. So basically I just gave this company $. Like I said I have account statements to prove they took the money from my account
Hello, we certainly apologize for the confusion and inconvenience regarding your order for the Philadelphia Eagles Face Coverings. We ask that you private message us your email address or shipping address so we may locate your order and resolve your issue! Thanks, Edmond
The item I ordered ( birdhouse) on March 2 has not arrived. ( waiting for one month). It seems Fanatics has no real idea when the item will arrive. Although the customer service was polite and sympathetic they don't seem able to resolve the problem.
I would never recommend ordering anything from this company.
Hello Mary, We are sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced. We contacted you for further information since we are unable to locate your order, but we have not heard back. If you still need assistance, please let us know and provide further details so that we can locate the order. Sincerely, Stacy
I placed (2) separate orders in the same day (9/24/2016) and received the second of the two yesterday (Friday 10/7). I can't for the life of me understand this business practice of taking money and not delivering in a timely manner or if they deliver at all. I mean these are just shirts that I ordered. The site has horrible reviews and I wish that I had seen reviews from others before I ordered from fanatics. I called customer service and the woman I spoke with was polite and attentive. That's great, but at the end of the day I want the stuff I paid for. I don't want fan cash or some other gimmicky thing, because I won't be purchasing from this site again. It's also nonsense for me to private message, email, call constantly just to get resolution, which I still haven't received for the first order.
Hello Jeret. We apologize for the shipping delay of your order. We are working diligently to have the package processed and shipped. We have processed a discounted refund for this inconvenience. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to reflect. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you, Chastity
I have been trying to work with Fanatics agent via chat communication to solve my problem for months. During this period of time, I received 3 tickets for my case but never got the $7.99 credit which was promised by Fanatics agent multiple times.
I purchased a lot of stuff from fantastic, nascar for me hockey for the boys and granddaughter. I forgot to check free shipping box before I sent it out, Some person in customer service took care of it in one day sent me an email just to let me know everything was taken care of they took it off my card. Real people and fast shipping = great customer service. I'm not done shopping with these people John Richmond
Holle John. Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. Thank you for taking the time to let us know! We truly value your business and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Karmen
To say I'm disappointed is an understatement... I am going to the Seahawks game this weekend and ordered some shorts and shirts online. I double checked everything to make sure the t shirts and shorts were regular fit. It said they were. Everything came in today and all of the items are "athletic cut" which means the large I ordered fits like a small... Not really the look I was going for... and now not enough time to try and get something else. $120 wasted...
Hello Molly, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. We have waived your return labels so that you are able to return the items for your full refund. Please let us know if we can assist any further. Sincerely, Dariana B.
This company uses the cheapest possible way to deliver your product and they do not inform you upon checkout. I ordered a Christmas present in November and it will take 2 months to arrive! I live in Honolulu and it should not take this long to ship something from Florida! I asked for my money back and they cannot issue me a refund and I just have to wait to receive the product whenever that will be. This company has a poor supply chain and no one should ever purchase anything from this website! They just disgraceful and unhelpful, I want my money back!
Hello Fresita, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package is not going to arrive as you expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Order that are going to ship in the outer Continental of the United States will always take longer. The only shipping options available to Hawaii or any other U.S. territories takes 7-14 business days to be delivered by USPS. On our help screen and on final check out screen will advise the shipping time frame. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Called to check on my order that I placed on 10/17/2017 provided them with the order # that I received from Fanatics confirmation email and no one could find my order or give me any information about my order. In speaking with customer service through the chat application it was a complete waste of my time. The gentleman gave up and said I would need to call and speak with someone regarding my issue. I called customer support and the lady answered and was short and no help at all she stated sorry I can't find your order not sure what is going on. I'll create a ticket and someone will get back with you. She gave me an excuse that this is a busy time and there is an influx of orders due to the World Series. All in all terrible customer experience I will never order anything through Fanatics again.
Would like to review this order with you. Can you please update your review with your order number? The order number provided is either missing a number or too many numbers.
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 Eric. Thanks for your feedback. We apologize that the recipient did not receive the Gift Certificate. We have re-sent the certificate. If you should have any other issues, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Karmen
