Courtney | Fan Relations did a wonderful job taking care of me with my order and followed-up afterward, to ensure everything was received properly and the quality is what is expected from these expensive items. Please reward Courtney for excellence in customer service!
I ordered 2 of the VT Metallica shirts for my wife back in August. I was told 3 weeks in only one was ready and I asked them to ship it and they sent the request to do that. As of today both items are now on back order until mid October. What's the point of preordering them. Don't you know how many you can sell. You took my money and now I am without product. Shady!
I forgot the reason I don't order from Fanatics: they have horrible customer service and it will take about a month to get your order (I even paid for shipping!) There are a million sites with comparable products and pricing- just avoid Fanatics like
Placed an order for Father's Day in plenty enough time to receive in time. The perfect gift for Father's Day, they say. My order is just now shipping. Ridiculous! Will never use Fanatics again. Customer service was crap as well. Not helpful at all.
Hello Beverly, we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. We would like to discuss this with you further and see what we can do to help. Please reach out to us here via private message and we can discuss your order further. Sincerely, Cayla
Just got my stanley cup hat I ordered minutes after the final. I was so excited to get it and I'm astonished at how bad the quality is. There are loose threads EVERYWHERE. How does a hat like this get shipped out? Unbelievable. Fanatics is awful, I hope NHL cuts all ties with them. I'll be voting with my wallet until they.
Hello Patrick, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the product was of not of quality. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. I have waived the return shipping fee and emailed you the return label. You can send the item back by any local post office. If wish to keep the item. Please private message for further assistance. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
You will purchase an overpriced jersey. They will give you a fake delivery date multiple times (doesn't matter when you purchase), Fanatics will not say anything until last second. When the jersey finally arrives, you have to hope that it doesn't have crooked lettering or poor seams/stitching. The most they will offer is a 25% coupon on another future purchase that expires. I suggest you find a 3rd party for cheap. At worst, it will be the same quality it seems.
Tip for consumers:
I'm hoping they are more truthful with an email response. Otherwise, I will be looking other places to not only receive the product quicker, but cheaper and most likely same quality.
A darn shame when you can't support your team.

Jersey. Still waiting. Sent an email, no response yet. Other people will get the jersey before you, some crooked or poor material. I ordered day 1.

I have placed three orders from this site since May 2016, and each order has not met its promises. I had to contact them about all three orders i had placed to get the process going and get items shipped. This past order will def be my last as I am missing an item and its been almost three weeks since order was placed. Customer service rep was no help with the situation and instead of offering prompt shipment all he kept insisting is a refund.
Priscilla, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. We would love a chance to make this right. If you will email customerfirst@fanatics.com with the missing item information, we would be happy to assist. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Chastity
Fanatics is incredibly disappointing. They will bill your credit card immediately, and not ship your purchase for weeks, if ever. Calling customer service, you'll get put on hold, then disconnected.
They are a money grab, and you'll wind up having to call your credit card company and marking their charges as fraudulent.
Do not use your debit card on Fanatics website as you will have tremendous difficulty getting your money back when your products never arrive.
Tip for consumers:
Just don't.
They will take your money and not ship your order.
And, make sure you do NOT use a debit card - it will be very difficult to reverse Fanatics' fraudulent charges.

They never shipped my order, and refused to assist when I called customer service.
Hey Rick,
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with us and would love a chance to make this right. Please email me at customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number and info, and I will be happy to do all I can to fix this. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience but look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,

The previous reviews regarding return policy is true. Even if the mistake is on their part, they won't exchange. You have to return the item on your dime and then pay for shipping for the replacement again. They told me when I returned my jersey that they'd reimburse me for the shipping costs. Never did. Gee, big surprise. Better off going elsewhere.
Hi Dave, thank you for reaching out to us, we truly appreciate your feedback! We have confirmed our team has also followed up via email in regards to the situation. We hope that you will allow us a chance to earn your trust back on a future purchase!
I ordered Final Four shirts on a Sunday (day after Elite Eight) for the Final Four game on Saturday. I upgraded my shipping to 2 day and site said items would ship in 3 business days. On Friday, I get an email saying my items are going to ship that day. There is no way I will receive in time for the game so I cancelled the order. My son is very disappointed! If you can't deliver the goods, don't promise that you will.
And I hate live chat customer service - get an 800 number!
I recently bought 2 jerseys a few days later they went on sale I reached out to the team to try to get the price adjusted and get were very helpful at making sure I stayed as a satisfied customer Thank you for your help

Purchased a travel mug as a gift. The top slide came off, no abuse or damage, slide groove fell off - right after the 90 day defective merchandise policy. I learned of the poor quality 6 mos. After purchase. Fanatics refused to talk about the product or provide any manufacturer information for warranty contact. Was not able to speak to a supervisor?! They do not provide any warranty, only a Return policy. They don't care if they sell terrible quality items.
We are very sorry that your item has become defective. This is a Manufacturer Direct item that is shipped directly from that manufacturer. The return timeframe for Manufacturer Direct items is 30 days, not 90 days. We apologize that you were misinformed on that. The manufacturer will not accept a reutrn for a damaged item past the 30 days. You can contact the manufacturer to see if they offer any warranty on the item. It is Great American Products. Sincerely, Karmen
I will never ordr after my last experience. The co they use is awful. The 1st agent stole my package, never recv'd it but Fanatics resent another one. The 2nd delivery agent left my package on the ground at the apartment community mail boxes. I just happen to see text flash across my phone! When I saw the pic of my package on the ground I jumped out of bed to run to the community mailboxes before someone walked up & stole it! As long as they use Roadie for shipping Never, ever again will I order from them! I gave 2 stars bcause they replaced my first stolen package for free, otherwise it would be 1 star.
Tip for consumers:
find out if they are using Roadie before placing your order, if they are I would strongly advise you to NOT order from Fanatics. Roadie is a 3rd party delivery company who has workers who steal your packages or throws them on the ground in public places, nowhere near your home. Total disregard for you or your merchandise. I can't believe Fanatics would stoop so low to use Roadie. I hate it that I can't do business with them for this reason.

My only complaint is that the items I really wanted were always out of stock, even after months. So I had to settle on a secondary choice. Just wish I could shape the brim or visor better.
They have a large selection across a variety of sports leagues
Got free shipping and told me it would come in 5-7 business days! Here we are 11 days later and still nothing! Ordered a Cheer outfit for my daughter for Halloween, had to order through another vendor! Don't order here
Erica, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. The order number provided included a Men's Nike Marshawn Lynch Black Oakland Raiders Game Jersey. Could you please verify your order number and send us a direct message so that we can review the order for you. Thanks, Dariana B.
This has to be the slowest response time of any online orders that I have ever submitted. I ordered a shirt on Sept 4. I checked today, and they made a label. I ordered two other shirts on Sept 8, and the status says NEW. Not even processing yet. The website says they ship within 7 days. We need these shirts for a game coming up soon.
Hello Carolyn. Thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry for any inconvenience regarding your order for the two customized items you purchased. The 7 business days noted on our website at the time of purchase is the processing time before the items are shipped. Since we are located in Florida we had to shut down production for a few day. This has caused a slight delay in items being shipped. I apologize that your order was one that was delayed but your order should ship on Tuesday, September 19th and I have upgraded your shipping to Next Business Day shipping for this inconvenience. Please do not hesitate to contact us back if you need to. Most Sincerely, Karmen
Bought a pile of stuff for a big trip to see the Irish Hockey team, ordered a month before we needed it and two weeks out i called to see where the heck it was. Found out they cancelled the order because it was being shipped to a third party for pick up, no notice even after they confirmed the order. This company is a joke and UND should be ashamed that they are using them as a vendor.
Shameful
Tip for consumers:
There are a lot of places out there that will sell you products similar to these, I suggest you try someone else.
Hello Tim, thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that the order was cancelled. A great deal of our business is monitoring packages that are continuously reported lost at certain location. The previously location requested to have item shipped to has had frequent package reported lost, thus the reason to have the order cancelled and refund. I apologize if you were not notified in a timely fashion in regards of the reason for the cancellation of your order. Sincerely, Julian.
If you question anything about sizes or quality this is NOT the place to order from. Tried to exchange a size and was told I had to pay to ship the item back for a return then repurchase the item at today's Price and pay again to ship the item back to me. I paid $18 for a t shirt one week ago and it would cost me $35 to buy it again today AND pay $15 shipping (total) to send the item back and forth. Worst customer service I have ever received! Terrible return/ exchange policy never mind the fact that their price nearly doubled in 1 week! Blows my mind that anyone would even think of such an insane policy when there are so many options and competitors. Never again will I purchase from this company!
Andy, we are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. Please provide your order number so we may look into this issue for you. Thanks, Brandon.
I returned a bike jersey with a detailed letter. I did not have the tags, and said so. I asked for a size return. I never heard from them (>20 day) and chatted. They offered no help, and said since I didn't follow their procedure likely the item was donated to charity. I think they STOLE it.
I will never be their customer again! And I'll take this back if they decide to change their mind. They do have my contact info.

I ordered final four shirts, in their description they state they would "SHIP" no later than 3/29/18, It is now 3/30/18 and they still have not moved, label created does not = shipped... never again will i order from them.
It's now 7:00 PM Friday and still says label created. No updates. These people have no clue how to operate a business..

During 1.5 years I was ordering stuff from this site for about 10 thousand dollars. On my account was 13$ fancash.
Starting with September, they started to cancel all my I tried to reach customer support. They were transferring me to either email, chat or phone number. And nobody was explaining what is the problem and why they cancel all my orders.
Hello Anatasia, than you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the order was cancelled and refunded. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, you will need to speak with our Fan Protection Specialist regarding resolving this issue. They can be reached at 1-855-222-2564 and International customers can reach us at +1-904-383-3632. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
The CAL beanie was outstanding but the GT beanies was quite small and I don't have a large head. I think it was for an adolescent boy but I thought it said mens. Besides that, the design of the beane was great! I'll b shopping soon! TY!
Was my go to in high school!
I wish the return policy was made clear when I ordered my shirt. Just two weeks after receiving it, I was told on line that I could not return it. Yet the site advertises a 365 day return policy. The "chat" function was completely useless and there was not option to email my complaint. I don't want to spend time on the phone with a customer service representative. There are plenty of other outlets where I can buy similar merchandise without deception or hassle.
Hello Cris! We do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Our return center is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please private message us and we will work to send the return label for your item to be returned back to us.
Ordered a hat and used the same shipping and billing address. Somehow my order was shipped to a town 30 mins north of my address. The best part I can't even get the hat now because it's out of stock. I can feel free to keep checking back though. Thanks.

Ordered gift for friend with 3 day expedited shipping. Paid a rather hefty $ amount for this expedited shipping. We are now on day 7, no package. Fanatics has no meaningful updates of package. They suggest I work with FedEx and will not refund my expedited shipping fee. Fanatics states it will show up at some point and to be patient. Fanatics should at a minimum refund my expedited shipping expense and be a bit more sympathetic. They bait you into 3 day delivery charge, then do not execute.
Tip for consumers:
Unreliable shipping and customer service of no help. No reimbursement for expedited shipping expense.

Hello Mark, thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We are terribly sorry that your item has not been received yet. We were able to locate your order and have processed the refund for your shipping. The recent hazardous storms that passed through the Midwest have caused unexpected delays for some packages. Please continue to monitor your tracking information as it may take several days to update. The carriers are working to get these item(s) to you once conditions are safe. Rest assured your items are still on the way. We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to be processed. Please email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com if we can help you further. Thanks, Jessica
This is a gift for my son, he is very happy with the bag...says it is gorgeous.
Thank you for your attention and response.
I ordered a golf bag at what i thought was the sale price. I guess I neglected to click a coupon box so they charged full price. The website is a bit deceptive on listing items regardless.
I began attempting to cancel order through their bot service---was not allowed. The next day I found a phone number for their company and called and canceled the item. 3 days later item is shipped. I called and complained and they said it was a mistake by the previous person i talked to. I have to call again when item is delivered to return.
I think their business practices are questionable

They took care with my concern
