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 ordered three items from this scam site. Each item arrived in some sort of disrepair. Wall clock was defective. "Personalized" Christmas tree ornaments had hand-written manuscript that looked like a group of 1st graders were on staff that day. Trying to return the items was a nightmare. Customer service is unresponsive and borderline unwilling to help. (See Manager Marian with an "a"
I am still waiting for items that were guaranteed to deliver by 12/22. In addition, an item was not available, the transaction was cancelled without me being notified, and the money was returned to a gift card that I had already thrown out. I spent over an hour trying to resolve this issue on Christmas Eve, thought it was all set, and yesterday received an email that the money was put back on the gift card that is in the garbage. I am on hold again. I wish this company did not have a monopoly on sportswear because it allows them to treat customers like this and get away with it.
Tip for consumers:
shop anywhere else possible before using fanatics

Hello Nicole. We apologize but the refund has already been issued back to the Gift Card you used. If it a Visa Gift Card you can contact them for further assistance. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a few hats and t shirts ready for international shipping. Under my orders it doesn't list under "Active Orders" it's just under all orders and it's status is Shipped. Does it really take 21 days to ship internationally. Like I'm not even sure if it's even shipped, how can it possibly take this long?
Hello Jia! Thank you for your feedback. We apologize sincerely for any confusion regarding your package. The package is reflecting as a "Shipped" status because it did leave our facility on April 20,2016 in two separate packages. Transit time to Singapore can take up to 21 business days, and we do apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause. If you do not receive your package by Friday, May 20,2016 please let us know right away and it would be our pleasure to work with you to resolve the issue. We value your business and hope to serve you again soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
I placed an order several days ago with the guaranteed Christmas Eve delivery. My order was supposed to be here on 12/23/2015. They ended up being shipped seperate. One of the orders is schedule to arrive tomrrow and the other now looks like can not be found since it left Ohio on 12/21/2015.
I can't believe that they ship fedex when it's crunch time
Hello Audrey. Thanks for your feedback. We apologize that you have not yet received all your order. Please provide us with your order number and we will be happy to assist you further. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a hat with 2 day shipping. It was sent 4 days later FedEx Smartpost. (which on FedEx's site shows will take at least 3 days). Well, it has been 2 weeks and I'm still waiting. Customer service (if you can get them to respond, I sent 2 emails that were ignored and waited on hold for 30 minutes) does not seem to care. I was told it takes 2-10 business days to process orders, then they apply the shipping method requested (but not in this case!). Plenty of legitimate places to shop so stay away from this site!
Tip for consumers:
Don't do it!!!!!!

I ordered a shorts just now but I didnt received any confirmation email? I've seen some bad reviews regarding to my case.
When I insert the order# into track order it shows "Your order could not be found. Please check that you've entered the order number correctly."
Seriously? Payment has been made in a second but processing takes forever?
*Updated*
Chastity responded to me and it showed the shipping label has been created on the same day but not shipped yet. Will look forward and update the event. 5 stars will be given If I got it on expected delivery date. Thanks Chastity!
***LATEST UPDATE****
I received my parcel on time and it looks great! I am happy with the service! Thumbs up. Thank you very much! =D
Upon reviewing we do see the order for the 2698500 Men's Nike Royal Duke Blue Devils Practice Performance Shorts. You checked out as a guest is the reason you did not receive an confirmation email. Your order shipped out today 10/25/2017 and scheduled to be delivered no later than 11/2/2017.
We paid for 3day shipping, well here it is a week later and still haven't received but 1 of the 2 items. I called customer service and was told the 3 day shipping starts after processing which took several days. They will charge you for expedited service, but you receive regular services! Ppl please keep your coins when it comes to these crooks!
Hello Sherekia, Thank you for your feedback!
I am very sorry that the item wasn't shipped as you anticipated. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. On our website, we try to inform customer that demand made items will take 3 business days to process. Depending on the shipping method chosen, it will arrive 3 business days thereafter. Your order was placed on 9/25/2017 and shipped 9/28/2017. The package is on schedule to arrive by 10/3/2017.
Once again, I apologize by any frustration this may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Julian
I recently purchased the 'City Edition' light blue Cubs tshirt. For a $30 Nike shirt, I'd expect a premium level cotton. I didn't even get a chance to wear it once after it was washed. The cotton turned stiff, it shrunk and changed shape. I will be returning this item.
I would NOT recommend this shirt.
Daniel - I am sorry to hear that your Cubs shirt fell apart like that. I have issued you a refund, which will post to your account in the next 2-7 business days. If you need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at customerfirst@fanatics.com -Jimmy
Products are low quality, you pay to have them shipped to you & then when your not happy with them they charge you an analysis 5.50 too ship then back. Basically I just donated 10.50 to this company! I tried working with customer service, that was a joke! I will never buy from this company again!
Hello Molly. Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that your return fees were not waived for you. I have now waived all return fees so that the $5.50 will not be deducted for your refund. Sincerely, Karmen
My previous review was sadly lacking. Over billing with strange charges labeled tax, different stories( lies) from different people, no corporate response to even try to resolve my disagreement, tracking is so bad you could say non existing. Check the other reviews and the common factor is the apology. Interestingly enough that would imply responsibility and remorse but clearly they are quite happy to blame it on someone other than themselves and assume no responsibility. Buy ellseware
Hello John, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! Upon reviewing we see your package shipped out 12/02/2017 with 5-10 business day shipping. Your order should arrive no later than 12/15/2017. Your order is not lost. Tracking sometimes don't update. Again, we apologize and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Brandon.
Generally, if you pay for overnight shipping, one would assume the retailer holds up their end of the bargain... not fanatics. Instead, they send via 2-day and it arrives too late so the order is useless to me. When contacting customer service they were far less than helpful. They said I'd need to pay for the 2-day shipping. Not sure what world that makes sense seeing Fanatics made the error, not me. Either way, now the order hasen't even arrived and no communication why so I'm out a bunch of money and didn't even get the items.
My one point of solace, every day I go to Google and click on a handful of their paid ads from multiple browsers, costing them about $15-20 a day. I'll keep this up for the foreseeable future until they make this right and refund all costs associated with this order.
Hello Matt, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you haven't received your package. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The item that was purchased was a demand made item. The item goes into production soon after the purchase has been made. It can take up to 3 business days to complete. The item was completed on 3/26/2018. Per the tracking details, the package was loaded on the truck on 3/28/2018 and was undeliverable because the business was closed. The package is now being returned to sender. Please allow 10 business days to be received at our warehouse. You will receive a refund confirmation email once refunded. After refunded it may take 2 to 7 business days for your financial institution to reflect the refund on your statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Placed order and size changed at checkout. Called within minutes. Couldn't even hear rep who said their phone systems were sketchy (nice POS voip). Can't change order once placed, can't give you a cancellation confirmation #, 7 days for a refund.
Will never even THINK of using fanatics ever again.
Hello Ray, 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
Horrible delivery response and customer communication. Ordered a jersey for express delivery and received 6 days past due date.
Don't purchase anything from these shysters if you want it on time.
Just disrespectful.
Hello Ken, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package wasn't delivered as expected. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, your order was place on 9/9/2019. Due to inclement weather the fulfillment center was forced to shut down for a few days. However, it didn't change the shipping method that was chosen at the time the order was placed. Standard ground 3 to 7 business days shipping was chosen. But as the order was placed prior to the shut down, the shipping method was upgraded to meet the deadline of 7 business delivery. The package is scheduled to be delivery today 9/18/2019 as promised. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Originally placed an order on February 12th 2018, for super bowl memorabilia. I completely understand that it takes time to schedule the athletes to sign. However, the item was shipped in March and still isn't here.Fed ex was supposed to deliver 4 days ago. They never did. It's lost in limbo. Live chat fanatics and they keep quoting the fed ex tracking info. Same info I already had. No real interest in helping their customer. Have purchased many items over the years and they could care less. Good chance I won't purchase from them in the future.
Hello Gerry, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the item hasn't arrived as of yet. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Per the FedEx website, there has been several attempts to deliver the package. Unfortunately, there was no one available or business was closed and second attempt was due to weather delay. However, they have scheduled to have package delivered by end of business day 3/28/2018. If you have not received your package by no later than 3/30/2018, please contact us so the package can be deemed as lost. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
If there was a way to give this awful website a "0" I would do it in a heartbeat. I don't usually rate or write reviews for anything, but I felt so strongly about their poor customer service I felt the need to tell future customers to NOT shop here. Hands down the worst people I've ever dealt with, they don't even know what they are talking about and they had my package delayed even further for their poor shipping policies. Now FedEx has my package all screwed up because plain and simple Fantatics sucks. I've taken probably an hour out of each day for the last 3 days trying to figure out where my package is and if I can finally pick it up. Still haven't received my package or any information on where it is. F this stupid website.
I had an issue with a recent order and had to call customer service on 12/20. Due to the time of year I was on hold for a while but once I reached a customer service rep she could not have been more helpful and polite. A very pleasant surprise after reading some other online comments.
Hello J, thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are so happy that even though you had an issue with your order that you had a pleasant experience! Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to serve you and we would be happy to help. Sincerely, Sarah B.
Kudos to the agent went the extra mile - "Aishi" (sp?) was proactive, took an action above and beyond expectation.
She listened … actually listened!
Keep up the excellent work.
To Fanatics: excellent customer service is considered the highest badge of merit that a company can earn. Look into your return process, make it easy, not cumbersome.
Hello Jacque, Thank you for taking time out of your busy day and reaching out to us. We are grateful for the positive feedback! Thanks, David
We ordered two jerseys and only received one, like the review below. When we reached out, they were simply, "oops" (because they fked up) and told us the jersey was now sold out. What the fk? At least offer some sort of reconciliation. Beyond disappointed, wish I could give them a negative star!
Yes we do apologize for the inconvenience on your previous order with the out of stock item. We ask that you and your husband place a new order and we will refund you a percentage back on your card. We do apologize for this inconvenience.
Easy enough to order, good selection. I needed merchandise within two weeks and all items ordered had 4 day (in stock) shipping so I thought I had plenty of lead time. Turns out that wasn't the case, order was received 16 days later!
Could not wear for event. Don't assume they have order in stock - if you're on a time crunch use a more reliable source.
Hello Rob, thank you for your response. I am very sorry about the shipping expectation. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, the items were considered to be made on demand. Which once the order has been placed, it can take up to 4 business days to complete and package to ship. The package would then ship by whichever shipping method that was chosen. Because the standard ground shipping was selected, it was shipped out FedEx Smartpost which can take up to 3-7 business days to be delivered. On the final stage of checkout, you have the option to change the shipping method for a faster delivery time. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I was so excited when I received my Christmas gift, I'm a HUGE fan of my college and felt like I was 5 years old again when I saw the item. Unfortunately it had broken during shipment, and my girlfriend had driven the gift to me from 2 states away. As busy as she is I said I would take care of the return, made a call to Fanatics and 2 nice gentlemen got me set up. I was happy, then...
A week later an email is sent out, the replacement had been shipped, but back to my girlfriends house 2 states away! This meant I would not get to enjoy my gift for months, I was sad.
I sent a desperate email to a Donna, who took the initiative and called Fedex, had the item re-routed to me!
Super happy! Thank you all! Happy 2020!
Hello Jay, 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 look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Julian
Thank you to Supervisor Michelle for going over and beyond to listen and address my concerns today. She was very understanding, accommodating, and polite from the moment we got on the phone till the very last second. The experience and issues I've encountered prior to speaking with her was very frustrating, but she did an excellent job being able to answer/resolve all of my questions and issues. Thank you once again, Michelle!
This is the second time I have ordered shirts from Fanatics waited forever for them to arrive only for the graphic to be crooked on the shirt. One happened years ago on a Chicago Cubs world series champions shirt and now on a Seattle Kraken shirt that I had to wait forever for as a pre-order. Finally it came last week and the graphic is completely crooked. I swear Fanatics just tries to churn out product as fast as they can and don't even look at what they are doing.
Hello Eric, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the shirt was defective. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Can you please private message us if you want to have the shirt reshipped? Sincerely, Julian
It was rocky at first but everything worked out, I'm happy and my son is happy with his new bookbag for the school year. I will be getting more stuff in the future. I recommend this site to everyone including my friend's and family. Thank ya'll so much.
Hello Devin 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. Please provide us with your order number so that we may provide you with some store credit for your survey. Sincerely, Karmen
Fanatics just started adding a $1.99 handling fee to each order. I for one will never order from these morons again. Lets see if the new fee offsets the loss of customers. Guess the COVID-19 and fresh air fees can't be far behind.
Hello William, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the shipping and handling fee. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Can you please private message us with your order number or email address? Sincerely, Julian
