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!
This will now be the third return to this company, their products have zero quality control which isn't shocking since they are printed on the cheapest thin material they can buy. If they don't care about the material why care about the print quality. Two of my shirts had the white and black fuzz poking through a peachy looking orange with globs of who knows what stuck in the print. The plastisol had cracks in it already which means it wasn't even cured correctly. I also ordered a hat that looked like it was sew by a 4 year old and it was a New Era brand which are usually really good hats. They must get a deal on the lowest quality ones. Clearly a company focused on the short term gain and not on future customers.
Tip for consumers:
Buy from a store so you can see the quality first hand
Products used:
Shirts, hats
Ordered two Martin Truex tshirts on 11/20 received one three weeks later and now they tell me the other is not coming until mid January. Two months for at shirt? They sure took the money from my account immediately though. So much for that persons Holiday present. He has to wait until mid January. I will never order from this company again. I wished I would have checked the reviews first.
I was having issues placing an order online trying to use codes and needed faster shipping. I called in and spoke with AJ. She is AMAZING. She was completely pleasant, funny, was able to handle my coupon issues, walked me through using shoprunner, helped give me ideas about future items I wanted and was able to get me the item is was looking for today for my son's birthday that is coming up in just a few days. Fantastic customer service at Fanatics. I will definitely be utilizing them for all my sports apparel needs for all the sports "fanatics" in my life!
Hello Marie, 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
On two separate occasions I placed an order for an NHL t-shirt. Both times the confirmation e-mail said "ships in one day". After a week, I checked the order status on their website which showed it as "pending". After two weeks of checking on-line, I called their customer service number only to be told (by a recording) that the orders were cancelled. If I hadn't have called, I'm pretty sure they would never had let me know the orders were cancelled. Only saving grace is that they didn't charge my card. I will never again buy anything from Fanatics. Unfortunately they seem to have a lock on the NHL apparel market. Oh well - off to the team store to make my purchase in person.
Hello Katherine, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that your order keeps being cancelled. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the order was unable to placed. For the issue to be resolved, you will need to contact our Fan Protection Specialist 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
Complete BS. The address on the site is a hotel in Miami. Can't even talk to customer service after trying to call numerous times. Ordered on December 2nd. Said they sent on the 6th. Total lies with tracking numbers that don't really exist in all their email. Disputed on my credit card. They sent an email saying there was an accident with delivery and sent a news article of a fed ex truck (even though) I had no fed ex tracking number. Then asked me to cancel my credit card dispute because they will refund me themselves in "timely manner". Don't fall for it like I did! Scam site that tried to replicate fanatics.com logo. I should have known when they don't accept PayPal.
Hello Cindy, 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
Great item, fair price and promotion and shipping was timely even during the holiday season.
I was able to use the Fancash so for those who shop like at nascar.com and I believe some other sport sites don't forget anything you bought there (as long as you made an account) will link over to use at fanatics site also.
I'm not too keen on this "handling fee" they charge.
Do your homework, buy during special promotions and 'you can get a fair price.
Tip for consumers:
Buy during promotion and don't forget to use Fancash if you have them

Hey Miyuki, Thanks for the feedback! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your ordering experience with us! We look forward to the opportunity to do business with you in the future! Best wishes to you and have a happy New Year. Sincerely, Ryan
Ordered two NFL team tee-shirts and a hoodie sweatshirt, from NFL.com. Instead of NFL, received extremely poor quality tee-shirts Fanatics.com. Quality is so poor I could see through both tee-shirts and one XXL size is equal to a medium in other brands. I never got the hoodie and Fanatics. Crap said they would give me an "order credit" for the $59 hoodie!. Tee's were $35 and $29 but not worth $3! Products are CRAP, CRAP, CRAP! Return label charges $5.50 each against my account and I will contest that with my credit card company! Bull! Stuff!
Hello David, thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry that you are this unhappy with the item you received. Our items are usually top quality, and we are concerned you may have received a defective item. We have waived the fee associated with the return and we welcome you to send this item back for a full refund at no additional cost to you. Sincerely, Sarah B.
Placed order on 9/27/16 and product has not shipped. Still showing as "new". Contacted company and they gave some story about system being updated to improve customer experience during the ordering/shipping process. Well based on my experience with this company they have A LOT of improving to do. Chatted with Angela who told me my order couldn't be cancelled but she couldn't give me an estimated ship date. Credit card was charged immediately of course. Stay as far away as you can from this company
Tip for consumers:
STAY FAR AWAY!!! You'll never get what you ordered.
Hello Trish. We apologize for the shipping delay of your order. We are working diligently to have the package processed and shipped. We would like to extend a discounted refund for this inconvenience. Please email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com and we will be happy to do so. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you, Chastity
Excited to order 6 different items, waited through three different new shipping dates, called a few times for information, expressed willingness to continue waiting, email received cancelling all items with no explanation. Only place I can buy the Marlins gear I wanted for my wife and myself. Couple hundred dollar sale lost and clearly no care on the part of Fanatics. Best part, the items are still being sold on their web site.
Hello John, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the order. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, you requested that the order be cancelled due to the delay in shipping. The representative was unable to cancel the order due to it being too far along in the process. However, they submitted a request to our Order Management Team to see if they will be able to cancel the order on their end. The order was cancelled and refunded back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered a customized football jersey and realized that I should have placed the order for a basketball jersey. I chatted with an on line representative (live chat) within 10 min of placing the order. They would not let me change or cancel the order. I also spoke with customer service with no resolution. This is an unacceptable policy. I would have understood if I had waited longer than a day where perhaps the customized order had been already underway but this was 10 minutes. Will not deal with this company in the future and found this to be extremely disappointing as a consumer. A supervisor should have had the authority to reverse this transaction.
Hello Cindy. Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry you are frustrated with our pollicy concerning customized items. We understand that you contacted us right after the order was placed - however, our system blocks our ability to cancel a customized item once the order is submitted. This is why we clearly indicate that there are no cancellations or returns on customized items. It is not because we want to be in any way upsetting - our system just will not allow it. As a one time courtesy we have reached out to the warehouse to see if it is possible for them to cancel the order on their end and we are confident that they will be able to assist us if production has not yet begun. Again, we apologize for the frustration we have caused and we urge you to read carefully all details on an item prior to purchasing in the future. Thank you so much for your business, and please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you! Sincerely, Sarah B.
Ill fitting clothing. Definitely not authentic Nike apparel. Knock offs. Ordered a GSW championship shirt and the arm holes are crooked and the shirt is not a US size. Will NEVER order again. Then you're overcharged for returns so they can benefit by keeping a large portion of your refund. Total ripoff!
Tip for consumers:
Irregular sizes. Extremely CHEAP quality.
We are terribly sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience with Fanatics. While reviewing your order, I have waived the return fee for you. Should you require more assistance, please email customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order information and we will be happy to look into this as quickly as possible. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Mariah
I ordered an item on Nov 17,2016 for a Xmas present. It said would be shipped in 3-5 days. Money was taken out same day and it is now Dec22,2016 and nothing. I have emailed and called several times with no response to emails and only get an answering machine with no return call. My order still shows unfulfilled!
Hello Amanda, Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the order number you provided does not match our format and we are unable to locate your order. We are concerned you may have purchased from a fraud site posing as us online. Please reach out via private message and provide your full name, e-mail address and any alternative order number you have and we would be happy to look into this further. Thank you again, we hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
Won't be using fanatics anymore. They messed up my order a few months ago. After several calls finally got it straight. Supervisor gave me $20 worth if fan cash to use. Went to make an order recently and noticed fancash was gone. Called and asked why, was told it had expired. Why does it expire you messed up not me. Asked for supervisor but always got excuse they were unavailable every time I called. All 4-5 times. Obviously they didn't want to deal with it. Not my fault you screwed up my order. Fancash given for that should never expire. I was told by operator that fancash was going away anyway. Probably because they were giving it out to much for all their screw ups. There are other sites to do my shopping from. Fanatics can you know what!
Hello Shawn. We are truly sorry that your Fan Cash has expired. We would love to get this taken care of for you. Can you please send us a private message with either your order number or the email address your account is under. Thanks, Cayla
Having just placed an online order with Fanatics, I would like to compliment the Customer Service Representative taking my order. She was very efficient, knowledgeable, and patient, She would make management proud! Thank you!

The wrong item was sent in the first order. I contacted them and the person on the other end of the chat said I could return it. They do not do exchanges, so to get what we wanted I had to place a second order. I took the return package to the post office that same day. It sat in some location for 1 week waiting for 'the return agent'. It was finally picked up and made it's way to the return facility in York, PA where it has been for 1 week. I haven't received a refund and they will not answer my emails.
Hello Kim. We are truly sorry that you received the wrong item. We would like to make this right. We ask that you please send us a private message with your order information. We will take a look into this further.
Sincerely,
Cayla
I ordered a Tom Brady jersey as a gift in April and it still hasn't shipped. I'm bombarded with email blasts for marketing. Maybe a warning that the item won't ship until Oct prior to the purchase? Then try to get someone on the phone. They hide under the Covid excuse.
Good Afternoon, Timothy. Upon review of the order, we can confirm the item purchase is a special event item that has a scheduled ship date of Thursday, October 15,2020. This date is provided by the manufacture and is displayed upon purchase. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Sincerely, Maribell
Super Bowl - No Shirt to celebrate the game! It is stuck in New Jersey. Fanatics do not keep their promise - website says ship on 1/26/18 then received three different emails -anticipate shipping on 1/31/18 and then merchandise shipped no later than 2/2/18 and then merchandise shipped on 2/1/18. And when I ordered the merchandise Fanatics offered 10% off for Veterans - wasn't working when trying to finalize order. Snotty Customer Rep blamed ID.com. ID.com told me that Fanatics Rep neglected to say that your order must total $40 - My order was $30. Nice trained personnel to blame the company verifying veteran status for them and a nice way to treat a Vet.
Hello Clark, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you didn't receive your package in time for the Super Bowl. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon further review, a coupon code for free shipping was used for orders over $30. The shipping method was for 3 to 7 business days. Our Military and First Responder codes are not issued by our company but a private site. Depending on which code was entered last, was the code that was applied to your order. The Military and First Responder would usually provide free shipping for the items and 10% off. Because the items were a special event item, they were due to ship no later than 1/31/2018 with the shipping method chosen. In attempt to get these items to customer by Super Bowl, the method of shipping was changed. I have refunded you the difference for the Military/First Responder discount back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Placed an order a week ago. Never got a confirmation. Sent two emails asking for any confirmation that my order was received. No response to the emails. Trying to call the phone number listed under "contact us" it seems like a non existing phone number. What a nightmare of a "business." Nobody should order from them. I definitely will not.
Asking for an order ID. Have never got a confirmation with the order ID.
It is a joke? Awful!
Hello Raisa. Thank you for reaching out, we are sorry that you did not receive an email confirmation. If you will email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order email address and billing address, we will be happy to look into and solve this as quickly as possible!
Sincerely, Cayla
I bought a card set from them and they won't let me return it. Apparently, in some tiny detail, you have to open somewhere it says, it is unreturnable( not included in receipt or anything in the process of getting the object). When all over the website they advertise a 365 day policy return. This is clear manipulation and false promises. Be wary of buying from this site as they don't let you return when they advertise their return policy.
Hello Arya. Thank you for reaching out. I apologize for the inconvenience. I see that the correct team's contact information was provided today and upon contacting them, they will be able to assist you further with the return. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or questions. Thanks, Shanick
On 9/29/16 I placed on order totaling about $300 and my credit card was charged the same day. The status still shows a new with no shipping information. The merchandise ordered is needed for this weekend. I have been ordering from Fanatics since 2007 but this will be the last time.
Hello Ryan. Thank you for reaching out regarding your purchase. We can confirm the item ordered had a processing time frame associated at the time of purchase and an email confirmation will be sent once package has been shipped. We have processed the refund of shipping 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
Cannot get ahold of them to save my life. I've tried calling and emailing for 4 days now... Purchased my order on Sunday, and haven't received confirmation it has shipped or anything. People do not waste your time ordering anything from them.
Hello. Due to the impact of Hurricane Matthew on our Fan Advocates, our contact centers were closed. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. We are working diligently to have the package processed and shipped. We have processed a refund for this inconvenience. Please give 2-10 business days for the refund to reflect. Please accept our most sincere apologies. Thank you, Chastity
Placed order on 11/2 for a Christmas gift. Originally contacted them in mid November when everything else had been delivered. Was told it's shipping in a couple of days. Contacted again at end of November and was told supplier no longer had the product and I was being refunded. Contacted again on twitter after never getting a refund and was told someone would be in contact with me. Yesterday 1/15/2020 over 2 months later contacted them again and was told supplier doesn't have the product and I will get a refund. Haven't heard that before.
Hello Jeremy, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you haven't seen the refund in your account. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. On 11/25/2019 it was determined that the item was out of stock and should've been refunded. I have escalated the issue to look into the reason the refund wasn't issued. I have reopened the ticket that was sent for a response. If you haven't gotten a response back by no later than 1/22/2020, you can reference the issue by 2034871. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered a customized shirt on a sunday, After the order completed I noticed it put two i's in my name. I called 1 minute later and they would not make the change for me. Unbelievable. Stay away, they try to rip you off any way possable.
Hell Mike. Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that your customizations could not be changed. Unfortunately, once you place an order for a customized item, no changes can be made at all. We note this information on our website in the description of the item. Again, I am very sorry for the inconvenience. Sincerely, Karmen
Ordered a T-shirt for $18.50 plus $4.99 shipping. The shirt is too big and I want smaller size. They don't offer exchanges, just outright returns. They bill $9.99 return shipping and then I have to place a brand new order for the different size and pay shipping all over again. My $18.50 shirt ends up costing me $38.47! This is a total ripoff! I don't understand how they can stay in business with no exchange policy. You don't always know how a shirt will fit until you try it on. They need to charge less for return shipping and not charge to ship out replacement new size. I'm very unsatisfied! I may just donate shirt to Goodwill and save the hassle of doing business with this company at all!
Hello Barbara, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for troubles, and we have waived the return label fee. We hope this helps. Thanks, Chastity
