I ordered a jordy nelson packers jersey for my wife for christmas. Made sure to order with plenty of time so i ordered around nov23rd. Paying 18 dollars in ahipping id expect a month to be plenty of time. It arroved dec 24th! I was so thrilled! Until she opened it on christmas...and it was the wrong player! I understand mistakes happen so i emailed them and said that they had sent me the wrong one they then told me to send them proof which i did. Then they said if i wanted to pay the shipping the would just send me the correct one and i could keep the one the sent. I told them i had no need for this one, but i said fine go ahead and charge my card. They then told me they could not do that and i had to download an app and pay them on there. Sketchy as heck! It was an address in estonia! So they wont send me the correct jersey now because im not willing to send money to them in a foreign country. I am of options. Please someone at fanatics make this right!
I placed an order on Dec. 7th. Received an email that my order would ship no later than Dec. 13th, Well, it is now Dec. 18th and no word on my order as to when it will ship. I have called three times and each time I get the run around. This was a Christmas gift. Sure wish I had read the reviews before I ordered from this company. I cannot even give this company one star! Terrible way to run a business! This was a gift for my grandson and I am sick over this treatment.

I had purchased a 30% code to use on Fanatics in anticipation of buying some sports collectibles at some point.
I was new to the Fanatics website and they had a good deal on Basketball cards (or so I thought). I happily used my code and bought $200 worth of cards. Got my order confirmation, and ship date. 2 days before shipping, they CANCELLED the order.
Okay no big deal, but what about the promotional coupon code I bought?
I went to the online chat help site, and inquired if I could get my code back. The support person on the other end, Bryan, said "Sure, should be okay." So right there, I decide to test that theory and attempt to order something from their site using my 30% code. The website reject the code saying there is a problem with it now (of course there is, it was used on the CANCELLED ORDER).
I ask Bryan what he could do for me, he says, "Sorry, you have to call in to get that resolved."
Okay, fine. I attempt to call in. Endless busy tones. Not able to get through.
How does a company that treats its customers like this stay in business?
Terrible.

Hello Belinda. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order. Please email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com to provide your order number and a brief account of why you are contacting us so that we may assist you further. Sincerely. Karmen
I want to thank Chasity for all her help with my order. I had placed a order for a hoodie and the quality was subpar. She personally reached out to me and did everything she could to make sure that I was taken care of. If it wasn't for her I would be taking my business elsewhere. She's great!
Hello William, 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
I order a bathing suit top for VERY special occasion, they sent the wrong size and they promised me they would overnight the new size, It got here after I was already gone on my trip. I've been waiting for someone to reach out to me for 2 weeks now. I'm returning everything I purchased and NEVER ORDERING AGAIN!
Hello Monica, we are terribly sorry that your package was not received within the timeframe provided. At this time we show that a return label was sent and you may return the items for a refund. Once the items are received and processed, please give 2-10 business days for the refund to reflect. Please accept our most sincere apologies. Thank you, Jessica
Got this black Ohio State hooded sweatshirt for my husband and he loves it. Made of good quality material and looks like it will wear well. Would highly recommend this.
I placed an order on October 31st. Two items were too large. I returned them on the 9th. On the 20th, after my items were received I contacted support for my refund, they said they had email it on the 11th. Nope. So, they said they would do it again. Nope. So, I contacted support, they tried sending to 3 different emails and none came through (obviously a problem on their end). As a result I do not have Christmas presents my son is expecting and I will NOT be reordering after spending over an hour with chat reps.
Hello Jim, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you didn't receive the gift certificate email for the refund. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, I show that a ticket was entered to refund the certificate back to the original form of payment. Once they have completed the transaction, you should receive a confirmation email. Please let us know if you haven't received the email in the next 24-48 hours so this can be looked into further for you. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I am very happy with my purchase of the Green Bay Packers items I ordered. My son just adores his jacket! He loves his long sleeve shirt and matching hat.
They charged me $12 in shipping and they make it nearly impossible to return something and now they are going to charge me $10 to ship the return. Plus from what I've read they won't even refund my money! They advertise as the official store of the university of Tennessee but THEY ARE NOT UTK! Don't buy from these people.
Hello M,
I am truly sorry that we dropped the ball on your order and would love to have the chance to make things right! I have sent you an email regarding your order and am looking forward to hearing back from you! Best regards, Shane
3 times now I have placed an order with Fanatics, and all 3 times it sits pending for almost a week until I reach out to inquire about it. They then tell me "there was a problem processing the order on the back end, and you'll receive a refund". I didn't want a refund I wanted what a I ordered. This has caused me not to have a birthday present for someone, a Christmas present, and a Father's day gift for my husband (which was his first Father's Day, having quite a bit of meaning for him).
UPDATE: No, you did not tell me purchasing was blocked. This is what I was told:
"Hello Andrea,
Thank you for choosing us for your favorite sports fan gear. Your business is very important to us.
We can certainly understand the frustration and apologize that you haven't received any notifications regarding the cancellations. We kindly ask that you work with the Fan Protection Team before placing another order to avoid it happening again.
We hope this helps. If you need further assistance, simply respond to this message and we will be glad to help."
This says in the future I should contact them. Aside from that, if there was a problem with my order, don't you think YOU should have reached out to ME?
Hello Andrea, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that your order continues to cancelled. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of your order, you were advised to contact our Fan Protection Specialist over the account being blocked from making purchases. In order for this matter to be resolved, they will need to verify information with you. Until this happens, you will no longer be able to place or receive orders with our company. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian.
I love fanatics, their prices are reasonable, great customer service, quality products and easy to place orders, however - I had a very bad experience when I ordered a personalized jersey for my boyfriend's birthday - Fanatics used UPS solutions - they work with the US Postal Serv. And not once but TWICE they lost my order, after it got lost the first time I asked Fanatics to use a different shipper (I even offer to pay more for shipping) and I was told that was not an option so I took a chance and order it again and AGAIN it got lost. Other than that I love Fanatics
Hello Carmen, Thank you so much for your feedback! We are truly pleased that you had such a great experience and that you took the time out of your day to let us know. We appreciate all of the feedback we received, both positive and negative, but of course, the positive always feels best! If there is anything we can do to assist you further, please let us know. Thanks again, Sam
I received my sweatshirt yesterday and it STINKS! I received it at my work and put it in the back seat of my truck until I got home... my truck STINKS now! I put it in the dryer with a scented dryer sheet... my dryer STINKS now! My laundry room STINKS now! I can not get rid of the smell! VINEGAR!
Hello Mike, we are sorry that the item was received in such a manner. We will be more than happy to process a replacement item if you would like. We ask that you please send us a private message with your response. We look forward to hearing from you and correcting the issue. Sincerely, Whitney P.
I ordered and XXL OU hoodie "honoring our troops". When it finally arrived I found it wouldn't even fit a 12 year old and proudly proclaimed "made in China!"
When I complained they offered my a 30% off coupon.
Hello Greg, I do apologize for the inconvenience. I have reviewed your order and I reached out to you via email to the email address on the order. We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, David
I ordered 6 items that the site quoted would be shipped in one day and delivered in 19 days at the latest. I received a notice that one could not be sent as it was out of stock. Another shipped 5 days later and won't arrive until after the promised date... which is after the trip for which I ordered it... the others wee shipped yesterday which is 8 and not 1 day as promised and they will get here? Who knows! The website continues to quote that the very same items will ship in 1 day and arrive in 3 to 5 days. Dishonest! I would not have ordered anything had I known their delivery reality. I even called before ordering to confirm that everything would arrive before my trip. Something told me not to deal with this company. I wish I had read the reviews. I'm hoping this review will spare someone from dealing with this incompetent company who makes promises that they know they can't deliver (literally) on! Don't quote a shipment time or a delivery time and maybe you won't have angry customers that won't be return customers. You are 0 for 6!
Hello Linda, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the order not shipping within the time frame. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Due to an outage in one of the warehouses caused packages to be delayed in shipping. Upon attempting to ship out the other item, it was determined that the item was out of stock at the time of picking the item. Due to one of the item was going to be too late to receive, you requested to have it cancelled and refunded. I will be more than happy to further assist you with this order if there is anything more that can be suggested. You can private message me your request. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I am beyond frustrated with this company. I ordered an Indianapolis Colts jersey case from Fanatics for a gift and received a New England Patriots Jersey case instead. I called the company and reported this requesting a new item and sent the package back to the manufacturer. The next day I receive an email from someone at fanatics saying the manufacturer needs more information and needs pictures to confirm before taking any corrective action. Luckily, I took photos of the item (which fanatics did not instruct me to do initially) and sent the return email. I again called to discuss with someone my situation and have a time situation as this is a gift and given the mistake on fanatics end, I needed this corrected. I was assured that a replacement item would be sent. Another day goes by and I receive the same email from someone at fanatics from the manufacturer stating they need pictures before anything will happen. I resent the pictures and email, called again, requested to speak to a supervisor and was told the item would probably be shipped to me soon. I am now past the date for the gift and am ready to cancel the order, do business elsewhere and do not recommend anyone doing business with this company. Mistakes happen, but when they refuse to fix them, I would rather spend more money somewhere else. Today I will have to call for the 4th time to get a refund, cancel my order and have not received my item or even reassurance that the correct original item I ordered and have paid for, is being shipped.
Frustrated beyond belief.
DA

We value your business and would like the opportunity to make this up to you. For the inconvenience we have also issued a 20% refund back to your original form of payment. Please allow 2-10 business days for this refund to reflect back in your bank account.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.
Sincerely,

High prices, slow delivery, poor quality. I imagine the nfl licensing fee is horrendous, but apparently the nfl cares more about $$ than customer satisfaction.
Hello Michael, 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
No delivery of product ordered and paid for 6 weeks ago... no customer service reply... nothing at all! COMPLETE SCAM site - buyer run fast and far away!
Hello Ripped O. Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, the order number you have provided does not belong to Fanatics.com. We suggest that you contact your bank to dispute the charges for the order you placed. Please let us know if you should need any further assistance. Sincerely, Karmen
I ordered a jersey… shortly after I received a tracking number but the tracking is not working… so 10 days later I emailed customer service and to this day, no response… where is my order?
Good Afternoon, Amelie. I will be happy to look into this for you. Can you please send me an email to customerfirst@fanatics.com with the order details? Thank you, Maribell.
So I bought a jersey over 2 weeks ago and apparently it takes that long to "process" my order. I called to cancel my order they said they can't cancel since it's gone to the "warehouse". So now I have to wait to get my jersey to return it. How stupid is that? DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.! Wish I would have read all these reviews before I ordered.
Hello Wil, we truly apologize that your order has not been shipped as yet. If you would please reach out to customerfirst@fanatics.com for assistance with getting this issue resolved and I have waived your return fee for the inconvenience. Please accept our most sincere apologies. Thank you, Ryan
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
Hey Brian, I am sorry for any confusion, the order number you supplied doesn’t match in our system. When we reship a product if it was shipped incorrectly, it is waived for your trouble. I would like to help you with this issue and figure out If it was ordered off the incorrect site.
At your earliest convenience, please email customerfirst@fanatics.com. When contacting, please verify the order number again, and if you would send the link or a screenshot of the website you bought the product off. I understand this is frustrating, but I look forward to helping you. Sincerely, Ryan
