The worst experience i purchased a jersey on wed 9-7-16 paid $24.00 next day air shipment I tracked package and call customer service they said that's next day air service and there's nothing they can do they charged me that fee for regular ground shipment. Reg free shipment says delivery by Tuesday so why for 24.00 i get it on Monday no time commit keep in mind I'm a ups driver so i know about service. Its a shame on how they take people hard earn money. Now i have to wait till they get the item to give me a refund but took 20 seconds to withdraw the money out of my account. I called customer servive 3 times they keep you on hold for over 17 minutes and when they finally pick up its no resolution
Today is sep 18 i haven't received no credit back to my credit card and i cancelled the order and no funds received I'm about to call better business bureau and call my financial institution to do a charge back you guys are criminals> Today is September 26 I haven't revived shipment nor have I received my credit back to my account
I've ordered several items from your site in the past with no problems, and am incredibly disappointed this time. I ordered a Cleveland Indians t-shirt for myself, in hopes of having it for the ALDS. The order was placed on 9-15-17 (order # 21-**************) and it said my item would ship by 9-29-17. I checked the status of my order today, wondering why it's taking so long, and my order status just says Refunded. If you can't fulfill my order, don't list the item as available on your site. And maybe GIVE ME A LITTLE NOTIFICATION about my order being cancelled so I can order it from someone else more reliable.
Hello Kara, we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience. We have passed your experience along to the appropriate department and it is being looked into. Since you have already received a refund, we wanted to reach out to you and apologize immensely for the troubles you have encountered. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can help you further in anyway. Thanks, Dariana B.
I placed an order on 9/19/17 for a anniversary gift to give to my husband on 9/30/17. You would have thought I ordered in plenty of time. When I checked the tracking all it stated was the label was created? I chatted online with "Louise" on 9/26/17 to check the status and was assured even though the shipping information had not been updated, I would receive the item by close of business on 9/28/17. So this morning, 9/29/17, I chatted online with "Devin" because I still had not received the item. This person proceeds to tell me it is a lost package. They will either refund my money or send another one. REALLY - Guess what, it will not be here by my anniversary date of 9/30/17. They will ship it 2 day shipping with no additional cost. Thanks so much - for nothing!
I personally think they should send me the item and refund my money for their screw up! "Devin" said they could only refund my money or send me another one - not both!
I will not be ordering any more items from fanatics or anything affiliated with fanatics ever again and I wanted to make everyone was aware of my experience.
TERRIBLE customer service.
I generally do not complain but this order was for a special occasion.
Hello Paige. We apologize for the shipping delay of your order. We have expedited your replacement to the warehouse and we have upgraded your shipping to next business day shipping for you. 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, Darren M.
Ordered a customer jersey and overpaid for a piece of cheap material and stickers for numbers that fell off on day one. Why does the NBA want their logo on such a bad, cheap product
Hello Valued Customer, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you received a defective item. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. A return label was emailed you to send the item back. Please print the label and return it at any local post office or FedEx store. The return shipping charge has been waived. When our warehouse receives the item back, you will receive a confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I wanted to let you know of the excellent customer service Cristin provided me in resolving an issue I had with a damaged product. Cristin was very personable and immediately concerned with helping with my situation when we initially spoke on the phone. She validated my concerns and assured me she would help me through the process from beginning to end. After our phone call, she made immediate email contact as she said she would with next steps. She remained in constant contact while a replacement product was processed and then helped to close the issue with a new replacement product delivered.
Here is where I feel like Cristin's customer service truly stood out. All of this happened during the height of Christmas orders/deliveries and I have no doubt it was a crazy period of time for her. However, she treated my situation as if it was the only one that mattered to her in that time. She had great intentionality to make sure that I felt important.
I appreciate all Cristin did and whomever is reading this should be proud to have her working for Fanatics.
Thank you.
Hello Mark, 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 recently purchased a early Christmas gift for my boyfriend, which was a sweatshirt and I ordered a Mens L and it looks like a Boys s. I also picked Cardinals #11 and because I ordered that sweatshirt they will not give me store credit or refund my item. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I WILL NEVER SHOP ON HERE AGAIN!
My friend got into med school, so I wanted to ship him a sweatshirt from that university. So I purchased it. I have shoprunner so I should be getting the item in 2 days. A week passes. The item still hasn't shipped. I contact customer service. "Oh, sorry for the inconvenience, we will ship it tomorrow, problem with the processing. A bug." Another week passes. Still no shipment. I contact them again, get the same answer. I repeat this ad nauseum for a month, until eventually, they cancel the order. Despite the fact that I don't want to use Fanatics ever again, I have fan cash, which makes another order so cheap I can't resist another try, so I order a second item in the hopes that it will be sent this time. That was on Monday. It still hasn't sent. So the process begins again. I get the privilege of contacting them nonstop for the next month all over again.
I've used fanatics in the past and been pleased, I don't know what happened to them. How a retailer who's business is to ship me clothing survives when it's systems are so buggy that they never actually ship the clothing is beyond me. They literally can't perform the most basic and important of functions to their business.
Save your time. Shop literally anywhere else. It's worth it.
Hello Scott, thank you for your message! We apologize sincerely for any frustration this has caused you. We see your order had a 3-business day shipping expectation, but that has been exceeded by 1 day. We reached out to our warehouse regarding the order and have confirmed the package will ship today for delivery on Monday. We apologize again for the inconvenience and welcome you to reach out via Private Message if there is anything else we can assist you with. Sincerely, Sarah B.
I have had a disappointing user experience. The NBA store is horrible to search and navigate. It is not easy to filter and search for items and expect to see what you are looking for. The left side filters are not user friendly and are not complete. Also pricing may be different on the Fanatics NBA site and the individual team fan sites.
But that is not my biggest issue.
I received a special offer to save 20%/25% off $25/$50. The email does not give any details on any restrictions and neither does the NBA store. I spent a lot of time (largely because the site, searches and filters SUCK so BAD) to find exactly what I was looking for. After finally being ready to complete my purchase I go to the shopping cart and use the UPICK promo code only to find out that I cannot use it.
So I contact support.
I get an email back thanking me for visiting the NFL Shop (never been to it), and starts telling me how the site will tell me if the promo works when I put items in my shopping cart. Someone clueless and not helpful.
Instead of trying to convince me to be a customer, further re-enforces my bad experience and makes sure me, or anyone I know stays away from this crappy site.
Would like to review this order with you. Can you please update your review with your order number? The number you provided is not a order number.
I placed on order, which they said was shipped with Lasership, which were Christmas presents. They said the delivered it and left it outside an apartment complex door. NEVER RECEIVED! When I spoke with fanatics, they said they have no control, and now I'm out over $100! They have not heard the last of me. They said they would reship, but now some of my items were out of stock! THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER RECEIVED,! THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES!
Linda, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the first package was lost. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. You were asked to give it 24 hours as possibly they weren't able to complete the delivery on 12/17/2018. Today you called to advise us that the package still hasn't arrived. Upon replacing your order, one of the items were currently out of stock. You were refunded the original shipping and for the out of stock item back to the method of payment used to make this purchase. Please allow two to seven business days to reflect on your financial statement. In efforts to get the remaining items to you by Christmas, the shipping was upgraded to next business day at no additional cost to you. This package was shipped out today and should arrive by Thursday or Friday at the latest. You wanted an explanation of the refund amount and was advised that the the total merchandise price was not paid at the time the order was placed. You used a coupon code to discount the product. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
If I could give them zero stars I would. I will NEVER buy from this company again. Upon their mistake I never received my order, no emails, no phone contact to explain and when I called customer service to get my credit I got the run around and they clearly would not credit my account. They explained I had to wait for another week until they would receive the order back to their warehouse and then I am to make another call and then receive a credit. It is nothing short of a run around and you can ask all you want to speak to a supervisor and that never happens, you just get excuses. Terrible customer service, SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Hello Lucy, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the delivery of your package. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, per the tracking information that is being held for re-delivery. If you could please private message us if that is the case or not, I will be more than happy to further assist you on this matter. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
This is the second review I have written and the problem remains the same! I ordered a Pittsburgh steelers gold Pendant and received a Rams Pendant instead. After I repackaged and returned the product they sent me the EXACT SAME THING AGAIN! On top of that they told me I could not have my order corrected so basically "go screw yourself ". I will NEVER shop or recommend someone shop with this knockoff website.
Hello Alanda, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you received the wrong item. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, I show that a request to have the right shipped to you has been made. The item is a manufacturer direct item which is shipped by one of the vendors own warehouse. Once the label has been created, you will receive a shipping confirmation email. I have waived and emailed you a return label to send the incorrect item back. You can print out the label and attach it to the package. The package can be dropped off at any local post office or FedEx Store. It can take up to 10 business days to receive and process. You will receive a confirmation email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Had to pay for my order with my credit card. Then get a refund for my Fan Cash Not happy had to tie my money Up For up to seven days till I get a refund had to pay full price for my item's first I think you need to work on that thank you Alan Wilson
Hello Alan,
We appreciate you reaching out to our team, and we apologize for any inconveniences thus far. We have reached out via private message to provide further assistance, and we look forward to your response at your earliest convenience. Warm regards, Madison
I had to pay for my order. Then get a refund for my fan cash. I don't think that is very efficient. I think I should have been able to retrieve my fan cash without having to use my credit card. And get a refund it needs to be looked into.
Thank you
I placed an order on Black Friday... it is 12/12/2018 and I still do not have it! Problem is I had no choice or input in the shipping, I qualified for free shipping! Yay!... it has been a nightmare! I realize that Fanatics.com has little to do with the package once it leaves their wharehouse, however, they did contract with FedEx to get reduced pricing by subcontracting with the USPS. So your package gets to your city via FedEx and then they transfer it to the USPS to deliver to your given address, which for some reason adds 2-3 or 10 days. My order for some reason got auto returned. No joke. I never saw it, touched it or had it in my possession and it is being returned to sender as of my last update. After all my time talking, holding, submitting claims, and even trying to go into a local post office I have decided to ask for a refund. I get, " we are so sorry... of course. Blah." then I get an email I forming me it will be another roughly 20 plus or minus days for me to get my money back for processing. This is ridiculous! I should have saved myself and just gone to an NFL shop and gotten a jersey there... seriously don't risk it!
Hello Katie, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that the package is being return to sender. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, I show that you have already been refunded the entire order. Our warehouse return time frame has changed since that last template was made. The refund time now is only 10 business days to receive and refund the customer. Once refunded, it could take up to 2 to 7 business days to reflect on your financial statement. There are several different shipping methods to choose from. Because standard shipping was selected, it went out FedEx Smartpost 3-7 business days. At final stage of check out, there is a drop down box for faster shipping methods. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered a pair of Blue Carolina Panther Sweatpants on December 7th. They were shipped to me, but came in Black instead of Blue. I returned them with the label they sent me, and they proceeded to ship out a new pair. The 2nd pair arrived, and again they were Black. Again I returned them, and they shipped out a 3rd pair - and again they came black. 3 times they sent the wrong color. When I contacted them this time, they sent me another return label. They now say that they cannot ship my order, and would have to give me a refund - not because they didn't have the item, because they and messed up the order 3 times. This was a Christmas Present, and the money won't be refunded for 2-7 Business Days after they receive the returned item. Now I don't have a Christmas Present, nor the money to replace it - and they are the ones that messed up the order. Absolutely incredible!
Hello Chris, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you continued to receive the wrong color multiple times. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, they should've only shipped it twice. The reason is that if you continued to receive the same wrong color, the item may have been misplaced in the warehouse. They would've had to contact the warehouse for them to do an item check to verify that the items are stored in its proper place. The return shipping fee has been waived for all these returns. You will be fully refunded once they arrive in our warehouse. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
What a joke. I am so sorry that I ever gave them my money. I was incredibly excited to find the shirt my son wanted on this site several weeks ago. Nowhere did I see that the item would not ship until the 17th until the confirmation email. IF it was shown before the order, it needed to be more prominent. I waited until today to see if it had shipped- it is for a child who stills believes in Santa- if it ships today, it should still arrive in time. However, the website lists it as "New". I waited for the chat help for over 20 minutes (watching the little clock listing the wait time go up and down- whenever it would get down to 2 minutes, it would jump back up to 9 minutes). When the customer service rep got on the chat line, all she could repeat was that my order was scheduled to be shipped today and they still have time to ship it today but if it does not ship today, I will receive an email... SERIOUSLY? Someone, somewhere knows whether or not my order is actually going to ship today. In fact, I am pretty sure they would have known that before today. I have ordered items from other sites THIS WEEK and have already received them- under regular shipping. I only ordered from this site due to it being a Google trusted site and they are usually very strict on who they recommend... apparently not this time. I can understand that this is a busy time of year and that orders might be delayed, but a good company would let you know that much sooner. I just want to know whether or not my item is going to ship and whether or not I can expect it before Christmas. It really is not too much to ask...
Hello Shelby. Thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that your order has not shipped yet. I have sent a request to our warehouse for your order to be shipped today for delivery tomorrow, Saturday. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. We have also given you some store credit for the delay in shipping. Sincerely, Karmen
Do not buy from fanatics. They are almost impossible to reach and they won't give refunds! Will never buy here again!
I really wanted to give zero stars!

If you email customerfirst@fanatics.com from the email account used on the order, the order number, name, and shipping address, we will be happy to make this right.

Just got my Giants Grand Slam hoodie it looks and feels great and came just in time because I've got a ticket to the Giants ring ceremony April 18th and I can represent in style beautiful hoodie worth the money.

Ordered a jersey they said would be here by the superbowl. Now its arrving late and they cant even upgrade the shipping. If there was another place to order from i would
Hello Bill, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry the jerseys will not arrive in time for the Super Bowl. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the items were order on a Friday and was due to ship the next following business day. The method of shipping was for 3- 7 business days and will arrive on 2/8/2018. In order for these items to arrive in time for the Super Bowl, a faster shipping method would had to be chosen. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused. Sincerely, Julian.

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 Jonathan. Thank you for your feedback! We are so very sorry that your package did not ship correctly. We have issued a refund for your shipping charges that will post back to your original form of payment within 2-10 business days. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. Sincerely, Karmen
