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!
Fanatics is a great website that not only has sports related items of all kinds, but so many other choices. Visit their website and look around. You'll see.
Past experiences over the years, all FANtastic!
I ordered two hats. They didn't fit so tried to return them.
One didn't work on their system, I tried multiple times to get it fixed which they couldn't after a ton of correspondence. Each time having to start from the beginning.
I was told put them both in the box and return.
I did. I was refunded for one hat, but not the second.
I have now had a million email interactions, at each point they don't read the email, they say the same thing. I have tried their chat with an operator, they wanted me to call a number in the US off my mobile instead of trying to get in touch with me or have a UK or at least a number that doesn't cost £2 a minute!
A million tickets raised... absolute garbage.
I did everything they asked, it has now been 3 months and don't have my money.
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER.
It is NOT worth it.
Use any other company.

It's been over a month since I ordered and no product has arrived. Crappy shipping method has no tracking. I'll be doing a chargeback. I've tried calling 3 times. After a long time listening to hold music the call simply ends. I've tried there online chat and no one is ever available. Email is not an option.
Tip for consumers:
Never received product. Nonexistent/unavailable customer service

I ordered a Father's Day present on Monday and it is now Friday and the item hasn't even left their warehouse yet. When I wrote them back to complain and ask them to please expedite the shipping to resolve the issue, they responded 2 days later instead giving me a $10 credit to their store... to me this is completely worthless since I'm never shopping here again. I wish I could give them less than one star and I wish I checked out all their terrible reviews before ordering with them.

I simply ordered a T-shirt from this company on 5/20 and received an email confirmation. It's now been nearly 3 weeks since I placed my order so I tried to track my order. Their website didn't recognize my order# or email address so I opted for the live chat. Even after attaching and sending a copy of my order confirmation, they still were unable to help locate the order. Unbelievable! I would be very hesitant to place an order or give these people your credit card info.
Hello John, thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We would love a chance to make this right. If you will send us a private message with your order number and email address, we will be happy to make this right. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Ceterija.
LOUSY service as well as customer service. Ordered an item back in April that I never received and was never given a reason why after being on hold for 20 minutes. Went to place another order in July of the same year and the same thing happened. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Stay away from this toxic site

Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I received two shot glasses that I bought as a birthday gift for a friend. The glasses had barcode stickers or something of the sort on the rim, so I wanted to take them off before gifting. There was glue residue that didn't come off, so I washed them in soapy water. Well the team logo decal quickly began to peel off! Went online to get a refund, and they want to charge you 9.99 for a cash refund! Either that or you have to take store gift card. Which is unfortunate as I don't plan on shopping with them again!
Tip for consumers:
Just don't purchase glassware from them. It's garbage and you will only get a partial refund or store credit.

Ordered a Penn State Jersey - lasership tried to deliver it 5 times saying they needed more information. Emailed them 10 + times and no response. Called many times and never got through to anybody. I asked CS at Fanatics to contact the shipping company and they said that they could not make outgoing calls. What a sham company. They seem to have a nice selection of product but the service sucks!
Hello Steve, thank you for your feedback, I am very sorry about the delivery package. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review of the order, the item was shipped out on 12/4/2019. The shipping carrier attempted to deliver the package on 12/7/2019 but more information was required to complete the delivery. Several attempts by the carrier was made to make the delivery. Because the package exceeded the the time frame, the package was deemed lost and refunded on 12/12/2019 back to the method of payment used to make the purchase. Per the tracking with the carrier, it reflects that the package was delivered on 12/17/2019. If this is not accurate, please email me at Customerfirst@fanatics.com so I can further assist you with the order. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Order a shirt on 9-23 and when order they had 8 in stock. 3 to 5 business days to ship. Been going on 3 weeks now and emailed server times and called, left messages. No answer. Period. Would like refund, but they way things are going, that isn't going to happen either. Buyers beware, always look at reviews. Lesson Learned
Hello, we are happy to take care of this for you! We are terribly sorry that you item has not been received yet. If you will email us at customerfirst@fanatics.com with your order number, we will be happy to look into and solve this as quickly as possible! We appreciate you reaching out to us and look forward to speaking with you soon! Thanks, Chastity
I received the wrong size of my jersey that I had ordered. I bought this jersey 25% off and thought I would have just been able to exchange it, however they don't do exchanges and now the sale is gone. They expect me to buy a jersey at full price now due to their mistake. Also the amount of time that it supposedly takes to receive your refund is extremely long and that makes me feel extremely uneasy. Will not be buying the jersey from fanatics unless customer service finds a good solution.
Hello Ashmit. We would like to work with you to get this matter resolved and we would be happy to honor the price you paid on the new purchase for the same item. Once you place a new order, send us a private message and we will refund the difference. We have also waived the return label fee so you will not be charged to send the jersey back. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to expedite the return timeframe, but you will receive confirmation once it has been received. If we can do anything to help further, please do not hesitate to send us a private message. Sincerely, Cayla
This website plasters all over their website why you should order with them and about their "hassle free" returns. If you order something incorrectly they will not exchange but will refund and expect you to re-buy the item after skimming a $5.50 fee off the top of your credit. I talked to their customer service and they said unfortunately I would have to pay. Stay away from here and use a true hassle free service such as Amazon.
Hello Joshua, Thank you for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for the frustration you have experienced. We no longer offer exchanges, but as a courtesy we have waived the fee associated with your prepaid return label. Please feel free to return the item at no cost to you! If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know. We value your business and hope to serve you again soon.
Ordered something from them that is a manufacture direct item. Got the confirmation email and went to check the order status next day. It is not on their web site. The order that I received a month ago still shows as pending, also. Tried using the help section, but it is incorrect and shows navigation that does not exist.
Did a chat session and got a lot of attitude from the Fan Advocate. I don't think that word means what she thought it meant. Had to get a supervisor on the chat and wasted 10 more minutes to get it cancelled. Well, they said it would be cancelled. I am betting I will have to cancel the CC transaction myself.
Tip for consumers:
Order elsewhere...
Hello Sean, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. We have submitted the ticket to have this order cancelled. Please allow the time frame given for refund to process. Thanks, Brandon.
My wife and I are longtime Cubs fans. Wife has been a fan since toddler. Ordered two items to celebrate and their POS carrier LaserShip loses shipment. Says it was delivered, we were home that day never got it. Contacted CSR and they said it'll reship, a few hours later an email comes and say one is out of stock and being refunded. I don't want a refund, I want what I ordered. Now that Fanatics ruined our Xmas, I will never shop with them again.
Hello Richard, thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear about this experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to pick our gifts and have them fall through completely. It is not unusual for Lasership packages to show up a week after marked delivered - it is possible you will still get the package. However, we have confirmed your full refund has been issued for the total value of the purchase as well as an additional credit added to your account to use towards a future purchase. If you do place another order with this credit, please pass on the order number via private message and we would be happy to see what we can to expedite the delivery. Thanks again, please let us know if there is anything else we can do. Sincerely, Sarah B.
I usually do my homework when something looks to good to be true but I wanted to get a jump on the order being that my team is in the Stanley cup and the 1st home game kids Saturday. After completing my order they were quick to deduct funds from my account but failed to send even a email confirmation with shipping information. Feeling very uneasy after now reading all the negative reviews.
Hello Terrence, Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, the order number you provided does not match our format and we are unable to locate your order in our system. We are concerned you may have purchased from a fraudulent 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 may have received and it would be our pleasure to look into this further for you. We are so sorry for the confusion and anxiety this may cause and we look forward to hearing from you soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
I ordered a Utah Jazz Infant Personalized Bodysuit for my niece size 0-3 months, and figured delivery like every other place I'd ever heard of would be a week/week and a half at most. I checked my order status the next day and found out they weren't even going to ship it until a month from my order date. She's a baby. She would've grown out of it after wearing it twice! So I called in to cancel the order and request a refund. They said the order was from a third party and that cancellation could only happen within 30 minutes of placing the order and so it was too late. Overall ridiculous experience. Take your business elsewhere.
Tip for consumers:
Use another site. This one is a ripoff.

Hello Tanner, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the delivery date. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, this item is a manufacturer direct item which on our site was not scheduled to ship until 12/3/2019. Once the order has been placed on a customized it, these sales are considered final. However, I have sent a request as an escalation to see if it will be possible to cancel your order. Unfortunately, I can not make you any guarantees. Once they review your order, you will receive an email with resolution to this situation. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
Where's my order? I too placed an order and as the site stated "get it by 12/23"! I've been waiting all day. I've had my gift boxes and wrapping paper on stand by. Now I have no gifts for my boyfriend?! How embarrassing!
I just went back to review my emails. I did find one that says get it by 12/23 or is free... maybe just another lie?
Hello Irene! Thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry for the frustration we caused you. We are pleased to see that your package was marked as delivered on 12/24. Of course since it did not arrive by 12/23 as promised we have refunded you for the $65 cap per the promotion guidelines. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with and we would be happy to assist you further! Sincerely, Sarah B.
Be sure you review your order and dont get in a hurry like I did. Customer service would not give me the item as it was prices on their site the day I bought it or even to check that day. I could not pull it up when using history so I had no way to prove the amount. And they said the discount did not apply to the items I bought. Check everything before you hit the purchase button and do a screen shot just to be sure. When I first ordered from them when they were a fledgling company they were great. The more times I order the worse it has gotten. Too big for their britches. They have lost me! And my family. They probably don't care..
Hello Deanna, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the frustration this has caused. We have issued a refund for the $5 difference between the sale price and the price paid, as well as provided a credit towards a future purchase. We hope this is acceptable to you and welcome you to reach out if there is anything else that we can assist you with. We value your business and hope to serve you again soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
I received the wrong item, not once but TWICE. Had to return both times. They expect you to return items when it was THEIR mistake. Don't take into account time and trips to P. O. Item was out of stock. Now I get an e-mail saying no refund because another item was shipped. UGH! I could scream. The more I try to fix their mistakes the worse they get. The need to take some lessons from other Companies about good customer service.
Tip for consumers:
Order from another company!!
Hello Kathy, we are terribly sorry to hear about your negative experience! We would love to have the chance to make this right. Upon reviewing we see only one item was returned. Did you return both items at the same time or separate? Thanks, Brandon.
I placed my order on December 10 and was to be shipped within 7 days, we're on day 10 now. I checked the order today and it hasn't even processed yet. I've attempted to call them at three different numbers, all with insane wait times. I was on hold from two different phones at once, one was up to 46 minutes before I finally hung up.
They had NO problem charging my credit card that very same day though. Where's my order?
I received the wrong shirt on my order. I purchased a Stephen Curry shirt for my son. (His favorite basketball player). I received a Buffalo Bills mens shirt! So, I called in and spoke with Spencer. He was very fast, charming, and took care of everything for me! I understand sometimes stuff like this happens, and wrong merchandise gets sent. I appreciate how the situation was corrected and how fast! Just in time for Christmas! Thanks Spencer! As someone who has worked in customer service for years, I hope this company knows what an asset you are!
Thank you for choosing us for your favorite sports fan gear Lora! Sincerely, Chastity
I purchased my son a pair of $60 shorts for Christmas and by the time he got them and wore them it was over 30 days. The first time that he wore them the waist band/drawstring ripped out. All I wanted was to exchange the defective item but it is against their return policy. Personally I think if a product is defective they should replace it. All they offered me was $10 off my next order which I really don't plan on ordering from them again. Why advertised 365 days return policy when it doesn't apply to defective items!
Hello Paula. Thank you for your feedback! We are very sorry that the item became defective. Unfortunately, the item is not returnable. However, we have issued a partial refund for the item, for 50%. The refund will post back to your original form of payment within 2-10 business days. Please let us know if we may assist you further. Sincerely, Karmen/Fanatics
The whole organization is awful. The worst online apparel group. The NFL teams can do better. They don't deserve my business either. Been screwing around with these losers since the Holidays. Ridiculous amount of time to get the simplest of things resolved.
Hello Jon, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you still don't show the refund for the returned watch. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon further review, the return was received and refunded via gift certificate on 1/6/2018. An email was also sent with the code to use on our website. If you have not received the email, I have resent it to the email address listed in our system. If for any reason you still have not gotten this email, please send us a private message of the correct email address to reply to. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian.
Can I give 0 stars?! Similar experience as others. My order sat in the Shipping label created status for 8 days then I receive an email that says they received my return and have processed my refund. I never received my order. I did not want a refund; I want the shirts I ordered. Im wondering if Ill actually get this refund that could take 7 days. So basically, they hold onto my money for 2 weeks. No telephone to call. My e-mail was returned with a message saying the e-mail is not monitored. My only option is live chat. I did receive a previous order but it wasnt what I ordered. I ordered a ladies red Angels shirt and received a extra large mens blue Brooklyn Dodgers hat! Not even close. The receipt said the Angels shirt too. I was guessing the warehouse workers might smoke marijuana. To their credit, they did exchange the hat for the right shirt, but after this time, Im probably done with Fanatics.
Hello Natalia, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you never received your package. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. The package was shipped out on 6/13/2018. Once the label has been created, it is picked up by FedEx by end of business day. If the label was damaged or missed to be scanned it will show still as label created. The package was returned to sender back to our warehouse. Once our warehouse receives the package, they will send an automatic email that the order was refunded. I have email you a discount code to use towards your next purchase. If you have any further questions, you can respond back to that email. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian.
I ordered from them before l, clothing sizes way off. I just lived with the items. Ordered men's shoes received toddlers shoes. Cost more to return than I would receive as a refund for their mistake. No "love chat" to ask questions. Horrible site. Asking for
Hello Liz, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that your order was messed up. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item that you selected was a Missouri Tigers Youth Quilted Flip Flops - Brown/Black and that is what was shipped to you. However, I have waived the return shipping fee for a refunded. You can return the package at any local post office in your area. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered three times from this site on December 18 with a promise of delivery before Christmas or the item would be free. Two of the times were received in a timely manner. The third is still in transit and will not be received until December 31 (per FedEx). Customer service informed me that this was disclosed on my receipt. I would never have placed an order for a Christmas gift that was due to be shipped a week late. Customer service offered no valid explanation.
Hello Nancy, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the shipping expectation. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. Upon review, the item was a manufacturer direct item. These items are shipped by the vendor fulfillment center. This item was excluded from the Guaranteed to Get There promotion because it wouldn't have shipped until 1/7/2020 or before. By clicking on the banner at the top of the screen, will provide reason for any exclusion to the promotions. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
