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 a Toronto FC shirt from Fanatics and it finally arrived. As I feared the lettering was so crooked it was embarrassing. The entire picture is crooked. I searched the website and found a picture of my order. It looks totally different. The art on the advertised shirt and bigger and straight. This is small and crooked. I went to return it (it showed up 8/5 and has no be worn) and found out that they want me to pay $9.99 for a return label fee. Just as bad, the artwork was put onto a shirt that was wrinkled so the Toronto FC logo will look creased forever. Not happy and I have already had to work harder than the person who made this shirt. I want a credit so I can get a different shirt. I do not want to chance this again. I want to be credited for the price of the shirt and shipping cost.
So, after they sent the wrong item out the first time, they finally contacted me and told me not to worry they would make it right and send the correct item out. So, I wait and received the same incorrect item I received the first time. They did not pay attention to my first post or even look at the order to see what the correct item was, they just grabbed something off the shelf and threw it in a bag and shipped it. Not even looking at the item description to make sure they got the correct item. Men's Concepts Sport Black San Francisco Giants Slide Knit Bed Pants is what I ordered you idiots! Not men's knit boxers which is a lesser prices item and is fraud for charging me more for a higher priced item and sending an item of lesser value! I am not sure who if anyone knows how to do their job at this moron company. And forget talking to anyone and the chat never works! Go somewhere else and buy from a vendor who knows how to fulfill orders correctly!

Ordered a jersey for my sons first birthday. Didn't arrive by the date. I called they would not refund me and said they are gonna send another one out. Still haven't got that and they told me it's prob not coming but I'm gonna have to wait till September 9 before they can refund me. So I missed my sons birthday and game one. Never again

Tiffany was extremely courteous and professional. She answered my questions and assisted me with my situation. She is a true asset to your organization and takes her job very seriously. I honestly do not receive this level of service very often and i needed to share my experience with management so she can get the recognition she deserves. Thanks!
Hello Matt, 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 placed an order last Monday. It was supposed to be shipped in 3 business days, so I figured by Thursday it would ship. The product did not ship until Saturday, which is ridiculous, with a 3 day guarantee.
I emailed customer service, which at first did not even address the fact that there was a 3 day guarantee. After re-clarifying that (which I had done in a past message) I did get a refund of my purchase, which does help my sanity in this situation. It is good that I did, because upon receiving the gift, they sent a child's large shirt instead of an adult small.
Fanatics just cannot do anything right. I already got my refund, so nothing more that Fanatics can do to remedy the situation, but i just wanted to let the world know they are just a bunch of idiots top to bottom. Why else would the reviews be so poor?

I have been trying to receive 2 new Wilson Broncos jerseys for months now. I have received 3 of the 6 that I ordered. I returned 1 as it was too small and have yet to receive the replacement I ordered even though I paid extra for 2 day delivery. The other one I sent back as I had actually received 2 of that size. The other 2 that were shipped were said to have been "delivered," but I'm not sure who they were "delivered" to as it wasn't me. I truly believe the courier company has been stealing things. I am currently waiting for the last jersey I ordered, it's out there somewhere. If it doesn't actually show up, I will not be ordering another from this group. I will drive to the USA and find one in a store. Do NOT, under any circumstances order anything from this group, they're utterly hopeless.

I wanted to buy some new Giants gear for an upcoming baseball game after I came home from deployment. I ordered then got an email, saying they cant process my order and gave zero reason as to why.
I tried to re order my gear but then the hat I wanted was gone. So I found s different hat and the same issue happened. I decided to take my business elsewhere.
Heres the problem- fanatics owns everything. You cant go anywhere else. I went to mlb.com but then my order had the same problem because guess who it went through- fanatics.
I went through lids.com and guess what- they go through fanatics too.
Finally I tried to reach out to fanatics to find out why they wont process my order. I was given zero answer as to why and instead asked if I had any other questions. It's a shame this business cant go bankrupt because I'd like another company to get into the fan apparel business that is actually user friendly.
Hello Auston, thank you for your feedback! I was unable to locate an order with the information that you have provided. Could you please private message us your email address so I can locate an order? Sincerely, Julian
They will send you random wrong items then ask you to return and say they never received them. I paid for a $18 hat 3 times and was sent the wrong item each time. The items were promptly sent back only to be told were never received. I was on a bind because my son really wanted the hat and it was not available elsewhere. Total rip off. Plan to be on hold hours for a customer service rep as well.
Hello Mary, we are so sorry to hear about your experience! We would love to work on this for you and make sure you get your full refund and find out what is going on with that item that was sent to you incorrect 3 times in a row! That sounds like a definite issue with the inventory and we want to get the rest checked to ensure this does not happen to you or anyone else again! Unfortunately, it looks like the order number that you provided is missing a digit. Please reach out via Private Message here on site jabber and provide your full name, e-mail address and order number and we would be happy to research and resolve this for you right away. Thank you so much and we hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Sarah B.
I wish I had read reviews before ordering. I ordered in plenty of time for my grandson's birthday, but his birthday has come and gone and still no package has come. I tracked package and it said it came from Florida to Kansas by FedEx, and then would come to Iowa by mail. What? Since when do they do that? Doesn't even make sense. So I'm still waiting...
Hello Mary. Thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry that you have not yet received your package. Please provide your order number as the order number provided above is not our order number. Once I have your order number for Fanatics I will be more than happy to assist you in any way possible. Sincerely, Karmen H.
I bought a majestic paul gold Schmidt jersey and it is cool looking. It's light material as they promised and I didn't see anything wrong from it. Now I'm gonna buy a real navy blue Bryce Harper jersey
Horrible customer service. The company takes my money but does not ship the merchandise. Never will order again and will be sure to let others know. Now I'm having a hard time trying to get my money back.
Tip for consumers:
DON'T ORDER
Kim, we are very sorry for the inconvenience you have been caused. We do see there was a system error where the order was not fully processed and the payment was not captured. We understand how frustrating this can be and would like to assist you further. Please send us a message so we can provide you more of a resolution.
After choosing 2 day shipping and making sure the items said they were in stock I ordered 2 items. A week later and they still haven't finished processing and am now getting told my order is "delayed" Absolutely terrible business practices. Don't advertise 2 day shipping if it isn't 2 days.
Tip for consumers:
Just don't use this site period. Go to a sports store and buy your merch there.

My original package was never delivered and the customer service to replace my items were Top notch.
Excellent the representative was very helpful.
Great price and selection.
Wide variety of quality products. Ordering was easy and shipping was fast! Would definitely buy from again.
Great selection.
Due not buy from Ron Horton. He is a liar and a scam artist. You will not get your moneys worth. This company will not honor their commitments. They will throw anyone under the rug to save themselves.

Fanatics not only has quality merchandise, but the customer service is outstanding. Jordan, was not only helpful, but courteous, efficient and so pleasant to work with in addition to solving my problem. 5 star employee all the way.
This is the second time to deliver this order. 1st on went to wrong address. I should've read reviews before I spent 108$. They tried to charge me shipping. The original order was done dec 5th.ive had it with this company and if I don't get my order Monday I'm disputing my charge and asking for a refund. You think with a 1.7 rating they'd get it together
Thank you for reaching out Kevin. We truly apologize for the issues you have been caused. Upon review of the reshipped package, we can confirm there have been no updates to tracking since it has shipped. We can confirm a full refund has been issued per your request. We hope for the opportunity to serve you again soon. Thanks, Chastity
Worst customer service of any online retailer and, it appears from other posts, that this is a big issue for them. Absolutely no customer service, no reply to emails. Fanatics just takes your money and u get nothing! Why is this retailer still in business?!

Marty, thank you for reaching out and we are grateful for the positive feedback! Happy tor hear that Erica was able to assist you and resolve the issue at hand. Thanks, Tina
I ordered from this site and shortly after I was very nervous as I did not receive a confirmation email with my order number, and I then read most of these bad reviews. I called their customer service help line and I feel much better now. The agent assisted me even though I had very little information about my order and was able to help me get my tracking information.
Melanie! We appreciate you reaching out and apologize for the inconvenience of not having received your order confirmation email. We are happy to hear that you were able to receive service and the information that you needed to be aware of your order's status. In the future, we will be more diligent in making sure email confirmations are sent accordingly with all information. Thanks, Julia.
Thing twice before you made any item as I have bought a shirt from their website and paid $5 shipping but unfortunately the shirt was too big and doesn't match the standards. I tried to return the item, but they asked me to pay an extra $10!
So, basically the shirt cost me $18 in total and in case I need to return it they will refund me only $3! Nonsense policy.
Hello Mahmoud, thank you for your feedback! I am very sorry about the return shipping charge. Our number one concern is customer satisfaction. You can print out the return label and attach to the label to the package. I have waived the return shipping fee. The package can drop off at any local post office or FedEx Store. Please let us know if you need any further assistance. Once again, I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you. Sincerely, Julian
I ordered a package on December 2,2016. Money was taken from my account right away. Was unable to track my package so I reached out to the company by email. I got a response that said I should receive my package in 7-12 days of ordering. It is now December 22,2016. I will not have my package in time for Christmas, which was guaranteed and contained THREE of my gifts. I reached out again via email and was told that during Christmas shipping is slower, which I understand. She also gave me a tracking number and the number says Origin Post is Preparing Shipment (through China) on December 10. The shipping time is ridiculous and I am wary if I will even receive my package. I have requested a refund but to no avail. Very disappointing.

In the past I was satisfied with the service and products from Fanatics and I have ordered a number of products. However, my last order is beyond disappointing. Apparently Fanatics has changed their carrier from FedEx to Lasership. I assume in a cost saving move. I will never again order from this company. If you are familiar with the service and reliability of Lasership no other explanation is needed. Hopefully I'll get my order in the next 6 or 7 months.
Hello Jack. Please accept our sincerest apologies that you are not satisfied with your latest purchase with us. We would like to help and ask that you allow 2 additional business days for the package to be delivered to you. If you do not receive the package by Friday, please send us a private message and we will get this taken care of for you right away. Sincerely, Cayla
After realizing I had ordered the wrong jersey within 36 hrs, I was told it was too late to change to the correct one. Amazon would of had no issues at all.Now I wait for 10 days for the jersey, when it comes I do a return, get a refund, and then it'll be too late for the one I wanted. Never again!

Don’t order anything unless you’re 100% sure of other better options.

Fanatics is horrible when ordering anything. I ordered three sweatshirts. They come back and say one is custom made? I investigated my order. It doesn't say that its custom. I spoke with a supervisor and they are only going to refund me $96.00 out of a $182.00 order. I am so pissed! Dont ever order anything from this company. Fanatics Sucks!
Tip for consumers:
Do not order anything from this company. Rip off people!
