“Kudos for "Courtney"!”

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!

“Virginia Tech Metallica T-shirts”

Alex R.
10/4/24

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 signed bat from these guys on Nov 17 and to this day I have received no bat and no refund. I contacted the company and they passed
Me to another group that never called
Me back after 72 hours. These guys try to call and sell me stuff all the time. How about just filling my order! I will never order from them again…

With the exception of most of the Nike and Mitchell/Ness, everything we have purchased has been sent back or simply thrown away with the garbage. I cannot overstate our disappointment with Fanatics/NFL Shop - we had plans to spend big and buy people and ourselves gifts this season - did I say it was virtually ALL garbage - cheapest material, poorly fitting/not fitting, bad "iron-on" stencils, it just goes on. If these items were inexpensive, then you might expect some of this. But they were anything but. Oh, and lets not forget the "return" policy - costs you $10.00 to return something, unless you take the gift card route - almost a form of extortion/coercion, no? We miss Modells..

their response was ALWAYS - "you can simply return the item . . "

Reason I chose this business:

We didn`t know better, then we didn`t have a choice

I've purchased so many items from this company. We are big Gamecocks fans and we have several alumni's in the family. The quality of products are very good. Customer service is also very professional and has helped me out a few times.

Very professional and fixed my issue with a return. Very smooth process.

Reason I chose this business:

Started with social media.

I love buying from Fanatics. Everything I have bought from them has been high quality and greatly priced. When I had a problem they made it right very quickly.

They made my broken item right and sent me a new one right away.

Tried ordering a shirt for my wife. The promotion stated the shirt had free shipping. When I went to check out it showed $4.99 shipping cost. I worked with one of Fanatics agents and questioned why I was being charged. The agent told me she would give me a refund on the shipping this time. I asked why I was charged in the first place and never received a real answer. I had an issue before and given a 10% discount which I also ask for and was told it didn't apply to this purchase? No response. I have bought several items from Fanatics. I ask to speak with a representative and all I got was the automated response. I felt that if this is the only way to correspond that I would be hard pressed to make future purchases.

Poor. I explained in previous comments. Also I’m tired of dealing with their automated responses.

Reason I chose this business:

They have good pricing and the brand of merchandise that I prefer.

Very dissatisfied. Sales person told me he took care of canceling my order. The next day I got an email saying it was shipped. Spoke with another sales person and they said there was nothing that they could do for me. Very disappointed with your service department. I'm a long time customer and thought I would be treated better.

See above.

Ordering was easy but a bit confusing with regards to getting free shipping and/or discount on sale items. Did finally get corrected. Tracking of the order was superb, especially with regards to when it actually shipped and was delivered...received a text message stating it was just delivered.

excellent

Reason I chose this business:

Offers excellent choices for school and/or professional sports teams apparel and other goods. Great for gift giving to sports enthusiasts.

Ran into a situation which package wasn't received and after reaching out to customer service, Cristin was awesome! Understood the situation and got a replacement product sent out same week! People like Cristin who defines customer service. Will continue to be a customer for Fanatics.

Being a super fan of a team over 1000 miles away makes it hard to find team gear local. Every time I order from here I get it promptly and the quality is in matched. Thank you Fanatics for being the go to and trustworthy site you are!

Hard to find Florida Gator gear in Arkansas.

I'm always leery of return policies, but not so with Fanatics. I followed their instructions and received an immediate response along with a UPS Return Address to print. Once received, they emailed me that they had received the item, and that the refund would be taking place within a matter of days.

Reason I chose this business:

I like the selection of collegiate items available.

I love the products and the prices are reasonable, the problem is with the processing time and shipping, it is very slow compared to other online retailers. When you order something, you want it within a couple of days not a week + later. And you definitely don't want to pay double for "overnight "shipping

Reason I chose this business:

Great products

Be very careful buying anything from fanatics for someone else.my daughter got me a gift for Christmas and I just wanted to exchange it for something else and because they only have a 30 day return policy I can not exchange it for anything else.i would recommend you don't shop at fanatics.The customer service people do not work with customer.They only care about themselves.I recommend you shop somewhere else for sports merchandise.There are plenty of other options out there!

Tip for consumers:
I will never shop there again .I am not very happy with your customer service team either .I asked for a manager and was told there wasn't one available.common that was total BS

Christmas order was promised on December 22. Received several emails about delays with no mention of dates. Last email received on December 21 apologizing profusely for their customer inconvenience. They stated that they expect item will ship no later than January 5,2024. Poor business model. Not honest with customers since these delays are the rule, not the exception. Don't do business with them. Google has over 5,000 reviews for them and 83% are 1 star.

I ordered an iPhone otterbox and had to return for wrong size. Had to take e-gift card or I would have lost part of my money if I wanted a refund. When I tried to reorder the right size it is not available. It's been 3 months and still not available and they don't know when and if it will be. Frustrating!

Didn’t really get any answers except I just have to keep checking the website??????

Reason I chose this business:

Ordered before without any problems

Supremely sub-par turnaround time for the "official" NFL store. A single jersey takes over a month to "process", not including shipping time.

(No proof of purchase because I *still* have not received the item)

Being first time exchanging items, wasn't clear and needed to contact customer service.
Site doesn't have exchange policy, but instead return and do another order.
This led to me not being able to receive same item I had to return and then the cost was higher as well.

Helpful, was able to do return process and explain procedure.

Reason I chose this business:

First I want to say this site jabber website is complete garbage fix your website. This is the third time I'm typing this cuz this website crashes everytime I hit submit. Here I am working with two $#*!ty websites. Fanatics shipping is my main problem. Not one time has my package arrived on time. Don't blame Christmas either cuz every order I've placed does the same damn thing. I live in the states by the way. Should only take at most 2 weeks. Maybe use better shipping partners?! If I do not receive this order my the lions first playoff game this year then I'm returning every single item I've purchased in the last 365 days. Beyond frustrated with the website. This is going to be my last purchase from this place.

Tip for consumers:
Sitejabber is an awedul website as well. They sell your information

Received a one size fits all hat as afift for Christmas. It did not fit well & when I returned it, I did not get the full gift refund. I had to call & speak with an agent. After 15-20 it got worked out. I will order again from Fanatics though.

1st agent gave me wrong information. Second agent fixed the issue.
