“Excellent customer service!”

Kelly S.

I ordered a Christmas present for my son and it came broken. I called customer service and had the absolute pleasure of speaking to Cristin. She resolved my issue immediately and had a new product shipped to me quickly. She kept in touch with emails every day until I received my order. She made me feel confident that I would receive my son's Christmas present in time. I will definitely be ordering again!

“30-day guarantee?!?”

I bought my sister a Cubs' suitcase in August to thank her for helping me through a difficult time. She used the suitcase for the first time in October, on a trip to Chicago no less. The handle was missing when she picked up the suitcase at the carousel. I chatted with MLB customer service and they said they'd look into it. Then they sent my sister an email stating it's outside of 30 days. 30 days! They refuse to replace the suitcase or even just the handle. Never mind that I had just spent another few hundred dollars at a Cubs' game a week prior. Loyal fan no more! Make it right MLB!

Ordered for my wife never shipped should have delivered by now. Did not receive any e mail about processing or shipping. If I try to track it I get a error 404 page. What's going on! Very disappointed.

In 2 orders I didn't receive 1 that was right. Defective items, and terrible shipping times. MLBshop takes zero responsibility even if it is their website. I won't be buying from them again. 2 days shipping means 3 weeks.

I ordered a reasonably priced cap, then was charged an unwanted expedited shipping fee for standard shipping. I had to dig deep to find any direct customer service, which was a live chat. It's way too much work to purchase items online from this outfit. They are POS scammers!

Tip for consumers:
Skip it or be frustrated with their efforts to scam you on price and shipping. I think they actually like this game. They are hoping you are to apathetic to call them on their scam.

Ordered a Braves wine glass customized with my name (Deanna) on it and received a dirty, dingy, used glass with the name Jason. Disgusting. When I tried to call, the customer service agent was fumbling stating they were having computer issues... then all of a sudden the call was disconnected. So disgusted with this company. Will never buy anything from here again.

They should stand behind their products. A 30-day policy on a suitcase is unacceptable and unreasonable.

Every couple of years I give it a try and it does not take long to realize I have made the same bad choice once more. Bad software that evidently has never been upgraded or even had mlb even try. Bad service? So what the idiots (me) will keep on paying.

Verified purchase

Ladies tees are very poor quality. My tee was not attached at the seam. It had holes in the fabric after the first time worn. I purchased two of them and both were poor quality. Customer Service would not send me a return label or replace or give me a credit. They spoke very kindly when I talked to them and said they would and then they never did. After five attempts still no resolution.

Tip for consumers:
Expect poor quality and excellent customer service communications but poor customer service actions. They act like they care. They don’t actually follow through. They keep escalating and nothing happens.

There sweatshirt for 65$ started peeling after 2 washes and hang drying called and they can do nothing for me at all. I will not be ordering from this company and really wonder how this company can stay afloat with such poor quality and lack of customer service.

Worst possible experience! My son ordered a Baltimore Orioles sweatshirt. MLB shop sent the wrong size. The return policy stated 30 days. The customer service rep told me the item was not returnable when I stated the exact return policy found on their website. After 20-30 minutes on the phone I was finally told they would send a return label to us by email to return the item. The return order slip never arrived. Now he is stuck with an item that does not fit. NEVER buy from MLB Shop!

Purchased 3 shirts and a jacket for my wife on her birthday. All items on one order. What a huge mistake. My wife wears a size medium and every item was way to small, like child size small. All items were made in Asian countries which might be the size discrepancy.

Tried to initiate the return online and they wanted me to return each item at the cost to me $9.99 each even though they were purchased together as one order.

My advise is don't not buy into their hassle free returns because it's certainly not hassle free and the consumer has to jump through hoops to make a return.

Tip for consumers:
MLB should be controlled by some kind of law for misinformation about their products and returns

Twice ordered jersey, "guaranteed by Christmas or it's free." Twice received cancellation emails. Because it was cancelled they will not honor the free guarantee. Then takes 7-10 days to refund. Took exactly 23 seconds to charge the card. Customer service completely unhelpful.

I have experience ordering two jerseys from them that say "in stock". Both times they ended up not being in stock and the delivery date promised was not only missed, but they never delivered. When I called t week past the delivery time, they said they were waiting to go through returns so I cancelled. I was two weeks past my order date at that time and paid for 2 day shipping to receive it in time.

If you are a going to be an online retailer you are useless if you can't give accurate projections of inventory & delivery times. MLB.com shop is terrible and known for this by many people. I would spend your money this Christmas with a reputable company or local business.

Received a women's t-shirt in Med that was a child's size. Way too small. Needed to exchange for a larger size. They do not accept exchanges. Returns only at your expense, $9.99 which will take 14 plus days to process. It's ridiculous! My refund will be less than 1/2 of what I paid for the shirt, that they are getting back just to resell! DO not buy from MLB.com Shop. Total waste of money! Never again.

I should have read the reviews before ordering. Do not ever order from this company! I placed an order on may 1. Paid for 3 day shipping to get it here for my son's birthday. Now they are saying it won't be delivered until may 8! We ordered this braves jersey so he could wear it to the Braves game we are going to on may 7. I called customer service several times with no answer or explanation. How can a company lie like that? If I could give them negative stars I would. Absolutely terrible.

After buying the 3rd time and very accurate measurements. I called cust service. Was told my order would be refunded to my cc. And return fee( would be waived. (which is a scam to charge 10 bucks to return). The return process is a joke to say the least. Put on a e-gift card so you have to purchase from their $#*!ty store again. Why would I want to purchase another inaccurate fitting item after it was wrong 3 times. I will never buy here again and will review this sorry company everywhere possible. Stay far away unless u just like having ten bucks taken and wasting time shipping back several times. I don't know how they are in business. Gonna contact the AG about this return process

Return process is a sham

I ordered a t-shirt in my usual size large and confirmed my size with MLB's sizing chart. When the shirt arrived it fit more like a medium. I'm not even sure an XL would be big enough. Beware of the sizing chart as it is misleading. Per the return policy, they charge $10 to exchange the shirt! When stating my displeasure via online chat to a customer service rep our chat session got disconnected... not once but twice... really? I will never buy from MLB.com again.

Ordered a shirt for a game in 2 business days. Paid for 1 day shipping. Arrived in 3 business days - after my game. Called to complain and the guy told me his system said it should have been there. Argued for 10 minutes that it didn't arrive. Asked for a manager since he didn't understand it DID NOT arrive - put on hold forever. Will never use this crappy site. PS - the shirt sucked too. Avoid at all costs

Terrible. Stay away. The site wiped my free shipping code out by auto-selecting $13.99 expedited shipping. This is borderline unethical. You cannot cancel or modify an order on the website. This is antiquated. I was on hold for 40 minutes to talk to a customer service rep, and their "Live Chat" feature was down. This is frustrating. I assume the only reason they're still in business is MLB floats them. The worst.

I now see why there are so many 1 stars... Horrible return policy. I received a sweatshirt for my birthday that was too big. I called and wanted to return but instead get a different item -shirt. I simply did not like the design on the sweatshirt. The Supervisor told me my only two options were return for a smaller size or get a full refund (this was a gift). Ridiculous policy to not be able to exchange for something else. I hope they get bombarded with complaints this Holiday Season. I personally will never purchase anything from MLB.com again.

I bought two medium T-shirts. They were both too tight. The fabric was thin and flimsy. The screen printing was the type that would degrade in a few wash cycles. The charge shipping to return, so you lose your money twice with shipping charges.

I placed an order with whoever these people are (I'm assuming its 2 people working out of their garage). I paid expedited shipping (guaranteed 2 days) for a world series jersey and when it didn't show up, they told me it would be another 7-10 days before it even ships! The series will be over by then... They don't tell you that if you pay special handling that it goes to the end of the line with all the other orders.

I purchased a set of scrubs with my favorite baseball team logo and the tops and bottoms did not match! I didn't notice the variance in shades until I wore them after I washed them first. MLB basically said too bad. Check your color matching if you order scrubs or don't order from here at all. I will never order from this company for anything.

Save your money and buy a knock off - you'll get it faster and if there's an issues you will be able to exchange it. Just on principle, I would never spend another dime on this site. Their business model may not be an outright scam but it's close. If possible I would give ZERO stars.

I ordered a jersey for a gift from MLB. When it arrived, there was some shipping damage. I emailed the customer service department and a new jersey is on it's way! They told me to go ahead and ship back the damaged one when it was convenient. No hassle, just an friendly and responsive customer service department. I wish all online vendors were like this. Good job guys!

Cristin provided me with excellent customer service. She was able to update the package tracking information with a delivery date. It was delivered that evening. I will continue shopping at MLBshop.com.
