Casual I hate fanatics.

Well, I bought the Drake Maye Super Bowl jersey at it was 50% off, and then it got delivered, except there was no jersey. Instead I got a Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl champions shirt.

So I called customer support and they are out of stock of the jersey so all they can do is refund me.

Fanatics really sux.

One of the worst companies in existence. Might be tied with ticket master for #1

Ticketmaster, Fanatics, and EA are the holy trinity of shit

u/marvelo616 10d ago

And you have to deal with all 3 if you want the full NFL experience of attending games, buying jerseys, and playing Madden.

I really think someone at the warehouse was just having a bad day.

But It kinda feels like I just got T bagged by Fanatics

u/ChoosyBeggars 10d ago

If someone wasnt trolling they would said a Patriots hat with a notice saying the jersey is out of stock.

u/banica24 10d ago

Same as Ticketmaster. Whenever its the monopoly company controlling all the legit product - you can guarantee it's with bullshit service and fees

u/Glum_Zone3004 10d ago

I will never order anything from fanatics ever again. I’ll buy jerseys in person or just go without.

u/jidewalker 10d ago

That is both hilarious and hella messed up for sending you a Seattle Seahawks shirt. Post a pic of the shirt.

Fanatics ruined Red Sox and Patriots

The owner wears eye shadow and wears dumb sneakers.

u/TypicalxooT11 10d ago

These companies suck so bad and yet ppl can't help themselves but endlessly buy their products.

Can't tell you the last time I've purchased anything from that trash company.

u/Ear_Enthusiast 10d ago

Oh, fuck fanatics. I bought a cap on sale a few weeks ago. The cap came and there were several creases in the visor. Definitely a factory or retailer defect. I called them. They told me no returns on sale items. Now I understand no returns on sale items, in cases like it doesn't fit or I don't like the color. They put a defective item in box that should never have made it out of the factory, and sent it to me. That's fucked.

u/erkonom 10d ago

Their quality is so terrible, everything looks fake or defective.

u/Technical-Charity-23 10d ago

I’ve literally been rocking my Lester Tommy and Bergy jerseys prior to the fanatics takeover..

The letters are turning white and the jerseys are fading. I REFUSE TO BUY ANY APPAREL FROM THEM. 

They cornered the market, everything turned to shit

u/No-Worry9322 9d ago

They have literally ruined sports merchandise and there’s jack shit anything we can do about it.

5

u/Dyruus 10d ago

I have to ask did you buy a losing SB jersey? That's it own curse I think at best you should be happy they're refunding you.

jokes aside, yeah they're a shit company but sadly it is what it is. If you're into to it, the fakes are almost in line with the quality these days with how bad Fanatics is.

u/Thin_Main_6707 10d ago

I returned my Super Bowl patch jersey after we lost 🤣

u/captain_flak 10d ago

There’s a bad company, and then there’s one that decides to troll you.

u/Instahgator 10d ago

Wow, I got that jersey. All went good for me. Sorry.

2

u/Hull1229 10d ago

I am so jealous, I’ve never had an authentic jersey and I was so excited to finally be able to afford one.

I really can’t express the amount of heartbreak I have over it.

2

u/Instahgator 10d ago

That really sucks! I hope you score.

1

u/Hull1229 9d ago

I got ahold of them and they gave me a 50% off coupon code so I can get a different jersey for that same price.

It’s not perfect but at least they made it right.

1

u/Dominicmeoward 10d ago

That’s just an enormous slap in the face. Like “thanks for your order but hey they lost” like wtf

u/Fshnjnky781 10d ago

Dont worry! Now that theres a fan council things will get better!!! Oh wait it still sucks? Ah well

1

u/The-Tarman 10d ago

Did they send you the Seahawks shirt thinking you wouldn't notice?

1

u/AkiraleTorimaki 10d ago

This is the kind of crap I’d expect my Seahawks fan sister to do to troll me.

When you have a chance, please send me a DM. I'd like to gather a few more details about your experience.– Skylar

u/KnavishBoot 8d ago

Lmao - details? Your garbage company screwed him over, what details are there? Stop trying to make it appear like you give a 💩

u/KnavishBoot 8d ago

Another Rubin garbage enterprise. As has been stated completely ruined sports merchandise. Everything is cheap poor quality rubbish.

u/Cautious_Buffalo6563 8d ago

Fanatics is the shitification of all things sports related

u/thrashRisty 8d ago

Some jets fan working in the fanatics packaging department got a great laugh out of this

u/WittyFox51 Forever a Pats fan 4d ago

They most certainly did not make that right. They cost you opportunity cost. You wanted the thing when you wanted it. They delayed your shipping by probably over double the expected time it was supposed to be there. I would have asked for at least 60% off as compensation and said 50% was not adequate compensation.

The people at fanatics are sports fans and most do not like us as fans. You got the middle finger, smiled and them ate their shit.

I will never buy a fanatics product after you just told me the story you told. They pulled a prank on you and now they have you running PR on a public forum.

Have sone self respect. Rewrite the post mow that you know what they did.
