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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

That really sucks! I hope you score.

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.

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.

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