I was given a gift card from my employer for this website. When I went to use the gift card, the balance was only $1.67 when it should have been $100. I reached out to Fanatics on 3 separate occasions to inquire why the balance didn't match the gift card amount and they replied that they were looking into it. Fanatics then informed me after inquiring for the 5th time, "Thank you for contacting us. We our not responsible for lost or stolen gift cards. We are not able to provide information on the orders this gift card was used."
I was able to obtain the order numbers however and proved that I did not make the purchases. One order was sent to Florida and the other to California, while I live in Illinois. Upon showing Fanatics that the orders were fraud, they replied, "We cannot replace lost or stolen gift cards/certificates." I have attached my 3 separate chat transcripts, the fraudulently placed orders, and the emails with the Fanatics Support team after contacting them by phone.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
You offered a $50 coupon code based on your slow response. The amount i spent with that company was over $105.00. It's insulting to offer a $50 credit for your lack of communication but refuse a refund or a credit based on a company you allowed on your platform to rip off customers. I have been very patient with this matter and received zero accountability on your end or an apology other then sorry our new system messed up.

I received an email on 5/28 with the subject line, "TODAY ONLY: $10 Just For You - Spring Coupon Inside" and the small print says, "expires tomorrow at 11:59pm ET" which is today (5/29) but when I click the link ["Click to Claim"] it comes up with a white page with "No Codes found for the given batch" written on the top. The coupon is not properly activating. I reached out to chat support but the best they could offer was 30% off which is not a comparable discount as it would save me less than $10. I have attached the screenshots of the email and page that appears when the link is clicked. I would appreciate a new $10 off coupon OR even $10 FanCash.Business Response

May 25th, 2025 Fanatics Perfect 9 contest. Answer ALL 9 questions correctly and Win $500,000 I answered ALL 9 correct. It said I WON, confetti dropped. I read all the rules, watched the video for the game. In order to win $500,000 you had to get ALL 9 answers correct,
This was a free game on the Fanatic App. At the bottom of the app there is “game” they have 4 free games you can play 3 of which you can win.
The big payout game is the Perfect 9 to win $500,000
I emailed Fanatic support and got several different answers why I wasn’t paid out, one of which was $50.00 fan cash award, which I never received. 2nd, the odds were to low and selection choices, this was both from a man named ***** Fanatics App support team emails on 5/27/25 also then I was told it was $5 fan cash award. Then I spoke to ****** and he said on it was not the Perfect 9 game and it clearly said it was when I played it. I attached my screen shots and circled the perfect 9 at the top showing him precisely that it was that game I won on and that email was today on 5/28/25. Several discrepancies and lies. I asked to speak to ******* ***** the CEO of Fanatics and he has not gotten back to me. This was life changing money, I played the game per the rules and I have yet to be contacted from Fanatics per my winnings ****** *******Business Response

Dear BBB of North Florida and ****** *******,
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by the consumer.
We raised the consumer’s concerns with the appropriate department and have been advised that the terms and conditions of the offer explicitly stated that “Each award recipient will receive $5 FanCash.” Due to the consumer being inadvertently advised that they won $50 in FanCash, we honored that amount and credited the account with another $45 in FanCash, totaling $50 in FanCash.
We believe that the issue has been fully resolved, and we hope to regain the consumer’s trust and continue serving them in the future.

I visited a Lids store at the UP Mall in Mishawaka, Indiana on 5/5/25. The person working there told me I could get 20% off of a hat my son wanted by giving him my phone number and email, because I had mentioned how expensive it was for a kids hat. The orange sticker price, covering the original price (which I assumed meant it was the on sale price), was $29.99. After giving him my information he told me it was ready for me to put my card in. Luckily, I looked and the total was almost $36. Which I knew couldn’t be right for a hat that was $29.99 with 20% off. He never told me that there was a $10 monthly fee I was signing up for. I found that very misleading, deceptive and inappropriate for him to do that. So I told him to take it off, which he did. After leaving the store, out of curiosity, I peeled off the orange sticker (which normally means it’s a sale price), and the original price of the hat was only $27.99. I find that to be completely deceptive advertising. When I went back he told me that’s how they do their “mark-downs”. Which makes absolutely no sense. A a markdown would lower the price, not raise it. When I called to file a complaint, I explained what happened to a customer service representative and he eventually just hung up on me. I’m not sure how it is in Indiana, but I know that some states have laws against deceptive advertising and I absolutely think that’s what they did to me and my son. In the picture I attached, you can tell that the sale price sticker has been ripped off, and you cannot see the price that was listed. But the price on the receipt shows I was charged more than the price of the item. Which would mean the employee, rather than scanning the barcode, manually typed in the higher price also, knowing that it was more then the normal price.Business Response

On March 23,2025 I purchased a 3 in 1 Ohio State Buckeyes National Championship charger for my husband for our 35th wedding anniversary. I gave him the charger on April 14, our anniversary.
Less than 30 days of gifting this item to my husband he told me it wasn’t working.
I contacted Fanatics. A customer service rep offered me 20% of purchase price, then30%. Finally, after my frustration he told me I would receive a full refund and return label via email within 24 hours.
I received an email saying sorry, no refund.
This is unacceptable. They are selling a cheap electronic for an expensive price and don’t stand behind the product.Business Response

Purchased a L shirt and L sweater 2025-05-18 for ******, i had inquired minutes after placing the order to change the size of the sweater to XL to which i was told that wasnt possible and was against policy and my only option would be to return it, fine. Not an ideal solution. I receive my items and the sweater is 2 inches shorter than the shirt. The shirt fits like an XL and the sweater fit like a M. I inquired to get my items returned and was told id have to choose original payment method or gift card to which i chose gift card. Fast forward to today and theres a better sale on. I order to take advantage of the better sale. I inquire to have my refund method changed to original payment method to which im told thats impossible and iv already chose my method of refund and the only way to receive it through original method of payment is to wait 30 days for the shipping label to expire. Theres no reason either of these situations couldnt have been amended specifically the first inquiry about the size modification.I feel brushed off by customer service and am overall completely unsatisfied and disgusted as a consumerBusiness Response

I was banned for too many discount requests but the requests were due to poor quality of products, shipping issues where they decided to not use proper carriers and use cheaper carriers who lost some shipments. I only used the codes given to me by the company for these issues and was told I could not order anymore because I requested discount codes for issues. The customer service team provided those discounts and could have said no at anytime but didnt and I continued to use those discounts as given for the issues. To be banned for future purchases for this is ridiculous. How was this my fault? If you didnt want to provide further discounts then just deny the request and provide a product and service that didnt have issues. Unprofessional and not worth the BBB rating they currently have due to the product quality and policy. None of this is my fault or my issue and Ive paid several hundred dollars to this company for their products. They also didnt think this was enough to ban me from their Sportsbook betting services so what are they even saying is the issue if they arent returning my bet money as well? Honestly I dont plan to purchase from them anymore but the fact they banned me from ever purchasing because of appeasement issues is ridiculous because it was due to product quality issues (which other buyers have also well documented) and shipping issues (which I contacted try em several times to resolve through *** store shipping and parcel delivery safeguards I place at my apartment that they would not acknowledge to help me with these issues.Business Response

Never received a product I ordered. The item was shipped via "roadie" which has no customer service line and I'm going to file a complaint against them too. The item was marked "undeliverable" when I've never once had an issue receiving packages at my address. The delivery driver never even tried to deliver it. Probably stole it. Never left even a notification. Was never even contacted by the delivery service. I tried to contact roadie for over 5 hours and never once spoke to someone even the "callback" feature was busted. Contacted fanatics and the first "fan advocate" ghosted me in the chat. The next one offered no resolution to my issue. The fact is I find it absolutely ridiculous and absolutely garbage that I've spent hundreds though fanatics and the moment I have an issue I basically get told I have to wait 7-10 business to get my money back. When they can take the payment instantly! I wanted what I brought! Not once was contacted and asked if I wanted store credit so I could I reorder the item nor was I offered a replacement or even to pick the item up. When the fact is the item was shipped from *******! Literally 15mins from my address! The fact is dont use a third party delivery service that outsources deliveries to randos like a doordash order then punish the consumer when issues arises.I will directly buy my braves merchandise from the Braves. Fanatics is absolute garbage and I mean that with every bit of animosity because the way it felt dealing with the customer service was "fuck me and my service" since the item in question was the armed forces hat that I wanted for the Braves vs ****** series in which the braves where running a tribute to the military.Business Response

On February 12, 2025, I placed an order for 4x Hobby boxes and Next day shipping for $1484.91. On February 17th, I received an email stating my order was delivered, but I never received the package. According to the tracking, this package was in transit on Thursday the 13th, but it was delayed and never delivered on Friday. I knew I needed to be home to sign the package hence why I chose 1 day shipping for it to arrive on Friday when I was home. Instead, it delivered the following Monday, and I did not sign for it because I wasn't home that day. Its fanatics responsibility to ensure packages arrive the day they say they will, especially when it requires a signature. I contacted support and they created a *** claim and told me to wait. I patiently waited until the investigation was closed on 3/4. I contacted again and they told me they were not able to provide me a refund or reshipment. Furious, I asked to speak with a supervisor who told me she would try to exhaust more options to issue the refund. I contacted via live chat the next day and the memorabilia department representative was very rude from the start. I was told they couldn't provide me a resolution despite the shipping error and waiting all that time for the *** investigation to close. I was advised to file a police report for the package. I asked multiple times if I filed a police report would Fanatics issue me a refund. I could not get a straight answer and had to ask many times. Eventually I was told they still wouldn't be able to provide a refund with a police report, basically telling me to F off. This is unacceptable, there isn't even a delivery photo for me to reference to. I've knocked on all my neighbor's doors and no one has seen the package. I've exhausted all options into finding this package and trying to find a resolution from Fanatics. I need a full refund to be issued immediately, and our business will be concluded.Business Response
