Case overview
What is the Fanatics settlement about?
A class action lawsuit accuses Fanatics of misleading shoppers about shipping costs, claiming the company advertised 'free shipping' or flat, low-rate shipping while quietly tacking on handling fees. Fanatics denies any wrongdoing and disputes that it broke any laws, but the two sides reached a settlement after extensive negotiations aided by mediators Michelle Yoshida and Shirish Gupta. The Court has granted preliminary approval, with a Final Approval Hearing set for September 16, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. Under the deal, class members who file a timely, valid claim by August 27, 2026 can receive two $5.00 vouchers - $10.00 total - redeemable on fanatics.com. No receipts or proof of purchase are needed; claimants simply need to check a box on the claim form certifying, under penalty of perjury, that they bought something from a Fanatics website and paid a handling fee without realizing it. The Claim Administrator may still research and verify submitted claims.
