      This company is awful. The service in Escondido, CA was so rude and would not exchange the size of a hat even when I had the receipt. He said it was dirty and it had dust on it from when I bought it off their shelf. Asked for the managers name and her would not give it to me.

      I ordered a bunch of jerseys that were marked down. They said the delivery date would be 14 days later. After 6 days they said the jerseys were out of stock. This is like the 5th time they have done that to me on line. They are giving my money back, but why did they say they had these all in stock?

      I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this location due to the manager's severe lack of patience. During checkout, the manager became visibly angry with me, lost their patience, and walked away in the middle of my transaction. Leaving a customer stranded mid-checkout is completely unacceptable, especially for someone in a leadership role. I expect basic respect and professionalism, neither of which were provided. I will not be returning and hope corporate addresses this management issue.

      Lids.com sucks, it took three weeks to get something that was supposed to be delivered in five days. I called customer service and they told me they can’t change that because they use drop shipping and it’s five day shipping once it gets shipped from China by the drop shipper. They wouldn’t let me cancel my order. Lids.com sucks. It’d be better off buying something from Temu for 1/4 the price. I can’t believe a company this big is such a trash heap.

      My fiance and I went into Lids at the Coral Square Mall in Coral Springs Fl to look for a white bat. My fiancé asks it the hat was snap back or fitted, and the store associate immediately just said that, "All of our fitted hats are $50." That was not the question I asked. He was assuming that we couldn’t afford a hat. My fiancé, being the nice person he is, ignored the store associate's comment and still purchased the hat. In fact, my man could’ve bought several hats but he didn’t. He was tempted to take the hat back because neither one of us asked about the price. Store associates should not judge a book by its cover because you never know who is coming to your business to purchase items.

      I purchased a sweatshirt for a gift for Christmas. The sweatshirt was way too long so I opted on getting a gift card because I didn’t realize they were going to charge me $9.99 for the return. Long story short I returned the sweatshirt and they sent me the gift card via email. I went back on Lids.com to purchase the same sweatshirt but a smaller size and it was out of stock. I then went back online and a couple weeks later and it was still out of stock. On 2/8/26 I decided I would purchase a different sweatshirt. I found the one I wanted to buy and put the gift card code in for payment. I then received a message saying the gift code was already used. I never used it!! I never even put it in as payment when I attempted to purchase the smaller sweatshirt!

      I immediately contacted lids who sent me an email 3 days later saying the code was used on 2/5/26 and they were sorry but they would not be sending me another one. I have no idea how it was used and I never received anything stating I used it. I also have nothing on my account saying an order was placed on 2/5/26. I think this is a scam in order to steal money from customers! My email is secure so no one accessed it illegally. Don’t buy from Lids as they will scam you and steal your money!

      Horrible experience with BOTH intertwined companies Lids.com and Fanatics.com. Order two items, separate orders 1-2 weeks prior to Christmas. The first order comes to the house and is something completely different than my order (different team, different size, different style), on top of that, smells like someone spilled gas on it. The second order (Lids) sends me an email one day before its supposed to arrive FOR CHRISTMAS, saying a refund has been issued. I DID NOT receive NOR return the item... but I get the notification saying that a refund for roughly half the amount was given and I can expect it to get back to me in 2-7 business days. They CHARGED ME FOR A RETURN LABEL and didn't refund the tax either.

      So I get on the phone after no success with the garage virtual agent, called the customer service number only to answer prompts and being told "no human agents are available to talk to me...try again later". No waiting in a queue, just a symbolic **. I eventually get to live chat with someone and get most of my refund back. Terrible experience. Don't fall for the allure of 60% off codes. It's all just flare. Drive to a store, touch and feel what you are going to buy. Online with Lids.com and Fanatics is pure trash. If you get what you ordered, on time, at the cost you expected...you've hit the lottery.

      Absolutely horrible. I paid for expedited shipping so I could get a package by Christmas and after I paid for it, they are now telling me it’s going to be the second week of January that I would receive it. Not to mention, you can’t get a hold of anybody in customer service and I can’t seem to cancel the package. Thing that they advised me was I can return the package after I’ve received it, because it’s now already processed. Would not ever purchase from them again and going to dispute the charge.

      I purchased a hat from them on 11/29 and when I got home the hat had a snag on it. Now mind you it's 2025. So I tried to exchange the hat. I didn't keep the receipt 'cause I thought I was buying from a company who had a better quality brand. Who keeps a receipt for a Hat. Well I was wrong. We have to start expecting everything you buy and keep your paperwork. They claim they couldn't look up my transaction by my DC. Which I know is a lie. 'Cause Walmart, Meijer and so does with your phone number. But any who.

      The little boy at the counter said they could do it. He told me didn't know how and to email his boss. With the details, so I did. Well buddy never got back to me. So I went. Into the store again. While being greeted as" hey he's a regular" (my boyfriend) so I asking about the exchange. Well the same chic that greeted us. Told me they wouldn't take it back. I asked why she wouldn't say. I'm so tired of these store selling expensive stuff and passing it on as BS. What happened to customer service and taking care of your customers. Well you've definitely lost a valued customer. Over 15 funky dollars.‼️

      Purchased a hoodie. Wanted to exchange for smaller size but wanted me to pay $9.99 for shipping, which I paid $5.99 for shipping and I had to pay for shipping for the new one as well. So I said, "Never mind, I want a full refund to my bank account and I don't want to buy another one." They still charged me 9.99 and another 5.99, and they have the item.

I started a return online and it would only let me return one item. I talked to customer service, which were not nice, they said the jacket was a final sale and couldn’t be returned. Nowhere on the page for the jacket said “final sale”. Lids won’t do ANYTHING for me, no return, no exchange, nothing.

      Lids/Fanatics hats are always inconsistently sized. You never know what you’re going to get — the sizing is all over the place, and the experience is poor with this company. Honestly, it’s a joke that they’ve been allowed to get away with this for years. You definitely can’t buy one online, either — if it doesn’t fit, they’ll charge you $10 just to return it, you must try it on in person, there’s a good chance it won’t fit properly otherwise, you should probably try on a few cause they’re all going to fit differently… Just a horrible company that able to take advantage of all of us sports fanatics.

      I purchased a hat from the Tucson Mall location over the weekend. I just so happened to be on that side of town when I bought it but when I drove 20+ miles home I noticed that the black security tag was still on it. I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal to get it removed since I work close to the Park Place Mall location and that I would just get it removed there after work. Come to find out that location doesn’t have a tag remover and that I would have to drive all the way back to the other location just to get a tag removed.

      Once I got there, the guy didn’t greet me when I walked in and instead just stared at me uninterested and asked what I needed. I showed him the tag still attached to my hat and he said “Oh sh**” and walked to remove the tag and handed me my hat back. I’m annoyed that I wasted my gas driving all the way across town, wasn’t greeted, and now have to drive all the way back home for something that could only be corrected at that specific store. Why they don’t have that at the other locations I have no idea. I will not be returning to this location.

      I ordered a Michael Jordan Mitchell and hardwood classic jersey for $300. It didn’t fit so I sent it back. They offered to refund me via E gift card so I did that because I planned on getting the jersey in a size that fit. Problem is the gift card doesn’t work.

I’ve spent about five hours total on hold alone but every time I talk to them they don’t have a solution for me they say they have fixed the issue but they have not refunded me my $300 or issued a new gift card.
