How hard is this claim to file?

Shop Fanatics between May 6, 2018 and March 30, 2026 and got hit with a handling fee? File by August 27, 2026 and you'll get two $5 vouchers, each good for any single purchase on fanatics.com with no minimum. This claim form asks for 3 fields and 1 document.

What the form asks

  • Contact Information — Your full legal name (first, middle, last), current home address, email address, and phone number. (Your own current contact details — nothing to look up.)
  • Claim ID and PIN — The Claim ID and PIN from your settlement notice, if you received one. (Check the mailer or email sent by the Settlement Administrator. If you didn't get one, leave these blank and proceed.)
  • Claimant Certification of Purchase — Check the box confirming you bought from a Fanatics website between May 6, 2018 and March 30, 2026 and paid a handling fee on that purchase without knowing it. (Think back to your Fanatics order history. You can also check past order confirmation emails or log in to fanatics.com to review your purchase history.)

Documents you'll need

  • No documents required

Watch out for

  • The payout is two $5 vouchers, not cash. Each covers a single fanatics.com purchase, and you can't stack them on the same order.
  • The Settlement Administrator can research and verify claims, so only certify purchases you actually made.
  • Not every Fanatics site is covered. Check www.handlingfeesettlement.com for the full list before filing.
  • Vouchers won't go out until after the September 16, 2026 final approval hearing and any appeals are resolved. Plan for a wait.

We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

How do I file a claim for this settlement?

This record no longer has an open public claim form — confirm the current status and any next steps on the official source.

  1. 1
    Make sure you qualify: you bought something on a Fanatics website between May 6, 2018 and March 30, 2026 and paid a handling fee on that order.
  2. 2
    Fill out and sign the Claim Form online at www.handlingfeesettlement.com, or download, sign, and mail the paper form so it's postmarked by August 27, 2026. Mail goes to: Fanatics Settlement Administrator, PO Box 2010, Chanhassen, MN 55317-2010.
  3. 3
    If you got a notice in the mail, grab the Claim ID and PIN from it and enter those on the form.
  4. 4
    Sign the certification — it's under penalty of perjury, so only check the box if the statement is true for you.
  5. 5
    After the court grants final approval, you'll get two $5 vouchers for fanatics.com. Use them separately — they can't both go toward the same purchase.

The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, Fanatics Settlement Administrator. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.

Do I need to dig up old order receipts or screenshots?

No. The claim form just asks you to check a box saying you paid a handling fee during the class period and sign under penalty of perjury. No documents are required.

What if I don't have a Claim ID or PIN?

Not everyone will have one. You can still file a claim online at handlingfeesettlement.com or call 1-877-601-8705 for help. The claim ID and PIN fields apply to people who received a direct notice.

When will I actually get the vouchers?

Not right away. The court hearing to approve the settlement is scheduled for September 16, 2026. Even after approval, appeals could extend the timeline by more than a year. Vouchers go out only after everything is final.

What if I want to keep my right to sue Fanatics separately?

Can I use both vouchers at the same time?
