Fanatics agreed to settle Cavanaugh v. Fanatics, LLC, a case over charging a handling fee on orders advertised with free or flat rate shipping. Purchases on Fanatics.com and its partner league and team stores between May 6, 2018 and March 30, 2026 qualified, with no proof of purchase. Each valid claim gets two $5 vouchers, each good for one order.

Claims are closed. Our source does not list the deadline date. The case is in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial District.

Where it stands

The claim window has closed. No hearing date, approval order, or distribution notice appears in our source.

Vouchers have not been reported as issued.

When checks usually go out

Payment follows court approval, a roughly 30-day appeal window, and a claim review that screens for duplicates and fraud. Administrators describe this as several months, and the notice on the administrator site is the reliable signal that it has begun. This settlement pays in vouchers, so watch the email address you filed with, not the mailbox.

If you filed

Hold onto your claim confirmation, and if you move or change banks before checks go out, update your details on the administrator site. Messages promising an early payout for a fee are scams; the only money here comes from the fund, at no cost to you. The Payout app lists settlements that are still open, if you want to catch the next one before its deadline; filing on any administrator site is free either way.
