Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 9, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 9, 2018 L.L. Bean's outdoor gear — including its signature Bean Boots prized by campers and hipsters alike — is no longer guaranteed for life. In a letter to customers Friday morning, the company said it has updated its return policy to give customers one year to return purchases, with a receipt. The previous lifetime guarantee, which enabled customers to return products years — or even decades — after purchase, has long been a selling point for the company. "Increasingly, a small, but growing number of customers has been interpreting our guarantee well beyond its original intent. Some view it as a lifetime product replacement program, expecting refunds for heavily worn products used over many years. Others seek refunds for products that have been purchased through third parties, such as at yard sales."' L.L. Bean says the policy update will affect only a "small percentage" of returns and pledged to keep its mission of selling "high quality products that inspire and enable people to enjoy the outdoors." The company says if a product is defective, it will "work with our customers to reach a fair solution" even after a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 9, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 9, 2018 I just had a pair of jeans delivered from there today. I never bought jeans from them but I had a pair of levi's that blew out om me last week that were 3 weeks old. I also hate the " have a receipt" part of the warrenty . I'm not a receipt guy.

FYI, it's a pain in the ass to get oil and grease off them. Just don't trip and fall in a parking lot and you should be fine. Like you work for a living?

They have a store front down the road from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's weird is, usually I wear Carharts or something similar. These are actually lighter and more flexible. Not sure how tough they are but I'll find out this summer.

I have a bunch of there stuff . for the most part decent stuff but way overpriced . 1 thing of theirs I have that I cant replace and it is shot to shit after 22 yrs of use is there bucket boss for milk crates . best fucking tool box for the day to day shit ever . I still use it every day but it is in real tough shape. they use to be priced a lot more competitive than now . they are now marketing to the millennial dip shits who try way to hard to look like a working man as they shop for there new records to experience that soothing sound only a record can produce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
