I wonder if the old purchases are grandfathered in.

Another company changing their overgenerous return policy due to unsavory people abusing and taking advantage of the policy. LL Bean suffered $250 million loss the past 5 years from people returning "destroy quality" expired items. That's ridiculous.

Sounds like a dumb policy to have anyway. "My great grandma bought this dress 100 years ago, and it's not in style anymore. I'd like to return it."

Without internet exposure of jackasses abusing the policy, thus encouraging more asses, LLBean would have been fine and wouldn't have had change anything.

Not sure. I don't have a keen grasp on it. but it seems like low class 'I'm gonna take whatever I can get, and fuck you' behavior has become common over the last couple decades.

Ya know... if LL Bean's fleece lined slippers weren't made so poorly, my wife wouldn't have to return them every 2 years for a new pair.

For how much they cost, they should last a decade.

No because everyone and everything says millennials are killing the brick and motar store so it's obviously not them.

Performance Bicycle also use to have a lifetime warranty, they switched to one year a while ago.
