I am looking to invest in the LLBean flannel sheets for the winter months. I wanted to know if they are worth it and if LLBean does Black Friday deals or sales? The king size alone are $239 not to mention tax so we might be looking at over $250. Pretty steep for sheets.
Hey r/BIFL
I heard L.L. Beans lifetime warranty was going away, so back in 2018 or something I had purchased an extra set of Percale bedsheets from L.L. Bean so that they would still be under warranty in the future. Spent maybe around $300-400 total on them, and around $800 for goose down sheets + pillow.
So, these were an extra set, and I had ONLY used them for a bit to test them out, and back in storage they went for a nice day in the future.
Well, here we are 4 years later. The color in the bedsheets have started to stain white, as well as grow very staticky and stiff especially after multiple washes.
Very frustrating to have that happen on a fitted and duvet cover both worth around $200-250.
Contacted L.L. Bean knowing these were still under warranty with no time restrictions, and they asked me to send them in.
Sent them in, and L.L. Bean contacted me to tell me that they are not going to be able to replace/refund the sheets as it has been 4 years... even though it was a "lifetime" warranty.
Oh and they also destroyed the sheets... so not getting those back. Effectively have no product/service and no money. If I can find the transaction I will attempt to charge the transaction from years ago back as it still is under warranty, just not sure how lenient my cc company will be with that
Not only has the company gotten rid of their warranty/guarantee policy, but they are actively denying requests from products still purchased within that warranty. Essentially just trying to be as stingy and save as much money as possible.
I fear more now for my other sheets... as I have very much overinvested in a company's bedsheets that are a ghost of it's former self from 4-5 years ago.
Casper and Tuft & Needle support on the other hand? Absolutely devine.
Vote with your wallets, don't buy L.L. Bean anymore.
Anti-consumer tactics are no good.
