L.L.Bean return policy
You can return most L.L.Bean items for a refund within one year of buying them, with proof of purchase, though some conditions apply, such as no returns for misuse, heavy wear or personal-reasons returns. After a year, only items that are defective in materials or craftsmanship will be considered.
What L.L.Bean says

The page gives the window as "one year", recorded here as 365 days. After one year, L.L.Bean says it will consider returns only of items defective due to materials or craftsmanship. Items bought before 9 February 2018 are not subject to the one-year limit. Proof of purchase is required. Returns by UPS or US mail cost $6.50 per package (free with the L.L.Bean Mastercard or when paid entirely with Bean Bucks earned on it); returns in store are free except at Clearance Centers. In-store returns are refunded as store credit or cheque by mail, and PayPal refunds are not supported. Some items (oversized freight, hazardous materials, international addresses) can't be returned online. The page does not mention price adjustments, final-sale items or a longer member window.

More than this page shows
L.L.Bean also publishes 9 categories it excludes, and whether the window runs from the purchase or the delivery. Those fields, and the deadline for a given purchase date, come back from the API rather than being listed here.

No nationwide return or price-adjustment right: in the US each store sets its own rules, so Pricemend goes by the store's published policy.
This applies on top of whatever L.L.Bean offers, and sometimes gives you more.
