Me here--OP. I ordered several long sleeve tee shirts for my granddaughter, had them sent directly to her as a Christmas gift last year. None of them fit, even though they were all the same style, different colors. She is a track runner and it is cold and windy where she lives. One was a real icky color, one the sleeves way too long etc, and the quality of materials seemed to be cheap, not heavy like advertised. My DD had the original sales receipt, and asked for a Land End Card or a Sears card. She refused and got quite snotty. It did get credited back to me, and I sent her the money. That is what I was upset, as I felt she lost part of her Christmas gift. Yes, I would have asked for a supervisor etc, but it was my DD and GD handling the problem, about 1500 miles away from me. My GD is 17 and not upset. It was me that was upset. Hope this clarifies the problem. On there web site, there is more than usual complaints about the products, and I used to order from them all the time. Right now, I just find LL Bean with better stuff and better to deal with.
Thanks for asking for clarification. Hope you have good luck with your purchase.

Not all Sears stores carry Lands End.

Years ago Landsend's quality was top notch...not so much anymore.

Yeah...they did away with the Lands End department at the Sears close to where I live but they still will do returns.

I'm done with Lands End...it's L.L. Bean from now on for me.

Another who is unhappy with Lands End. A few years ago I ordered their squall jacket and love it, but wanted one without the attached hood. After trying a number of times, I finally gave up....their sizes are so strange; the jackets were tight in the body, and the sleeves ended at my finger tips. Too many returns so just gave up. Still love my old squall!

Interesting comments about Lands' End slipping a bit. I used to order shoes and boots from them all the time, and could count on their size 9 fitting me perfectly. No more.....my last few orders have all gone back to sears. I continue to be pleased with their fleece, though, and have gotten some nice things from their men's department for my son.

Alisande: my dh was in a running shoe store. The clerk indicated that peoples' feet change over time. He used to be a 10.5 & now is an 11. So you might want to get your measurements redone. We had no idea that with athletic shoes [you know those extra holes off to the side] can be laced in several ways in order to make the shoe fit your foot/heel much better!

I agree entirely that Lands End is not what it used to be. I ordered and returned a few items and then decided the heck with them. I still like LL Bean.

Cate, I just discovered those extra lace holes and they do make a difference in the way a shoe fits.

Very timely post. I was just thinking about ordering some turtlenecks from Lands End. I bought some Jones of New York shirts which I've bought for years, but these were so chintzy I was really disappointed. I guess I'll have to rethink and look into L.L. Bean. So much for outsourcing.

L.L. Bean has free shipping on anything, any time. I just got a beautiful fleece from Lands End and love it but in the past year I have had to return swim suits and shoes that did not fit or were cheaply made.

Every Sears will accept a Lands End return with original Packing slip. The credit will go to the person who ordered it.....

Here is a link that might be useful: Lands End return at Sears

Land's End started going downhill the day that Sears bought them. It's sad, because the old owner ran a quality company.

I was a Land's End customer for about 20 years...and am wearing an older turtleneck right now! But i've quit buying from them.

Cate, my feet grew with every baby--or, I should say every pregnancy. I started out as a size 7.5, and now I'm a 9. Not all of the Lands' End shoes were too tight.....some were too loose. There was no consistency.

I guess I was not paying attention -- I didn't realize that Sears bought LandsEnd. Now I knew that Clorox bought out Burt' Bees some time ago.
