I love LL Bean and have come to expect a lot of them; unfortunately this particular store falls short.
I went in looking for winter boots. I had done my research in advanced, so going in I was mainly looking to try on sizes and decide between two styles. I stood, looking around, with a "wall shoe" in my hand for quite some time. As I looked around I noticed that there were plenty of staff around, all kind of milling aimlessly but not really helping anyone. Finally I caught someone to help me, when he returned he said he could only find the boot in my size in a different color. When I opened the box it was a completely different boot. I tried it on anyways. After, I stood looking around once again and had to flag someone down. I told her that the guy brought out the wrong boot, she never appologize just walked away (to find the right boot), came back shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said "we don't have it." and walked away.
No offer of a different size, no offer of a different boot, no suggestion to try the website.
The selection of clothing is alright, but they don't have much in the way gear, not even much selection of backpacks and totes bags (two of their most popular items).
So, overall the customer service sucks, and the selection isn't great.
LL Bean has let me down with this one.
