L.L. Bean has ended its legendary lifetime guarantee - but these retailers will still let you return items pretty much whenever you want and with no proof

Ikea gives customers a 365-day return window for a full refund unless the product in question is a mattress, which can only be exchanged once.

Given that a year is a long time to hold onto a receipt, the store can also help you out by searching for an order using your credit- or debit-card number.

L.L. Bean previously offered an almost unbelievably generous return policy – customers could bring back any items bought at L.L. Bean if they felt it didn't live up to their expectations. The guarantee covered the item's full lifetime.

In February, the store reduced the return window to one year, which is still considerably better than a lot of stores.
