Nobody said two wrongs make a right, least of all I. But it seems multiple folks miss the mark on what I was saying. I asked a question of LRS, "What is the return/exchange policy?". I received (after a few emails trying to find my order) a response that the order is too old, try to sell it on craig's list.
Repeating this is getting old. And no amount of deflection or misconstruing my comments is going to change this fact.
Never did I receive this (at time of order, upon sending my inquiry, never):
"All Long Ride Shields products are packaged with a clear film that adheres and conforms to the windshield surface. This protects from damage and ensures the purchaser receives a quality product. Upon receiving a windshield, inspect it for satisfactory performance and quality. If the film has not been removed and the rider is unhappy with the windshield for any reason, return it for a full exchange or refund, minus any shipping and handling charges.
In the event that the windshield is sent back with any damage or if the clear film has been removed, a restocking fee of 25% of the purchased price will be applied to the return or exchange. All shipping costs for returns and/or exchanges are the responsibility of the original purchaser of the product.
With your order number on hand, please contact us through phone or email and we will get your return processed.
All returns must be made within 30 days of the original product ship date."
I eventually found this on my own doing a web search.
Again, this isn't a question of me wanting a refund/exchange with no regards to the rules. If they communicated with me in the future, I would not exchange my shield as I will no longer do business directly with them.
The issue I take exception with is the poor customer service response received in return.
I anticipated that I would eat the cost even without knowing the policy. I clearly stated this in an email to LRS. I only wanted to see the return policy which I have found by myself. In hindsight, I should have never communicated directly with them and just used the web to find my answer.

Really.... they literally said - No we wont take it back & you should try to sell it on craigslist? Cmon man!
secondly - you never read or had the paper with your package stating what their return "rules" are?, Now it seems you have beat the horse dead on your side of the argument but im lost in the fact you bought a product & didn't eyeball the fit within a reasonable time? you removed the shrink wrap cover correct? I don't know what to say really. when I buy something for my bike its like Xmas when it arrives, I almost put that item on same day or atleast within a week....!
Ill tell ya - I like their product, works very well, customer service was really good, delivery was quick - what more could anyone ask for? why not list it for sale as clearly you ordered a shield & it didn't fit your bike, hell most guys would buy it just to have a spare. Good Luck - all I know is this shield is worth it & Id buy again unless something goes really wrong.

I purchased a Ultra wide flat top in October of last year from LRS directly. 75 bucks with 10 bucks shipping. Love the 11” ultra wide flat top. Does the job as stated. Business must be demanding to increase price from 75 bucks to 120 bucks. My customer service was good and receiving of windshield in timely manner.

When did you order? The reason I ask is we replaced our entire customer service and marketing teams because that was an issue in the past. We would love to help you and actually expect to hear our customer feedback. If you don't mind, what could we do to help improve your ride and bring you back to our company?
Again, I am sorry our team failed you in the past, and we have replaced that old material with the highest optical quality on the market this month. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,

I sure hope that this turns your customer service around. I ordered a windshield 14 months after I got it, it started craze cracking around all three mounting holes. The customer service rep was quick about responding to my initial requests. Asked for pictures then went silent. I will not spend any more money with your company nor will I recommend it. But to those that are potential future customers, I wish them and you all the best of luck.
