@films14, where is your speedy made in? This misalignment is really bad and not worth you paying full price for 
Hey guys! I have bought my very first speedy three weeks ago and have not worn it yet. Today I took the padlock out of the dust bag - I have already tried the lock before and the first two days it was hanging on the bag, then I removed it and placed it back in the dust bag. When taking it out today, I noticed that it not only completely tarnished (it already started getting brown finger prints I suppose where I touched it after the first two days), but now it has completely changed its color from light gold as the zipper and the rest of the hardware to bright yellow. The color is totally different from the rest of the hardware and really pops up if worn together. I wonder - is this normal? If not, do you think LV would exchange just the lock (I do not want to return the bag)? Thanks for your help!
I would return - usually I don't return for tiny issues but this is quite off. They've got to be perfect or it devalues it later.
Made in USA... Assuming since it was an online order, it wasn't checked before packing? Idk, I will be exchanging in store. I have 2 vintage speedy 25 & 30 and have never seen this before. Noticed during my unboxing video & was like "whoa, that can't be right...)
Was thinking same thing... tried to tell myself that MAYBE this boo-boo would raise it's value LOL, but if it bothers me, it's def. got to go.
Yes... I've decided to exchange it in store & NOT online... I was just going to order another online, and then exchange online, but decided to go in store to ask WTHeck happened LOL. Plus I'm not sure how online works if they're all pre-boxed sitting in warehouse or are they selected by someone at distribution center? Mine came from Ontario CA, (ordered online bc of covid) and to return it goes to NJ. So, I think in store is best option but def. not as easy as online.
