I need the Owner to contact me, but I don’t wish to give out my name or phone number. What can I do?
Open a zCase. This allows you and the owner to communicate back and forth with each other while maintaining your anonymity. To open a zCase, simply enter the zTag ID number into the search field on our home page. When you are presented with Message Options, select number 2.

Who pays for shipping on returned items?
That is for both the Owner and Finder to work out. There are many honest people who want to return lost items. zReturn’s mission is to give you a fast and reliable way to contact each other, while keeping yourself as anonymous as you want to be.

     F.A.Q. Index     Top of Page

 

 

Should I arrange to meet the Owner of the product to return it?
That is for you to decide. We recommend that you use common sense and exercise extreme caution. Give out as little information as possible, and if you choose to meet, do so in a public place.

     F.A.Q. Index     Top of Page

 

 

It says that I can only send 3 Insta-Found messages per tag, why?
Simply to prevent abuse. Since Insta-Found Messages are anonymous, if someone gets hold of a valid zID number, they could send whatever type of message they want, as long as they like. To keep possible abuse to a minimum, no more than three Insta-Found Messages can be sent per zTag. Once the Owner marks the item found, then this is set back to zero.

What if I need more stickers/key tags?
Currently we only offer the standard zReturn Kit. If you need additional zTags or key tags you will need to purchase a complete kit.

I entered my zTag ID number correctly, but the website keeps telling me: "It appears that this zID number is already in use." What should I do?

Why must I sign up to register my zTags?

I’ve never lost anything, why should I buy this?
Think about how you will feel if you do lose something. Look at your portable MP3 player, digital camera, laptop, cell phone, etc. Don't just consider the dollar amount it would cost to replace it, but the valuable information and time that would be lost.

Why don’t I just make own tags and put my info on there?
Because your own tags would reveal personal contact info that you may prefer not to display. This info can also change. With zReturn you have anonymity and a complete lost and found system behind you.
