FAQ

Good questions, straight answers

A better chance of getting your lost items back — here's how it all works.

The basics

What is ReturnMePlz?

ReturnMePlz makes simple recovery tags and labels for the things you don't want to lose. If your item goes missing and someone finds it, they can scan or tap the tag and message you — giving your belongings a much better chance of finding their way home.

Does it track my items?

No — and that's deliberate. There's no GPS, no batteries and no location tracking. ReturnMePlz is about recovery, not surveillance: it simply gives an honest finder a way to reach you.

Is my personal information safe?

Yes. Your name, phone number and email are never printed on the tag. A finder sees your item's name and a simple way to send you a message — you decide what to share from there.

Do I need an app?

No. You activate your tag on our website in seconds, and finders use nothing more than their phone camera (QR) or a tap (NFC). No downloads, no accounts for finders.

For finders

I've found an item with a ReturnMePlz tag. What do I do?

First — thank you. Scan the QR code with your phone camera, or hold your phone against the tag if it says Tap to Return. You'll see a page where you can message the owner. If you can't scan, enter the 6-character code printed on the tag at returnmeplz.com.

Does it cost me anything to return an item?

Nothing at all. No app, no account, no charge. Just the warm glow of being someone's hero.

Products & practicalities

Are the labels waterproof?

Yes — our QR labels are designed to be waterproof and dishwasher-tested for bottles and lunchboxes, and our wearable products are built to handle everyday life outdoors.

Which phones can read the NFC tags?

Most modern smartphones — both iPhone and Android — read NFC tags out of the box, with no app needed. And every product has a fallback: a code the finder can type in at returnmeplz.com.

What if the finder can't scan the tag?

Every tag carries a short human-readable code. The finder just enters it at returnmeplz.com and reaches the same page they'd have reached by scanning.

Can I move a tag to a different item?

You can update the item's name and details any time from your activation. Adhesive labels themselves are single-use once stuck, but sleeves and tags can move with you.
