HOW TO STOP E-COMMERCE RETURN POLICY ABUSE WITH A HOME REMOVAL RETURN TAG
SIMPLE APPLICATION
You can loop the 360 ID Tag through new or pre-owned merchandise, with or without the original manufacturer's tags, to protect against return policy abuse. Each roll holds 164 feet / 50 meters of return tag material.
Just measure once...
DOUBLE IT UP
Measure out enough return tag material, plus a bit more, to create a generous loop that still allows the buyer to try the item on.
ALL YOU NEED IS SCISSORS
Measure twice, cut once.
THREAD IT THROUGH
Half on the inside. Half on the outside.
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
Bring the ends of the return tag material together to complete the loop. Printed with a repeat pattern every 4", the return policy on the 360 ID Tag will always be on display.
SEAL IT UP
Apply one of your uniquely numbered tamper-evident security seals to join the two ends together. The serial numbers add another layer of protection against return fraud as the 360 ID Tag can't be reapplied by a buyer who has a supply of return tags.
LOCK IT DOWN
Wrap the tamper-evident security seal around the return tag at the joint, sealing at the back, and your secure loop is complete. Press down on the seal to ensure good contact with the return tag. Don't forget to take note of the unique serial number for easy tracking of your returns.
VISUAL DETERRENT
Take your return policy to the next level by photographing an example of your merchandise secured with a 360 ID Tag. This is the easiest way to ward off serial returners or those looking to commit return fraud or return policy abuse.
FULL DISCLOSURE
Don't forget to mention the 360 ID Tag in your return policy or listings to provide clear notice to buyers that their item has a secure return tag. Honest buyers will appreciate the extra level of security.
WRAP IT UP
After the sale, ship your item with the easily integrated secure return tag attached. The 360 ID Tag is malleable and soft, so it will not damage or puncture fabrics like hard plastic security tags.
SHIP IT OUT
Give yourself peace of mind knowing that your merchandise is protected long after it has left your hands. The visible return tag gives an added layer of protection to items sold via e-commerce or online marketplaces.
TRY IT ON FOR SIZE
In the comfort of their home, buyers can assess items as they traditionally would, but with the secure return tag attached. Clothing, shoes, and accessories can still be tried on, just not worn out or photographed for an #OOTD on Instagram, stopping the snap-and-send-back phenomenon.
ACCEPTING A RETURN - YES!
Processing returns just became a whole lot easier for you, your staff, and your buyers. No more guesswork on whether an item has been used, worn or switched for a counterfeit item (yes – it happens!). Eliminate those awkward conversations as the state of the secure return tag tells the story.
A TAMPERED RETURN - NO!
Obvious evidence. Simple and predictable. The secure return tag effectively deters and fights ever-increasing return fraud incidents like wear and return, wardrobing, tag tucking, tag switches, and counterfeit product switches.
THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR
Reattaching the multi-layered tamper-evident security seal is impossible without evidence, as the VOID pattern remains visible once removed. This is the missing proof often required by online selling platforms. The state of the secure return tag tells a definitive story with more robust, photographable evidence than smells or signs of wear that weren't there when the item shipped to the buyer.
THE IMPACT OF RETURN FRAUD ON E-COMMERCE
According to the National Retail Federation, return fraud was a $101 billion challenge to retailers in 2023 - up from $25.3 billion in 2020. Adding a secure return tag to your merchandise offers a solution to this growing e-commerce and online marketplace problem.
