Aufgrund von Änderungen bei der Deutschen Post per 31.12.2024 mussten wir das Fundsystem für Deutschland anpassen. Neu kann der Finder den Code per Mail zu uns senden und wir senden dem Finder die Informationen, wie er den Bund zu uns senden kann, zudem wird der Finder auf das SMS System aufmerksam gemacht, sofern vom Besitzer eine Mobilnummer hinterlegt ist. Danach leiten wir den Bund wie gewohnt per Post/Einschreiben dem Besitzer weiter. Sollten dennoch Schlüsselbunde im Postbriefkasten landen, haben wir die Möglichkeit, diese zu erhalten und ebenfalls an den Besitzer zu senden.

No. Our key tag features 2 lost & found systems: The post box system and the SMS system. The post box system will always work, but the SMS system requires your mobile or landline number. Without these, the finder will be instructed to deposit the key ring in the nearest post box, as we do not have a telephone number for the owner.

No. You will receive a renewal offer before it expires. It therefore does not need to be cancelled.

Careful with calls from call centres! These will try to talk you into a purchase or unnecessary switch through unfair advertising! It’s a complete rip-off, since our key tags are still valid. keymail will only send you renewal offers in writing!  

No! For security reasons we will only contact you in writing with renewal offers for the respective key tag.

Every day we hear from our customers with examples of the methods these call centres use. They often claim:
- Your key tag has expired
- keymail no longer exists
- We have acquired keymail
- We work with keymail
-You need to order new key tags, the current ones are no longer working
- etc.

We recommend:

1. Ask for the company name, the name of a contact person, and ask for a callback number. If they do not clearly answer these questions, hands off. Your key ring is too valuable to be "protected" by dubious providers.

2. Are you on the no-call list?
