Here you will find our most frequently asked questions

When does my key tag expire?

You will find the contract term in the online customer account, or e-mail us at: sales@keymail.ch

How do I change my address?

You can change your information straight in the online customer account, or e-mail us at: sales@keymail.ch. Please be sure to specify your key tag number and your previous address.

I haven’t received a password for my online customer account?

If you own a keymail, under "Login" please click on "Login not yet received” below the Login box. You will then be able to set up your login yourself.

I have my Login information, but it’s not working.

Did you e-mail address change? Please log in with your old e-mail address and change it in your customer account! The next time you log in you will then be able to use the current e-mail address. If you forgot your password, please click on Forgot Password.

Can ordered key tags be transferred to another person?

Every key tag includes registration instructions. They can be registered by phone, e-mail (sales@keymail.ch), or in the customer account. So you can also give the key protection away to acquaintances, friends, and family.

Do I have to activate the SMS system?

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.

Will the keymail contract automatically renew?

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!  

Will keymail phone me regarding my key tag?

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

What can I do about annoying call centres with false statements?

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?
Help stop these unfair business practices. Use the link below to promptly report the incident to SECO (State Secretariat for Economic Affairs):

3. If the company sent you products and invoices, return these promptly with the note: Refused for unfair business practices. If possible, contact keymail with all details of the incident.
