Never received my order

I ordered my ByteTags on the Black Friday sale. Almost a month later and still no sign of my order. I received no email for shipping update or tracking information. No response from them either. I had to open a case with PayPal to get my money back.

Hi Robyn!

I'm so sorry to hear that you never received your order! I don't have access to your order information, but it sounds like it was definitely lost in transit. Since it was lost in transit and since you ordered over 30 days ago, we will gladly refund and reship your order for you :)

Please respond to this message with your order number, and we'll get that refund and reshipment processed ASAP.

Again, we're incredibly sorry for the inconvenience! It's very frustrating for us too when the post office loses packages.

Super excited about this pet tag

Super excited about this pet tag! Very pleased with purchase and experience. I can highly recommend! I think it's a great idea for any pet you have, dog or cat, to have such a secure tag and gives peace of mind.

ByteTag family now

I orders one for my big dog so I could see the size of it before getting some for my smaller dog. Now all 4 dogs have ByteTag’s. The shipping was really fast and with the sale going on and the discount code I received after the first purchase I got all 4 for $37. I love that it gives all the pets information right away. Makes me feel better knowing that if the dogs were to get out they would be well taken care of till I can get them back home

Love this ByteTag

Love this ByteTag! Easy to order, came in a very reasonable time. It was very easy to set up. Now I have peace of mind if my puppy gets away. Just knowing all they have to do is scan her ByteTag to contact us!

Responsible owners should use ByteTags!!

I am so glad I discovered this tag! I am a dog trainer and advocate, and this tag is a great way to keep all of your dog's essential information up to date and on them at all times. If your dog goes outside or has access to the outside for any reason, it is vital to have a form of identification, pertinent medical info, and your contact number in case they get lost.

My husband works night shift and I work very long hours during the day, so our dog ends up spending much of the day outside (yard is fenced, her dog house is heated/cooled). She is not one to wander off, but I'm glad to know if she does, she'll have this tag with her!

The tag does make a bit of clinging noise like other tags do, so if you’re not a fan of that then they do have a silicone option available.

Also I have not had an issue so I cannot speak for their direct customer service contact, but I did reach out with some questions on Facebook, and they responded pretty quickly!

Peace of Mind

I got the ByteTag because my puppy has yet to be microchipped and I wanted to make sure we could be reunited if we were separated. The app setup was easy and intuitive. We tested it out and the notifications worked perfectly. The product is very lightweight, but that's a plus for the dog. Recommended to all my doggy parents.

Not to be trusted

Placed an ordered over a month ago and it’s has still not been dispatched. Have chased a couple of times and received promises that it would be sent in a few days but nothing. Have asked for a refund but no response. I would look for an alternative.

Total scammers

Total scammers, disgusting customer service, bottom of the barrel trash bag losers.

I placed an order that they didn't ship (even though their site says 1-2 days) and it's been a week and a half. I decided against the order since they were taking too long, AND I read the terrible reviews all over social media. I checked their website and it says they accept returns up to 30 days after the item is delivered, and up to 60 days for an exchange. My order hasn't even SHIPPED yet, so I emailed them and asked them to cancel my order. Some loser comes back and says holiday sale tags are final sale as depcited on their website... So I go back yet AGAIN to the site to see where it says that, and it says NOTHING about that. I start to process an order to see if maybe it shows up in my cart saying sale items are final sale, and again... NOTHING. When I emailed them the screenshot showing them their OWN return policy, they go radio silent. SUCH TRASH. You will meet your demise and be out of business faster than you will ever even think to imagine... Because while you may get the sales NOW, word will spread faster on how much of a scumbag "company" you are, and you'll go from ahead of the game, to begging for scraps from loan shark investors to try and keep you afloat. TRASH.

Also, to anyone out there, please read social media reviews, and the review on their paid for ads on social media. Drowned out by people who JUST got their order and are happy with it, are complaints from people who were initially happy but are upset with either customer service, the product itself or their "warranty". So many people are complaining that the tag worked for a month, and then stopped. Complained that it broke and were told they'd get a replacement and never did, and so much more.

Hi Melissa,

First off, I'd like to thank you for your honest feedback here. This is a lot to take in, and we're incredibly sad that you had such a poor experience with us. I see that your order was fully refunded on December 6th.

I want to give a full breakdown of exactly what happened. This is not an attempt to excuse the poor experience you had with us, but we just want to be fully transparent:

In September, we started working with a new fulfillment company called ShipBob. The primary motivator for working with ShipBob was so that we could begin shipping ByteTags internationally (woohoo!). However, once Black Friday started, we quickly realized that ShipBob's system had some flaws.

Before I get into the flaws, allow me to explain a high level overview of the shipping process for e-commerce companies like ByteTag. First, an order is placed by the customer. Then, we print the shipping label for that order. Finally, we package the order, stick the shipping label to the package, and ship it.

Our previous fulfillment software would prioritize orders by date. So, if customer A ordered on November 9th and customer B ordered on November 10th, customer A would have their order shipped first. Unfortunately, this is not how ShipBob's system works.

ShipBob prioritizes orders by how common the items in the order are. So, for ByteTag, if a large percentage of customers order a Black ByteTag and a Pink ByteTag, those orders would be grouped together and printed first because they're very common orders (this is because it makes the packaging speed much quicker). The problem is, if someone ordered a lot of ByteTags, this type of order is not common, so it would get pushed back in the queue. This is far from ideal, and this is -- unfortunately -- what happened to your order.

It makes us very sad when we see some of the issues customers experienced because of this process, as we were working nearly 24/7 during the holidays to try and offset the problem. However, the only solution to the problem was hiring more people and getting more ShipBob systems -- which took time.

Fortunately, as of today, we have the right number of systems, and the right number of people to stay on top of the higher demand in orders that the holiday season brought. At this point, I'm sure that it is too little too late, but we hope that this clarifies the issues you were experiencing.

We're a relatively young company (founded in September 2021), so there will be some speed bumps in the road, but we always make it right for the customer and refund/replace when necessary.

Breached GDPR

Breached GDPR. I abandoned my cart and afterwards started receiving marketing emails about the Black Firday sale even though I did NOT opt in to these (the "Email me with news and offers" check box is unchecked by default anyway).

I might have resumed my order but since you have breached my trust and abused my personal data, I will buy tags from a different supplier.

Love It!

Looking for a tag for my girl. Found these and liked the concept. Once purchased I found it simple to set up, straightforward, and no hidden costs!

Not happy …

I bought this for my cat so I could find him if he runs out the door. turns out there isn’t GPS unless someone finds your cat and scans this collar. I tried to return it within two weeks of purchasing and they refused to refund or return it.

Great dog tag!

Great dog tag!! I am super pleased with my purchase! I have a Great Dane and a Shitzu Pomeranian Mix and they both love their new charms for their collars! I love that you can add a bit about your dogs on the profile. It really gives me hope I’ll always find my dog if they ever get lost! Super cute too!

Appears to be legit!

Haven't had this long enough to use in an emergency, but it appears to be quality, easy to use & does indeed provide some sort of tracking (which I like cuz I have a runner). It looks nice too. When scanned an email is sent to owner so you are aware that pet has been found - great feature that I tested & it works! :)

I love this tag

I love this tag. It is practical and it was very easy to activate. My son and I both downloaded the app on our phones and it worked. I thought our cat was going to remove it because she can stand her collar, but it has been great so far.
The pricing it's fair and the quality so far is very good. Two paws up!

Must Have for Pet Owners

Myself and Tucker the tater tot are thoroughly enjoying our new Byte tag. It was extremely easy and streamlined to get set up, walking you through each stop of the process. I appreciate how much or how little information you can provide to anyone who scans the tag and the ability to change it at a moments notice. I appreciate that anyone can scan the tag and it bypasses the need for anyone to take my dog anywhere to get his chip scanned. It feels like an added layer of defense of my little guy ever went missing. As far as the actual design of the tag, it is good quality and feels very secure. The part that actually rings to their collar is thick and well secured. As much as I hope to never “need” this product, it really is a must have for dog owners.
