electronic tag still on dress!

    Just got home and realised that the electronic tag was still on the dress I bought. No wonder I was setting off alarms in other shops! But the security staff never once stopped me.

    Anyway, I was hoping to wear it tonight. Is there any way of getting it off easily without damaging the dress?






    Yes, I do have the receipt and I could go back tomorrow to have it removed - but I would like to wear it this evening if anyone knows :-)

    Any clothes shops nearby? That happened to my friend and she just went into a nearby one with the receipt, and explained the situation and they just took it off for her, no bother.

    Try a tesco too!

    If you're really desperate you could try opening the back of the bigger part o break it up and remove the securing magnet.

    If you have a strong magnet you can use this to remove the tag. There's some videos on YouTube that show how.

    Careful of this!! :eek: A lot of security tags have an ink capsule inside that bursts open if the security tag is forcibly removed.

    Sorry true. I had checked that the one I had didn't.

    Same thing happened to me. I brought it to my local Supervalu (Superquinn) and was able to use the device on their till that they use to remove the security tag from bottles of spirits.

    I tried the youtube magnet trick and that didn't work. Tesco would probably be a safer bet as they sell clothes - though I would bring your receipt as proof of ownership as they might look at you very suspiciously otherwise!
