I bought a hoodie from the Gxp Outlet in the States east coast a while ago, took it out lately wanted to wear it and found out that the security tag is still attached to it!!
Luckily I still have the receipt, so I took it to the Gxp store nearby and asked if they could remove the tag for me. The salesperson said that their tag system here is different. Here they use magnetic system the tag is detached when it got tapped on their device, but the one on my hoodie use pin system so they cannot take the tag out for me. He said that all Gxp in Canada use the magnetic system.

Anyone has similar situation happened before? any idea what I can do for this purchased hoodie with security tag on it? I am not planning to go to the States anytime soon.

I had similar experience. I bought a coach bag from the outlet in US. And every time I pass through  ...

  i went to the states with my aunt. For some reason when she walked in to RL the security will "beep beep", then she put the bags back into the car. It still "beep  beep" but she was carrying NOTHING. Then we found out, it was her jacket that was beeping. We don't know why that her jacket beep, she was wearing that jacket for a long time. weird.

If the tag is the big one, just bring it to any of the same chain with the bill and they will gladly remove them.

Many highend clothing will have the tag hidden inside the seam during manufacturing. I have seen tags inside leather jackets and shoes. But they are easy to de-magnetize once you know where they are.

yes, i'm sure that sportchek was using the same security tag . go to sportcheck and try your luck.

Maybe try finding a manager/supervisor at GAP here and see if he/she can help? Can they ship it back to the store where you purchased it from and have it shipped back? I mean.. afterall... it's their fault.

Thanks for everyone input, the one attached to my hoodie is a noticeable tag, not just a sticker. I searched online and it is very smiliar to the one shown in this picture, my hoodie is stucked in between the big tag and the pin tag.

use a metal cutter to cut it

    In my case that thing doesn't "stick" to my bag, so  I just took it out.
