Services offered

To make your business venture successful, customer friendly services and further offering quality products at a reasonable rate remain here a major ingredient. This will result in developing a trust of the customers and may boost the expansion of his business venture.

Mr. Kumar says, “the toys offered through Rentoys library are of internationally recognised brands like that of Fisher price, vtech, Okplay and funskool and keep the toys clean and well sanitised so that it can be recycled and we further do a free home pickup and delivery of toys at the doorstep of our members”.
