ToyGaroo

Closed.The domain now leads to a domain-for-sale page; the service is no longer running. The toy rental service shut down after its Shark Tank deal because it could not buy toys at wholesale prices and ran into shipping cost problems.

What's in the box: When it operated, each box held a few rented toys chosen from an online catalog, and families returned them to get the next set.

ToyGaroo is closed and no longer operating, and its old web address now leads to a domain sales page instead of a toy service. When it ran, ToyGaroo was a US toy rental subscription for young children. Families picked toys from an online selection and got a box of them by mail. They kept the toys while the kids played with them, then sent them back for a fresh set. The idea was to give children variety without filling the house with toys they would outgrow in a few weeks. The company became known after it appeared on Shark Tank and made a deal with the investors there. That attention did not save the business. It could not buy toys at wholesale prices, and shipping bulky boxes in both directions cost too much, so the service shut down. You can't sign up, there is no working account system, and there is nothing to order. If you want a rotating toy or building set rental, look at services that are running now. Check their terms, cleaning practices and return rules before you commit. ToyGaroo appears here as a record of a service that no longer exists, not as an option to consider.
