Our objective is to maintain consistency in the quality we propose.

Yes, we meticulously clean and sanitize all toys before listing them for sale. We also inspect all toys to ensure that they are safe for children to play with.
In which containers should I put the toys to give-away?
To give your toys, you can use whatever you want : bags, cardboard...
Please ensure that the toys are securely packed and that the box or container is clearly labeled "Circle Toys Donation."
Just be aware that if you are not at home during the pick up, you will have to put the toys in a sheltered area.
Where do you deliver?
Currently, we deliver to all areas in Switzerland by working with various carriers and the Swiss Post.
For big and heavy toys that will not fit easily in a cardboard box, we offer a pick-up service at our premises to reduce the carbon footprint and keep shipping costs reasonable.
Where do you pick up the toys?
Currently Circle Toys is in a pilot phase in the Zürich area. Therefore the pick up service is only available to the city of Zürich. We are working hard to offer this service to other cities soon! Stay informed by following us on instagram and subscribing to our newsletter.
