CONCEPT
1. What is KhilonaExpress?
KhilonaExpress.com is an online toy library. We provide toys on rent to our members. In addition to toys, we also have books, puzzles, games, flashcards, charts, CDs and worksheets to aid the complete development of your child. You can rent toys based upon the membership plan of your choice.
2. Why should I rent toys, when I can buy them for my kids?
The answer to this is exactly the reverse of the question – “Why should you buy toys, when you can rent them?” There are many benefits in renting vis-à-vis buying. Children outgrow toys very quickly as they grow. Moreover, they love variety and get bored with the same toys. Renting is an economical solution as compared to buying. And our homes, too, don’t have space to stock unlimited toys. Renting toys enables parents to keep their homes clutter-free while also providing a wide range of toys for their kids.
3. Why on-line and why not physical library?
Two reasons:
- In today’s busy schedule, an on-line library saves you a lot of time by sparing you from the trouble of actually visiting the library.
- An on-line library allows you to browse through the entire stock that we hold irrespective of whether it is available for ordering on that day.

SAFETY , HYGIENE AND BREAKAGE
19. What steps are taken by Khilonaexpress.com to ensure proper hygiene of the products, especially since these are used multiple times?
This is an aspect we are extremely particular about. We give utmost importance to hygiene and sanitization of the products. We follow well-established sanitization methods and material to ensure impeccable hygiene. Each item is thoroughly sanitized when it comes back and also when it goes out again. It is re-packed if re-packing is required.
20. What if the items are lost / damaged by me?
Loss or damage is not uncommon and we fully empathize with our members in such events. Normal wear and tear in fine, but if the damage renders the products unusable, it becomes necessary for us to replace the product to make it available to other members, as we would not like a damaged product to be in circulation. Hence, in such situations, we would seek your co-operation in making good the loss to the extent of the MRP of product minus 10% of cost. The MRP of each product is mentioned thereon, to ensure complete transparency with regard to the amount of the loss. However, in case of loss, if you get the lost piece or toy itself within your membership period, you can return the complete toy, ensure it in a good situation and get your money back.

Our processes are robust and as a policy, we check all items before dispatching them to our members. Therefore, in all probability, you would not experience a situation like this.
