Lauri & Co Information

We are glad that you are taking the time to learn about us. In short, Live And Learn is a Maryland, USA based retailer of better children's products. We have been in business since 1988. Although we are a family run business, we are a S Corporation. As with all Maryland based businesses, our company records are available to the public. And finally, we are proud to have the distinction of being the oldest online toy store. That's right, we are the oldest operating online toy store. In fact, when we first started Live And Learn, people in the toy industry thought we were crazy to think we could sell toys on the Internet! Well, who is laughing now? Since we began, the "big boys" have come and gone, but lo and behold, we have been here since the dawn of the web...and will be here tomorrow because we know what we are doing, we know our customers, and we have a thorough knowledge of the products we sell. Disney owned toysmart.com vanished overnight as did redrocket.com which was owned by Viacom Inc., toytime.com is gone and the biggest of all, etoys.com is a fading memory. And analysts are still worried about many of the other biggies! We are still here because we are not a huge corporation trying to cash in on a new selling media. We are still here because we are real "toy people". We know our products, we limit our stock to the best toys available, we maintain proper inventories, we sell our toys at fair prices, and most of all...we treat our customers as people, not invoice numbers, and we offer real personalized customer service. You can actually call us on the phone, and speak directly with the person handling your order. We would like to see you try that at the mega stores which are online! Live And Learn is a strong, solvent company with a solid track record and a long history of e-commerce. We are a reliable and safe shopping site. All orders are transmitted to us via 128 bit encryption. And as an added security measure, all paper copies with customer data are shredded after 90 days! Yes, you can purchase ...
