We talk about everything from registering for an account to ordering and pricing below.
How Can I Order Wholesale Toys?
Before you can order from License 2 Play, you must set up an account. You can register for an account here. Once you’re approved to order from us, you can use our online shopping system to browse toys, select the products you want, and check out.
How Can I Register for an Account?

We need to have your business information, sales tax number, and contact information before we can set up your account. The registration form is short and simple to make it as easy as possible to register.
What Are Licensed Wholesale Toys?
Most of the popular toys available in stores are licensed by the manufacturer that created them. The licensing ensures that nobody can reproduce those characters as toys or other items without asking for permission from the original creator. This permission is given in form of a license. The manufacturer must pay for the rights to reproduce and distribute toys.
Does License 2 Play Sell Licensed Wholesale Toys?
Every product you can purchase through License 2 Play is fully licensed with the brand creators. Since we offer both toy distribution and manufacturing, the licenses are held either by us or by our manufacturing partners.
How Long Does It Take to Receive My Order?
There is some variation in lead times based on your location, the type of products ordered, and the size of your order. At License 2 Play, we make every effort to ship your order as quickly as possible. For a lead-time estimate, you can contact one of our representatives at sales@license-2-play.com. Please provide your location, order details, and other relevant information, and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
What’s the Difference between Toy Manufacturing & Distribution?
A toy distributor purchases branded toys and products that were created by other manufacturers. They act as an intermediary between the brands and the retail stores. A toy manufacturer purchases a license to manufacture their own branded toys and gifts. License 2 Play is a toy distributor and manufacturer.

How Much Does Shipping Cost?

The applicable freight charges are added to your order just prior to shipping. If you need more information about shipping charges, you can contact us directly, and we’ll respond as quickly as possible.
