West Coast Vend LLC Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 This is a positive review about LYPC vending machines and its supplier, Gumballmachinefactory.com I recently spent about $3,100 on equipment from Gumballmachinefactory.com I shopped around for a few days before I came up with the best prices I could find on new equipment. New, because I needed all stores to have the same equipment with the same exact look. They sell a brand called LYPC. I am sure it is built in China but it looked good on their website. I decided to call in an order instead of order on-line via their web site. I was very happy that a real person answered the phone after just a few rings. I asked for a salesperson and I was placing my order in minutes, after I asked a few questions, and they where answered quickly. Larry & Terry, the owners where great to work with. The order went out the same day and I received it via UPS on the day promised. Now for the review of the equipment. I ordered the BIG 5 Bulk rack setup with a 25" tall 2" capsule machine on one side and a 2 column sticker machine on the other. On the bottom step there are 3 single candy vending machines. The Big 25" capsule unit & the 2 column sticker machines look just like the Northwestern or Beaver machines that are out there. I have repaired Beaver machines before and it is the same machine. The single vending units look great. They have the same mech. as a 1800 vend machine. The canisters are very clear and the product looks really great in them. Adjusting the candy wheels are very easy. Just remove a couple of screws and it's done. The body is made of plastic the top of metal and it has a coin tray which makes collecting easy. I think they will hold up as well as anything else out there. I would buy from Gumballmachinefactory.com & LYPC products again. There service was great! They where always there to answer questions. Their shipping promises where right on the money. They back their product with a 30 day money back guarantee. They even have a price match guarantee. They have some great prices. Check them out. They have most of their product in-stock and ready for delivery. http://www.gumballmachinefactory.com Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks Gary! That's funny that you just reviewed them. I was actually looking at their machines online just the other day. I am seriously considering trying their tough pro machine. The double head with chrome stand. I LOVE that separate coin tray that opens up with a key. I like that I do not have to fool with the head of the machine at all to get my money out!! I am just questioning the quality of the coin mech etc. Anyone have experience with a LYPC machine? I know I am deviating out of the " A&A - Oak - NWest " quality machine category. I would appreciate any feed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Johnny, I have several of the LYPC's that Gary is using on the bottom of his racks. They were purchased used off of eBay so I don't know how old they are but they have been out on my route for almost 2 years with no problems.

T BIRD Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks Steve! I am going to try them. Its the Tough pro model with the coin tray that slides out of the bottom w/ a separate lock without messing with the head of the machine at all!! I LOVE that feature. I hate standing there and turning the lock on top of the head on my A&A or NWest ( to a lesser extent ) over and over until it unlocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I just wanted to show you how close an LYPC & Northwestern 2 column sticker machine really is. THIS IS THE LYPC MACHINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T BIRD Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Good luck to you Gary!! I am actually excited about receiving the 7 Tough Pros that I ordered. ( Doubles ) Terry gave me a great deal on them. And incredibly, they are already shipped and on their way to me! I just ordered them yesterday at noon. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-16802311020828_1985_17452855 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Gary, If you don't mind, what are the shipping charges like and how long did it take from order placed to order received? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I ordered 6 bulk (5 machine) setups with a step stand and the shipping was around $400. That's from IL to CA. (The closer you are to IL the less it will cost) I ordered them on a Thursday and received them the following Thursday, so in 5 working days I had them. Like I said in my review, they told me the cost of the equipment, cost of shipping and the day I was getting it. Everything was just as they said. That's the way to do business!

caserri Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Gary, Can we get a followup on these rack set-ups? How are they working for you now that you've had them for a month? I'm looking for a supplier for some set-ups and am considering these. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Steve & Forum Members,These machines have held up just fine. I have had a one issue with a sticker card getting stuck and today I had a small capsule machine not dispensing. These are normal issues that all machines have at one time or another. The BIG 2" capsule machines are working great.The Pro-Vend machines are great in high volume accounts because they hold 14 lbs. of candy or a full bag of 250 1" capsules. All machines have good locking systems. All machines have coin trays for easy coin removal. The Pro-Vend machines show the product very well from all angles. The base stands are solid steel and go together very easily. I will buy again as needed. I would recommend them to anyone. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I serviced my first pair of LYPC Tough Pros today. ( double head ) Over $30 in quarters at the location and the ease of simply a 1/4 turn of the lock and sliding out the coin tray is great! Can't get any easier. I am glad the location is busy so I can make sure this machine holds up well or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T BIRD Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Benjie.......its not a quarter turn lock on top. Its a separate coin drawer on the bottom of the machine that unlocks with a quarter of a turn. You leave the head and lock on top alone. Thats what makes it SO easy to service. You see it ? Right under the chute door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vend LLC Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think they are $159.99 for a setup just like the one Johnny has in the picture above. That's a pretty good price for a double with cash drawers and a chrome stand. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T BIRD Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I serviced another pair of Tough Pros in a Gap Store Break Room this evening. It had over $30.00 in it for 31 days. I was happy. I was even happier that it was a LYPC machine. I went in, spritzed the chrome and made it shine and turned the money drawer lock 1/4 way, pulled it out and dumped it in my bag and put the drawer back. I was in and out of the spot within a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
