mainor5251 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have used Rob and his team at Kickstart several times and have gotten pretty good results. From my experience average turn around times is normally 2 weeks. This is how my most recent order compares: Kickstart: ordered 3 single head Gold package locations with restaurant/bar upgrade for $164.97, this order was placed on 11/06/11 and haven't gotten anything or heard anything since. Locators R Us: ordered 5 single head locations on 11/21/11 in the evening, got a conformation of order by 6:27am the next morning and by 3:46pm I had received 2 locations, a grocery store and a very busy buffet, used there promo offer with nothing down for 7 days and $20 a location. Kickstart gonna have to step it up or get left behind ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashman Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 These guys are looking promising , have already email for more info, I agree the currant locaters here are in for a run for their money if they don't step it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it seems to me for a hard to locate machine like that you would probably be your best locator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 New locator is the D@MN bomb! Just got my last 3, one a mexican restaurant, one a hispanic supermarket and the last is the biggest Chinese buffet in Panama City. looks like we got a rack locator that only charges $20. My storage unit will be empty in no time at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually located another one myself as a result of the normal work i do. So i will be bolting that sucker to their wall this week. I will give rob two more to locate and that will make 5 total locations and i will start scoping ebay again for machines. Rinse repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Cities Vending Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm happy with them. Placed an order for 2 machines on Sunday and had locations in less than 24 hours. One was a Mexican food restaurant and the other a muffler and automotive repair shop. I'm new so I guess I would be happy with any location.........

Nick505 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Holy Cow!!!!!!!! I ordered 2 locs last night and by 4:26 pm today I got an email from them with 2 restaurants! WOW. 2 locations (restaurants at that) in less than 18hrs. , I will purchase more as soon as these get in Friday. That is amazing. This is exactly how a locator should operate. If Locators R Us can keep up with the demand and the speed they are going to be very busy solely from our members. Now I wonder if they will locate racks!?

As long as placement goes well they have a customer for life. Working on them a wish list now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered two and informed them that I will not be able to drop them off until Monday so they said they will start looking on Friday. Glad to finally get these out of the shop.

nepavend Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 After seeing this feedback and checking out their site: 1. Their site isn't all that bad! 2. I emailed them immediately to see what they can do. If they can get anything good even with this time of year, which is traditionally the toughest time of year with the holidays coming, then I will be working with them more very soon.

Their site does suck, maybe they will make so much money off members they can pay Steve (Casseri) to re-do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM Vending Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Guys, I have never used Locators R us yet, so i can't say. But Rob is getting me good quality spots. I pay the extra 10 bucks and tell him what i want and he gets it. The turnaround time has not been the fastest i admit, but in the end it's quality over quantity. I can't speak for locators R us as of yet. They may be good, but Rob is also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VendorJay Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hey Rob is excellent thus far! ! ! ! ! ! ! Very good customer service, decent prices (could be lower I think...) and fairly fast (in MY experience). I have ordered 6 locations. One of my best locations with him does around $60/a month (and growing). If you give him 20 mile radius to work with, you'll get all sorts of spots. They keep it diversified ... I have pizza joints, salons, convenience stores... 1 of my locations got me KICKED out, but it wasn't Rob's fault. A couple spots are not so hot, but that's expected. Every single spot is making me quarters though, I can say that. I will continue to locate with Rob and using my own locating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Kickstart sent me three locations, a waffle shop, a popular hot dog shop and a bar. Happy with the first 2 but I've been by the bar before and I have serious doubts about it. The hot dog shop has another location so I'll try to lock it up also. Rob and his team have come through again it looks like. The only issue I have is they take all this info and then seem to throw it out the window. I listed gumballs as the only selection available and they still ask the location what they want in the machines and of course 9 out 10 times they gonna say M&M's so that leaves me explaining to them why I'm placing gumballs and not M&M's.

Nick505 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Has locators r us slowed down? I ordered on Monday the 21st and explained I wasn't going to be able to place until Saturday the 26th so they told me they would start locating for me on Friday the 25th. Monday around 4:00pm I get a location and Tuesday after I attempt to drop it off I refuse to drop it off at this location. ( very run down restaurant that is open and closed when is convenient for them). I haven't heard anything from them since. My guess is they just have many orders from members of TVF.

I ordered another location. Got a confirmation email on the 28th but it said they would start looking on the 21st. I emailed about the date and got no reply. I ordered another location on the 30th and no confirmation email.Not sure when the last time they were here on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 well crap this was short lived, heck I'm still waiting for paypal invoice or at least their paypal email for first order hope this isn't the beginning of the end already. I may be holding off on next order another week or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick505 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have confidence in them. They probably just have a lot of orders. I don't mind a short wait if they can come up with nice locations and keep their price competitive with other locators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberframe50 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I know they had some internet connection issues. Got to remember where they are located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This is the TVF curse I spoke of. Each time a good locator comes on board, they are swamped with orders and they just can't keep up. I can think of at least half a dozen locators this has happened to. Sent using Tapatalk for Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
