vendsmarts Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 A few weeks ago I found a locating company called Bargain Locators online. I was a little nervious trusting locators after an experience I had, so i didnt place the online order at first. I filled out a contact form on there site and got a call from them. After talking to them I decided to give them a chance by having 1 placed first. They only charge $30 to find a location for any type of bulk/gumball machine. I was told within 10 days they may have location. On 12/23/11 I placed an order. In my paypal payment notes I wrote within 5 miles from my zip and what types of location i want. On 12/26/11 I got an email saying location found. Its under 2 miles from my house and the type of location I requested. I placed it that day. They worked fast and I will use their service again. Heres their site link: http://rumbley.homestead.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulkvendingwizard Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I placed an order for a double head location and got the location from Bargin locators in less than 24 hours. What i like most about "Alex" the owner of bargin locators is that he keeps in good contact with his customers which shows loyalty. I have not used his service for a rack yet i think I am going to have him place a few next week. As you all know i have orders with other locating companies actually 4 different ones and thusfar Alex is proving to me that he operates a great locating business. The other companies do keep in contact dont get me wrong but I think that Alex and his team cares about getting quality over quantity. Thusfar I would reccomend him to anyone here thats doing bulk vending. I will keep everyone posted on how things go with Alex and his team along with the other locators..... but this company is an A+++ in my book thusfar.

antoniocinisi Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 find some of your own locations too.take pictures of machines to show the location owner.make sure you tell them it`s on a profit sharing basis and that there is no contract and I bet you can get a few locations on your own.I used to hate locating as much as the next guy,while I am still not fond of it I have gotten better at it and it save me a lot of money.you may be able to get better locations too.

HHV Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 has anyone else use bargain locators lately? Also bulkvendingwizard and vendsmart--how are the sales at the locations he got for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have recently been using bargin locators. Alex was able to obtain a pizzaeria for me which looks to be a good location but i have not collected from the machine yet but i am almost certain that the reveune will be good. Their turn around time is great and communication is very good as well. I have them placing a couple more locations for me ill keep you posted on how these turn out.

vendsmarts Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 I serviced the location yesterday. Pulled $20.75 which isn`t bad for its first month. The owner has a big family that owns other businesses that will let me set up in their locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bil10219 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Has anyone else use bargain locators recently? I need a locator and while the reviews look good on this thread, I'm seeing where he ripped off another customer recently. Does anyone have any feedback on them?

Nick SDL Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 LRU seems to be a decent locator for other users and myself. The price is good and turn around seems to be around the same for everyone. Plus they will locate first and you don't pay until you deliver the machine.

cashman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Am wondering also, I have sent them two or three emails and have heard Nothing back, not sure whats going on. Honestly was hoping for better service then this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 LRU or first choice locators are the best in the post pay business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Got tied of waiting and called them, ( I think i woke him up ??) I asked " is this Bargain locators ?" answered yes, question are you still locating ? No not taking any orders anymore. So there we have it another one bites the dust . To bad I have 40 machines to place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Locators have thier place but one should really learn to do it ones self. I'm no great saleman but I have learned over time how to make a presentation and build business. What is wrong with starting out by stopping at locations on your way home from work (if you work days) or on the way to work if you work nights? Seriously, if you really want to build a business driving past possible locations every day is a huge waste. Are there businesses that you have always patronized? Ask them. After I got going and for the many years I was part time I took different routes home so I could talk to more prospects. Hey, you could have a future in vending but not if you are timid!

cashman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I do self locate, but am looking for a little help as I want to grow faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 if i had 40 machines to place i sure wouldn't use bargin locators. I would only suggest using First choice or rising star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashman Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Funny you say that, also have a email into first choice and have not heard back from them either Thinking some one should start a proper locating company and run it properly clearly there is a need .
