pinkbeats Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Out of all of the locators out there which one is considered to be the BEST as far as pricing and turn around time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkbeats Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Im calling on my seasoned vets who have used two or more of thesed locators to let me know which they prefer more!! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have only used one once so I can't help you there. I think you need to talk with a few to get an idea of how they will locate for you. They all have different styles and levels of service. You just need to find the one to fit with you. Look at the reviews and check with some at the top of the list.

pinkbeats Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 thanks!! so far i've tried first choice locators and i'm pretty pleased with their services. I like the post pay option!! that way i know exactly what i'm paying for!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakusa Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Forget about Midwest. They don't relocate like they say they will. I have been waiting a month for relocations for the non performers and the machines that got thrown out for lack of proper approvals. 3 months and 25 out of 40 located. I have 75 that need locating so the rest may go to First Choice to see how they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Rakusa......I am curious. How long have you been waiting before yanking a machine from a location that Midwest gets you? Are you giving the location a minimum of 2 months to see how the performance is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Son Vending Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Rakusa, I have recently used the Midwest company. They were quick, and responsive. They acquired what I believe will be good locations. I will report at the end of August in the midwest thread as that will be the one month. I wish you well...

rakusa Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 TbirdJohnny, Yes it was the 2 month and longer before yanking. I signed up in late March. They do dog it when it comes to relocatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just my opinion but from what I see and have heard on the boards there is NO ONE as good as MidWest. Period. I feel very lucky to have them as my locator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_r_vending Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I agree, Midwest has by far been my best locator thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm finally trying out Midwest for my DI machines. It has taken me a while ( I've been interested in using them for months.) I will let everyone know how it goes. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hey gang.......besides MidWest, what locators are people using successfully? I did not see any real answers to the question. First Choice? Who else?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 John, Well from personal experience, I have not been able to beat First Choice or KickStart. Everyone else is so far behind. I had good results with Ethical last year but their service level seemed to diminish when they became overwhelmed with business from VENDiscuss. They are great locators when they aren't so busy. I have not tried MidWest so I can not comment on them. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger vend Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Have used all of the locators mentioned in this thread and I now only use first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man422 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 What caused you to make that choice Ginger? Is it turnaround time, price, quality of locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger vend Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Most consistent locator from my experiences with quality locations (in money amts pulled and locations they get not being swamped with other machines). They also listen to my specific needs/requests the best (toy vs candy, location type, etc). Ginger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbizzell78 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Midwest is great for me after 45 days i had to relocate one i emailed them and they quickly got me what i think will be a hotspot.Ive tried Kickstart Rob is cool but i Midwest is more responsive for example,when they email you your locations you call Midwest before placing them because they call the location and let them know you are coming.Then call you back and give you the ok and name of whom you need to see .That way you know for sure you actually have the location before you get there .

lbizzell78 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Out of all of the locators out there which one is considered to be the BEST as far as pricing and turn around time?as far as your question goes ive tried kickstart and midwest .Midwest for me is best overall they cost more than Kickstart. Midwest had the best turnaround time AND CUSTOMER SERVICE i can attest to this. Kickstart was not very responsive and slow turnaround but i must say Rob did find me a good location.Many here are Kickstart fans and many are loyal to Midwest .Im rolling with Midwest for now .I think the best choice for building my business ,though I CANT KNOCK ROB at Kick start he is doing his thing ,and obivously well. to sum it all up check out the review section here Midwest, Kickstart,Ethical and First Choice seems like theyre all pretty good. give a try see who you like best. Oh yeah i may give First Choice a try with 1 -2 locations seems many love them also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlander Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I just got some locations from Rob at Kickstart and I will be trying Midwest next. Will post the results later and see where I go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
