SeaTurtle Vending Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 for the love of all that is good in Vending, do not buy your gumballs from Sams unless it is an emergency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F J Vending Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 for the love of all that is good in Vending, do not buy your gumballs from Sams unless it is an emergency Why? Where do you buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffd95 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ok, went to sams store where they order for me quite a bit. There is even a brochure on the products, its called SOS, Sams Special order system. If they say they can't or don't know how, ask them to call store 8285, the number is 618-632-4501. There is no shipping charge to have the items sent to the store. The pamplet is from concord confections. Hope this helps. You may have to look the stock numbers up at samsclub.com first. And one of the earlier post, why should I not buy gumballs at Sams?

Lake Cities Vending Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I would also like to know where else to buy gumballs. Thinking about getting some of the different flavors and rotating them in my gumball machines. I'm looking at AA, Cardinal and TNT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTurtle Vending Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Why? Where do you buy them? Oakleaf confections. The reason is that the gum from Sams is low quality. This is just my opinion, but when it comes to assorted gum, I do not buy double bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevendingguru Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sea turtle vending, How much does gum at oak leaf cost? How how long does it take to ship? How much is shipping? I am in canada, where oak leaf is made, and I can't order from them. Last time I tried ordering from them, they said the minimum order was an entire skid (70 something boxes of gum) and I said no. I have been trying for the past month to get in touch with the sales rep and hasn't returned my calls. I would prefer getting it shipped to me, but if the price is right, I might get it shipped to Montana and drive the 10 hours each way to pick iy up. The cheapest place I can find gum up here is $40 a box, and that is ridiculuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davco1 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 America's Premier Vending Supply. Here is a link to a website that I get my candy from... PMM cheaper than sam's by the bulk case though (not bagged), Runts about $5 cheaper than quill (no free shipping though) and Sprees SOOO much cheaper than anywhere I can ever find them. Just buy all you need at once to save the shipping charges and note you cannot buy online, you have to call them and pay over phone with a cc. http://www.csi-net.n..._Candy__Gx.html They are www.smartvending.com now.

LandJGroup Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I buy all our gum through SAMs. I think it's silly to store gum, so i pick up cases every Monday for the week. I did the whole buying by the pallet thing a few years back. Only operate 50 or so candy heads. Get that from SAMs and runts from quill, but with the cost rising I will fase out of pie vending here soon. Except for one account that empties three beaver heads of skittles every single month. Wish I could vend gum there. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
