SchligVend Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I need a little help with a proposal.... I have never done delivery service before but i have received this offer from a location I currently have setup with machines. They are looking for someone to deliver 16 oz water bottles every other week for a total of 30 to 50 cases a month to them at multiple locations and all locations are not to far apart. What would your markup be per case for the delivery? What else should I think about before getting myself into this? or should i just avoid it at all costs? Thanks for any feedback....

AZVendor Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sounds like easy money with not too much work, unless the driving distance makes it time consuming. Figure out what bottles you can get on a regular basis (or the brand they want) then mark it up a little less than retail from your machine and collect your money. I would require payment upon delivery as too many businesses want to pay bills anywhere from 30 to 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I do this for a couple of customers, I mark up the water 30% and tell them the deliveries will be on their regular service day for the machines. If they want out of cycle deliveries I will add a 25 delivery fee on top of the markup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If you don't do it somebody else will and you don't want them in your account. This sounds like easy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchligVend Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks for the replies... I figured I would have to do it before someone else does, I wasn't to sure of the costs but i like the idea of a little less then the price in the machine. I will try that and see what happens....
