alyssamma Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 T-Bird, I don't get it. Are you saying you've paid them $1600 and gotten nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 What dont you get Aly? They owe me that amount of locations. They have given me like 4 locations for double heads since January 5th. Two of them are total bombs and need replacing. So.........there it is brotha. Oh yeah.........plus they owe me like 7 locations for a route I purchased that they were servicing.

alyssamma Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 LOL, sorry, poor choice of words I know you said you weren't going to call them, but...have you tried? $1600 is a lot of $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I am not concerned about getting the money back. I trust that I will get it back from Marge. The point is its amazing how she can let something like this go without closure with me when I was her biggest fan when she first was being used by us last year etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I am dreading calling them to relocate my relocated machine. This one has made like $5 a month so it is better then the original placement of $4 a month. Nowhere near the guarantee. Shoot with 6 months on location it has not even paid for the cost to locate it. I think I may ask them to convert it to a triple placement because they are not having good luck with this DI machine.

To be honest with you, I do not even care about the two machines I have on location from them that need to be relocated. Its absolutely futile IMO in terms of ever being able to get that done.

Beer980 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It does seem odd that you and even Steve has one he has been waiting on since like October. There is something amiss here. Back at the end of the year they called me to see how the location was doing. I had just serviced it and read them the total three month take and they said they would replace it the first of the year. This time they have not called to check on it so I will make the call to them. I think I will try email first to see what kind of response I get. Hang in there and stand your ground.

bruce Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I received a call today from Jackie at Midwest. Marjorie has sold the company to Jackie who has been there for six years. She told me she will keep the same warranty, and try to do better on locations. It will take a little longer to get the locations placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreeterww Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Its incredible. Midwest still owes me a large snack and soda location and jackie told me that they sold that part of teh company to marjorie and they told me that marjorie would give me a call back. Its been weeks and no call back at all. My contract was with midwest and they shoudl honor that contract or return my money back. Im gonna try to call them back again. I guess im too nice on the phone:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavity Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Odered 4 locations about a month ago. Finally received the locations and went to place today. 2 went smoothly the other 2 corporate spots got the boot. What's up with that? I thought these people do the call back thing and verify the location is able and willing to accept the machine? Will update when we hear back from them.

ginger vend Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I am waiting on 2 commission locations that I paid March 1st. I finally gave up on the charity location replacements from last June and July that I never got. Thought I would give them a try with the comm locates and see how they did with those----bad idea!!!! Whenever I call they "have me on the list and are working on it" but nothing ever comes of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbizzell78 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 im in the same boat as you and im tired of phone talk lies and excuses. midwest was great before the buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I had some locations that I ordered shortly before the buyout. One got the boot, and after a few weeks to get everything settled, they were in touch with me and got me a replacement location quickly. All in all, I wouldn't complain. My four way machines they located are frequently under performing the guarantee and I'll ask for faster locations for the slow ones. I had got one gravy location, but it was in a WM and after a month they moved it to the break room. (It had done 67$ish in that month) The break room location might stink, since there are two other vendors in there with charity machines and snack machines to compete against. Corporate rules get me down, but I remind myself as I grow I will start convincing smaller corporations to let me take several accounts at a time and won't need the manager's approval. Then I'm back to my happy go vending self again. Anyway, I wouldn't give up on getting your locations. It seems they are really going after getting people's accounts in good standing. She really wants the business to be successful, so she needs to retain these accounts. Give her a call, or e-mail her. I bet she would be happy to get things straightened out and get you the locations you paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 It seems I am in the same boat as the people no longer happy with Midwest. They owe us 10 replacements and we have been waiting for a while. Today we were basically told we'd have to keep waiting. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well, I spoke w/Jackie and she said she would work on getting me 1-2 locations per week. I'm ok with this so long as she can come through. I understand how it is buying a new business - I just bought one myself a few weeks ago - so I'm willing to cut her some slack. I'll reserve judgement for a few weeks as to whether we'll continue to use them. If we get the 1-2/week then I'll be happy. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kevin........these are replacements for 10 locations you obtained from them after they formed this new company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 No, from before...and that is why I'm willing to cut Jackie some slack. My thing is that I wanted to see *some* progress. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
