Ethical Locators

[Shaner]

Hi Folks,

I am new to this forum and vending.  Question-I have 5 combo machines and Ethical locators is sending me a contract to locate them.  I received a $20 discount for being a member here.  I also can receive a discount if I pay all upfront.  Everything I have read on Locators has told me not to do this.  Has anyone experienced these types of terms with Ethical or any other locating service?

Thanks for any replies,

Shane

Shane,

First, I would advise you to look at all of the locator reviews on this forum. Midwest and Kickstart seem to get the highest ratings.

I personally use Midwest as they will replace any location that does less than $15/mo. No other locators mentioned on this board do that.

Some will relocate a % (e.g., Kickstart will relocate up to 30%) and others will relocate for a reduced rate.

As far as Midwest goes, I paid them 50% upfront and 50% once they had the locations for me.

Thanks Kevin,

I'll do some more reading. I have combo machines and Steve had recommended Ethical. For some reason I was under the impression that Kickstart and Midwest specialized in bulk machines. My goof.

No prob. I *think* Kickstart does only do bulk...but Midwest does full line.

I would give Midwest a call and see what type of deal they can give you.

Also, if you do that, could you please post it here so others will know? I've only used them so far for bulk.

Thanks!

Yes, Midwest does offer full line placements. Here is a link to their pricing...
