Lake Cities Vending Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I use sheridan pink ribbon boxes. I started with the acrylic boxes but now I'm buying the cardboard boxes because of costs. I have about 100 of each. The acrylic boxes look nice when new but they really show up dirt and fall apart, Crack and break easily. They require a lot of cleaning. They get knocked off counter and then they are usually trash. The cardboard show the message a little better. As far as shrinkage, I haven't looked at that in a while. You have to remember you only have around $7.00 in a box of 100. One month you might only have 10 or 12 dollars. The next month it might be 25 or 30. I've pulled as much as $89.00 out of one. I probably have 10 or 12 I have to fill every week. Last I figured my average profit was $14.75. I probably should pull a few of the slower locations to bring that up.

Lake Cities Vending Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 As far as hiring a locator, you should have your locator and box money back in 1 or 2 pulls of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradMillner46 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Oh my LORD!!! That's impressive Lake Cities Vending. You said your average profit is about $14.75, so is that $14.75 average net profit per box per month?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Cities Vending Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I gotta back up on that. That was just one Saturday. I looked at another and it was $10.45. I use my spread sheet sheet everytime I run the boxes to see how I did for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdvend Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Most places are pretty honest, but I have noticed Chinese restaurants are bad. I am not sure why that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
