Beer980 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Nope but we would be interested in you being a tester for the group. The web site seems ok with the ay the present the info. I submitted a question to them to see how long it takes to get an answer back. Give them a try and fill out the new locator form in the review section of the results.

Larman Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Just got off the phone with them. I got a price of $35 per location. He said he could have the locations by friday. He does offer guarantee but the location costs are higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapreachaman Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 are tehy telemarketers or do they come to you and locate in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I also was able to find out that they will locate a sticker machine for $40 and a 5 way rack for $60. So they may be on to something if they do well for you two and get a good review in the review section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsar66 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hmmmm.. I was going to start with one counter-top snack location from them, but now I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larman Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 I just ordered three locations and sent them 1/2 of there payment. How it works with them is no money upfront, 1/2 when they get the locations and the other 1/2 when machines are placed. I should be getting my list of locations within the hour. I will let everyone know how it goes. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larman Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Interesting developement. I get an email from them and they tell me they have my locations and to send 1/2 of the money and as soon as payment is received they will send my my locations. I send them the money. I get an email back from them telling me that the locations will be mailed to me at 12 midnight. I find it interesting that if the did indeed have the locations why wait to 12am to send the out? I called him and got his voice mail, surprise surprise. I will update as more info becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePlate Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Couple comments, because I use 1st Class quite a bit. Responding to comments on the other forum, they have gone after apartment complexs laundry and community rooms. While I have found some of them good, others have been a little scarey. I responded to them and asked for a replacement. Once they found a Chinese restaurant out of my targeted area. I decided to let it ride because it was a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant does about $30 a month, I service it every 60 days. Not bad for an extra 20 minute drive. Next about the comments here. After they "find" the location you pay 1/2. It is sometimes 24hours or so before they release the locations. From my understanding, Kevin confirms the location his team found. He then releases them. The first time I used him I told him he was not clear about that, but definately worth waiting for him to confirm locations. Next, I sense their bandwith is not huge. I've always been nervous about them "catching fire" on Vendiscuss - to me, it could bottleneck them. Lastly, Kevin has always been fair to me. With any locator, a strong 2 way communication is key. If there is an issue, email him ASAP. He sometimes answers immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePlate Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 are tehy telemarketers or do they come to you and locate in person?telemarketers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larman Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I recieved my locations all restaurants. Not one of them in any of the towns I requested. I gave them a list of 15 towns or so, they are a good hour a way from me going to see if I can get some more local to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larman Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just a quick update. Now that I have the locations they will make an appointment with the locations and then I will bring in the machines. Much like what Midwest does. I like this approach much better than just bringing in the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer980 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Are these triples or doubles you ordered? So they gave you locations 60 miles from where your target was? Did you give them zip codes too or just a list of cities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
