I spoke with ricky at A&A vending and he emailed me prices for 850 count gumball. it was 20.00 plus shipping. also gave me other prices on candies that were higher then my local bulk grocer. here is the prices from my grocery store hot tamales $1.61 lb, mike and ike $1.61 lb, skittles 1.88 lb, runts 1.61 lb. only starting with 3 machines and I was wondering if anybody knows of a cheaper place w/ shipping includes for small purchases at first?

with shipping its will be very unlikely to beat the prices from your local grocer, shipping in a lot of cases will be more than the product. your best bet would be if you have a Sams, Costco, or BJ's get a membership but if not then buying bulk from a grocery store may be the next best thing.

We asked our local grocery store if they would match Sams Club prices on Peanut M&Ms.  They were a little higher but I went with them.  I also approached them on a 7 way rack and they had me put one in.  A good deal for both of us.

Congrats on getting that rack in.

wow that's the way to do it, get cheap candy and a rack at the same time. Grocery stores with bulk candy have been great for me when it comes to special requests, since I can come get exactly what I will need for the machines every time I service it and never have to worry about waste.
