antoniocinisi Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 each head = $5.00 or less5-10 bucks a month is low.dont pull the machine untill you have a potential better location otherwise it`ll make 0 in your garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPVendCo. Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 5-10 bucks a month is low.dont pull the machine untill you have a potential better location otherwise it`ll make 0 in your garage. I agree, and I disagree. a machine that is not moving any product, is probably going to cost you money in the long run, with blown up pmm's or hard HT's, or whatever. the locations I have that are poor performers, i keep very little product in.....

antoniocinisi Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 of course without any other details it`s hard telling what would be the best suggestion.keeping the machine low on candy is a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Vending Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's a tough call; $5-10/ mo is a dud. For me it is too un-productive to leave duds in the field; too depressing to service; I change the service interval to 60-70 days and the candy goes stale; I change the candy and lose money even more. Its a bad investment IMO; take your lumps, pull it and find a better loc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxer518 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Do what I do and most other vendors, replace it with product that will not go stale, or if it does its a few years. I put runts, rascals, bones, tab gum, skittles, and other hard candies in machines that do not perform very well. I change the service cycle to 100 days. This is all dependent on your supply of machines, like me for example I have a ton of spare machines so I figure it will make me more placed than sitting in the warehouse. Now if you are all out of machines then hit the pavement and find something that will potentially do much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If from Sams do you have to pay shipping since they do not carry it at Sams club? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavity Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Most of those products include free shipping from Sam's. Check out their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If from Sams do you have to pay shipping since they do not carry it at Sams club? Steve I just bought a box of the Rascals. (Need to ask the front desk if they can get the Runts for me.) Anyway I bought it online at the Sam's Club website, and it was shipped to my house (ok, apartment,) and the shipping was included. But the shipping took a little while. This is the only thing I have had them ship to me, so I can't say if anything else is going to cost for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
