Hi
I've been operating a vending business (bulk candy and snack/soda routes) for the past year and have learned quite a bit about locations and locators in the vending world by locating my own machines as well as hiring professional locating companies to work for me. The "professionals" I've worked with have been both bad and good but always expensive and sometimes unresponsive. I appreciate integrity and good service in any business and practice those qualities with all my current vending customers. Believe me it has paid dividends for me. So, I've structured my vending locator service in the same way. Take a look at my web site www.yourvendinglocators.com and should you be in the need of a locator service in the future, please keep me in mind. I'll do my best to make your experience a great one!

Dan:

I can't seem to get the web site that you refer to. Can you see if anything is wrong on your side?

P.S. Keep away from Kick Start Locations. The guy, Robert Neil Patterson ll, is very self-centered and many of his Blogs are designed by him and answered by him. He is quite dishonest with me. I paid him $279.96 for 4 UTurn locations and as of this date, Monday, June 23, 2009, I only have 1 location in operation. 3 locations did not work. Out of this 3 only 1 kicked me out within a few weeks because the internal coffee vendor felt that I was competing with his service. Consequently, I was asked to pick-up my machine. The other 2 locations turned down the offer. Hence, I now have only 1 location that is working. The contract was dated April 4, 2009, and as of today, he has not replaced the 3 negative locations. Yet, his business is called Kick Start Locatios. He also goes onto another vending forum, "Vend123" and clearly indicates to an actual vendor that he will give a location to him "on the house". If favoratism exist on the open market, please let everybody know about this. This action appears very unprofessional, yet he goes on as though other vendors are unimportant. He does not answer his emails nor the telephone messages left on his answering machine. I am now short $209.97 without an answer.
