Recently I began the exciting business of vending. After my experience I am still excited about vending but strongly advise all consumers to do COMPLETE RESEARCH into their locating company.
The story below is summarized as a group of locating companies in bed with each trying to con customers by putting down competitors other than theirselves. Do your research, check out the BBB/FTC!
I normally don't frequent this site but was asked to as a favor since it has affected another legitiment company. This company, which asks their name be kept out since they don't practice "bad mouthing" initially lost my business because of negative information relayed by the following companies, which turned out to all have a bad BBB record:
Advanced Placement Services - Jay Baird
Precision Marketing - Dave Lasonde
June Placement - Tim Ricci (to be honest Tim blasted every other locating company as well)
A1 Locating - Stan Lewis
Every one of these companies in unison relayed negative information about the same company I was talking to. I finally went with APC for 20 machines, June Placement for 20 and A1 for the final 15. GUESS WHAT?! They where the theives!!!
A1 doesn't return my calls, APC keeps promising a locator is going to show (I gave up after 7 weeks) and Precision hangs up the phone on me now since I'm "too impatient."
The bottom line is this, the so called "bad locating company" these other crooks tried to steer me away from took care of my 55 machines and the results where great, not perfect but an honest job was done. This company also has a good BBB rating and has excellent references.
