Priority placement AKA Vending Dreams takes money and runs. Ripoff and unavailable.
Jim Ellis will sell you on empty contracts and promises. DO NOT USE.
Do your homework before hiring a vending location company. Most companies are new and that is because the same cruel people ripping you off are behind them.
They start a company rip you off and many others and then close and start a new one.
I bought my machines from multivend/vendstar. They delivered on EVERY SINGLE PROMISE. Multivend/vendstar are EXCELLENT and trustworthy.
HOWEVER, JIM ELLIS AND PRIORITY PLACEMENT AKA VENDING DREAMS will take your money and you will never hear from them again.
Here is what happened to me.
I called from an ad in the newspaper referring to a candy route. It was placed by vendstar/mulitvend. I thought it was a route someone already owned and i was taking it over. It was actually an ad to sell machines 32 of them for 10000.
Then a company could be hired to put the machines in businesses. If the machines did poorly they would move them out and relocate them. If I did not make my money back in 2yrs the company (Priority placement) would give me a check for the difference. Sounds good right? Wrong.
After I paid my deposit 700 dollars I never heard from them. I left messages and nobody returned my calls. JIM ELLIS the fool who sold me on the guaruntees (spelling) was no where to be found. FINALLY a good hearted person Sherrie I talked to (only because someone gave me her HOME phone number) told me the company was going under and that she was laid off and was helping people with machines to be located out of the kindness of her heart.
She put me in touch with a guy Bill Poses. He was a crazy ex marine from the Bronx NY and did finally locate my machines for the balance due 925 dollars. What ever happened to that money ill never know.
So now I have my machines in place. 3 already came out and I had to locate them myself. My 2yr contract guaruntee is null and void as no company is around to honor it. If the locations do bad or fall out I will have to locate them myself (why did I pay this company they did NOTHING).
So if you decide to go into the vending business (it is worth it if you know what your getting into) MAKE SURE you do your homework on the location company if you hire one.
Vendstar/Multivend has an excellent machine and fill every promise. Talk to steve rosenberg. He is an excellent salesman.
Stay clear of jim ellis or a guy named chris, paul, or john. They will take your money and never call you again.
Also in response to hiring a locating company. Mmake sure you check how long they are in business, who works for them, how many phone numbers they have (if you talk to someone on a cell phone it is trouble). Make sure you get an operator and not the "ceo" of the company on the first ring. That should be a red flag. Do your homework before hiring a locating company.
