    Happy Easter! You are correct about the bottlers. We have a gas station in town here & the lady who owns it can't get the bottlers to deliver to her. She sells a lot of pop too. You almost have to have a chain of stores in order to move the volume that they require.
    I also noticed the cranberry Ginger Ale. I really like that flavor. I don't sell it, but I drink it.

      Thanks. I put the Cranberry Ginger Ale in my mystery selection and it has been reported to me that people like getting it.

    I do my hauls at Dollar General and Family Dollar. They usually have 3/10 or 3/11. I wait to do it on Saturdays when they offer $5 off when your purchase is above $25. I average out around 23 cents a can.

      Good suggestion. I go to Dollar General sometimes...but they usually don't have a big variety of flavors near me. I didn't know they offer $5 off of $25. Is that every Saturday?

      @@HappyVending yes every Saturday. Download the DG app. They use digital coupons and you can add it on there and at the register you just enter your phone number and it applies the coupon.

      Ok..thanks. I do have apps for the stores that I shop at and they have the ads and coupons in those apps. I just brought the print ads because I thought it would be easier to see on the cideo.

    Hey question, where is your machine located, and where would you recommend me to place my machine, paying little to nothing to secure the spot. But receiving high profits at the same time. I’m trying to buy a $500 drinks machine off of offerup but I’m stuck on where I’d place it

    • @HappyVending
      @HappyVending  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My machines are located in a school. If you are only paying 500 for a machine, it probably isn't very new and many office buildings or car dealerships won't be interested in it. You would need to find a factory or auto shop to put it in. Most "high profit" locations probably already have machines and if they don't, they will probably want some type of comission. The best way to find locations is to hit the street and start asking places if they are interested in having a vending machine for their employees...or start calling places.

    What do you do for water? What waters will vend properly in a 501e. Looking at maybe finding 16.9s of aqufina but unsure if they are good.

    • @HappyVending
      @HappyVending  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I no longer buy the 16.9 oz Aquafina anymore because the bottles are too thin and always jam. I do have luck vending Dasani and Deer Park 16.9 oz bottles, but I can not stack them high.

      @@rigobertodimas8014 Do you have a can shim in place? You should have the cam setting in the 1 position...if it's the brown cams. The switches could be bad if the motor doesn't stop at the end of a vend cycle or it doesn't start. If you think the switch might be a problem, try swapping it with a column that is working correctly.

    Cans from Coke & Pepsi is approaching .50 per can....even though the driver can drop of a 50 cases skid in 4 minutes....at the stores they spend hours making those elaborate displays. Makes NO sense
