39 month lease on pop machine - tanTALK

ewtan · 12-17-2001, 05:32 PM

Has anyone bought these candy, pop machine combo's. They instantly draw from your checking account, and at the end of the 39 month lease you need to let them know that you want to buy the machines, otherwise they keep taking out of your checking account month after month, and then insist on a payoff payment even if you overlooked the 39 month like I did. These people don't send reminder cards, and everyone of the personal has a different story when you call.

Call me stupid, but why would you lease a candy/pop machine anyways?
I rent a large cooler from Snapple for $5.00 a month. No contract!!!!!!!! I carry Snapple, power drinks, soda, anything I want. I do have some candy, and snacks, but not to much. I think most of us pay out for alot of things, including bottled water. I just can't see paying someone alot of money for a candy/pop machine.

I guess I really didn't answer your question, sorry...........

Guess what I did. We sell lots of soda. When you buy the machine the cost of the pop is 50% less or more, plus you can choose what you want in them. In any case the lease company was my problem, not the machine.

Ha! Calling it pop puts you in the north somewhere, ha ha. Down here in the south everything is called "Coke"!

LOL Tamar.

Yes!!

it is like 'what kind of coke do you want?' 'Oh, I'll take a Dr. Pepper!'

(I grew up in the south) People here in Colorado look at me so strange when I call 'pop' coke!

If I am not mistaken, you can buy this type of machine at Sams Wholesale for a lot less than these people that lease them out. I know you can get the water tanks at walmart for about 150.00 and that beats paying out 15.00 month rental.
In my salon I have a snack box that they service every two weeks, it is on the honor system and I am not responsible for anything. I have a Coke "pop" machine outside with Coke products and bottled water. Free machine, pay for drinks and stock myself for a small profit. Less hassel

We purchased our machines from Sam's. They are very good in quality and easy to maintain. We purchase whatever we want to put in them. We don't have to carry a certain brand. We have found that a few our local bottling companies would deliver but if you have a Costco or Sam's the product is much more reasonable. Sam's will deliver your product if it is over $500.00. Our's usually is, we purchase our cleaners in bulk there as well as our towels and vending goodies.

Good Luck on your hunt!
