Re: 3663

Just to wrap up this thread, I have now completed my first order with 3663. Everything went smoothly, free delivery, and on the day they specified. Having recently bought a large number of Pringles from Bookers I used this as a small top up order. So they are fine with small orders (over £100, I spe...

Re: 3663

Pringles, £6.50 per packet of 12 (but get another packet of Original free) so £3.25 + vat per packet, quite a good deal.

My branch is based in Manchester.
Looks like they cover a fair bit of the U.K

3663

I recently noticed a post on the forum about a company called 3663. I have contacted them and am in the process of signing up as an account holder and doing my first transaction with them. Does anyone have any experiences with them? I'm thinking of customer service, prices, delivery, sell by dates, ...

Re: The 9 best-selling products

I only sell two branded products, Choc Mini Eggs and Skittles. That way my purchase costs stay at a reasonable level. The other best sellers are Fizzy Cola, Jelly Beans, Mini Pencils, Jelly Mix, Choc Raisins. When I attend a site over two or three vends I note if a particular product is not selling ...

Re: Commission payments

When I was new to vending I used to pay on site each time I vended and give a receipt. On 80% of my sites I still do this. The reason I changed this for some sites was that I lost a couple of sites who thought their "cut" was to small. So in some cases I ask them how often they want paying...

Re: stolen tower

Report it to the Police? I've had 3 stolen in the last year. The last one the guy was the owner of a hotel, he is still living in the area, people even know roughly the specific location. I reported this to the Police, so they could trace him. I waited 6 weeks to be told that they can't locate him. ...

Re: Chuppa Chups

I used to run three Chupa Chups machines. Like any sweet machine, place them where there is a large foot flow of children and it should do well. I had one at a swimming pool, initially it was doing £80-£100 of sales per month, so great! The problem is the machines get shaken by the kids and are pron...

Re: New to vending - seeking advice and guidance.

Having read through the entire thread I tend to agree that Eustace's approach is at variance with the established way that all other vendors do business, Re: Commission etc. Although I believe that many of the points raised against Eustace's business ideas are valid, specifically that he will miss o...
