Hurley & tubz vending

Post by Joycey »

Hi,

I am very very new to vending and it is something that I would very much like to get involved with.

From conducting my own basic research it appears that Hurley use different towers to tubz vending.

Pricing and product do seem fairly similiar and I note they both offer package deals and siting services etc.

Most of the tubz vending & Hurley related discussions seem to be quite dated on here so I was just wondering if anyone has dealt with either or both recently and had any advice for me.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Cheers.

Agreed, try both see which works. I don't like tubz vending but that's from previous experiences many years ago lol

See who offers you best deal is usually a good starter :D

Better to by 2nd hand towers they are all interchangeable and you will save a fortune.

If I bought second hand ones, am I likely to then be up against them, as opposed to working with them?

I did read some bad stories on here of tubz vending forcing vendors out of places.

Also, not sure how it works with the sticker promotions etc if I bought second hand ones.

I have been dealing with tubz vending for five years, they are a good company to deal with, never had any issues, deliver promptly and are very helpful.
Sure many on this forum will slate tubz vending for various reasons however, I have also been a customer in the past with Hurleys and you can take it from me, tubz vending is much, much better.
Look at the marketing of their products, looks miles better IMO

In this life you get what you pay for.

I use Hurleys. But no you wouldnt be up against tubz vending if you bought 2nd hand machines. If they are targeting your specifically then yes they will try and get you kicked out. But they wont succeed most of the time and you have to weigh up the costs between paying what they would charge you for a franchise and buying 2nd hand. You could probably buy and site at least twice as many machines compared with buying a franchise. But hey its your money go for what you are comfortable with.

Like I say ‘you get what you pay for’.

tubz vending will be around in ten years, look at their operation! Doubt Hurleys will!

Us, we are siting in 25 sites starting next week, the vast majority courtesy of tubz vending.

And, before the keyboards twitch, no we shall not be siting alongside other machines, all new sites!

So a big thank you to tubz vending.

Cheers, happy munching

Thats a very libelous thing to say about Hurleys without substantiating it Pablo. Ive been buying from them for 12 years now without issues. Do you base that on anything?

My understanding is that one of the two have been bankrupt a couple of times in the past.

I wondered how long it would take you Andy!

If anyone dare say anything against Hurleys it is like a red flag to a bull.

I doubt I have said anything against Hurleys to which they can take action, of course if they wish to do so they may.

Perhaps they will return the brand new machine they owe me.....

I of course could say more, but I guess that is what you want....

Nah, not going to happen..... everything can be taken as IMO just as you do!

tubz vending are easier to deal with.

Happy munching Andy
