Yes, financing is available. PayPal is our primary form of payment and they offer financing with their “PayPal Credit” program. This program lends you money with no down-payments and no interest for six months. We also finance with Direct Capital. You can apply for Direct Capital straight from our website by clicking on the finance tab, or you can apply for PayPal Credit when checking out through PayPal on our website. There are also a few more financing companies we recommend depending on your situation. Give us a call and we can help you find a great financing option.

As with every business, the number one thing which will make you or break you is location. There are a lot of variables which will factor into profitability. If you visit our blog, you can find many great tips to help you succeed in your vending machine business. However, as “Vending Distributors”, we don’t project profit margins. You will have to call the expensive vending franchises to get this information.

All the machines we sell come right to your doorstep, but the carrier will NOT bring it inside or install it for you. If you want the machine brought inside the building, we can offer an inside delivery for an extra charge. We also have an option for bringing the machine inside the building, positioning it and unpacking it. That is a White Glove delivery and it would be an additional cost as well.  We can walk you through the set-up process over the phone or we can set your prices and configure the settings before we ship it out if you ask us.

All of the refurbished machines and most of the new machines will ship out within 1-2 business days. Some may occasionally take up to 2 weeks if they need to be special ordered.  Then it takes the shipping carrier approximately 3-5 business days to deliver the machine depending on where you live. If you need a rush on the order, we will do our best to accommodate your request. Give us a call and we can give you a more specific answer based on your need.

We offer a lifetime of free tech support on every vending machine we sell. Whether you’ve had your machine for a day or 10 years, we will help you troubleshoot your machine over the phone and if you need parts you can buy them from us too. This is a service that many other companies charge for and we offer it for FREE.

We accept all major credit cards and PayPal over our secure website. If you prefer to do a purchase order and send a check in the mail, we accept that too, but it will delay the shipping process. We can also accept an e-check payment, or if you are local, we do accept the green stuff too.

Yes, if you want to drive to our warehouse in Colorado Springs, you can pick up the machine here. We will offer you a discount for arranging your own shipping or picking it up on site. You could save approximately $200.

We pride ourselves in getting our customers the biggest bang for their buck. Many of our competitors offer long, complicated warranties. They may provide accounting forms or teach classes. They may provide locations for the machines. All these things make the cost of the machines go up considerably. We specialize in offering quality machines at affordable prices without all the gimmicks. We also offer a great warranty and a lifetime of free tech support. We offer the same machines they do but at a much better price. Our machines are capable of receiving credit cards, tracking inventory, etc. Just like theirs!

Many of the machines we carry are the exact same machines that other distributors are selling but ours will be less than half of the cost of theirs. Let us prove to you that a $3,000 vending machine will make you just as much money as a $9,000 vending machine, but it will be paid off 3 times faster.

No, we do not find locations for vending machines. We are strictly a vending machine distributor. Our specialty is selling high quality vending machines to our customers at affordable prices. We let other specialists focus on the locating part. We get you the best machine at an amazing price. It will ship to your door and we give you a lifetime of free tech support. You can do a Google search for ‘vending locators’ and call around to find the one who will serve you best.

Yes, if you find another company that is offering the same machine as us with the same warranty and service package at a better price, let us know and we will beat their price. We strive hard to provide the biggest bang for your buck and want to keep this reputation.

You can also learn about all the features of the machine, including the media link or entree unit if you choose to add those items to your machine.

We will ship it wherever you need it shipped in the Continental U.S., whether that is your house, storage unit, or direct to the location.  Our shipping will get it to the doorstep.  If you need it brought inside and set up there would be an extra charge for that.

Yes,  we now offer free storage for 1 month.  If you need longer than that, then we can accommodate your needs for a small additional fee.  Call us for more details.

Yes, if you buy the Healthy You (HY900) machine we will keep the healthy graphics on it. Same with the N2G4000 Naturals 2 Go or others.  We are not reproducing these graphics, but merely reselling them so there are no copyright infringements.  If you don’t like the graphics, we can certainly remove the wrap for you.

Yes, all of our new machines and most of the refurbished machines have the ability to track the inventory.  This is done through the credit card reader on-line tracking software which will track all cash as well as credit card sales.  Or you can also integrate into a 3rd party vending tracking software such as Cantaloupe or VendSoft.

To answer this question, you must ask yourself how much you can afford and what your comfort level is. For instance, if you buy a new vending machine, it will come with a one year warranty and a lifetime of Free Tech support. That gives you a greater period of time to figure things out with your machine. New machines typically last longer than refurbished machines.

If you purchase a pre-owned vending machine you can be assured it has been thoroughly checked out. We refurbish these machines in our shop. All our refurbished machines receive a 34 point inspection where we test the cooling unit, money units, circuit boards, wires, all the motors, locks, latches, LED screens, and much more. These refurbished machines also come with a lifetime of free tech support and a 3 month warranty. Many of our refurbished machines will actually be new but will have a minor blemish or scratch which is why we classify them as refurbished. If you want specific information on your refurbished machine before you buy it, you can contact us and we’d be happy to send you photos or tell you how much use it has had.

All of our new machines come with a one year warranty which covers all parts of the machine. All of our pre-owned or refurbished machines come with a 3 month warranty from the time you receive the machine. Best of all, when you buy from The Discount Vending Store, you get a lifetime of technical support for your machines. We also have a large inventory of parts which are available, should you need them. Vandalism is not covered by our warranty, unfortunately.

There is no one perfect vending machine. It really comes down to what your customers are asking for. Many locations want healthy snacks while others want all soda. Some businesses want the machine to have a credit card reader while others are fine with all cash but want it to vend deli items. The vending machines we sell have many different features and no one machine has it all. Since we are always buying and selling machines, our inventory changes daily. Feel free to call or email us describing your needs and situation. We will be happy to help you make the best purchase with our current inventory. Don’t get sucked into the idea that there is a one-size-fits-all situation in vending because that is simply not true.

We will take care of you all the way through. Unfortunately this does happen from time to time and there’s not a lot we can do to prevent it. We do package our machines with Styrofoam and double-walled cardboard to prevent damage but accidents will still happen. Just let us know the damages as soon as possible and we will coordinate with the shipping carrier and either refund your money or provide a replacement machine or parts as needed.

Yes! There are too many parts to list them all on our website or in this little response. Feel free to email us about the specific parts that you may be in need of. If we have them or can get them, we will create a custom order for you.

Yes, we value your business and know that you want the best deal possible. If you buy more than one machine, we can offer you a discount on the machines. The more you buy, the greater the discount we can offer as well.

Absolutely! Operating a vending machine business is something we know a lot about. We started out in 2007 by purchasing used vending routes and we have slowly built up from there. At The Discount Vending Store, we understand all the facets of the vending machine business. There are many other companies that can give you assistance as you build your business and we are familiar with quite a few. We have a vast array of knowledge and we are happy to share that knowledge with our loyal customers. Just email or call with your questions and we’ll be happy to help!
