Card Reader Service Horrible/ Machine Great

I would purchase another machine in a heart beat and it has been working great! The card read do not purchase. Purchase from another vendor that is not with Cantalope or Greenlite. Took over a month and a half to get it going and lost sales. One gets the run around trying to setup the readers. Tried to setup readers with other banks to by pass Greenlite and this was not allowed with the reader.

Best combination machine for our needs

We did a ton of research and landed on this Selectivend Advantage Plus unit. It's the perfect size and saves us a ton of space over two separate machines. Opted for the cash only version but might upgrade to a credit card reader down the road. Delivery went smooth and it we were able to get up and running pretty quickly.

Hi Pritesh, we appreciate you taking time to submit a review. The Advantage Plus Combo Vending Machine is a very popular machine as it allows you to offer drinks and snacks from one machine and not take up so much space, compared to two separate machines as you pointed out. It also allows you to vend a wide variety of cans and bottles that come in different shapes and sizes, such as energy drinks or even some of the healthy drinks that come in square shaped containers. Your business is greatly appreciated and we Thank You for choosing Sam's Club and Selectivend for your vending needs. We have partnered with Sam's Club for over 30 years to provide quality vending solutions to their members, and we look forward to being of service to you for years to come as well.

Broke within the 1st month we had it.

We purchased this vending machine brand new $5,000 from Sam's - within the first month that we bought it the machine stopped cooling our drinks. The machine showed that it was 90 degrees where the soda's were being stored. I called customer service and they did trouble shoot the machine with me and that did not work. So they sent me a part out to replace the compressor or whatever cools the machine. The machine worked for about 2 weeks and then stopped cooling again. I called customer servicer AGAIN and they sent out a repair man to fix the machine. He said the part that was sent out was a used part and that it was defective. He repaired the part and got it to work. About 3 days later the vending machine stopped working/cooling again. It has been almost 2 months now that we have not been able to sale drinks because the vending machine does not cool. We have called customer service almost daily to get someone to repair it and to check on getting a new part. The repair man showed up today and is working to replacing the defective part - however he pointed out to us the part that was shipped was once again a "Used Part" - so issues may arise again. Uggggh. Buyers remose big time! Do not purchase this machine.

Great machine

This is the second machine of the same type I have purchased. What I like most is the sensors that sense when a product drops. This feature alone sets them apart from competitors, and reduces the refunds I have to pay out. I have had No problems with service.

We appreciate your review and glad the features made you decide to get a second machine as well. Our iVend infrared delivery sensors make a big difference when customers are able to get the snack or drink product they paid for, or get credit to make another selection if their product doesn't successfully dispense. Please be sure to call us at 800-323-8793 if we can ever help you with anything. Thank you.

Looks good but doesn't work

I ordered the machine in October and just got it last week. However the real issue is that it will except coins but not bills or the card. I like how the instructions made everything easy to figure out but the bill reader not working. Also the cash box is stuck and will not come off.

We trust this was figured out and the machine has been working properly, but ask that you please call us at 800-323-8793 if you continue to need help with anything related to your machine. Thank you.

Great machine and customer service

We have had two machines for 6 months now. If we ever had any questions, they were quick to help us. Participated in the rebate program and submitted our receipts on time and now waiting on the checks to arrive! Great incentive to purchase this machine and get paid back 100% for some of the items that you are putting into the machine. Selectivend is wonderful to work with!!

We're always happy to help. Thank you for posting your original review and for taking advantage of the snack and drink product rebate. It truly does cover a huge portion of the machine cost. Thanks again, and please call us at 800-323-8793 if we can ever help you. Thank you.

Great size

This came quicker than stated when I ordered. Works great. Card reader works great. It was a little challenging to set it all up, but we got it done and our employees are happy. The shipper did not put it in place or get it off the truck. That was disappointing. Luckily we had a forklift and an employee handy to help get it off the truck.

Great Machine! Great Rebate Program!

I ordered this machine because of the rebate program. It was delivered much sooner than anticipated. The machine was fairly simple to set up. I needed a little help. So far, so good! I saved my receipts for my inventory for the first 6 months and it was very simple to submit them. I recommend this one!

Haybar25, we're glad you appreciated the snack and drink rebate program. It's truly a great way to get a lot of product for free after rebate. It helps to pay towards a large portion of your machine. While time has gone by since you originally purchased your Advantage Plus Combo Vending Machine, we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to post your review from then. Call us at 800-323-8793 if we can ever be of assistance. We're here to help. Thank you.

DO NOT PURCHASE WITH CARD READER

Absolutely terrible purchase. It has been over a month and haven't been able to set up the card reader. The machine did not ship with instructions for activating the card reader. I've sent a dozen emails and filled out paper work several times. I have set up 3 separate accounts and still no body has been able to link my device to my account. Everything is through phone trees and e-mail forms. None of these have been helpful and the customer support people they set you up with when you make and account are just sales reps and don't help with technical issues. The will instruct you to send yet another email to an @activation email account. Absolute shambles of a company.

We truly apologize for the experience you encountered. It's certainly not reflective of our historical customer service that spans over 90 years. Our card reader partner had EMV regulation changes that resulted in an extended period of high call and email volume to our customer support team. If you are in need of any help please call us at 800-323-8793 so we can ensure everything with your card reader is now working as it should be. Thank you.

Good with Reservations

So the complaints about the cashless device and billing, etc. are well deserved. But here's the thing -- Selectivend has nothing to do with the cashless device. I've had countless issues with one of the cashless providers (Cantaloupe) for the last 8 years. But this is a SEPERATE issue from the machine itself. The machine itself is VERY reliable once you get it going (see below). I've used them exclusively for my combo machines for over 8 years. I own 20 of them. They are also pretty easy to work on if anything goes wrong. Yes, "Customer Service" (again, not Selectivend, but Vendnet USA) takes, generally, a LONG time to get to if you call (be prepared to wait around 45min. ). But they are VERY helpful once you get on the phone with them. So why only 3 Stars? The reason I do not give them more stars is because Selectivend (and the manufacuturer, Wittern) need to improve in these areas: 1.) I have yet to receive a single invoice for any of the 20 mahcines I've purchased through Selectivend. Not one. And no, they did not go to my "junk" box -- I've checked. This is entirely unacceptable and unprofessional. 2.) I'd say almost every machine I've gotten from Selectivend has had at least one issue upon delivery (usually minor) that needed to be fixed. So make sure everything works and everything vends, etc upon setup. Quality control is TERRIBLE in my opinion. But once everything is straightened out I've had reliable service with very few issues with these machines. 3) I've had Selectivend CANCEL orders for machines and never tell me. Insane but true. I've brought these issues to their attention. Nothing has changed to my knowledge or experience. So I would purchase this model from Selectivend (or their drink machines, etc), just make sure you understand that cashless is a separate issue and make certain all functions of the machine work properly upon delivery. And forget about getting an invoice for the machine, lol.

Hi Blair, we appreciate you taking time to post your review. Thank you for choosing Selectivend and Sam's Club for your vending machine needs. Your years of partnership are greatly valued. We apologize if you purchased with a credit card for some of your earlier orders from 2018-2020 and not provided an invoice. For financed orders, the finance company is always able to provide copies of documentation. If you're still financing the machine from your last purchase in 2023 we can certainly help with payment confirmations. The finance company is able to provide a copy of the original purchase agreement and an outline of your payments applied throughout the term. For financed orders that have been paid off, they can still provide details depending on the amount of time since contract disposition. Your feedback is truly appreciated. Thank you.
