Advance Placement Services

Kimberly of Kihei, HI October 25, 2009

I bought a vending machine that sells colas and candies, through a company (unitedvendingroup) through an ad in my local newspaper classified section. They claimed they had routes or placements to put the machine. So I purchased one, it took about 2 weeks for the machine to arrive in Hawaii, and upon receipt of the machine I was told to call the placement service. I paid $175 to advance placement services, and was supposed to pay another $175 upon placement of the machine.

Well when the machine came in, I called and spoke with Jennifer B., and she told me it was gonna take another week, because she had to find a place to put the machine. Now I was already furious, because I wanted to get things rolling as soon as the machine came in. So she told me she was gonna call the next day to see what she could come up with! She never did, because my sister eneded up yelling at her over the phone about what kind of business she was running. She didn't like the idea, so she refused to answer my calls, and said that she wouldn't place my machine.

So now I am stuck with this bill of $6,000 and what not dollars, and still have know place for me to put the machine. Meanwhile I have a contract with advance placement services, and Jennifer B.isn't answering my calls, telling her office assistant not to respond to my messages and so forth. So what do I do, if the company isn't fulfilling their part of the deal? whether or not I was rude to them for not placing my machine? I still have a legal binding contract, and she refuses to place my machine somewhere.

I bought the machine hoping I could make some money to help out with the bills. But instead, it put me more in the hole, and the contract I signed isn't being fulfilled by the companies part in whole. I just wonder how these people can do this? I wasn't the only one who bought a vending machine also, from what I was told by the vending machine company that they were sending 3 other machines out that day.

I still see the ad running till this day, that they have routes if you buy a vending machine. And the ones who are going to suffer is those who are desperate, like I was when I saw that ad. Thinking it was a good investment, and the company I was purschasing something from would help. But instead the kind of business ethics they have are completely illegal in my words.
