ALL COMPANIES GET COMPLAINTS, BUT HOW THE COMPANY HANDLES THOSE COMPLAINTS, SEPARATES GOOD BUSINESSES FROM BAD BUSINESSES.

By Ed Magedson - Founder, RipOff Report

1.800.VENDING, Inc. approached Rip-Off Report last month with the express purpose of resolving any concerns posted on Rip-off Report. 1.800.VENDING noticed that the reports seemed to be fabricated by competitors who were posing as customers. After a recent mailing to the small handful of people who filed a Rip-off Report, Rip-off Report discovered that 1.800.VENDING was indeed a target of jealous competitors attempting to slander their good name by filing bogus reports. 1.800.VENDING is sincere in their commitment to remedy any and all customer concerns and/or misconceptions. Company executives stated to Rip-off Report that 1.800.VENDING has dedicated a portion of their coaching & customer service team to work exclusively on making improvements in the customer service arena.

As evidence of their commitment, 1.800.VENDING employs a seasoned, full-time coaching/support staff to do nothing but help their Distributors succeed. Couple this with the company's Technical Service Department, On-line Support Center & the vending industry's most comprehensive route management software and you have a training & support program that no other vending company comes close to offering. Perhaps this is the reason why 1.800.VENDING has never had a single complaint with any governmental agency. This is remarkable considering the company has been in business for 10 years and has put thousands of people into their own vending business.

1.800.VENDING CONTINUES TO CLARIFY WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR CLIENTS

As the world leader in the vending machine industry, 1.800.VENDING manufactures their equipment under the strictest quality control supervision in a state-of-the-art facility. Their vending machines are equipped with the finest electronic components available. They are the only vending machine supplier with three warehouses (California, Utah & New Jersey) on both the East and West coasts to facilitate prompt delivery of their equipment.

1.800.VENDING provides everything needed to successfully establish, upgrade or expand a vending business. Their goal is to provide entrepreneurs with their own "up and running" business from day one. In other words, new Distributors don't have to waste time reinventing the wheel. They can assist everyone from the beginner to the seasoned operator with a successful vending business. We aren't just selling vending machines, states the company's Vice President of Operations. We're putting people into a vending business that they can successfully operate for years.

ANY BUSINESS THAT CAN ADMIT THEY MADE MISTAKES AND CORRECTS THOSE MISTAKES IS A BUSINESS YOU CAN TRUST AND WORTH DOING BUSINESS WITH

Over the past 10 years, 1.800.VENDING, Inc. has put more people into their own vending business than just about anyone, states the company President. And although we aren't perfect, we certainly strive to be. As far as I can tell, no other vending machine company has done what 1.800.VENDING has done he adds. As one of the largest, multi-million dollar vending suppliers in the United States, 1.800.VENDING executives analyzed all the vending machines on the market and then spent thousands of hours to introduce a machine that they feel surpasses every other vending machine on the market.

Recently, 1.800.VENDING introduced an industry changing Modular Vending System that takes advantage of the latest technology. The new exclusive vending machine system allows owners to add a coffee module and/or a meal module. 1.800.VENDING's revolutionary Modular Vending System provides many benefits that traditional snack vending machines or soda vending machines can't compete with. The company already revolutionized the industry with the Refreshment Center which offers snacks, healthy foods, sodas, waters, sports drinks, energy drinks and juices all in one machine. Now 1.800.VENDING has taken things to the next level, giving vending machine owners the flexibility to grow at their own pace. The exclusive Modular Vending System allows owner/operators to add satellite vendors to a Refreshment Center to meet customer demand, including the CoffeeShoppe and MealTime satellite vendors.

Because of our investigation and the sincere efforts put forth by 1.800.VENDING, Inc., Rip-off Report is is confident in giving 1.800.VENDING a positive rating. All in all, the company implemented strategic changes to its Customer Service Department and reached its goal of achieving total customer satisfaction through excellent service. This was made possible by a completely honest approach to corporate introspection and a commitment to taking good care of their customers. Further, because we determined that ALL the reports found on Rip-off Report against 1.800.VENDING, Inc. were falsified, there was no real need for them to make any significant changes to their system, yet they took the extra steps of examining their practices, looking for ways to improve and joining the Corporate Advocacy Program to prove their commitment to excellence.

1.800.VENDING, INC. CONTINUES TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND BY MAINTAINING THEIR QUALITY ASSURANCE.

1.800.VENDING, Inc. initiates a proactive customer support model. From the minute they make their initial investment, new Distributors are contacted regarding their new vending business. They are immediately given tracking numbers on their equipment so they know when their machines will be delivered. Next, they receive their username & password and a link to 1.800.VENDING's On-line Support Center where they can find everything they need to operate their new vending business at the click of a mouse: comprehensive location training, comprehensive Distributor training manual, tracking forms, product selection & pricing, etc. Each distributor also receives 1.800.VENDING's route management software.

All new 1.800.VENDING Distributors also have total access to the company's full-time support staff via a special toll-free number. They are contacted and introduced to their experienced, personal coach who serves as a mentor to walk them through every aspect of launching & maintaining their new vending business. Their coach is available five days a week for questions, concerns, instructions or ideas.

RESULTS OF MAILING TO ALL THOSE WHO FILED A RIP-OFF REPORT

As a part of the Corporate Advocacy Program - Rip-off Report sent an email to the few individuals who filed a Report on 1.800.VENDING and below are the results.

As stated above, 1.800.VENDING noticed that the reports appeared to be fabricated by competitors who were posing as customers. After analyzing the reports that were filed, we could see the complaints were all filed by the same person. It became apparent to Rip-off Report that 1.800.VENDING was indeed the target of jealous competitors attempting to slander their good name by filing bogus reports. The accusations and slander/libel are unsubstantiated and are grounds for legal action against those who filed the bogus reports.

The reports mentioned a regulatory settlement from several years ago against a different company that sold a completely different product line. It was believed by government regulators that this company fell under the classification of a franchise. The owners never operated it as a franchise and disagreed with this opinion. However, they complied with the requirements and paid the required fine without any court findings of wrongdoing or admission of a law violation, and the matter was resolved. Note: On April 6, 2006, government regulators publicly announced their proposal that business opportunity companies would no longer fall under the requirements of this franchise rule due to the burden imposed on business opportunity sellers. In other words, what once may have looked like a breach of franchise regulations is no longer any kind of breach, as the government realized that it was unfair and changed the rule, in part because that other company aided in changing the law.

Rip-off Report feels the owners of 1.800.VENDING, Inc. have not only gained invaluable insight and experience through this process, but have given potential investors a benchmark to work from by not doing business with any vending company who has not gone through this kind of painstaking scrutiny.

1.800.VENDING shows leadership by joining the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program.

Keep in mind, 1.800.VENDING, Inc. has worked with thousands of Distributors. What really is amazing is that despite Rip-off Report appearing on most search engines right below 1.800.VENDING, the few complaints have been determined to be bogus. Even with thousands of Distributors that 1.800.VENDING has put into business over the past 10 years, not one negative report is legitimate. From our perspective, it is incredibly unusual for a company with no legitimate complaints to request on their own to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. 1.800.VENDING provides a leadership model for other companies in the same industry who truly care about their Distributors' success.
