Cancellation and return requests must be made in writing to sales@vendingconcepts.com. If a request is submitted, for an eligible order, within 24 hours of the order being placed, there are no fees or costs to cancel the order. Cancellation of an eligible order after 24 hours of it being placed is subject to a 25% restocking and reprocessing fee plus shipping charges. Although free to the buyer, there is a cost for shipping incurred by Vending Concepts. Upon returning the machine, the buyer is solely responsible for those costs. This includes both the cost to transport the machine to the buyer and the cost to transport the machine back to Vending Concepts. The total amount of all associated costs of transport is deducted from the reimbursement. Upon request, Vending Concepts will provide a quote from the carrier for the shipping cost from Vending Concepts to the buyer and from the buyer to Vending Concepts. When returning a machine, the buyer is responsible for properly securing the machine and packaging it in the same manner it was shipped from Vending Concepts. If the machine is sent back and arrives in a condition other than how it shipped from Vending Concepts, the buyer will be responsible for all repair costs to get the vending machine back in the original condition the machine was shipped in. The buyer will continue to be the owner of the machine until it is received in the “same condition” as was purchased by the buyer and a refund may be issued for the machine purchase less shipping, restocking fees, and deductions if any (due to returning it “not” in the same condition it was bought). All returns must be accompanied by an (RMA) Return of Merchandise Authorization and can only be obtained within 7 days of receiving the machine or 60 days from the original purchase date, whichever comes first. There will be no returns after 7 days of receiving the merchandise or 60 days from the original purchase date, whichever comes first. To obtain an RMA, please contact sales@vendingconcepts.com.

Shipping, fees and damage claims

Shipping

Vending Concepts ships vending machines to the lower 48 states unless otherwise agreed upon. Upon receipt of the machine, some assembly, adjustments, modifications and leveling may be required. Vending Concepts ships LTL Freight, curbside delivery to the ground, loading dock, or your forklift will take it off the truck. It is the responsibility of the buyer to move the machine from the delivery address’ curb to the equipment’s final destination. In most instances, the machine will need to be removed from the pallet prior to bringing through doorways due to the size restrictions. This is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Free shipping is only available to a commercial address, with a forklift or loading dock, to the lower 48 states. Remote, limited access locations, and additional services are subject to additional shipping charges, which must be collected prior to shipping. The prices we charge for our services and for our products are listed on the website. We reserve the right to change our prices for products displayed at any time and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur. Additional information about pricing and sales tax is available on the payment page. We may, without prior notice, change the services; stop providing the services or any features of the services we offer; or create limits for the services. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend access to the services without notice and liability for any reason, or for no reason.

Types of Shipping and Associated Fees

The standard options for different shipping requirements of vending machines are as follows: Commercial addresses without a lift gate: (no lift gate needed at a commercial address with a forklift or loading dock) Delivered onto customers loading dock or to a commercial address, not listed in the LIMITED ACCESS portion, whereas the buyer unloads the freight with a fork truck. Commercial address with lift gate needed: Curbside delivery to storefront, driveway or shipping and receiving area, that is not listed in the LIMITED ACCESS portion, the driver will NOT bring freight into the building. Limited access: A limited access location is an area where pickup or delivery is restricted or limited. A helpful way to describe what a carrier will consider a Limited Access or Non-Commercial location is to consider the location from the driver’s perspective. For example, if the driver has to go out of their normal route area, cannot pull up to a loading dock and load or unload within 10-15 minutes, the location will be considered either Limited Access or Non-Commercial and additional fees will apply. This typically means types of locations that, on average, have a longer than expected delivery time or higher level of difficulty accessing delivery point with a 53-foot truck, gated areas a driver must check into, commercial establishments not open to the walk-in public, or destinations where an employee is not available to assist with loading or unloading. Below is a list of specific destinations considered Limited Access. Since some locations are at the discretion of the carrier, this is not an all-inclusive list, but instead includes the most common places where additional charges will apply. In the event that the destination location is classified as something other than originally specified while placing the order, resulting in additional charges and or fees, it will be the buyer’s responsibility to provide payment for those charges and or fees.

Amusement Park
Apartment
Camps/Park/Resort
Churches or Places of Worship
Colleges
Construction Sites
Farm/Ranch
Fairs
Golf/Country Club
Government Facilities, Buildings, or Areas
Hotel
Individual/Mini Storage Units

Remote access: shipments must be quoted and are only where the freight companies charge a great premium because they are far away from normal freight paths and in such cases, the additional charge will vary and can be quoted prior to purchase. Other shipping options are available as needed and must be quoted on an as-requested basis as prices will always vary depending on many variables, including but not limited to fuel costs and time of year.

Inside Delivery: this service is provided upon request. With this service, the freight carrier may move the machine through one threshold from ground level to ground level. The carrier will not remove the machine from the pallet. The carrier will not remove packaging. The width of the door must be 4 inches wider than the pallet to pass through and the door height must be higher than the height of the machine on the pallet plus 6 inches. It is the responsibility of the owner of the machine to remove from the pallet and remove the packaging and set the machine in place.
Priority Shipping - If you desire the receipt of your equipment expeditiously, carrier’s offer Priority Shipping. Priority Shipping is an additional service the carrier offers to upgrade transit time from “estimated” to “expected”. This increases the reliability of the transit while it moves at a higher priority level than standard shipments. Failure by the carrier to deliver the shipment in the expected timeframe will result in the reimbursement of solely the additional cost of the Priority Shipping upgrade. All other freight cost or cost of equipment are unrelated to Priority Shipping and are not eligible for reimbursement due to delays in delivery of the equipment.
Call Ahead - This service adds instructions for the driver to call the phone number that is provided when in route to the delivery address. It is at the driver’s discretion to call when they deem appropriate. While this service is noted with the carrier as well as added to the paperwork it is possible the service is missed by the delivery driver. It is strongly recommended not to rely on this service to make arrangements, but rather to track the transit through the link provided and contact the destination terminal directly to ensure you are prepared for the shipment upon arrival.
Appointment - With this service, the carrier will contact you to set a date and window of time for delivery. Please be advised that this service typically delays the shipment’s transit.

Detention: In the event that the machine cannot be unloaded within 30 minutes upon arrival, the shipment will incur additional charges and or fees in incremental blocks of 15 minutes. It will be the buyer’s responsibility to provide payment for the charges and or fees incurred.

Damages

Our vending machines are carefully prepared for shipping and securely strapped to a pallet to greatly reduce the possibility of shipping damages. In addition, we offer full protection on all shipments, making the shipping process hassle-free and worry-free in the event of damages — as long as any visible damage is properly marked as “DAMAGED” on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery. It is the buyer’s responsibility to thoroughly inspect the machines for shipping damages before signing for the freight. If there is any visible damage, it must be clearly documented in writing on the delivery receipt required by the carrier. The buyer or their representative must clearly write “DAMAGE” on the carrier’s paperwork. If the delivery receipt is signed without noting damages, the signee is confirming that the equipment was delivered in good condition. Failing to mark the shipment as “DAMAGED” may void coverage and will likely result in the carrier rejecting any claim. The buyer may not request compensation from Vending Concepts, cancel the order, or initiate a credit card claim against Vending Concepts due to transit damage or delays in delivery.

The legal terms

Disputes, storage and site terms

Disputes

If a buyer attempts to dispute the purchase through the issuing credit card company, or third-party purchase provider, and violates the terms of this agreement, Vending Concepts may take legal action and defend this agreement to the full extent of the law. Vending Concepts will automatically charge a $500.00 administrative fee to defend the dispute. If the dispute renders a decision in favor of the buyer, therefore ignoring the clear terms of this agreement, the buyer will still be fully responsible to adhere to the terms of this agreement as well as be liable for all attorney’s fees and court costs should Vending Concepts seek legal action. Additionally, Vending Concepts may attempt to collect the debt through a collection agency. This agreement will remain in effect and will govern this purchase regardless of the outcome of the dispute.

Warehousing Storage and Abandonment of Merchandise

Any orders that the Buyer places and fails to complete payment for, return necessary documents to release the order, provide information necessary to complete the order, arrange pick up, or accept delivery, within 90 days of purchase, will incur storage charges. Storage charges will incur automatically and will not require written notice prior to incurring. Storage charges will incur at a rate of $250.00 per unit for the first day and an additional $10.00 per unit per day thereafter. The machines will be held as collateral against the storage charges and will not be released until the charges are paid in full. Once the storage charges exceed the value of the equipment, the equipment will be considered abandoned and thus returning ownership to Vending Concepts, at which point all storage charges will be considered paid.
