Just thinking

YES IT IS TRUE, Red Bull North America contacted me today and confirmed it, I also asked about them going to a 16oz can and they said ABSOLUTELY NOT

Good luck with getting anything from CC, they just lost all business contacts with RedBull North America. Are your machines the black cabnet style? or the upright that look like a RED BULL can? If they are the older style black ones, you can get them for $2100 straight from teh manufacturer. CC exagerated the truth telling you that you would get 23 a day. My sales are slowly picking up and I am now getting some machines that do 10 a day and I am happy with thet. Your right target marketing does suck, so does costal locators, which is ran by CC. If anyone outthere reading this is thinking about sending CC any money, think twice, they are no longer working with CC. Good luck with your business and I wish you the best

This news of CC not working with RB is huge. How are these machines going to be distributed in the future? How will the 1 year theft/vandalism warrenty through CC work out? I'm calling RB tomorrow to find some details.

I saw some replys a few posts back in reply to Varuca- I did not see any recent post from Veruca...was this in regards to a private message?

The idea of going through a larger local vendor with RB machines is interesting- my question would be that these companies are large for the most part- if you pitch the machines well enough, they have the buying power to easily purchase these machines and add them to their route. I'm going to consider this possibility and contact a vendor soon.

CC not working with RB? that was obviously worded wrong... RB not working with CC, lol

I agree. It's obvious CC was dragging Red Bull's vending whole sale customers through the mud.

EntreEnergy... you raise a good point about selling out to a large vending company. now would be the ideal time to look into it. you have to figure its gonna take RB a while to hash out how they want to proceed. in the mean time the machines that are out there are it! this may be a golden opportunity.

Hey there, thanks for letting me know about CC not working with Red Bull anymore. I'm freaking out now...According to CC's theft and vandalism policy, I can get replacement parts for one of my vandalized machines. These monkey asses aren't calling me back though. I've left three messages with them and nothing. It's hard for me to get in contact with them too because I live out here in Hawaii and there is a six hour time difference. By the way I've got the black Red Bull vending machines; how 'bout you? One of the mechanics at Jiffy Lube called me today and said my machine spit out several drinks! This has happened to me before while I was programming my machines. I don't know why this is happening, I'm hoping its because I loaded it up wrong. Fortunately for me the Jiffy Lube guys are nice and had called to let me know.
I swear if it ain't one thing, it's another.

I'm going to go drown in my tears now...

Hawaiigal,
I have both types, CC lost their contract with the original machine manufacturer, so their warantee is probably no longer any good. I am not sure what would cause it to vend multiple cans. You may have to reprogram it to the original settings. Good luck with your vending experience

i spoke to CC yesterday... they assured me that they are still going to be in existance and that the warranties WILL be honored. they told me they're looking into a new machine to sell... a multi-vend machine.

Hawaiigal. If you are getting multiple vends, you need to adjust your impact sensor. The sensor is set too weak, so when the can vends, it isn't sensed, so the machine tries to vend again. The most ridiculous thing about adjusting the impact sensor, is that it is on your control board and smaller than a grain of rice. It's a tiny white box with an even tinier gold screw sticking out of the bottom.

As far as Red Bull and CC go, I went to a meeting yesterday with my local Red Bull distributor, someone from Red Bull corporate, most of the local vending owners and someone from Royal Vendors. They did confirm that Red Bull has split off from CC because they did not like some of the negative things they had been hearing about CC. Red Bull corporate wants to be a lot more involved. This is actually a good thing for us. In dealing with CC, we didn't really have a good support team. Now that Red Bull is taking over the vending program themselves, we have all of Red Vull corporate to support us and help us become successful.
