Avoid this Service
Disappointing Experience with Vending Locator. I encountered several issues with the location data provided for my vending machine business: Lack of Urgent Care Locations: The dataset omitted urgent care facilities, which are critical high-traffic locations for vending machines. When I raised this concern, the provider only offered to take it as feedback and refused to update the data, leaving me to source these locations independently. Poor Data Formatting: Many addresses were inconsistently formatted or unclear (e.g., “12100 H, Little Patuxent Pkwy” or “Century Plaza Office Center, 10630 L Little Patuxent Pkwy”). This required significant manual cleanup, wasting time and effort. Overly Broad Radius: The provided addresses spanned a radius exceeding an hour’s drive from my target area, including locations as far as Washington, DC, and Arlington, VA. Meanwhile, many local businesses in key zip codes (e.g., 21044, 20723) were missing, reducing the data’s relevance. Slow Response Times: Customer support was unresponsive, requiring three follow-ups to get a reply, which delayed my project timeline. Overall, the service fell short of expectations due to incomplete data, poor formatting, and unresponsive support. I hope these issues are addressed to improve future experiences.
