Parry Sound, Ontario Canada

I purchased 2 Steam Cards at 2 different locations in Parry Sound,Ontario. And I was tolded they used. I didn't scratch them off until purchasing them and I had bought them as a gift but we were told they were used. And so all I'm asking can I get the steam cards replaced or get my refund back that I spended for 2 Steam Cards totalling at $ 200 dollars each which amounts to $ 400 dollars Canadian. My name : Sandra McCoy and you reach me this cellphone number: 1-70*-***-**** ASAP thank you.

User's recommendation: Be careful.

One of the biggest waste of money.

Spent the $3500. or what ever it was for the package. Seams to me about a year ago. All I ever got was a web sight. Several lame leads, Nothing near a high traffic sight, Nothing I would even consider. They made the allotted calls and even some bonus calls. To date not one sight did I get. Made several calls to Kickstart, always give it some more time. To date all the sights I have I got my self. Before Kickstart I spent $450. on a so called locator, That just ran with my money. Loosing 450. is bad enough, But over 3000. SUCKS. So Think hard before you give your money away to the SO Called LOCATORS. Angry Angry Angry Angry

Thanks for posting this I was on the fence then I talked to one of their sales people who actually had the nerve to tell me they don't sell / location when it's directly on their website. Everything out of his mouth was slimy and I just didn't even feel right when I got off the phone so thank you so much for writing in

I've paid for 21 vending locations and NO Response

Last year back in August 2017 I contacted Kick Start Locations in order to locate 21 candy machine locations. My 1st contact was Robert Patterson then transferred over to Theresa Balbuena the customer support manager. So after I've purchased 21 bulk candy vending locations and received NO response from Kick start locations, I begin emailing and calling them...Nothing..Now I find out it's a FRAUDULENT website/business. They have another FRAUDULENT website called vending locator 360. It's been 9 months later and STILL no response. I've reported this issue to the BBB, FBI, IRS. They are investigating this matter thoroughly. {{Redacted}}

How did the process go? Did you get a full refund eventually?

I am thinking to begin vending machine business with Kickstart, but trying to see how it works as reading all reviews.. There are positive reviews as much as negative rates.Hope things got better for you by now.

Hi Chloe, I did not receive a Full Refund. The process was easy in the beginning when they take your money but then kick start took 6 months to get the locations which messed up the warranty in replacing the vending locations which did not do well.

Try another Company, Kick Start is Horrible in responding back. Once they have your money..They literally will not respond for months.

Find every location yourself. I found 92 locations in under 2 months myself while Kick Start responded back to me within 11 months later...Good Luck!

After getting off the phone with them if I were you I wouldn't do it. The salesperson out-and-out lied to me and then when I caught him in a lie he got really rude just seems like unsavory practices so best of luck to you

Kickstart locations in complete fraud.

Kickstart locations has been trying for over a year to get me replacement locations since several brand new machines were stolen asap upong placement.The owners (4) said to me right away first thing that kickstart loactions said they are not responsible.I was out four brand new machines and they tell lies upon lies to get the candy machines placed. The BBB I can gladly tell you is a total in it for the money and nothing else. Their rating means only they are paid off in big dollars and the Owner responds to the complaint. I was finally after endless battling repaid for 3 locations but they owe me $1500 minimum for stolen machines and refuse to pay. Do not believe a single word the BBB or Kickstart locations say to get you money. I was a big *** and I mean big to give them my money for locations. Do not follow in my footstep and be smarter then me. Also do not in a minute let the BBB fool you since they are a total in it for the money for themselves and A plus reviews a bought with big dollars.
