Is anyone losing sites due to having no Pringles?

Post by **Vendition Ltd** » August 1st, 2011, 8:01 pm

I am starting to lose sites now because I have no Pringles in stock! They just tell me they can't be bothered for me to remove it then put it back in so if I can't refill it they want it out!

Who are selling the best Maxi tubz vending? and what are their prices? I need a short term fix ASAP before I lose any more!

Cheers

Hi Ross,

I understand Hurleys have apot that vends well. I am still ok for Pringles at the moment, but the Mega Pot has to be the right way to go to keep sites happy.

Thanks,

Paul

Didn't someone mention that stock was available now, but at full price?
I'd definitely pay full price in the short term to keep sites happy.

No Daz, nothing available! I'd pay 80p per pot I'm that desperate

I have some you can have at 80p per pot, what quantity of each flavour do you require?

There is a cash and carry in Stevenage that has them they work out 60p a pot, they also still had prawn cocktail last time I was there. I will go have a count up in the morning and let you know how many they have.

About 5 years ago I failed to store enough stock and I ran out of pringles. Since then I make sure I keep a minimum of one months supply, so I'm probably okay until late August/early September.
However, no one knows for certain when (or even if) the next stock will be released by P&G.
So in the meantime I'm diversifying as much as possible, in order to make my remaining stock last.
I've already got some transparent tubs and have just bought more.
I'm trying cheesettes and maybe twiglets and also, (where appropriate) lollies (3 to a tub).

To protect my best sites (and preserve stocks) I may even remove machines from weaker sites.

If the shortage continues past September, then I believe we will all have major problems.
Some customers will not want alternatives to pringles and I feel I would then start to lose sites.
Hopefully P&G will pull their finger out and normal service will resume.
In the meantime we need: diversification, adaptation and some luck.
