on closer inspection i realised it wasnt my tower it was a `help for heroes` tubz vending operator. After speaking to site i was told both towers have got to go, still no reason given. My opinion is sites got ****** off with a second tower being dumped on them.
The operator is lucky we have both been kicked out, because it means his tower is still there to be collected by hiself :nono:

Hi All. I actually walked into a site of mine that i've had for eight years, only to find a tubz vending operator putting his machine next to mine, when i asked why? he said, " tubz vending site finders got him the site" Turns out they had missled the boss on the phone. I gave him a piece of my mind, and waited twenty mins for him in the carpark, he wouldn't come out!!! When i returned to the site later that day his machine was gone. Regards Al.

Hi Centurion,

Absolutley understand you irratation at the situation, it would p*ss me off too. But surley the problem lies at tubz vending not the operator, as he would have paid his £25 for the site. Some people on the forum may say that the operater should walk away from the site and ring tubz vending, and say that the site already has a machine ect, but as a new operater they may feel they can't do that, or they may not be 100% sure what to do or what the un-written code is when it comes to placing a machine.

I personally use tubz vending for product and site finding (and have not found myself in the above situation), but it would be nice if a clear and definative answer would be put on here from tubz vending with regards to the situation for this, as it constantly comes up in differant threads. But will this happen??

Hi Chris. 100% he should have not placed that machine next to mine. i would been straight on the phone to tubz vending asking them why they try and mislead sites when cold calling, Had i have been that operator. Regards AL.

I do agree with you, it should have been,

but if he was a new operater, he would assume when he paid the site finding service all the homework would have been done, and that this was all ok and had been sorted. It is much easier to look at things when you have been doing things for a long time like yourself. For all i know he might just be a t*at, and put it there, but sometimes people need to be given the benefit of the doubt.

I agree , but what sort of a plonker is he that thinks that his machine will do ok in a site that already HAS a machine. If he is that stupid then he shouldn't be in business in the first palce. tubz vending fault or not, he should at least have a bit of savvy on how to run his own business.
