Every Question, Answered
How much does it cost to get a vending machine for your business?
It costs $0 — AZ Express Vending provides the machine, delivery, installation, weekly restocking, and all maintenance completely free of charge. We earn our money from product sales inside the machine, not from you. There is no lease, no fees, and no contract.
Are free vending machines really free? What’s the catch?
There is no catch: the machine, delivery, installation, restocking, and repairs are all free because AZ Express Vending earns revenue from the products sold. The only things your business provides are floor space and a standard electrical outlet. And there are no contracts — if it’s not working out, we remove the machine free.
How do I get a vending machine in my office?
Call AZ Express Vending or send the 60-second request form, and we’ll recommend the right machines for your workplace at no cost. We deliver and install the machine free, stock it with selections your team actually wants, and restock it weekly. Most Los Angeles and Orange County locations can be up and running within days.
Can I rent or lease a vending machine instead?
You can, but with AZ Express Vending you don’t need to: we place the machine at your business for $0 a month, with no lease and no contract. Renting or leasing adds a monthly payment and usually leaves stocking to you; free placement includes weekly restocking and repairs at no cost.
Where can I get a vending machine for my business?
In Los Angeles and Orange County, call or text AZ Express Vending or send our 60-second request form. We place brand-new snack, drink and combo machines free at workplaces with 50+ people on site in our placement neighborhoods — and if you would rather own one, we also sell new American-made machines.
How many people do I need on site to qualify for a free vending machine?
Free placement from AZ Express Vending is for locations with 50 or more people on site daily — staff plus regular visitors such as students, customers and drivers, not just employees. Most offices, warehouses, plants, schools and dealerships in our placement neighborhoods qualify; call us and we will confirm yours.
Do I have to sign a contract? Are there cancellation fees?
No — AZ Express Vending has no contracts, no fixed term, and no cancellation fees. If you ever want the machine removed, we pick it up free with no penalties and no paperwork battles.
Who stocks and services the vending machine?
AZ Express Vending handles everything: we restock every machine on our own weekly routes and repair any issue at no charge. Your team never orders, stocks, or maintains anything, and we adjust the product mix based on what your people actually buy.
What kinds of vending machines do you offer?
We place brand-new snack machines, cold drink machines, and combo machines (snacks and drinks in one). Every machine type is available free to qualifying businesses in Los Angeles and Orange County.
What products can our team get?
Over 112 selections: name-brand chips and snacks, candy, cookies, sodas, water, sports drinks, energy drinks, juices, iced coffee, and healthy better-for-you options. We tailor the mix to your team and rotate in what sells at your location.
What payment methods do the machines accept?
Our machines accept credit and debit cards, tap-to-pay mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and cash. Employees are never stuck without change.
How fast can a machine be installed?
Fast — that’s why “Express” is in our name: most Los Angeles and Orange County locations can have a machine delivered, installed, and stocked within days of the first call. Call us for a same-day answer on timing for your address.
What happens if the machine breaks down or takes someone’s money?
Call or text us and we handle it fast — you reach the local family that services your machine, not a national call center. Repairs are free and refunds are made promptly.
Who pays for the electricity?
The host business provides the outlet; a modern vending machine typically uses only about $10–15 of electricity per month. Our newer energy-efficient machines with LED lighting keep that on the low end.
Do I need a permit to have a vending machine at my business in California?
No — as the host business you don’t need any permit or license. AZ Express Vending owns, operates, and services the machines; you just provide the space.
Do I earn a commission for hosting a vending machine?
Most locations choose our 100% free full-service program — free machine, free stocking, free repairs. If your location has exceptionally high foot traffic, call us and we’ll discuss what’s possible for your situation.
What areas do you serve?
Free vending machine placement covers our weekly-route neighborhoods: Canoga Park, Reseda, San Fernando, Sun Valley, Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley, plus Downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, Carson, Santa Ana and Anaheim. Vending machine repair, moving and new-machine delivery cover all of Los Angeles County and Orange County.
What healthy snack options can a vending machine offer?
Our healthy vending selections include baked chips, veggie straws, protein bars, nuts and trail mix, low-sugar snacks, juices, coconut water, and zero-sugar drinks. We can dedicate whole shelves — or a whole machine — to better-for-you options.
Do you place vending machines at warehouses and industrial facilities?
Yes — warehouses, distribution centers, logistics yards, and manufacturing plants in our placement neighborhoods across Los Angeles and Orange County are our specialty. Machines run 24/7 for every shift, take cash and tap-to-pay, and get restocked weekly or more often for high-volume floors.
