Yes. If your location is not working, tell AIVS in advance and transport of the machine to a new location can be arranged. The machine runs off a standard 3-pin plug, so setup at the new site is simple. Before it moves, agree the new placement with the host in writing.
Why would you move a machine?
A machine only sells where people pass with a few minutes to spare. If footfall at your first site is weaker than you hoped, or the host arrangement ends, the machine does not have to stay there. Being able to relocate it is one reason to check the placement terms carefully before you buy; our guide to the risks of a vending machine business lists the others.
How do you move an AIVS machine?
- Decide where it should go next. Our guide to the best locations for a vending machine shows what to look for.
- Agree the new placement with the host in writing, including any rent or share of sales and how long it lasts.
- Let AIVS know in advance, and WhatsApp the machine and the new location you have in mind.
- AIVS can arrange transport of the machine to the new location.
- Plug it into a standard 3-pin socket at the new site and switch it on.
What does the machine need at the new site?
A standard 3-pin power socket, and a spot where people pass and can see it. AIVS machines take cashless payment, so there are no coins or notes to carry across, and the owner dashboard shows revenue, device status and inventory on your phone wherever the machine stands. See how to monitor a vending machine from your phone.
Does moving the machine change your support?
Ownership terms and the optional support plan from S$99 a month are set out on the AIVS pages. If you plan to move a machine, ask AIVS to confirm in writing how your warranty and support apply at the new site, so there are no surprises.
Should you ask before you buy?
Yes. If you might want to relocate, ask about it at the start. The own a vending machine page explains how ownership works, and the Topi Express page lists moving the machine later among its common questions.
