Vending Machines

Refunds

972-602-6740, then 1 for Customer Service

Debit/Credit Card Transactions

If a debit/credit card transaction fails to deliver product, the machines have drop sensors that should recognize product failed to deliver. It will take 48 hours, but the authorized charge should be credited back to your account.

Cash Transactions

If a cash transaction fails to deliver product or correct change, you can get a refund through the mail if you’d like to provide a mailing address. Alternatively if you are an employee on site, American Food & Vending can have our tech refund money on arrival, as they like to schedule a service call anytime a machine malfunctions.
