The other way of having your machine delivered is with a turn key delivery service. Manufacturers, like Kooler Ice, will send a dedicated and highly-trained technician with every machine ensuring your ice vending machine is delivered safely, with no hassles for you to deal with. You will be contacted, a delivery appointment will be scheduled, and they will arrive at your job site with your machine in tow.

Either way, with turn key service, the guesswork is taken out of the delivery experience by ensuring that your machine is protected and safe during transit.
- Who is responsible for unloading the machine, and who will run the forklift?
- Who is responsible for assembling the machine?
- What if there are leaks and repairs needed on startup? Who will be doing those repairs?
- Will I receive any training on the machine’s operation? What happens if something isn’t working?

With Drop Ship Service: Some companies provide a brief product overview via video or an over-the-phone recording. They do not provide you with in-depth training on-site at your machine. So, this is more of a learn-as-you-go process. You will likely have to call the manufacturer to troubleshoot the machine and to receive training.
With Turn Key Service: After reviewing and confirming all machine functions are a go, and you are comfortable with your new machine, we will thoroughly go over the entire machine and show you how all components work, including how the machine bags ice automatically, what their functions are, how to add bags, replace filters, remove money, reset systems and basic troubleshooting of the machine. We will then turn the keys over to you and provide you with our 1-800 line to call if you have any questions or concerns after we leave. Also, after 2-3 days of operation and familiarization with the machine, we will schedule a follow-up call to train you on our monitoring system and iPhone App and to introduce you to our online parts store, service team, and other personnel in the company that is there to assist and support you in your new ice vending business! With a turn key service like Kooler Ice offers, the goal is to make the delivery process a stress-free, exciting time for new owners!
