Antiquities Vending Company

Review: Sent our VMC 33 coke machine (including a 1400.00 deposit) to Mr. H[redacted] in October 2013 to be fully restored. He said it would take 2-3 months. A year later still no machine. After e-mails and phone calls he said it was in the paint shop and would send photos. Finally received photos of a machine that was not ours and have not heard from him since.Desired Settlement: Would like our restored VMC 33 back or a full refund with the unrestored machine.

Review: I paid Alan $3300 for my Mills 65 Coca Cola Machine to be fully restored 9 years ago. I have the receipt that states paid in full. I have yet to receive my machine. He has lied to me time and time again with a delivery date promising it would be finished. His latest date was Oct. 1, 2014 in which he failed to have it restored and delivered.Desired Settlement: I want my fully restored machine delivered to my doorstep. I do not want a refund, I want what I paid for.

Review: I heard of Antiquities Vending Company via a [redacted] article praising Alan H[redacted] workmanship on vintage coke machines. Based on this article, I reached out to have Mr. H[redacted] restore my coke machine. We agreed on the restoration terms and conditions and I paid the required deposit amount. At the present time, we are past our agreed upon timeline and I am getting very little updates. I reach out and the replies are excuses - 1) I will need to call you back 2) I got your machine confused with another customer 3) we are now painting in house so we are running behind 4) etc...I do not know if he still has my machine, if work has truly been started, etc. I have expressed my concerns about his lack of communication and have repeatedly asked for pictures and a firm deadline for pick up. I have received nothing in return. I should have researched this company prior to engaging and dropping off my property with a deposit.Desired Settlement: At this point, I either want my machine restored as promised or a full refund with my machine in tact (no parts missing).

Review: On May 22, 2014 I sent Alan H[redacted], via PayPal, $600 for a refrigeration unit for my antique Westinghouse coke cooler. After numerous phone calls and text messages, and promises that it was going to be shipped, I still haven't received it. On August 8, I asked for a refund. Alan H[redacted] said he would refund my money that week. I haven't received the refund he promised and now he isn't answering calls from me or replying to my text messages.Desired Settlement: Refund of $600.

Review: Antiquities Vending charged my credit card 60 days ago for the cost of restoring a Coca-Cola picnic cooler that they said was completed. I contacted the business 30 days after paying and received assurances they would ship it soon. Despite repeated texts and phone calls to the business owner and promises from him to ship the item and provide a tracking number for the package, he has failed to do so.Desired Settlement: Ship my restored cooler immediately and provide a valid package tracking number.

Review: I cancelled payment after a month plus one week of waiting. He did not complete the service in the time he stated. Nor did he so any progress.Desired Settlement: I am requesting he send my soda (compressor unit) back to me.

Review: I shipped 2 coke machines to Antique Vending Co on 7-17-13. One of them was to be restored and the other was to be used for credit toward the restoration cost. I was promised it would be restored in approximately 3 months. As of today, June 27, 2014, I continue to get excuses as to why the job us still incomplete. I have made numerous attempts to contact Allen. Sometimes he answers my calls/texts and sometimes they go unanswered for days until I call back. I have already prepaid 50% of the bill. I have been mislead about the stage of completion many times and gotten the run around too long.Desired Settlement: My first option would be to have the job completed. At this point, I truly don't know how much work had been done on it. He was supposed to restore the inside and paint the outside. If the job can be completed correctly in a timely manner, I would like to have the job finished. If work has not even been started on it, I would like a full refund and both machines shipped back at his cost.

Review: The owner told me he could repair the compressor for my vintage coke machine. I sent it to him and he charged my credit card $450, he sent it back to me and it didn't work. I sent it to him again, he said it had been repaired, when I hooked it up it still didn't work. I sent to him again. He has promised for weeks that he is returning it and promises tracking numbers that I never receive. He will not answer my texts or phone calls.Desired Settlement: I want my compressor, a full $450 refund and reimbursed for the shipping costs. Or a refund of $800 to purchase a new compressor.
