Tom D Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 yes ive noticed this like all new technology this is only the 1st stage ,notice this one does any 3 keys for a tenner, unlike the one in my local morrisons and dosent require the operator to select the blank, also nobody ever sed to ask me how much they do now, my advice match it , ido and my moneys is up, see for a supermarket the machine takes up 2 foot square , its very profitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I'm not too worried about these. As far as I see it, vending machines haven't put cafes and sweet shops out of business and the've been out for decades. We have them in ASDA and Morrisons, and people still come to us, as,1) they're nervous about using the machines, and, 2) they prefer the interaction and the ability to try and haggle to get them even cheaper 3) they can't get keyrings or key caps from them.

k4mrc Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I like the 'under 3 minutes' notice, as I have customers who state 3 keys took at least 30 minutes and didn't work? But how ever we think this is more competition for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Feedback seems to be they are poor. As Kobblers said, people don't like using them. I would say though, vending machines tend to be the same price or more than sweet shops, but I still don't see them as a threat. And I'm not interested on matching them for price, most key cutters offer a far more comprehensive service. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 They cannot do Ultion, ABS, Pioneer, Cisa Astral, Mul-t-lock you get the picture they are never going to bother any professional key cutter like us. Timpsons are also a great tool for us as well, especially with the prices they charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Dude Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 They took the one out of the asda closest to me and the staff point folk in my direction, I think they were fed up with the complaints. The sainsburys along from me have a Johnsons cutting keys but only 1 or 2 in there know what to do and the others send them to me for anything other than a straight yale. The only thing is the hagglers, "£10 for three keys in asda" why are you in here then?? "I got them and they did not work" Mine are £10 for three keys that don't work, £13.50 for three at actually will work.
