FAQ
Darwin, Northern Territory — FAQ
How fast can you install in Darwin?+
Darwin metro installs typically ship in 3–4 weeks accounting for interstate freight.
Do vending machines handle the Top End wet season?+
Yes — our Darwin fleet is tropical-spec with upgraded compressors, condensate management, and sealed cashless readers. We service more frequently through the wet.
Are Alice Springs and Katherine covered?+
Yes, on quarterly service routes. Free hire terms are identical to metro Darwin.
Do you install at NT defence sites?+
Yes — Robertson Barracks, RAAF Base Darwin and Larrakeyah Defence Precinct all qualify. See /industries/government-military.
Is the vending machine hire really free — no contract or hidden fee?+
Yes. Rental is $0. Delivery is $0. Install is $0. Restocking, cleaning, servicing and product liability insurance are $0. The program is funded entirely by the products sold from the machine. No lock-in contract — if it stops suiting you, we collect the machine at no cost.
Who owns the machine on a free hire arrangement?+
We do. That's why maintenance, insurance, restocking and eventual removal are our responsibility, not yours. You're hosting the machine, not leasing it.
What's the minimum staff or foot traffic to qualify for free hire?+
About 30 daily on-site people is the working threshold for a standalone drink or snack combo machine. Below that we can still discuss micro-market or shared-site setups.
Can we swap or relocate the machine after install?+
Yes. Product mix reviews are ongoing and free. If you move offices or the current spot isn't working, we relocate the machine at no cost.
