A charge from “FIRST CLASS VENDI” or “FIRST CLASS VENDI BELL GARDENS CA” on a card statement typically reflects a purchase at one of their vending machines or micro markets, or an associated transaction processed through their payment systems. This might be a one-time snack, drink, or fresh food purchase using a credit/debit card or mobile wallet, or a small recurring or batch charge if you or your employer uses their online ordering or breakroom programs. In some cases, you may see multiple small charges from the same day if you made several separate purchases at machines or micro market kiosks serviced by First Class Vending.([firstclassvending.com](https://firstclassvending.com/home?utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about a charge, start by thinking about where you work or recently visited—office buildings, hospitals, manufacturing plants, colleges, or transit facilities often host First Class Vending machines and markets. Check your recent receipts, any on-screen vending or kiosk confirmations, or emails from First Class Vending or your employer’s breakroom program. To resolve billing issues, you can contact First Class Vending’s customer service via the contact details on their website or the sticker on the vending machine (usually including a phone number and/or email). Providing the transaction date, amount, location, and the last four digits of your card will help their support team look up the transaction, investigate duplicate or unauthorized charges, and discuss options for refunds or machine malfunctions.([firstclassvending.com](https://firstclassvending.com/terms-conditions?utm_source=openai))

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from FIRST CLASS VENDI or FIRST CLASS VENDING on my card statement?

This charge usually comes from using your credit or debit card at a vending machine, micro market kiosk, or office coffee/pantry point of sale serviced by First Class Vending. Their equipment is commonly installed in workplaces, hospitals, campuses, and other facilities throughout Southern California and Nevada, and transactions may appear on statements with a shortened descriptor such as “FIRST CLASS VENDI BELL GARDENS CA.”

What are typical charge amounts from First Class Vending?

Most individual charges from First Class Vending are relatively small—often between $1 and $15—covering items like snacks, beverages, fresh food, or coffee purchased from a vending machine or micro market. If your workplace uses a micro market or pantry program, you may see higher basket amounts when buying multiple items in a single transaction.

Can First Class Vending place temporary or pending authorization holds on my card?

Some payment terminals used in vending machines or micro markets may place a small temporary authorization hold (for example, a few dollars) to verify your card, especially for contactless or swipe transactions. The final posted amount should adjust to the exact purchase total, and any excess authorization will typically fall off within a few business days, depending on your bank’s policies.

How do I get a refund for a failed or incorrect vending machine purchase from First Class Vending?

If a product failed to vend, was damaged, or you were charged incorrectly, note the machine number or micro market location (usually printed on a sticker), the date and time, and the exact amount charged. Then contact First Class Vending using the phone number or email on the machine label or via the contact information on firstclassvending.com. Provide a photo of the machine or receipt if possible; they can usually verify the transaction and offer a refund or credit.([firstclassvending.com](https://firstclassvending.com/home?utm_source=openai))

How can I confirm which location a First Class Vending charge came from?

First Class Vending routes are managed from their Bell Gardens, California headquarters, but each machine or micro market has an internal ID. Check any signage, decals, or kiosk screens at the place you suspect you used your card (such as your office or a medical facility). Customer service can often identify the specific location using the transaction date, time, and amount combined with the last four digits of your card.

Does First Class Vending offer recurring or account-based billing?

Most consumer purchases are one-time transactions at vending machines or micro markets. However, some employers or facilities may have account-based or prepaid market cards tied to First Class Vending systems, which can result in periodic reloads or consolidated billing. If you see repeated charges, check whether you use a stored-value card, app, or employer-sponsored market account that automatically bills a linked payment method.

How do I contact First Class Vending about a suspicious or unrecognized charge?

Visit firstclassvending.com and use the listed customer service phone number or email address, or look for a service sticker on the vending machine or micro market where you think the transaction occurred. When contacting them, include the date, time, amount of the charge, and the last four digits of your card so they can locate the transaction, confirm whether it is legitimate, and assist with any dispute or refund process.([firstclassvending.com](https://firstclassvending.com/terms-conditions?utm_source=openai))

According to its website terms, First Class Vending is operated as a “doing business as” brand of Aramark Refreshment Services, LLC, a division of Aramark that specializes in workplace refreshment and breakroom services.
