I'm experiencing same problem.

Called CS no clue or explanation of what happened, yet the check was cashed without my receiving my order. Told to wait 5 days call back if not received.

@allaries

And here I have people telling me checks went out with the 8-track tapes.

I personally have a checking account, but it is only used as an address to send my SS and my Pension Checks. Don't even have a checkbook.

Same! Not sure why anyone would send a check for an order but to each their own!

There are still some people who don’t do online banking! So far I have never had a problem ordering on line, but know at least 3 seniors who just won’t do it.

@hckynutjohn - was your passive belittling necessary? So, she likes to write checks. No big deal. You don't. So what. Doesn't make you "all that" because you boast that you don't own a checkbook. What is your point?

With all that's going on with them, I am not at surprised that there are problems with pay by check. Payment by check must be a nightmare for them.

@hckynutjohn I only write 3 checks per month, everything else is paid online. The only reason I have to pay the 3 bills by check is that they are local small businesses and my landlord who either don't accept electronic payments or charge 3% extra for credit card payments. Hopefully that will change in the future.

You just made it! "Passive Belittle"?

If I choose to say something to anyone, it is not passive. I say it directly and preferably to their face.

I comment, you interpret it any way you choose.

Fortunately almost all our regular Bill's are set up on Auto Withdraw Payments. Think my wife might still use her checking account with some local purchases, I don't ask. I buy very little locally, and what I do is by debit card, no extra credit charge.

I remember when paying cash was 99% of purchases. Now? Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, even pay more to pay a bill. Who'da thought, not me.

I always pay cash when I'm at my local grocery store. Just the other day the checkout clerk thought it strange I paid that way as she said hardly anybody pays with cash these days, always credit or debit card.

I rarely pay by check either as most all my bills are paid online and I also use Paypal.

@allaries

It's no secret that the US Mail isn't nearly as efficient as it used to be. So many things can go wrong with a "check order". I am very surprised that retailers accept that form of payment anymore.

I know a lot of people in the forums are fans of yours. I am not but do enjoy some of your posts. As many as you have you must be on here a lot. My kids make fun of me for writing checks also. I really do have a debit card and credit cards. I just did not want to use them. I dont bank online either so I guess that went out with the 8 track.also. I know a lot of things I do will soon be obsolete but I will probaly be ashes scattered somewhere by then. This is the first time I have had a problem but thankfully it was a low amount. But it is okay if you have a laugh at my expense. As my mom used to say I have broad shoulders.

@allaries , there is nothing wrong with you mailing a check if that's what you want to do. If your bank says the check cashed, I'd get a copy of the check that cleared and email it to the mods here.

There is no reason for Q not to send you the item you ordered when they clearly have cashed the check and it cleared.

I wish you luck and hope it works out. I know some people that still write checks and won't pay online. If Q still accepts which obviously they do, they need to get the item shipped to you.

@allaries When I read @hckynutjohn response, I didn't take it as his making fun of you....I simply think he was just pointing out he doesn't have a checking account. I still do.....sometimes you ( or at least I ) still need one. Since I don't do Zelle or Venmo, checks come in handy when sending a birthday card in the mail to a relative. Also, I need a check when paying my lawn man since he doesn't take plastic. Also, checks come in handy when paying certain establishments now that want to pass on their merchant surcharge fee on to the customer. No, thank you! That seems to be the way of the future by the way. My local post office, car dealer service garage, doctor's office, barber shop and even my lawyer is tacking on 3.5% when you use a credit card. Maybe cash really is king. 🤴

@allaries

I am glad to see your reply. While I do have a higher number of posts than many. It really has more to do with how long, over the years, I have been here. It is not so much about how much time I spend on these forums.

Technology started to really advance in the later '70's, in my view. And since it started it has been by leaps and bounds. I used to order most of my electronics via Mail Order Companies out of magazines. That was because they were so much cheaper for the same equipment. Back then it had to be paid by COD(cash on delivery)only.

I am not even sure why I decided to post on this thread, but I did. If I did so in a manner that offended members, that was not my intent. It was certainly not for me to get a laugh out of it. A laugh, at the expense of others, is not, or ever has been, who I am.

Hey John .... I don't think your comments were offensive or getting a laugh at someone's expense. You were making an observation. I'm sure others can also relate to your comments as well.

@allaries Have the bank give you a copy of the check, front and back to show the endorsement. DO THAT NOW. When you get that, call CS and let them know. If they want to see the copy, make another copy, send it to them, and keep the first copy for yourself. DON'T DESTROY IT UNTIL THE MATTER IS COMPLETELY RESOLVED.

I thought the Q stopped having pay by check as an option. 🤷‍♀️
