?Recommendation: Purchasing New Blank Checks?

JoyFilled Warrior — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 14:38:32 GMT

Hi @Forum_Folks

I have a requirement to purchase new Checks now.

Eons ago, my old blank checks were purchased from: DesignerChecks

And had no problems ever, Security or otherwise.

Im looking at purchasing blank checks from:

DesignerChecks

BradfordExchangeChecks

Anyone have any experience with these mentioned, or have another Check Printing recommendation?

Thanks in Advance.

I order checks from Designer Checks and I have never had a problem with my checks.

If you're a Costco member, perhaps even if you're not, last time I needed to order checks I bought them online from Costco and felt I got the best price for what I wanted.

@JoyFilled Warrior I have always used Harland Clark through my bank. They are plain checks in a pack of 80. They last me for a very long time. Although most of my bills are paid through on line banking.....there is always something that requires a check.

I've never bought checks anywhere except from my bank. I don't like "designer" check; I want them plain jane.

I get mine from the bank ... when I run out ... I just hand the order form to the teller and tell him/her I need more.

There are "plain Jane" options available from all check printing companies. The difference is that they provide checks at a fraction of the price of any bank I've dealt with.

I do the same thing. There's an order form on the front of the last group of checks and I just drop it off at the bank's drive-thru. My only problem is in remembering where I put them, but that would be the same no matter who I used.

I used to get cute checks, but I just get the plain ones now. I've actually used them a bit more lately since some retailers are now charging a fee to use credit/debit cards

Our business uses Walmart checks. They are fast and cheap.

I've use Bradford exchange for checks with no issue.

I always have since I opened my first checking account my Jr. year of high school in 1979 I have ordered all my checks through my bank. The bank I have been with since 1982 uses Harland. I see no reason to change at this point anymore than I will change in writing checks.

My bank changed ownership and changed all account numbers. They gave everyone ugly bank checks to start out. Four packs. I ordered some more for the future from Bradford Checks. I had to to destroy my old ones.

I kept getting a fee for $14.99 every month billed on my credit card from Bradford. I forgot what it was for but did NOT authorize it. They removed it and credited my CC.

Designer Checks used to have good deals for new accounts. They we're good.

Like most if us I don't write as many as in in years past. When there is a fee by the.business for CC use I write a check. I pay taxes via check so sometimes only option.

I'vve been buying checks through the Styles Check Company (formerly Image Checks) for eons. I use top-stub checks and they can be hard to find. Styles has a good selection.

I get 50 checks per year free from my bank and that's more than enough for me. There's no choice in the design (or lack thereof), but I really don't care what they look like, and neither does any person or entity that I might give one of them to.

@JoyFilled Warrior I find it interesting you & others in this thread are "paying" for checks. I never have.

My bank has FREE checking which includes FREE checks up to 500 (100 cks per box) if you have a checking account. You can pick the color, the # of checks & your design. You can order by mail or have the bank do the ordering for you.

My checks are bright yellow w/just my name. Very plain. I call the bank to order. I can either go to the bank to pick them up or have them mail directly to my home.

My credit union used checks from Harland, though I haven't used checks in several years.

I've read articles claiming that check writing is getting obsolete and in a few years they won't be available anywhere. According to what I've read on this forum, the articles could be wrong. I don't think they'll be completely discontinued in my lifetime.

I only order thru my bank, as the checks are free; with only a service fee and postage.

Back when I used checks I only got them from my bank and they were free. I have a few checks left but I really can't remember the last time I wrote a check. I love having all my bills on line and even my church tithes are set up electronically.
