I have purchased my checks online from Promise Checks. Never had any problems and their checks are as low as $3.95 per box.

I knew I bookmarked this for a reason…I have my once-in-a-lifetime need to order checks right now.

I get them from a stationary company, that I have done for years. I haven’t had any problems.
Thanks for the information on buying online, I haven’t done much of it, since I hear the not so good experiences that people have had. And I found a place from one of the thrift blogs I subscribe my email to, and they have recycled paper ones. Since I am striving to live to leave the earth a better place for the future generations, I plan to take that route.

I rarely use cheques these days.
But, when I need them, I go to my bank and ask for temporary cheques.
You can get them free or for a small charge.
Email money transfer are also a great option, but for my bank they cost $1.00 – so not the cheapest way to pay.

Thanks for figuring this out for me. I’m getting to the bottom of my box. I’m a Costco executive member living in Alaska (shipping costs!) so I’m definitely going with them!

We won’t be getting free checks from WAMU, now that Chase has taken them over… sad to say.

I’ve ordered checks online for years, as it’s much cheaper than getting them through the bank. I’ve used Checks Unlimited, and several others.

They will typically give you a special deal for 1st time orders, so I’ve switched companies to get the best deal.

I now only use a few checks a month. My local water company charges a fee to pay online, so I send them a check and certain fees, picture orders, team orders, etc. at my son’s school require checks. Other than that, I pay everything online or use my debit or credit card (which is paid off every month).

Checks are mostly a thing of the past – just wish the school would get onboard with debit or credit transactions.

I write maybe 4 checks a year but agreed those prices are outrageous.

The Walmart link doesn’t seem to be working. FYI

Some banks, such as WaMu, offer free checks. You might want to check it out.

Thanks,

It seems like ordering online is a must (or at the least, one of a very few options) when dealing with online banking.

One of the things I have under my belt is free checks from my off-line bank. I opened an account with about 7 years ago, and they sent me 500 checks. I’ve only gone through about 150 of those checks in 7 years.

I’m at a point now where I write out 1 check a month, and I wouldn’t do that if I didn’t need to.
