Where to order cheap checks?

[framing fowl]

I just ran out of checks and thought I had another box... you know how it goes. So I went to a couple of the $19.99 check places... by the time you add shipping and handling and the processing fee and the expediting fee just to get them before Christmas, one company had me up to $70 and the other was at $99. I'm sorry but that's just crazy. I only write 5 to 10 checks per month. What to do?

People still use checks?

Yup, that'd be me! I do mostly on-line bill pay but there's a few things throughout the month that for various reasons, I still use a check for... at least I used to...

Did you try Current? Or was that one of the places that Nicolas and dimmed you to death?

Does your bank not offer checks? mine does and the plain ones are like $10 per box if you want 2 boxes or more. Actually I get mine free because of the balances I carry. If I need them in a hurry they just tell me to open a new account and they give me a book of 25 starter checks with the bank name, routing number and account number Preprinted. there is an order page in the front to order a supply of plain or fancy checks. Since it is just a sheet that I give to other people I don't care what it looks like. Check with your bank (pun not intended)~gd

I keep reading this as cheap chicks. I KNOW it's for checks, but being on this forum....

I'll check with current and the bank. Last time I checked with the bank it was over $30 but I didn't think about opening a new account. I guess that's still better than $75 or more. Thanks!

If you (or anyone on your account) can, by any stretch of the imagination, be deemed a "senior", make sure that your bank is aware of it. I don't feel "senior" (at least not most of the time ), but I get checks for free because I am over 50. ~~~ 50 is senior? I thought 50 was the new 30, or something like that:/ ~~~

Seiously--your bank doesn't offer cheques for free??? And I still use cheques quite frequently. massage therapist only takes cash or cheque, same with my barefoot trimmer (horses). We use about three ore four cheques a month, Not alot, but still..... since we never carry cash.
