That looks like a really good bargain. thx.
Banks hose people on checks because most people think they have to get from bank.
I get mine from Costco.
I'd have to check (so to speak) but I believe that 600 checks would last me for the rest of my life.(that's 600 single checks -- this should last me a long time!)

I spent 27 years in the check printing business.I used this link and ordered more checks.
The good news, for the price of the check, it was 4 boxes (that's 600 single checks -- this should last me a long time!) for $17.82.
The bad news, shipping. It costed $18.96 for trackable shipping (8-10 business days). (I could have went for the non-trackable shipping for about $11).
Still cheaper than getting them from the bank.
I haven't paid a dime for checks in over a decade, I think.
Those are coming up on their 20th birthday...I still have some that indicate the date as 19__!
Will you take a rain check?Party @ your place?
My old employer thanks you for the extra $5 you donated to their bottom line by selecting the 'tracked' shipping option. Unless you have a known problem with mail theft, save your money.Just got new checks from USAA, free, $6 for 'tracked' shipping. 200 checks. That will last us for about 30 years, give or take a year or so.
Yeah, those paper things called "checks" are for the folks who go, "eh...a computer, what's that?"
Back in the early 80's a small-town banker called me up to ask if I would help him figure out why the checks from one of the businesses that had an account with him would never process. He brought me a stack of checks saying his processor wouldn't read them and he was tired of having his folks hand-key them.Heck, back before epay, I used to print checks with my computer.
There was a crook who printed deposit forms like the ones for general use in the bank. Although customers could write in their account number, the magnetic account numbers printed at the bottom belonged to the crook. He placed them in the bank, and everyone who deposited money was unwittingly depositing it into the his account.
I don't know how long he got away with it.
