Scam- Double bull.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Checks deluxe has sent emails and mailed a bill trying to charge me for the checks I bought and funds were taken directly from my checking account when I placed my order.

They ripped me off

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have been ordering from them since 2007. I have never had a problem until now. I ordered checks, stamps and deposit. I have never received my checks and they couldn't find my order. They are a scam now

Shipment going to a different city than my location

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered checks and upon receiving the UPS notification, I noticed that my name and street address were correct, but the city was listed as an Indian Reservation. I called Checks Unlimited, and they said the problem was on the UPS side. After several times of contacting a live person at UPS, they advised that it was the senders' problem but did get the shipment to be held at a UPS location, so I could pick them up. I then called Checks Unlimited again, and they said they could do nothing about it as it was a UPS problem (not them). Well, I picked up my order and the checks have the correct information, but the inside cardboard and the shipping label (prepared by Checks Unlimited) have the Indian Reservation as the address. I called Checks Unlimited again today, and they said there is no way that this could be. I wanted to send them the cardboard and shipping label and was told that was not going to be necessary as it was not their problem. So I said it sounds like you don't care, and they advised "Oh we do care, but there is nothing we can do about it". They just lost a long time customer.

Deceptive business practice

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered 4 boxes of checks due to a promo where you buy 4 and get the 4th box free. I ordered these online and on checkout my total showed $37.98. When they deducted from my checking acct. they deducted $64.37! When I called them about this I was told about $13.95 shipping and an $8.95 UPS tracking fee which I didn't order. Also some type of handling fee? Why weren't these amounts included in my order total?? They had no answer. Agreed to credit me back $8.95 UPS tracking fee, but still out money. I used to order from this company all the time with no problems. I don't know what happened but I told them I won't be ordering from them again. If you don't want to be ripped off, don't order from this company.

From the fees you describe them as charging, it would appear the charges are rather excessive. A UPS tracking fee, for example?

As a side note, you might reconsider how you pay for items like this.

Allowing someone to just take money from your bank account can be dangerous to the health of said bank account. A credit card is much better.

Ordered checks - then got a bill for another $55.76 AFTER receiving checks

Updated by user May 08, 2020

I never heard anything else from Checks Unlimited. I didn't expect to - based on the customer service person I talked to, the whole issue was my fault because I was supposed to have verified with them that I could use the "new customer" special pricing.

I had ordered from them before - it was in 2015 according to their records, so technically I wasn't a new customer, but 5 years ago? I will NEVER order from them again.

Original review Apr 08, 2020
I ordered checks using one of those promotional things that come in the mail. I'd had it a couple of months and apparently the "promotional offer" had expired. I'm 65; those dates are too small to read. Got the checks in the mail; then a week later got an invoice for $55.76 - which would have brought my total for 4 boxes of checks to a whopping $77.26. When I called the company, the woman I talked to was snippy but did agree to cut that $55.76 in half. I still had to pay $49.38 total for those checks but I didn't want the aggravation of dealing with it any longer. I will NEVER do business with these people again and I recommend no one does.

Check to make sure every pack of checks are counted for after getting them.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I always purchase my checks with checks unlimited. Never a problem. This last time I ordered four boxes of checks. When I got them, I checked out all the information on the checks as it had changed. Never thought to check and make sure all the packs of checks were there. I now have discovered that I have three packs of checks missing. I emailed them and have not gotten any response nor reimbursement for the missing checks. Very disappointed and if I don't get any response, I will NEVER order checks thru them again. Now I have to worry about someone having access to my account because of the missing checks. Did any employee take them or was it just an honest mistake. Guess I will never know because no one cares enought to email me back.

Ordered 4 boxes, used code 2 get 50% off making order $30. & change. Then it tells me my total is $50.& change & at final checkout they had added things I had not checked, making my TOTAL over $80.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
This company is so deceitful. They charge exorbitant shipping charges and add items on to your order that you don't want and give you no option to delete them. I would determine that to be a scam myself.

I always order from them, and never had a problem until I received them today! I have ordered the cat checks in the past, and they were vibrant!

Now It looks like they were running out of ink...

I'm so disappointed I emailed them, and am hoping to hear back! If this isn't resolved, I'll never buy from them in the future!

Shoddy Business at Best

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Sketchy Business at Best. It took about three weeks to get business check blanks. I ordered online and had to call them back to see what was holding up the order. After I finally got the order and I ordered 100 check blanks I only got one check register in one box and none in the other box. I emailed them to be told I needed to call in between certain business hours. Seriously I ordered this online you should be able to communicate online. I called in waiting in queue on my time again, only to be told you have to pay $2.50 extra for the checkbook registers. I have never paid extra for a checkbook register. Needless to say i am not waiting or paying anymore. This is a rinky-dink company with horrible customer service. They don’t care about keeping customers.

DO NOT buy checks from checks unlimited

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
It takes them at least 7 days just to print your checks (only ordered one box of checks. The cost of printing is reasonable, although slow process, but then expedited printing and then expedited shipping makes the cost way too high for one box of checks. If you don't pay the extra fees, 100 checks will take over 21 days just to get checks. I will NOT order checks from this company ever again.

Wont print checks for Etrade bank/brokerage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have ordered checks for my brokerage banking/checking account at ETrade with others, no problem. Put in an order with Checks Unlimited, send a voided check as directed. Order accepted. Nearly 3 weeks later I received a form letter (snail mail) saying they would not full-fill my order. No email, phone call or declination at point-of-sale, just a form letter weeks after order acceptance. Really poor customer service - will never use again even though I re-order checks for other accounts on a regular basis. Back to the others.

Do not order from them!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
They used to be the best company to order from, but now they are terrible. The quality of the checks are very poor and rip when you try tearing them off the packet. I will not be ordering from them again.

HIDDEN CHARGES SCAM

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered several boxes of checks from Checks Unlimited thru a flyer received in the mail. The checks and shipping time were fine. After about a month, I began receiving notices that I owed more money. BS....I paid the amount stated in the ad. Their customer service person said that the offer was for first time customers. Whoever heard of a company that sends the product if it's not paid for???? I told them that if i didn't quality for the offer, that's on them to verify before they ship my order. I have no idea if I ever used this company before, but I certainly won't use them again! I told Checks Unlimited their next request for false charges will be reported to every consumer protection agency available. Beware.......

Preferred solution: Checks Unlimited needs to verify if customers qualify for the discount before shipping any products. Because they don't it appears they are trying to drum up extra charges.

I have seen other complaints about this company's tactics. Ignore the bill and, as you indicated get your future checks elsewhere. Everything is either a trick or a scam nowadays.

Total Ripoff

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I computed my cost for two boxes of checks, shipping and handling and EZ Shield to be $39.78 (based on their order form). I was shocked to see $78.00 deducted from my checking account! I called to complain and was told "that sounds about right". Never again!
