This is a simple matter of ordering checks. The checks came with the wrong acct number. I have spent LITERALLY HOURS on their 'call if there is a problem' number! LITERALLY HOURS!!! And their on-line contact system is a no-show. I've had to order checks from a different source. I would like my money back from this fly-by-night outfit and a red flag about this company put up publicly.Business response

Better Business Bureau: I will accept the refund they are offering. But they canceled the order, not me, and stated in the email they sent me that my check had been shredded. Then I was told to call them. When I did they tried to get more money out of me, I said NO, and I told them to keep my order canceled. Asked again if my check had for sure been shredded and was told yes. Then I find out in a couple of weeks later they had cashed my check. Again I will accept my refund. Thanks for all your help BBB. *******

Checks.com delivered the checks that ordered on 2/8/23 but they never charged my credit card for them. I emailed them 4 times about this billing issue but received no response. Should I now expect a letter from their collections agency with "overdue balance" and maybe some mysterious "mandatory fees" added? It looks to me that either customer service at this company does not exist and those who process payments are incompetent or they all do something that should be reported to and investigated by the ************************ and state attorneys general.Initial Complaint

January 15, 2023 I ordered checks form Checks Unlimited. I ordered 4 boxes because they stated they were 50% off. The order total was $60 and some change when I submitted my order. My credit card was charged $102. I called them and they went into a list of fees that were listed in fine print. I never agreed to the additional items. To top it all off the checks dont even look that great! This is bad business. I will NEVER order from them again!Business response

Hey, what are checks from checks.com back in September. The total is $12.25. Yesterday January 6 I received a notice about eight outstanding charge of $30 that I never paid and they were threatening to call the collections agency.. I threw out the notice because I feel like this is a scam. This is unacceptable. This business should not be in business.Customer response
