I ordered new checks today. We don't really write many checks any more. So much can be done online - paying bills, sending money to people. The bank will even send checks to people or businesses that don't accept electronic payments. But, once in a while, we need to write a check, and we only have a couple left for that account.
So, I found a site that offered buy one box of checks, get one free, and I ordered - only to realize that the free box didn't automatically get added to my order. No, I had to actually order
2 boxes, and one of those 2 boxes would be free. I called customer service immediately, only to find out that there was nothing they could do. Online orders go directly to the printer.
There are 120 checks in a box, meaning that one box will last us
forever. And I did save about $3 since I didn't have to pay the service/handling fee for that second box, but it's still going to bother me that
I messed up. Nobody actually gives out trophies for doing everything perfectly, but that doesn't stop me from feeling bad when I don't do something
right.
In all honesty, not spending an extra $3 on a box of checks that we don't need probably was the right thing to do. (Am I just trying to convince myself?)
I see i have been having an influence on you!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe do most everything online like you. But every so often there is a need to write a check. Last time, a couple months ago, I ordered them from the bank. Two boxes for $43.00. I will never do that again!! They will last me forever, though !
