Default Ordering personnal checks

The bank(s) seem to charge a very high amount for additional checks, last batch was $40-50 for ~120 checks.

Online these are much less, HOWEVER, in looking at the reviews some of these sites have really bad reputations.

So I am asking fellow villagers if they have used an alternative to bank supplied checks that were a reasonable cost. Please feel free to us PM, if you do not want reply in public.

Thank you,
VT

I used Walmart.com. Had used vistaprint for a club account, paid with a never used debit card, and it was compromised soon thereafter, so, I shy away from vistaprint.

Thank you, I saw VistaPrint had this as a service, and we have used them for our villages cards. Will look into this option. VT

I've used Checks Unlimited for years. The paper quality is great.

Between online bill pay and debit cards, I can't remember the last time I ordered checks.

I've never ordered checks from a company other than my bank. I've always worried about giving some unknown entity my banking information. Does that worry anyone else?

I use online banking so I write very few checks. I just like to have some on hand!
