Checks in the Mail: Personal Checks for $5 + Free Shipping for New Customers

January 10, 2013 by 16 Comments

New Checks in the Mail customers get a box of personal checks for $5 + free shipping when you use the coupon code BESTOFFER. This offer is for singles, but you can get duplicates for just a dollar more with this coupon code.

Do note that you will need to select the “non-trackable mail” shipping option, which is also the slowest, to get free shipping. Otherwise shipping starts at $6.95.

With over 250 personal check designs, you’re sure to find one that appeals to you. You can also “Shop by Design” (on the left-hand side of the page) to quickly find designs that fit your personal style.

I don’t know about you, but I (Laura) seem to have trouble remembering which year it is when I write a check for the first, oh, three months of the year or so. Anyone else have that issue?

Your turn: Where do you find the best deals on personal checks?

About Laura Wales

I'm a former English teacher turned avid deal shopper. Learning how to shop the sales and use coupons has given me the ability to work from home while caring for my two young children. Thanks for reading!

    Laura, Do you know how long this deal will last? Thanks!

  • Kate

    Good price. I ran out of checks a couple weeks ago, shopped around, and best I could find for 2 boxes was about $14.50 (Bradford)

  • Alexis

    Great deal! I've been meaning to order checks ever since I moved (2yrs ago). Haha! Just got the most beautiful Dolphin & whale ones ordered up.

    Thank you!

    $6.44 with tax for checks with duplicates, and very timely too–I have one check left!

    As a former bank teller…

    When the checks arrive, look at your routing number on the deposit tickets. It should be different than the routing number on the checks. Many of the discount check printing companies would print the same routing number. This can cause a delay at the teller line if the bank teller has scanning abilities. If not at the teller line, it could cause delay of your account being credited in the back office.

    If the checks arrive with the same routing number, please do not use those deposit tickets.

    I personally haven't wrote a check in over 5 years. Too scary, your account is on every check. Think how many people come in contact with that one check when a bill is paid. No thank you.

      I am not sure how you pay for things at your kids school without checks. I am not sending cash. I want backup to say that it was paid.

    Marne – The email we received from Checks in the Mail did not state an expiration date.

    My child is not in school yet. But I just checked their website, and we can pay via check or online payment from a credit card or paypal for anything from athletic activities to lunch, etc. Maybe more schools will go to online payments in the future.

  • Marne

    Thanks, Laura! I ordered some today and it was still working. It's sure nice to pay less than what the bank charges!

  • Marne

    Lisa, Why would the routing number on the deposit tickets be different? If it's for your checking account, I would think the numbers should be the same. Can you explain how they are supposed to be different? I just don't understand why they would be different if they are for the same account. Thanks!

    There's usually a convenience fee when paying online for school fees, hot lunch, etc. For us, a fee of some amount applies no matter if paid by check or credit card. We've dealt with three different vendors in the two school districts and the fees applied to all three.

    The offer is still live. I just ordered 1 box of duplicates for $6.00.

    • Marne

      I got my checks in the mail today 1-23-13! They look great! Regular price for one box is $17.99 for singles. The $5 is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this deal, Laura!

        Marne – Awesome! Thanks for reporting back. :)

    • Marne

      Lisa, I just got my checks today and the routing number on the deposit tickets IS different. Thanks for telling us to check!

  • Marne

    Lisa – I got my checks in the mail yesterday and you are right, the deposit tickets do have a different routing number! Thanks for letting us know to check!
