Just opened a pack of checks. Theres 2 books of checks in a pack now. Not long ago you got 6 books in a pack. Ordered straight from the bank. How can checks go up 3x? Same price, 3x less checks. Getting screwed every way we turn these days.

Same here. pissed me off same as you. I dont write many checks but I still write about the same amount of checks today as I did three years ago. Now I'm getting charged the same for fewer checks.

I think I have 100 checks.
Should be enough to last me until I assume room temperature.

GO talk to your bank. If you don't like their answer go talk to another bank. Mine was going to charge me a service charge. They change their mind when I would go talk to another bank, I have been with mine for 40 years.

It’s pitiful. They’re terribly high and fewer, plus it usually takes 14-21 days to get them.

Last time I ordered checks I did it online and not the bank, lots of checks and cheap, but this was several years ago. I never go through bank for checks.

I think we got 8 books of checks for like $30 with shipping and everything. When they came in I told her those would probably last us the rest of out lives.

It was my second or third time to do this. It is still through Harland, the most popular check printer that most banks use so I felt relatively safe ordering them. They are nothing special to look at, I'll tell ya that but no one cares. Checks, which are somewhat obsolete now will likely be before we can get these used up!

We get two books of checks now also. Each book has 2 deposit slips and you don’t even get a new check register.lol

Luckily, I can’t remember the last time I wrote a check so my pack is going to last a long time!

I write one check per year, lease dues, and I used my last one for this season. I think this checkbook lasted 10-12 years. Thanks for the reminder to order new ones. Economies of scale or just pushing to eliminate checks are my thoughts on the price increase.

Mine are free for my personal account, but for my business account, I order from Quicken. Way cheaper. I get regular books, but I also like the ones that fit in a 3 ring binder.

I always just call them and tell them i need checks. I write atleast one a month, water bill. Everything else i pay online or autodraft. I reckon i go through a book every year or so.

Last time I ordered checks there was only 2 books but it seemed like there were more checks in each book than what it used to be. I think until the last ones I got we used to get 4 check books when ordering new ones but can't remember for sure.
