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 Answer

I placed an order for Business Checks. I received a notice that the checks were delivered. However, the delivery was on a Saturday "in or at mailbox" ********** is closed Saturdays and there is no external mailbox. I contacted *** who said the delivery was completed by ***** **** tole me to contact the shipper. After multiple attempts to reach Check Unlimited, I received not a single reply. These are business checks with secure banking information on them. Shipping was not free and I believe an delivery of checks should require a signature upon delivery. I do not know if Checks Unlimited can locate the missing checks or will send a replacement order since they do not reply. I have since ordered from another company and am seeking a full refund including shippingBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have not received the refund. Since the business did not respond to my messages until the BBB became involved, I will wait to see if they do in fact issue a refund before making further judgements. I am still a bit confused as to why the original tracking stated Delivered at or near mail box and business now state package was undeliverable?Business Response

1.) I have not received the refund.
Refund was expedited. It was requested on 8/20. Refund was processed this morning 8/29. A refund file will be sent to the bank and the bank will pull the file in per their schedule (daily, weekly).

Our A/R team thoroughly researched this complaint. They found that we only charged ************ credit card one time. The charge was on the original order on 6/6/22. The corrected reprint on 6/22/22 was at no-charge as promised.
We apologize for any misunderstanding.

I am rejecting this response because:
Although they charged me only once. They charged me twice the amount and removed my order from the internet so that I cannot access it. There is no way I would order checks for $93 on a fixed income. That's why I ordered from them, to save money. ****** learned. But not happy. Thank you.Initial Complaint

My name is Art ******* I took Checks' offer for printed checks. I completed the questionnaire and all Bank Information listing ******* Bank in *******, ********. They sent me some documents that were written against *********** I'd have difficulty locating their paperwork, but, I don't have a account there. When I received the order, I was frustrated and, due to my AADD and being w/o a stable residence, I didn't have access to respond beyond a call I made expressing my dissatisfaction. They have asserted that I have used and refused to pay, but their product is so worthless it wasn't worth the time. I need to state that thehad no issues with sending a credit report complaint on my payment delinquency. It is my assertion that I am not responsible for Checks' poor assurance of quality, their lack of proofing nor their submission of documents that don't reflect my basic document requests.Business Response

I ordered checks from them on 5/3/2022. They stated the cost would be $54.89 and I was charged $70 on my credit card. When I called to ask about the extra charges they seemed to not know exactly what was ordered and could give an itemized receipt when requested. They left the surprise charges and have refused to make it right. They have committed fraud by adding surprise charges, not honoring coupon codes, adding services after I removed them, and refusing to make it right. They don't send receipts after orders so I don't have a paper trail. I think they do this on purpose.Business Response

In researching Mr. ***** internet order, I see it was resolved by refunding two amounts, totaling his original cost.
On the web, the order cost is broken down for the customer before they choose their payment method. (I just sent ************ an invoice of this order.)
- Comments placed on the order on 5/10 indicate that ************ forgot to use his discount code, so when he called customer service, we refunded that amount.
- Next, on June 17th, the remaining amount of Mr. ***** cost was refunded.
