Just called my bank to reprint checks. Damn, it is close to $40 for 100 checks. That is one session fee at an MP. I paid around $20 the last time I printed, althhough it has been a while. Can we print from outside vendors or just have to go through the bank?

Oh........and we live in Canada.........it is cheques........not checks
I don't :) I am a visitor doing business here. In the US, it is much easier to find a third party vendor.

Thanks for the info.
 
NEB's is the Best

I never order from the banks anymore. Thw few times I use cheques I order from Nebs, at www.nebs.ca, as far as I'm concerned these guys are the best in the business.
They also have a "Cheque Guarantee" so that when the new standards come into play in December 2006 they will credit you for any unused cheques.
Having said that I use very leiitle cheques doing almost everything online either through my Bank's website or there is a third party service which caters to Business & Personal clients. For business you can receive payments from your customers and pay your suppliers electronically straight into yours or thier bank. Go to www.telpay.ca this will cut down on processing, collections, cheque writing, mailing etc. The only thing I still use cheques for is to pay my rent and the occasional purchase where credit or debit is not accepted.
 
Direct deposit, online bill pay, online bank transfers, credit cards, etc.

How many paper checks do you really need these days? 100 sounds like plenty for these times.

I do all that. The main thing is to pay rent and some occasional places where it is required. I agree 100 is a lot these days but then 50 was $35 and 100 was $38. It took me 5 years to finish the previous 100.
 
I have ordered computer cheques from Nebs since 1991 (tractor feed back then and now laser), always found them competitive copmared to banks, and never had a problem. My first order of laser cheques came slightly damaged in the box(corners were bent) I called them to ask if they thought there would be a problem witt getting stuck or jamed in the printer, they told me to discard them and had new order sent to me by courier 2 days later
