2) Add 2 Boxes (400 Checks) of Any Design Checks to cart 3) Use Checks Unlimited coupon Code FYWQ [Exp. 01/30] at checkout 4) Your final price is $8.26 with free shipping. (If you buy 4 boxes of any design checks and use coupon code 18C4 your final price will be $12.38)
PS Free address labels with order too (supposedly, don't have info on this.) May offer them to new customers at site. YMMV

Be Aware, in the past CU has charged regular price if not a first time customer. must not have ordered checks from them or any of their other associated brands(Deluxe, ETC.. or sites. not sure if this applies.

What are the requirements for this? What if you have ordered the checks for your spouse under her name and now I want to order a set for my account, its different bank account and name but still same address.
Checks Unlimited did the same thing to me. The prices are for first time customers only. If you have ordered from them OR one of their differently named companies they will ship and send you a bill for full regular price. I wrote them an angry letter stating I wanted to return the checks if they are going to charge me full price because it was two differently named companies and how was I to know they were the same company or affiliated with each other? I threatened to contact the better business bureau and the state attorney generals office and they dropped the additional charge. But never again will I order from them. Not only that they also messed up my order. I had asked for the checks to have a decorative pattern reflective foil strip across the top and they send me a box with a matte printed design. Costco has limited design selection but their check reprinting is cheap especially during the coupon deals and extra % off because I'm a Costco executive member. I think I paid under $16 for 4 boxes of checks shipped during their last check printing promotion in the passport to savings booklet. My other accounts have free checks from the bank, otherwise I just stick w/ Costco.

thanks for the advice. Guess this is really only good if you are a BRAND SPANKING NEW customer that has never even clicked on their website before. But I agree with you, if the checks are ordered in from their seperate business name, etc, should be considered new because it's off a totally different website.

I ordered from them a while ago through those promotional prices that you find in the Sunday coupons inserts, not off the internet. It would have been totally fine by me to charge me the non first time customer rate IF I ordered from "Checks Unlimited" before and now am trying to order again from "Checks Unlimited" as that would clearly be a 2nd order and not a new customer. However the first time I ordered from some other company name maybe "Checks in the mail" or "Deluxe Checks" or something I forget the name but it wasn't "Checks Unlimited". Then I ordered from "Checks Unlimited." using the coupon price in the Sunday paper inserts.
They sent me the checks (incorrectly w/o the foil design that I paid a couple dollars extra for) AND a bill to pay full price (I think it was $18 per box). Being two totally different names "Checks Unlimited" and "Deluxe Checks" (or whatever it was called) was what I had a problem w/ their business practice. How was I supposed to know they were the same company or affiliated with each other when responding to their coupon offer. They should have also notified me that the price would be higher instead of just shipping the boxes with an increased bill amount. It did state for new customers of "Checks Unlimited" only but didn't list all their sister companies and names.
But yes if the checks are in a different name and account number it should be considered a whole new transaction from a new customer.
I've been meaning to order some checks for a while. Thanks to this, I finally got around to doing it. I've never ordered them online before, so I'm pretty sure I wont run into any of the problems others are reporting regarding the new customer thing.
Also, to those of you wondering why the price is coming out to be 10.83, I'm pretty sure that's the extra price for duplicate checks.
From their website: One-part Personal Top Tear checks: 150 per box Duplicate Personal Top Tear checks: 125 per box One-part Personal Side Tear checks: 150 per box Duplicate Personal Side Tear checks: 125 per box.
