Duplicate checks are manufactured into pads comprised of alternating sheets of carbonless check paper and lighter identically numbered plain paper. The carbonless check paper automatically records every transaction onto the plain paper to create a permanent reference copy. Our entire personal check line is available in your choice of one-part or duplicate checks.

Side-Tear Checks are bound into pads on the left side rather than across the top. Many customers believe Side-Tear checks are easier to tear off of the check pad.

A Side-Tear Converter is a vinyl insert that will convert your Top Tear checkbook cover into a Side-Tear checkbook cover in two easy steps.

Step #1    Insert the Side-Tear converter flap into the bottom section of your checkbook cover.

Step #2    Slide the cardboard backing of your checks into the pocket of the converter.

To determine when you could expect to receive your order, you need to consider when you placed the order and the shipping option you selected. We use the following equation:

Time to Verify Account Information + Time to Produce Order + Delivery Method Ship Time = Total Delivery Time

Example: A check order that has been verified & produced (2 to 5 days) and is sent via standard delivery (7 to 14 days) will arrive in 9 to 19 business days.

Domestic orders can be sent via Standard, Trackable, Guaranteed 2-Day, or by Overnight Shipping. These selections may be made on the delivery options page of the site order process. Use the following table to calculate your total ship time.

PLEASE NOTE: Accessories are shipped separately. Expect to receive accessory items in 3 to 4 weeks.

*Domestic Exceptions apply to APO/FPO, AK, HI, PR, USVI and Guam. The projected delivery time for these destinations is 15 to 20 days after verification and printing.

Please allow up to 2 weeks to receive your Visa Gift Card.

As a matter of protecting your security, we cannot ship check orders to a different address than the one imprinted on the order. This is one of the ways Checks Unlimited ensures the security and protection of your personal and financial information.

19 seconds for the song/ 10 seconds for the sound

Yes. The song/sound will stop at the end of the 19/10 seconds. It will also stop when you close the checkbook cover that you have the Sound Insert placed in.

The Sound Insert comes with 2 pieces. One part has the speaker which the sound is played and the other part has a magnet component which triggers the sound to start and stop. The Sound Insert will play when the 2 pieces are apart. When the 2 pieces are together the sound will not play.

The Sound Insert will come with instructions pre-printed on the insert. Place the part with the arrow pointing up in the top flap of your checkbook cover. Place the part with the arrow pointing down in the bottom flap of your checkbook cover.

Yes. The Sound Insert should fit in any standardized checkbook cover.

Yes. It should work in a larger wallet/checkbook cover that includes your credit cards.

No. The magnets should not de-magnetize your debit/credit cards.

The Sound Insert is disposable and does not have any special requirements for disposing.

The songs/sounds are not available online or through the mail until 2009. You can listen to a limited number of the sounds through the special email (if the customer received the targeted email) otherwise you will have to wait until 2009 to hear the songs/sounds on www.ChecksUnlimited.com.

Check back periodically. New songs/sounds are being evaluated.

No, not at this time. But we are looking into new ways to expand the Sound Insert.
