      To Whom It May Concern,I am filing this complaint against Deluxe Corporation regarding an unacceptable and unprofessional issue with a recent order of business checks.I purchased these checks for my companys internal financial use, specifically to issue payments to employees and vendors. However, upon receiving the checks, I was shocked and angered to discover that Deluxe took it upon themselves to print their own company logo on MY business checks something I never authorized, never requested, and never would have agreed to.Let me be crystal clear: these are not marketing materials. These are official financial instruments issued by my business. This is a violation of trust and professionalism. I paid for a product to represent my business not to serve as a billboard for ************************* is completely inappropriate for a vendor to use a paid product like this for unsolicited advertising. It cheapens my business image and misrepresents our brand. Worse, it feels like a bait-and-switch: I bought a professional product and instead got one co-branded with a company I dont endorse and didnt agree to promote.I demand the following:A full reprint of the checks without any Deluxe branding at no cost to me.A formal apology from Deluxe for this overreach.A clear explanation of how this was allowed to happen and assurance that this practice will not happen again to other businesses.If this is not resolved immediately and to my satisfaction, I will take further action, including reporting this to other business review platforms and seeking alternative vendors going forward.Sincerely,******* ******** CEO, ******************************

      I ordered checks that were shipped on 3/25 and was told they would arrive within 14 days. It has now been 28 days and the checks have not arrived. Deluxe's website has a phone number for support and encourages you to call if you need help, however the phone line only gives you an option to check the status of your order and says for all other issues to contact your bank. I do not know if my checks were stolen or lost in the mail. It is quite frankly absolutely ridiculous that Deluxe does not ship checks that include personal banking information with tracking information. I have a charge for these checks that I am now having to dispute with my bank as the this company offers zero support after your checks are shipped.

      Ordered replacement checks from my credit union, which uses Deluxe as its provider, forcing you to their site from the credit union's site.Checks arrived and have my correct name, address, and bank routing number.However, the account number on the new ********************** isn't remotely close to my account number. In addition, I haven't been charged for them, which makes me wonder if someone else's account was charged.The company is unreachable on weekends, so for all I know someone could have checks with my correct information and be using them fraudulently. It's unacceptable to be forced to use a provider that makes such a horrible mistake, with no way to reach them.

      I placed an order for checks with DELUXE. Wrong product was sent, without the checks. In reaching out in NOVEMBER, I was informed that correct checks would be sent and I would be credited for the check cover. I called back in DEC, still no refund, told by a supervisor, again, they would remedy the situation. Still no refund for $33. In effect, 4 calls, 2 supervisors and still no refund and accountability on the part of this company. I call and am placed on hold. (***** initially took the call, then a ***** spoke with me, finally a Destiny). I wanted to make the BBB aware of this company and their treatment of customers.

      I would like to file a complaint. I ordered checks from **************** and *********************** ******************** through Deluxe, as well as from *********************************************************. The check is not perforation is on the check, and when I carefully pull it, the check rips in the corner. This has been a major problem for a year and a half. When I pull it carefully, it rips in the left corner. This happens when I order checks from **************** and *************************************, both of whom use your products.

      June 30, 2024 I mailed an order form for check registers to Checks Unlimited along with a check for $13.47. A month later I received the registers along with an invoice stating no payments received and I owed $22.50. The $13.47 check was already cashed by my bank. Assuming the price had increased I mailed a check for the additional $9.03 with a note explaining they had already cashed the $13.47 check. After the $9.03 check was cashed they sent another invoice stating no payment received and $22.50 owed. I called their billing department *************) and spoke to **** **** ***** ************************************************** She claimed they couldnt locate any payment. After I emailed photos of the front of the cashed checks from my bank statement she said they found the $9.03 payment but I still owe $13.47. She wants a photo of the back of the check. I told her ******* no longer returns cashed checks, only a photo of the front. As it stands they claim I still owe $13.47.

      On 8/24/24 I ordered 2 boxes of checks. The order status says they were shipped on 8/29/24. 17 days later and I have not received the shipment. While I would rather speak to someone on the phone to resolve this matter, my efforts to reach someone by phone have been futile. I've called several times, but I have only been able to reach a very annoying automated system with no option to speak to actual person. At this point my only option is to put a stop payment on the each box of checks, which will cost me an additional $64 per the bank. This seems to be a common complaint with Deluxe, so I'm less inclined to believe that orders are getting lost in the mail. At the end of this transaction, I will be out $80 total with no checks to show for it!

      I place orders with Deluxe checks all the time, for many years. The last order of business checks, ( same checks I always order) were horrible. They are super thin, tear in the wrong places, don't tear at the correct place, and this is for the entire order. These checks are expensive and i expect that the company will back another better order with a better quality of check. Last ordered in Feb 2024, but just started using these new ones last month. Tried calling and chatting with company and got transferred twice, to no one that could help.

      Dear BBB. I sent this email July 17 to Checks Unlimited:Re: order #******** Dear Checks Unlimited Staff,My last check order had an error on the numbers at the bottom of the check.June 10 I called and a nice lady said I didn't need to send them back, just destroy them. She also said a refund check for $98.28 would be mailed to my residence.July 1 I called back as I hadn't received the check. I was told to be patient as "these things take time".July 12 I called a gentlemen said he sent an email to ask the status of the refund, and told me to call back.July 17 I called and spoke to ********. After 44 minutes on the phone she finally said I needed to prove I hadn't received the $98.28. I found it odd that the company couldn't verify via the finance billing department that no refund had been issued. But since I want this to be over, I have attached my bank statement from 6/10 through todays date.Requesting check for $98.28 be mailed to me as represented on June 10.Since sending this email on July 17, I have not been able to resolve the issue. I received a blank email from them 7/25. I replied twice asking for the status of my refund, with no response.

      July 1 I called back as I hadn't received the check. I was told to be patient as "these things take time".

      I am a little concerned about direct deposit since there was already an issue with the incorrect info on the check. If possible I would like the refund mailed to me.


      Thank you for your assistance!

      Hello. I see now that a refund is not forthcoming. I hope that for all the hours spent trying to rectify this matter, and despite the frequent contacts, that the matter could have been handled had the phone representatives had more information at their disposal. I also hope that the management at the company can see how poorly their clientele are dealt with. I will never utilize this company, nor ever endorse the business as the customer service has been time consuming and ill advised.

      We have been a customer of ********************** for several years now. We have experienced intermittent issues with their integration with Quickbooks online - specifically, checks not being issued through the system, with no error on our part. Previous signs that would alert our accounting department to an issue would be the failure of a Deluxe specific check number to be assigned to the check in Quickbooks. Most recently, in May 2024, a significant number of checks were not issued. Yet these checks in Quickbooks were assigned Deluxe specific check numbers - hence, our accounting department did not know, until two months later, when banking was reconciled, that a significant number of checks were never actually issued to their recipients. I spoke with ******************* on 7/23 to troubleshoot the issue - he confirmed the checks were never issued - and the only solution would be to cancel those checks and to re-issue them. It took a significant amount of time to re-issue all of the checks to our actors. I specifically asked for a package of free e-checks to be issued to me as a make good for the severe waste of time and resources that our business experienced due to this issue. **** wanted the checks voided on the Deluxe site - which was not previously explained to me - and instead, we deleted them out of Quickbooks - as all of the interface we do with Deluxe is in Quickbooks - not on the Deluxe site. I emailed customer service and also called - making a plea that our business should be issued free checks for future use to compensate for the wasted time and resources we incurred with their issue. **************** wanted more information. At this point, I am reasonably unwilling to spend another 45 minutes providing information and detail on what the issue is. It is already documented. This service has proved to be unreliable and I will be looking into comparable options. For the interim, I am adamant that I am given free checks for future use in an attempt to make me whole.
