Buying Stuff On Line
 

So Saturday I was working and realized I was out of business checks. So I went on line and found the ones I wanted, put in my order and they arrived today. I opened the box and these checks are hugh and they don't even fit in my check book. They are so big my employees will feel like they have won a golf tournament every time they get paid. I'm not even sure if the bank will accept them. So I call the place and they said too bad as they had their sizes listed. What are some of your experiences buying stuff on line.

I usually read the descriptions of what I'm buying. Never really had an issue.

I never have a problem getting things online. I go to Amazon and Cheaper Than Dirt. I use paypal from my account and check it like a hawk.

I saw the three checks to a page design with duplicates and never really thought about the size of the checks. I figure it was like papper and they use a standard size. I didn't know I was buying checks for a golf tournament.

We need some pics of FD filling out a giant check and handing it over to an employee lol

Just think of the Tiger Woods comercial when he ask the clerk do you accept checks and he holds up one of those big checks.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

lol.. one time a customer of mine at a store that I worked at did the same thing when ordering checks.. the machine didn't want to read it, had to do the whole manual thing, what a pain

I love to buy one of these to celebrate my parents B-Day gift to me each year. They always send a card with $20 in it. I like to take a picture of me holding a giant check written out for $20 and send it to the rest of my family as a joke. Why they send me $20 is beyond me...I am 36 have a career etc...just a card will do.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

are these just for payroll or all business expenses?

For everything but I only write a few checks a month. I pay all my bills by credit card then just write one check to the credit card co. So I guess I write 5 to 6 checks a month.

I made a similar mistake the first time I bought something online. Back in college I went to buy my dad a birthday present. He has UMD football season tickets and loves to tailgate so I thought I wanted to get him one of those tin buckets that you keep beer and ice in, like this:

But what I actually paid like $30 dollars for (and this was when I was a broke college student so that was a TON of money) was a metal version of this:

The lesson: read the description. And don't drink and online shop.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

I buy alot of stuff on line just didn't think of checking the size descrition for checks. Now I bet they want $89 for a binder to hold these checks.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

sometimes when i try to save a ton of money for clothes shopping, i will get an odd size etc.

Usually just retrun it.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

Never had a bad experience buying stuff online and I have been doing it since 1998. I always buy from reputable storefronts and read the fine prints.

Just tell your employees "It's inflation".

The fine print on these checks is 1 inch tall. Anybody have a good source for those extra large Manila Envelopes that I'm going to need so I can mail off my bills.

Are you going to have to hand write all checks now, or do you have a blueprint plotter?

What FD isn't telling you guys is, that in addition to the FD Sckool of Speling and Grammer, he's now expanded and is opening a new school for training in On-line Procurement & Contracting. I'm sure several of the gov't agencies down here will be signing up soon. :)

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

Well how about that...instead of working against President Obama, firstdown will be working FOR him!

No goverment agency will want my services because I saved money on the checks and even got bigger checks.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

just leave it in a lockbox or safe at work man, no need to buy a carrier for it if you never use them

You can do them in crayon now.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

Ok this too funny. I just got an email from the company thanking me for my order and just by chance they had I could buy a binder for these checks for $29.99. Boy I wonder how the he!! they knew I needed a new binder? Probably just a wild guess.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
 

lol

break out the measure and give us some dimensions.. or link up to the item page that you ordered
