Step-by-Step Guide for First-Time Reorder

Why Reordering Is Easier Than Your First Order

If you've already ordered checks online once, reordering is significantly faster and easier. Your banking information, personalization details, and design preferences are typically saved in your account, meaning you can complete a reorder in just a few minutes. However, your first reorder still involves a few decisions: Should you stick with the same design or try something new? Should you order the same quantity or stock up? This guide walks you through the entire process step by step, ensuring your first reorder goes smoothly and saves you money.

Your first reorder is quick when you know what to expect.

Before You Start: What You'll Need

Before beginning your reorder, gather the following items to make the process seamless:

• Your previous order confirmation: This contains your order number, design name, and personalization details — useful if you want to reorder the exact same checks.
• A current check from your existing box: Verify that your banking information hasn't changed. If you've switched banks or opened a new account, you'll need to update your routing and account numbers.
• Your account login credentials: If you created an account during your first order, have your username and password ready. If you checked out as a guest, you can start a new order from scratch.
• A current coupon code: Check our Coupons & Deals page for active promo codes before you start. Having a code ready ensures you don't forget to apply it at checkout.

Step 1: Log In or Start a New Order

Navigate to the Checks Unlimited website and log in to your account if you have one. Your previous orders will be listed in your account dashboard, and you can often click a "Reorder" button next to your last order to automatically populate your cart with the same product. This is the fastest path — it takes you directly to checkout with all your previous selections intact.

If you don't have an account or prefer to start fresh, simply browse the check designs as you did during your first order. The process is identical to a first-time order, but you'll be more familiar with the interface and options.

Step 2: Verify Your Banking Information

This is the most critical step in the reorder process. Even if you're reordering the exact same checks, take a moment to verify that your banking information is still correct. Compare the routing number, account number, and bank name on your reorder against a current check from your existing box. If you've changed banks, opened a new account, or moved, you'll need to update this information before completing your order.

Step 3: Choose to Reorder or Change Your Design

One of the advantages of reordering is the opportunity to switch designs. If you loved your previous design, stick with it — there's no reason to change. But if you're ready for something new, your reorder is the perfect time to explore different options. Consider these factors when deciding:

• Were you happy with the previous design? If it felt too busy, too plain, or didn't match your style, try something different this time.
• Do you want matching accessories? If you've acquired a new checkbook cover or address labels since your last order, you might want a design that coordinates.
• Has your situation changed? If you've started a small business or changed your banking habits, you might want to switch from single to duplicate checks, or from personal to business format.

Step 4: Review Personalization Details

Your personalization — the name, address, font, and any monogram or icon printed on your checks — carries over from your previous order if you're reordering the same design. If you're switching designs, you'll need to re-enter or confirm these details. Take this opportunity to verify that your name and address are spelled correctly and that you're using a legible font.

If you've moved since your last order, update your address. Your checks should display your current address so that recipients can reach you and so that the address matches your bank's records.

Step 5: Apply Coupon Codes

Reorders are eligible for the same coupon codes and promotions as first-time orders. Before completing checkout, check our Coupons & Deals page for current promo codes. Enter the code in the coupon field during checkout and verify that the discount is applied to your order total.

If you're a returning customer and subscribed to the email newsletter, check your inbox for exclusive reorder discounts. These are often sent a few weeks before your previous order would typically run out, timed to coincide with when you'd need to reorder.

Step 6: Complete Checkout and Save Your Confirmation

Review your order summary one final time: check type, quantity, design, personalization, shipping address, and total cost (including any applied discounts). Once everything looks correct, complete your payment and save the confirmation email. Your confirmation contains your order number, which you'll need if you want to track the shipment or make changes before it ships.

Most reorders ship within 1–3 business days and arrive within 7–14 days, depending on the shipping method you select. If you're running low on checks, consider expedited shipping to avoid running out before your new box arrives.

Conclusion

Your first reorder of checks is a straightforward process that's faster and easier than your initial order. By logging in to your account, verifying your banking information, deciding whether to keep or change your design, reviewing your personalization, applying a coupon code, and saving your confirmation, you'll complete the process in minutes. Remember to always verify your banking details before submitting — a quick check prevents costly mistakes. And don't forget to check for coupon codes before checkout to maximize your savings on every reorder.
