Need to order checks: which address?

[Deleted]

Just get the new address. In the few checks you'll right between then and now, nobody will care.
If they ask, just explain, most people are good about it. It all goes back to your bank more than your address anyways. I walked around for checks for 2 years with my old address. I just crossed out and rewrote where it mattered, left it where it didn't. No one seemed to mind.

I would order with the new address.

Our checks still have our old address from 3 years ago on them. We never write checks, so it's taking a while to use them up. If it bothers you, just cross out the address and put your current address on whatever checks you write between now and when you close. That's usually what I do to have our current address on there.

New address. You won't get them in a week unless you rush order them.

I ran out of checks like 5 weeks ago and got new ones 3 weeks ago, ordered new ones with the new address and have been paying bills with them since.

How are you ladies getting checks with your new address? I tried to order new checks just before I closed/moved and they would only mail them to the address on my checks. I obviously couldn't get mail at my (soon to be) new house so I had to wait until after we closed to place my order.

We ordered ours to the new house. Our bank did not require us to mail them to the address on the checks, just to a current address on the account.

Our bank will print a small number of checks if we run out. Maybe do that to tide you over before the move.

I don't order through the bank (they're overpriced, the own downside of having a small credit union) and I buy from like deluxe checks or something. I can't remember. They gave me the option to ship to a different address.
