Long before Cory wrote about "enshittification" in Internet businesses, I cottoned onto the cheque-printing racket, where once you get signed up, especially via any sweetheart deal with your bank/credit union, you get royally reamed for REorders. Point is, cheque printing is one of many lines of business that punish customer loyalty, and jack up prices on follow-up orders to see how stupid the customer is. It was time to reorder, so I logged into [snip name of my bank], and navigated to "reorder cheques", which took me (via sweetheart deal) to Harland Clarke Check Printing as a [my bank] customer. A reorder of 80 cheques would have been $44.90 including shipping. In anticipation of the situation, I have this nice information page: http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/cheques.html So, I picked "Costco Checks (via Harland Clarke Corp.)" Filled out an order as a new customer (but with a Costco membership). Price for 400 cheques was $24.98 including shipping/tax. Expected delivery: May 1st. _That_ is one hell of a savings. ----- Forwarded message from [email protected] ----- Date: 7 Apr 2024 20:52:57 -0500 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Order Confirmation from Harland Clarke Check Printing Thank you for your order!
