Short answer: very few printers deliver a new box of checks the next day after you order. Carousel Checks and Bank Checks Plus offer Next Day Air in 1 to 2 business days, but that clock starts after processing. Checks For Less ships the first 100 business checks overnight if you order before 10am Eastern and pay for rush printing. If you need a check today, ask your bank for counter checks or print one yourself on blank check stock. Details checked October 20, 2026.

Need a check today?

No mail-order printer helps if the payment is due this afternoon. Two options work the same day:

  • Counter checks from your bank. Chase prints a page of 3 personal checks at a branch for $3, and Wells Fargo charges $3 per sheet of three. Our counter checks guide covers the fees and the catches.
  • Print your own. With check printing software and blank check stock already in the office, you print a check in minutes. See our check printing software guide.

A cashier’s check or money order also works for many one-off payments; Chase and Wells Fargo charge $10 for a cashier’s check and $5 for a money order.

Fastest delivery by printer

Delivery options listed on each printer’s own pages, checked October 20, 2026:

Printer Fastest option listed What it covers Cost
Carousel Checks Next Day Air, 1 to 2 business days Shipping time only; processing time is extra Shown at checkout
Bank Checks Plus Next Day Air, 1 to 2 business days Shipping time only; processing time is extra Shown at checkout
Checks For Less Checks Tomorrow: 1-day rush plus Next Day Air First 100 business checks overnight, rest by Ground $55 rush per item plus $35 overnight for 100 checks
Checks Unlimited (personal) In-Plant Rush plus trackable delivery Ready to ship within 2 business days after verification; trackable delivery 7 to 11 business days in total $6.99 rush
Checks Unlimited (business) Secure trackable delivery plus In-Plant Rush Delivery 3 to 6 business days after processing and printing Shown at checkout

The pattern is the same everywhere: a fast shipping method does not speed up printing. Pay for rush printing where it exists, and order early in the day.

Both list the same delivery menu on their product pages: Next Day Air in 1 to 2 business days, 2nd Day Air in 2 to 3, Ground in 2 to 5, Trackable in 3 to 7 and USPS Priority in 7 to 10 business days. Carousel notes that the delivery time frame does not include processing time. The checks themselves stay cheap: Carousel Blue Safety checks cost $20.00 for a box of 100 and Bank Checks Plus lists a box of singles at $22.59, so even with express shipping a box costs less than many bank orders.

For business accounts the same delivery table covers laser checks: Carousel top laser checks cost $53.00 for 100, and Bank Checks Plus top laser checks cost $39.54 for 100.

Checks Unlimited In-Plant Rush

Checks Unlimited personal checks such as Blue Classic at $23.49 for 80 list three speeds: untrackable delivery in up to 15 business days, trackable delivery in 7 to 11 business days, and In-Plant Rush for $6.99, which gets the order ready to ship within 2 business days after verification. Combine In-Plant Rush with trackable delivery for the fastest result. Current codes are on the Checks Unlimited special offers page.

On the Checks Unlimited business site, desk set and 3-on-a-page business checks list standard delivery in 7 to 14 business days and secure trackable delivery in 3 to 6 business days after processing and printing, with In-Plant Rush offered at checkout.

Checks For Less Checks Tomorrow

Checks For Less is the closest thing to true next-day checks, for business orders. Its Checks Tomorrow service is available for laser and manual checks, deposit slips and starter kits. Place the order before 10am Eastern time and choose both 1-day Rush Production and Next Day Air Express Saver at checkout. It ships a partial order of 100 checks by UPS Next Day Air and sends the rest of the order by UPS Ground. Its shipping page lists rush production at $55 per item and overnight delivery of 100 checks at an additional $35.00. Personal checks take 7 to 10 business days there, with no production rush. Our Checks For Less review has the full fee table.

Print checks yourself

For a business that writes checks every week, printing in-house removes the wait. Carousel blank top laser checks cost $49.50 for 500, and software such as ezCheckPrinting ($59 one time) prints the bank details and MICR line on them. Blank stock ships with the same delivery menu as printed checks, so keep a supply on hand before you need it. Our blank check stock guide compares the formats.

How to get checks fast for less

  • Reorder when you open your last pad or book, not your last check. A standard order then arrives in time.
  • Order early on a business day. Rush cutoffs, such as 10am Eastern at Checks For Less, decide whether printing starts today.
  • Keep the routing and account numbers handy; a wrong digit means a reprint and another wait.
  • Pay for speed on a small order, then order the full supply at standard delivery.
  • Use a counter check or cashier’s check for a single urgent payment instead of paying for overnight shipping on a full order.

Our guide to reordering checks walks through each step of an online order.
