I ordered new bank checks from Unique Products with Kia's photo on them.

At first there was a bit of a snag. I received an email from them stating that the address I wanted on the checks had to match the billing address.

(I use my parents address for my checks)

So I cancelled that order and re-ordered so that the addresses matched. That order went thru and I had verification that the previous order had been cancelled.

When I got home from work yesterday my checks had arrived. Horrah!

I loaded up Kia into the car and headed over to my parents only to find that I had a box of checks there too!

Sure enough, they had printed checks using both addresses (after they told me they couldn't) AND I was charged for both.

I called them up and the customer service lady was SO NICE! She credited my Visa and said I could use whichever box of checks I wanted and I could dispose of the others as I saw fit.

The ironic thing is that the checks with my parents address look much better than the ones sent to my apartment.

Take a look!

Eaton Rapids addy:


Williamston addy:


Side by side:


The Williamston ones have a much more reddish hue, is a bit blurry, and Kia's eyes are a bit more white than blue.

The Eaton Rapids ones are sharper and more to Kia's coloring.

Despite the slight snafu, I'm happy! And I get to have checks with the address I wanted in the first place.
