HOW TO ORDER BY CHECK ONLINE

(NOTE: AT PRESENT, ONLINE ORDERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO RESIDENTS OF THE U.S., CANADA, PUERTO RICO, AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS)

IT'S EASY !! Follow the three simple steps below.

#1: Send an e-mail to Gigabooks. Tell us what you're ordering and give us the snail-mail address for shipping. We'll get to work filling your order. (Note: This step is optional - you'll still get your order, even if you don't send us an e-mail message.)

#2: Go to our i-Check page and fill out the blank check you'll find there. This is a secure server. (Note: Secure servers are slow. Please be patient.)

#3: Sit back and relax. Your order will be shipped in two working days, and you'll have it within a week. (Note: U.S. book-only orders are shipped First Class Mail, all other U.S. orders are shipped Priority Mail. All Canada orders are shipped Air Mail.) 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe? I worry about giving out my check info over the internet.

This is safe. The information you are asked to provide is the information that's already on your check. If you have ever used your checking account, this information is already out there, stored in databases around the country. Writing a check this way is no more risky than writing a check in your checkbook and then sending it to someone you don't know (like the friendly folks at your phone company, electric company, or that catalog company that's located on the other side of the country from where you live). Plus, we use a secure server for this information.

How, exactly, do I fill out that blank check?

Since you'll need the bank number and account number from the bottom of one of your checks, the easiest way is to take a check from your checkbook, mark it VOID, and then copy it when filling out our online check. Don't forget to record the check as a debit (payment) in your check register. Complete instructions are available by going to our i-Check page.

After I order, how long will it take before I receive my order.

Barring any major unforeseen problems, your order will be shipped 2-3 working days after you submit it to us (working days at Gigabooks are Monday-Friday, but we accept orders and answer e-mail 7 days a week). Orders shipped to the western part of the U.S. typically take 3-4 days to arrive, orders to the eastern part of the country usually take 2-3 days. Book-only orders are shipped via First Class Mail, and usually take 3-7 days. All orders to Canada are shipped Air Mail and usually arrive within a week. Also, we notify you by e-mail when your order has been received and when it has been shipped, so you'll know when to expect it.
