- Choose a Delivery Method that fits your timing and budget.
- Optionally Enable Tracking to add a tracking number and signature requirement for higher assurance deliveries.
- We handle printing, mailing, and status updates. You can cancel or reissue before it’s deposited.
Choose speed when you need it

When you schedule a check for a future date, we’ll prepare it to mail on that date. If you need it there sooner, choose Express or Priority and set the target arrival accordingly.
