How to Write a Check and Save

Pay-by-Check Discount Policy
By Dale V.  |  Power Equipment Expert

Our mission is to 'make buying technical products simple,' even when you're paying by check. And, by writing a check, you can earn a 2% discount* on your order! 

We created this guide to walk you through the steps and differences between paying by paper check and electronic check, along with important information you should know. 

 

Check Processing Time

Inventory is only reserved after we have received your check. Then, we will hold your order for five business days after your bank clears the funds. The hold applies to all checks including, money orders, certified checks, and cashier’s checks.

For quicker turnaround overall, we recommend using eCheck. Because funds are processed immediately, your order will be reserved and shipped quicker than if you mailed a paper check.

After your check has cleared on the 5th business day, your order will be placed in the "processing" status and will be shipped based on lead times posted on the product page.

 

Please be aware that products with low stock or shipping directly from manufacturers can become backordered while your payment is in transit or processing. Any backordered items will be shipped as soon as they are available. Priority Shipping is not available on orders made by paper checks.

 

Paying with "eCheck"

Secure eCheck allows you to get your products faster than mailing in a check and still saves you money. Although there is a five business day processing-hold on orders placed via eCheck, you can get your order sooner than if you paid by mail.

Follow these easy steps to pay by eCheck: 

  1. Place your order for any item more than $1,000 (before tax)
  2. Choose "eCheck" as a payment option
  3. Enter the following information in the secure form: Routing Number, Account Number, and Account Type (Checking, Savings, or Business)
  4. Confirm and Submit your order

Paying with a Paper Check 

Follow these steps to pay for your order by paper check by mail: 

  1. Place your order online for any item more than $1,000 (before tax)
  2. Choose "Check" as a payment option
  3. Confirm and Submit your order
  4. Include your order number on your check and mail to:

Power Equipment Direct
969 Veterans Parkway, Suite C
Bolingbrook, IL 60490
