Do Zazzle royalty payment checks expire?

[TulsaTees]

I just found a Zazzle royalties check that I haven't deposited to my my bank yet, dated in Sept 2024.  I don't see anything on the check that would indicate it expires after a certain number of days past its issuance date.  Is that correct?  Am I okay to deposit the check almost a year after it was issued?

The policies for stale-dated cheques varies from bank to bank. It's not something that Zazzle controls .. the cheque itself is good but some banks might accept it and others wouldn't. You'll have to ask your own bank what their policies are.

Well, that makes too much sense. I was thinking of checks that say things like "Void after 180 days."  I'm still under 365 days on this one, so wish me luck at the bank! 👍

Best of luck! If worst comes to worst, you might have to ask Zazzle to cancel that one and reissue you a new one....and that could take forever knowing they're sometimes slow as molasses .. lol. No offense Zazzle, I love you anyway!

Go ahead and deposit that. I have had a few experiences where banks have not even bothered to check that kind of detail. It will probably go through just fine.
