How Do I Handle Nsf Returned Check?

In summary, when a check is returned for insufficient funds, your bank will notify you via mail. If you receive an NSF check, you should contact the person who wrote it and request reimbursement for any bank fees. There is typically a fee associated with receiving an NSF check. It is not possible to re-deposit a returned NSF check, so it is best to request a different form of payment. To prevent receiving NSF checks in the future, it is important to verify funds before accepting a check and consider using electronic payment methods.

I just got a returned check from a wedding shower that I submitted last week. How do I handle it? Do I ask the customer to mail me cash or a money order? Do I ask the host to hold her order or deliver it to me until I get the money?

Your help is appreciated!
 
I would ask the hostess to hold her order - perhaps hand her order off to you. In addition, I would ask the customer for cash or money order for the order amount plus any charges you incurred.
 
Call the guest and tell her that her check was returned. She'll probably gasp in horror and offer a way to make it up to you.

My bank allows me to submit a check a second time, so I'll do that after talking with the customer. But I ALWAYS pass along the $10 service charge that my bank charges me and make the customer give that to me in cash.

If the check gets returned a second time, it's cash or money order only.

Depending on the timing of it all (the speed of shipment, if I can get a hold of the guest right away), I may or may not ask the host to hold her order. I would rather not get the host involved.
