What is a pixel?
Pixels are the building blocks for every digital image. Higher pixel amounts in a digital photo signify a higher resolution photo, resulting in better Photo Check and Label products.

What is resolution?
Digital image resolution is the size of your image, measured in pixels. Images that are higher in resolution will result in a better Photo Check and Label product, while those images with a lower resolution may result in poor print quality and may appear fuzzy and indistinct.

Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest areas in a scene and/or photograph.

What is the value of the stamps offered?
We offer Forever Stamps which are special Nondenominational stamps that have been issued to save customers time and money, especially when First-Class Mail prices are changing. The Forever Stamp always represents a one (1) ounce First-Class Mail price. Therefore, when a customer buys a Forever Stamp, they pay the current First-Class Mail one (1) ounce price and it is always worth the First-Class Mail one (1) ounce price no matter how many times the price of the stamp changes in the future. Once purchased, these stamps can be used indefinitely (hence the term "Forever Stamp").
How many postage stamps come on a sheet?
Postage stamps from Walmartchecks.com are offered in sheets of 18.

Do I get a choice of stamp designs?
We are currently offering stamps in the Lady Liberty and US Flag Forever Stamp combo pack. Other design options are not available at this time.

Can stamps be sold at a higher price?
We offer Postage stamps at face value; and charge a nominal handling fee.

How much of a stamp can be torn or damaged and still considered valid?
Stamps which are mutilated or defaced are not valid for U.S domestic or U.S. originated international mail. However, a minor tear at the corner of a stamp does not render a stamp invalid.

I did not receive all my stamps and/or they were received damaged.

How does CheckSafe™ assist me with check fraud?
Certified CheckSafe™ Check Fraud Specialists will do most of the work to help you resolve check fraud after receiving the initial information from you. The Check Fraud Specialists will work with you, your financial institution and the merchant that accepted the fraudulent check to save you time. If you prefer to do the work yourself, the Check Fraud Specialist will provide you step by step instructions on what you will need to do to resolve the fraud.
CheckSafe™ will assist you with three major types of fraud:
a) Forged Signatures - Usually involves the use of legitimate blank checks with a false or fake signature of the payer on the signature line.
b) Forged Endorsements - often involve the theft of valid checks which are then endorsed and cashed or deposited by someone other than the payee. Forged endorsements can also appear on checks made payable to more than one party when one party endorses the check for all parties.
c) Altered Checks - are defined as valid check stock with certain fields changed. When the payee name is changed, payment is made to the wrong person. The courtesy and/or written amount can be increased, resulting in overpayment to the payee. Some checks have had the MICR line altered with bogus information (such as the routing/transit (ABA) number or the account number) to slow down the clearing/return process. Checks can be altered to include information that assists the criminal in negotiating the check.
