If you can find customers more power to you I guess, but I just can't see the use case here. Having a checkbook, envelopes and stamps is a basic part of being a functional adult. It's not hard or expensive to do, so why on earth would anyone want to pay you to handle basic adulting for them?
I think having a checkbook used to be a basic part of being a functional adult, but there's a whole new generation of people that have never sent a check before.
There are still a lot of businesses and government agencies that require payments to be sent by check.
It's paying for convenience. Name any "basic adulting" task and I'll show you a service that can do it for you. House cleaning, taxes, groceries, laundry, childcare, etc.

I haven't had a checkbook for well over a decade. I seem to function.

It costs money / banks charge for checks. I don't have any use for them (nearly anything I could write a check for can be handled by ACH or card) … so why pay for a service I'm not using?
(The lone check that I did need to write in the last 2 decades, in theory the procedure is "go to bank, ask for check, receive check". The bank managed to screw that up, so it took a bit more than that, but that's par for the course for companies these days.)
I haven't had a checkbook in 5 years. I did have one for the 25 years before that. But then nobody wanted a check from me anymore, so I decided not to spend the money on a box of checks when I moved.
I have one person I need to pay each month with a check. They get it mailed to them from my credit union's bill pay service. Anyone else can either accept cash, ApplePay, Zelle, or a card.
This to me seems similar to the app I use to fax things. It costs $1 a page I think? And is totally worth it for the one time I need to fax a document every five years or so.
You're assuming everybody has convenient access to a USPS mailbox too. Try "just" writing and mailing a check when traveling internationally, for example.
