Odd, I've always been able to write a check to the customs service for
my $25. Perhaps they ran your name and didn't want your check.

I
always get the sticker, thank them and then throw it out on the way
back to the plane. My airplane is too pretty to get gooed up with a
$25 sticker. I just write a check for $25 each time I cross. In the
scheme of things, its a pretty small amount to have a customs officer
drive out to meet you.

If you land in Canada and come back, you'll need a US customs sticker on
your plane. If you don't have one ahead of time, you'll need to be
carrying $50 US on your person to buy one - they don't take checks, credit
cards or Canadian money.
