Payment is still made by check.

While that is true, it is also true that the checks issued through
purchase orders are issued by the appropriate financial departments of the
company issuing the purchase order and generally sent via mail to the
financial receiving department of the company with whom the purchase order
was placed. In my experience, it would be very unusual for a person to
deliver a check in person.
