Just remember that just because a check clears your bank initially, doesn't mean it will clear the original bank.
A buddy of mine got scammed with either a bank check or money order. Cautious by nature, he got the check and had his bank check with the issuing bank. Initially the issuing bank said the check was a good number, so he deposited it in his bank. The check clears his bank (7 days), he ships the stuff, the check actually gets back to whichever other bank issued it (both banks in the US) and is flagged as a counterfit 14 days (on top of the original 7) later. Bank takes their money back.
If it weren't my buddy, I'd say it was urban legend...but make sure the check clears both your bank and the issuing bank before you ship the goods.
