Btw I read that even certified checks are sometimes no good. There were cases wherein the bank honored the ck then after a few days they find out that it is no good. So they are left with no choice but to charge you.

You are correct - cashier's checks and certified checks are really no different than a personal check. They can all be forged or cancelled after issuance.
A US Postal Order is probably the safest "check" - they can't be easily cancelled or faked. Best is cash, next best is having the money direct-wired to your account (and don't provide the merchandise until you verify that the money has actually been deposited).
