Am I Better Off Using a Money Order Over a Check?
In a lot of situations, money orders are preferred over checks.

Another benefit to using a money order vs. checks or other methods of payment is that money orders are easily replaced if lost or stolen, and they are much safer to carry than large amounts of cash.
