Nothing is for sure these days. IMO, a wire transfer is the safest way to transfer money. At the speed of light, you can confirm that the money was sent from your account. The recipient can confirm that the money has arrived in their account. It's usually best to execute transactions during business hours so there are bank people to talk to if there are issues.
Carrying large amounts of cash (over $10,000) is dangerous. Some (police) states can legally confiscate cash just because they THINK you are up to something nefarious. It happens all the time.
