check withdrawals

[adi]

are there any drawbacks for check withdrawals? i have an ub account and all my other options are very limited or too expensive. they say '' Checks of $2000US or more will be sent to you via courier service at our expense''.... does that mean i get it faster? will i receive in dollars no matter my local currency or can i lose a lot in the exchange? are the bank fees a lot? will the check say it's from a gambling site? any info on this would be great, cheers.
