Is it safe to check them?
The answer, as always, is "it depends".
If you're leaving and arriving outside of the US, yes, it's pretty safe.
If either starting point or destination is the US,
no, don't do it and take the advice of using UPS or FedEx.
It's like the stock market. If you're going to play, make sure you can afford to lose it.
