I am always amazed at the lengths distribution warehouse workers will go to tamper with these vs. just not tipping the shipment. I've actually seen boxes of replacement stickers on the back of a forklift during a tour. I once had a shipment come in with TiltWatches on it and someone had slid pins through the plastic right above the balls to hold them in place. I now check for holes on these. IF you are shipping something that really needs to be rejected if tipped, cover the stickers with a panel, shipping manifest, etc. Make sure the receiver knows to remove the covering and check before signing for the package. Those Tip'n'tells double as great makeshift earthquake sensors. https://i.imgur.com/v83aNzV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/v83aNzV.jpg

Absolutely. Receiver popping a panel to show the other set of tip'n'tells can get some great expressions. But if the shippers are serious, and use to moving 6-7 figure equipment around, they'll expect it.

  But how do you prove these indicators weren't triggered before shipping?

    I usually do a walk around with a camera in the back of the truck before we button everything up.

> I've actually seen boxes of replacement stickers on the back of a forklift during a tour. Great, now they elevated a simple case of negligence (at best) to fraud.

If you want to prevent tampering, think inside the box. By which I mean also put these indicators on the inside of the box.
