Help guarantee that UPS will "turn the vials red".
Putting those on a package steel would be like issuing a challenge to the handlers. |

I like that idea. But your subject line has iffy semantics. It will let you know to inspect it carefully before you sign for it.
To guarantee safe arrival, you have to use the right mixture of bracing and cushioning so that WHEN (not if) your item gets dropped, it will survive.
Jack Stoner has related that at one of his jobs they used to drop-test their packaging methods 6 feet to concrete. If you cringe at the idea of subjecting your amp or guitar to that, then re-pack it. There's a nearly 50% chance that UPS, FedEx or the USPS will administer exactly that test.
