I'm going to send a parcel with fragile electronics (a tube radio) tomorrow, which warning sign would you choose?
It's going to cross half of Europe, so I'm undecided if I should use the standard "fragile" and "this side up" stickers, or something like "Caution! Dangerous snakes! Do not shake!"
Any other ideas?

IT WOULD NOT WORK ! NOBODY BOTHER TO LOOK AT THOSE WARNING SIGNS ON PARCEL. BEST WAY.......
REMOVE ALL THE TUBES AND PICK EACH TUBE WITH THICK PROTECTED FOAM. THEN PICK ALL THOSE TUBES INTO A SEPARATE HARD BOX, SHIP BOTH RADIO AND TUBE BOX WITH ONE STRONG BOX AND PICK WITH THICK FOAM. ALSO BUY DAMAGE INSURANC IF THE CARRIER HAS SUCH OPTION.

Id pack it verry well, go overboard on it. insulation, layer of fome penuts between boxes, layers and layers of boxes, fome popcorn/penuts, bubble wrap, some news paper, more bubble wrap, stuff the radio if you can be careful only do the radio if you have experience with high voltage otherwize please don't, your life matters more than any old radio n Id not take that kind of risk.
Maybe if you do know what you are dealing with, you can take the tubes out and pack them well separately.
