I guess these are only used for very special applications, since I can't think of any consumer product that wouldn't survive being shipped in any spatial orientation; it's also easier to design packaging that ensures that, rather than add these detectors and deal with the damages. Shock, on the other hand, is far more damaging and harder to protect against.

large flatscreen TVs are quite vulnerable when laid sideways (even in the original packaging). the internal components are not designed to support their own weight in this orientation and can damage the screen.
