I suppose shipping tape would start to come off if it were put on a porous surface that sucked in water from behind the adhesive. I use on plastic mainly with plain paper or an Avery label underneath the tape.
My truck mirror snapped off in an ice storm when a branch fell on it, just hanging by the remote wire. I used gorilla glue and duct tape (it was a plastic mirror housing painted to match the truck). When I took the duct tape off a couple weeks later it was a solid bond. I sold the truck 5 years later, mirror was still good to go!
