During rainy loading, check water not only outside but also on packaging and around the lid. Keep a pre-loading condition record so later damage can be identified.
Loading area and packaging. Use a covered area if available. Check for softened cardboard, unreadable labels, water in the lid channel or droplets on interior surfaces. Separate wet cases from sound loads; link repacking and product assessment to the lot.
Compare at receipt
Match loading photos and lot IDs to receipt findings. If damage recurs on rainy trips, compare covered loading times, a canopy or packaging changes in a small trial.
