Yeah, that is pretty common, it's what happens when when shippers and/or consignees decide to take the chance and decide not to go for temperature controlled transport, reefer container or truck(no kidding, that's what it's called).......any mishap with perishables like fruits and other foodstuff is instantly discovered and a claim is filed.......stuff like chemicals, gum boots(glue issue), electronics and Lamborghini cars(condensation).....is not so readily apparent.......Oh well!
Suspect there is a great deal of mishaps due to........"careless" or let's say, cheap Charlie transportation, that will never be traced back.....and nobody but the end user have to deal with the consequences.......Perhaps someone should ask the nute companies if they deploy data logging temp monitors in their shipments.......this is costly and retrieval is a nightmare.....don't ask how I know.........but nevertheless........I wouldn't be surprised if a few chili or canna grows has gone off the rails for no apparent reason ..........of course I and everybody else would never know the real reason........Nuff says
