Interesting. The only damaged deliveries I’ve ever received happened when someone sent me something fragile via Canada Post. It seems that when it arrived at the post office, they carefully took the broken box and all the leaked-out bits, put the whole assemblage into another, larger box, printed a new shipping label for the larger box, and shipped it on. So I received a clean, sturdy outer box, containing some detritus and a redundantly-labelled inner box, in turn containing the rest of my shipment. (I assume, if something in the inner box had been a liquid and leaked out through the box, they’d have put the whole inner box in a plastic bag before putting that in a box.) Making that the general approach would probably solve the automation problem pretty cleanly. You could even have broken-package-packaging robots at each cargo-unloading step!
