That comes down to stock though.
Put it in another way, if I wanted to buy apples of X variety and I got to the supermarket and those apples looked crap I just wouldn't buy them, I would buy some other fruit or come back another day.
However online, if I ordered x and they have in stock then they have to fulfil that order, even if the apples look like crap.
I am not really sure you could improve this unless you had some form of back and forth comms between you and the warehouse.

The company makes sure the stores uphold the quality standards, and stop selling through stores that hurt their brand.
