When something looks wrong

• Stop unloading and photograph the fault before anything moves.
• Count how many pallets show the same fault, to see if it is a lot problem or a one-off.
• Tell the desk or the seller in writing the same day, with the photographs attached.
• Hold the affected stacks apart until you hear back.
• Keep one sample pallet unused, so the maker or an inspector can examine it.

Storing a lot properly

• Keep stacks on a flat, dry slab, away from heaters, doorways and loading-bay draughts.
• Limit stack height to what the bottom pallet and the lift truck can safely manage.
• Shield pallets from sunlight with a tarp or a roof, since ultraviolet light chalks and embrittles some resins.
• Separate footprints, makers and grades with floor markings so pickers never guess.
• Leave an aisle wide enough for a fork truck to turn without clipping a corner.
