shipping damage
Delivery-caused breakage
Shipping damage is harm to goods that occurs during transport—dents, scratches, broken parts, or water damage sustained between warehouse and destination.
The term appears constantly in product reviews, return policies, and insurance claims: The vase arrived with obvious shipping damage.
