In Store incidents (this includes Truck damages) Product is returned to the warehouse at times full loads if on the truck a case is broken it will not touch the shelves that depends on Policy of the store some stores do not differentiate between food, clothing, electronics, or toys.

That might work for grocery stores, but as someone who worked at a major electronics store, kitchenware store, and my ex was a manager of a now extinct toystore, I can honestly say those places don't give a hoot about the shipping box's condition. Long as the packaged item can sit on a store shelf, it's good to sell. It's up to the customer to find out if it's damaged or not.
