That's a pity!
It's the old packaging story. If a load has not been packaged properly, it cannot be secured. In this case, it wasn't secured at all. The cargo units are so unstable that they collapsed under the slightest load. We are uncertain whether intermediate cardboard dunnage would have been sufficient to stabilize the load units. More stable boxes, sensible cardboard intermediate layers, strong cardboard edge protectors to distribute the pressure at the top edges of the load and possibly at the corners of the load units, and fit-for-purpose shrink-wrapping would have meant that the only thing left to do here would be to secure the load. In many cases, inadequate load-securing is effectively "provoked" by the consignor.
