Your action depends on what type of foods are in the shipment. I'm guessing you have taken temperatures of perishable and potentially hazardous foods and found temperatures outside the allowable range. Hopefully, you made sure your thermometers were calibrated.
What you should do in this case will be determined by how it is received.
This is often an issue when mixed-load deliveries (dry-refrig/frozen) are made without temperature-controlled equipment or there was an equipment failure.
throw it away and don't eat it
use a infrared thermometer

At the correct temperature
The shipment should have been refused, and returned to the shipper for credit.
Remove the lid of a container and put the thermometer stem into the sour cream.
The danger of an extreme in body temperature should be diagnosed by a doctor.
The shipment of shucked shellfish should be rejected and returned to the supplier if delivered at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, as it falls outside the safe temperature range for perishable foods. Consuming shellfish that has not been stored at the proper temperature can pose a risk of foodborne illness.
225 degrees
Like for example,your shipment will be mailed to a post office and you will be notified to go collect it.Don't worry the shipment/parcel should be dropped at the nearest post office.This should happen...
You should keep foods out of the danger zone to prevent bacteria from forming on foods. Bacteria can form on foods in the temperature danger zone after just an hour. The danger zone is under 145 degrees and over 45 degrees.Cooked beans can spoil very quickly if left in the temperature danger zone. These beans should be considered not safe to eat.
