you had taken the order and undertaken to deliver it to consignee at mangalore . however subseqnelty you were unable to deliver it and hired a packer company .
you would be liable if you had undertaken to deliver consignment to mangalore . contact a local lawyer . your case will lie against the packer for damage to the goods
