The provision
The extraordinary liability of the common carrier continues to be operative even during the time the goods are stored in a warehouse of the carrier at the place of destination, until the consignee has been advised of the arrival of the goods and has had reasonable opportunity thereafter to remove them or otherwise dispose of them.
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
The carrier's extraordinary liability does not end just because the goods reach a warehouse of the carrier at the destination. It keeps running until the consignee has been notified that the goods arrived and has had a reasonable chance afterward to pick them up or otherwise deal with them.
