Besides going through all the stuff at Lowe's or HD not much else you can do. try to find lumber they just put out and pick the best before others do. HD seems to have the best around here. I guess I am a little lucky because I have 3 Lowe's and two HDs relatively close. A couple of years ago I built a project and I knew the lumber had set out so I stacked it in the LR. Amazing how much moisture came out.
The lumber was dry and i stacked it in my train building that is heated. I think you hit the nail on the head. I'd just about bet this stuff wasn't completely dry.
