Statute Text
Shipment by seller.
Where the seller is required or authorized to send the goods to the buyer and
the contract does not require the seller to deliver them at a particular
destination, then unless otherwise agreed the seller must:
(1) Put the goods
in the possession of such a carrier and make such a contract for their
transportation as may be reasonable having regard to the nature of the goods
and other circumstances of the case; and
(2) Obtain and
promptly deliver or tender in due form any document necessary to enable the
buyer to obtain possession of the goods or otherwise required by the agreement
or by usage of trade; and
(3) Promptly
notify the buyer of the shipment.
Failure to notify the
buyer under subsection (3) of this section or to make a proper contract under
subsection (1) of this section is a ground for rejection only if material delay
or loss ensues. [1961 c.726 §72.5040]
