If goods are destroyed in transit, can a buyer force the seller to ship another delivery?

In many purchase and sales agreements, delivery is a key component of the contract. When, how and where delivery will take place is often crucial to the business operations of both the seller and the buyer. However, delivery is also frequently performed by a third party delivery company. Therefore, the question of who takes on the responsibility for a successful delivery is an important consideration when drafting a purchase and sales agreement.

What happens when goods are delivered to an employee who is not authorized to receive them?

However, many times this is not identified beyond the standard term “Buyer” in the contract. This can result in confusion and mistakes when the seller makes a delivery to a person who is not authorized to accept it.
