§ 2—504. Shipment by seller
(1) Where the seller is required or authorized to send the goods to the buyer and the
contract does not require him or her to deliver them at a particular destination,
then unless otherwise agreed he or she must:
(a) 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
(b) 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
(c) promptly notify the buyer of the shipment.
(2) Failure to notify the buyer under paragraph (1)(c) of this section or to make a proper
contract under paragraph (1)(a) of this section is a ground for rejection only if
material delay or loss ensues.
