Question

1.   If you pay for new dining-room furniture at Sears, have Sears store it for two weeks, and then deliver it to your new house, who is responsible for it during storage and transit?

2.   What payments, title transfer, and transportation terms would you use for buying and selling internationally? Domestically?

3.   What do most people have insurance? If their house burns down, what do they expect or want to have paid?

Answer 1

A1. Until the goods purchased are delivered to the customers in the best condition, the responsibilities for keeping the goods purchased safely during storage and while transiting falls upon the company from where it is bought. This is because the customer had opted for the delivery service provided by the company. When he/she had purchased the item, the consumer had chosen a piece of furniture in the perfect condition. Therefore after receiving payment and before delivering, Sears is responsible for keeping the condition of the goods intact.
