Aseller shipped goods to a buyer by common carrier, using a shipment contract. when the carrier arrived at the buyer's location, the buyer refused to accept the goods unless the driver unloaded them inside the buyer's warehouse. the driver refused and the goods were subsequently damaged. who bears the risk of loss

The answer to this item lies in the situation. It is said that if the problem is silent or does not mention any details on the specific terms of the shipment contract or agreement between the parties, then this contract must be considered Freight on Board Destination (FOB Destination). This FOB Destination is defined as a shipping term which states that the legal title along with the risk of bearing the loss will stay with the seller until the goods reach the location of the buyer. In the actual scene, the actual sale of the goods and ownership changes hand from seller to buyer upon the destination of the goods. In this sense, this detail is important as well because both parties will know when the amounts will be entered in the accounting records and what treatment shall be given to the upon delivery and transit. 

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
