According to the Uniform Commercial Code, when goods are sold C.O.D., the buyer is entitled to inspect the goods before paying for them. However, if the buyer chooses to accept the goods and then later discovers that they are nonconforming, they can still reject them as long as they give notice to the seller within a reasonable time. In this case, Reba opened the package and discovered that the boots were the wrong color and size, which are substantial impairments to their value and function. Therefore, Reba is entitled to reject the boots and demand a refund or replacement.
