Sweet Fruits may still ship the strawberries to Tarts & Pies Bakery using a different carrier, as long as the strawberries are still in good condition for delivery. If the strawberries cannot be shipped in the same condition or if Tarts & Pies Bakery refuses to accept the delivery from a different carrier, Sweet Fruits may need to discuss possible solutions with the buyer or pay damages. Cancelling the contract or waiting for the carrier to fix the trucks are not practical solutions in this situation.
