Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the goods are shipped F.O.B. warehouse, the seller is responsible for the goods until they are delivered to the carrier. Once the carrier takes possession of the goods, the risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer. In this case, since the furniture was lost in transit, the risk of loss passed to the buyer (Home Products) at the time of delivery to the carrier. Therefore, the loss is suffered by Home Products only, and not by Relax-o Furniture or Swift Shipping.
