How are goods delivered if someone else has possession of them?

by Fred Abramson

It is not unusual where you may be pur­chas­ing goods that a third party has pos­ses­sion of, such as a ware­house or a bailee.  In such an instance, you should be clear in the con­tract where the deliv­ery should be made.

Under the UCC, which cov­ers the sale of goods, if the con­tract is one for goods that are iden­ti­fi­able and are known by both par­ties to be in a loca­tion that is not in pos­ses­sion of either party, then deliv­ery is where the goods are located.   If you agree to pur­chase a car, and the car is located in ware­house owned by some­one else, then the buyer has to pick up the car at the warehouse.
