The first duty of the seller is to deliver the goods. Delivery may be, symbolic or constructive. He must deliver the goods according to the Contract and where there is a condition precedent to the performance of the Contract the seller need not deliver unless the condition is satisfied.
Unless otherwise agreed, delivery of the goods and payment of the price are concurrent conditions. The seller must be ready and willing to pay the price to the seller.
It is not the duty of the seller to send or carry goods to the buyer unless the contract so proves. His only duty is to place the goods at the buyer's disposal. It is the buyer's duty to demand the delivery and accept it when tendered. But the goods must be in a deliverable state at the time of delivery or tender thereof.
Where the goods are delivered to a carrier the seller is bound to enter into a reasonable contract on behalf of the buyer with the carrier for safe transmission of goods. In a transit by sea the seller must inform the buyer in time so that he may insure the goods.
