Rejection due to Delivery Issues: Goods that are not delivered on time or as per the agreed terms (e.g., wrong location, delivery to the wrong party) may also be rejected.

Sellers may be held responsible for covering shipping costs, price differences, or other losses incurred by the buyer. b.

Engaging in alternative dispute resolution methods can mitigate prolonged legal procedures and potentially preserve business relationships. c.
