Question

Cynthia orders 100 shirts in a variety of colors for her screenprinting business from Juan, a shirt supplier. When Cynthia receives the shirts, she sees that they are not the same brand that she ordered. Nevertheless, she accepts delivery. Within a couple of weeks, Cynthia notices that the stitching on half of the shirts is unraveling, rendering the shirts unsellable to her customers. She had no indication that the shirts had defective stitching when she accepted delivery. What remedy does Cynthia have in this scenario

Answer 1

Answer:

Cynthia should inform Juan of the defects and seek for a replacement or refund, while returning the defective shirts to Juan.

Explanation:

Since Cynthia cannot sell the shirts to her own customers because of the defective stitching, it implies that the goods were not in the right condition when she accepted delivery.  She should be able to negotiate for a return and refund or replacement of the affected shirts.  Cynthia should also ensure that future goods received are properly and thoroughly inspected before accepting delivery to forestall the arguments that could arise from the present situation.
