Under the Uniform Commercial Code, when a single delivery would be unreasonable because the buyer has no room to store the goods, what right does the buyer have regarding tender and delivery?

• A. When the goods would overfill the buyer's storage.
• B. When the seller cannot deliver on time.
• C. When the buyer has no room to store goods even if delivered all at once.
• D. When the buyer has unlimited storage.

Answer: (C)

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, tender of delivery should be arranged in a way the buyer can actually take possession. When delivering all the goods in one go would be unreasonable because the buyer has no room to store them, the practical remedy is to allow delivery in installments. This lets the seller tender a portion now and the rest later, matching the buyer’s storage capacity, while still keeping the contract intact if the installments conform to it. Each installment is delivered and can be accepted or rejected under the rules for installment deliveries, so the buyer isn’t forced into an impractical lump-sum shipment.

If storage weren’t an issue, or if the problem was something like the seller’s timeliness, the other options would be addressing different concerns, not the storage constraint that makes single-delivery tender unreasonable. Unlimited storage would similarly remove the constraint, making installment delivery unnecessary.
