Where the seller is required or authorized to send the goods to the buyer and the
contract does not require him to deliver them at a particular destination, then unless
otherwise agreed he must (a) put the goods in the possession of such a carrier and make such a contract for
their transportation as may be reasonable having regard to the nature of the goods
and other circumstances of the case; and (b) obtain and promptly deliver or tender in due form any document necessary to enable
the buyer to obtain possession of the goods or otherwise required by the agreement
