Plaintiff, Legend Holdings, a Chinese electronics manufacturer, contracted to ship 1,500 laptop computers to a distributor in New York City, New York. The contract did not specify the shipment as a destination contract. Seller is merely required to ship the goods to the buyer but not to deliver the goods to the buyer's place of business.

Defendant, the New York distributor, called repeatedly to find out the status of the shipment and was not given a shipping date.

Later, without notifying the defendant, the plaintiff delivered the laptops to a shipping line in Shanghai, China where Legend Holding is located and sent the 1,500 laptop computers to the port in New York. The ship and the laptops were lost at sea en route to New York. When the defendant refused to pay on the contract, the Plaintiff, the Chinese electronics exporter, sued.
