Your client Amanda also received an order for 15 Akubra hats from Melanie, the owner of a Souvenir shop in Broome. The 15 Akubra hats were dispatched in Amanda's delivery truck with a further 50 Akubra hats to fill two other orders in Broome.

The delivery truck was involved in an accident on the way to Broome causing great damage to the hats. When Melanie finally received the hats she refused to accept them because of their seriously damaged condition, and refused to pay for the order, insisting that it was not her loss to bear.

Who bears the cost of theAkubra hats, Melanie or Amanda? Explain your answer.
