If the shipment is FOB China and not insured, Bob probably bears the loss and has no remedy. | |

| Jul 20, 2018 at 23:04 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | I think the usual course of action is that Bob should sue Alice, since the sale contract was that Alice should deliver the goods to Bob, and she (and her agents the postal services) didn't perform that. Alice may then turn around and sue the appropriate postal service. | |
