... but the fact that one of the two involved did not comply with the terms of sale (insurance; and we all know what it means... that's why it's offered) seems to say that the terms of guaranteed delivery were turned down by the buyer.

We can all agree that Rick turned down that guarantee... otherwise why would Josh ask for a certain sum from the buyer to pay for insurance...

Insurance is a term of sale... Rick refused that term in the sale. Josh need do nothing according to the UCC unless Josh said in his description: I will guarantee delivery no matter if you pay for insurance or not.

The term INSURANCE is very clear... I do not see anywhere in the UCC where it says: "Please define the term insurance if you use it in the terms of agreement."

I'm only asking for someone to show us where the UCC says the seller still has to be responsible for delivery if the buyer alters sale terms; does not comply with sale terms or disrupts delivery in any manner.

My only reason for asking this is so it will be clear in ALL future transactions between CCGTCC members when a buyer refuses to pay the seller for the purchased USPS insurance... where we could agree upon no CCGTCC member has to actually pay a seller for insurance to guarantee delivery if they do not want to... that any CCGTCC seller must deliver no matter what (unless spelled out, of course).
