Which is NOT a remedy for a buyer when a seller delivers imperfect goods?

• A. Return goods at seller's expense
• B. Refund
• C. Damages
• D. Specific performance

Answer: (D)

When goods are nonconforming in a sale of goods, the buyer has several available remedies focused on monetary relief and getting conforming goods, not on forcing performance in the ordinary case. The buyer can reject the entire shipment and return the goods at the seller’s expense, or revoke acceptance if the nonconformity was latent or discovered after acceptance. Damages are a central remedy: the buyer can recover the difference between the contract price and the value of the goods as delivered (if nonconforming), plus incidental and consequential damages. Specific performance—ordering the seller to deliver conforming goods—is not a general remedy here; it’s only available in narrow situations where the goods are unique and monetary damages would be inadequate, per the UCC. Hence, the option that does not fit as a typical remedy for imperfect goods is to compel performance.
