A seller hands over the warehouse keys so the buyer gains control of the stored goods. What kind of delivery is this?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 33 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 permits delivery by an act that puts the goods in the buyer's possession. The keys give the buyer control while the goods remain in place, so the delivery is symbolic.
Option feedback
Option A
The seller actually transfers control through the keys. Imagined delivery does not describe that act.
Option B
Giving the keys transfers control of the goods without physically handing over the goods themselves. That is symbolic delivery.
Option C
The seller physically hands over the keys. The goods themselves stay in the warehouse.
Option D
Section 33 allows an act that puts goods into the buyer's possession. The goods need not be physically moved if the keys transfer control.
