(2) Apart from the contract, the place of delivery is the seller's place of business, if the seller has one, or, if not, the seller's residence, but if the contract is for the sale of specific goods that, to the knowledge of the parties when the contract is made, are in some other place, then that place is the place of delivery.
(3) If, under the contract of sale, the seller is bound to send the goods to the buyer but no time for sending them is fixed, the seller is bound to send them within a reasonable time.
(4) If the goods at the time of sale are in the possession of a third person, there is no delivery by the seller to the buyer unless and until the third person acknowledges to the buyer that the third person holds the goods on behalf of the buyer.

(6) Unless otherwise agreed, the expenses of and incidental to putting the goods into a deliverable state must be borne by the seller.
