Amalgamated Machining, Inc. ("Amalgamated"), purchased an assortment of assembly line parts from Integrated Equipment Company, Inc. ("Integrated"), with delivery due from Integrated on August 1. On August 1, Integrated delivered several boxes of assembly-line parts to Amalgamated's warehouse. Amalgamated'swarehouse supervisor signed for the shipment and directed that the boxes be stored for later inspection, as he knew his employees would not have time to inspect the shipment at that time.
Five days after receipt of shipment, two Amalgamated warehouse employees inspected the boxes, discovering that the assembly-line parts were of a different and inferior brand than those their company had ordered from Integrated. Further, the shipment was ten units short of the number of parts Amalgamated had requested.
In waiting five days to inspect the shipment of assembly-line parts from Integrated Equipment Company, Inc., did Amalgamated Machining, Inc., compromise its right to rejection? If so, might the company have the right to revoke its acceptance of the shipment?
