DAP delivery delay

Unlike timely delivery under DAP (Delivered at Place), a delivery delay occurs when the seller fails to make the goods available at the named destination by the contractually agreed date.

Quick Answer

Unlike timely delivery under DAP (Delivered at Place), a delivery delay occurs when the seller fails to make the goods available at the named destination by the contractually agreed date.

The seller remains responsible for all risks and costs throughout the extended period; the buyer cannot take possession as planned.

Consequences typically include warehousing fees, production losses, or penalties for the buyer, which is why DAP contracts often stipulate liquidated damages or liability clauses to address delays.
