When the delivery arrived several days early, on July 15, the electronics store noticed that the computers did not have all of the features as the top-of-the-line model that was ordered. The electronics store notified the manufacturer that it was rejecting the computers that were delivered and expected the manufacturer to send 25 top-of-the-line models immediately. The manufacturer replied that because of a backlog of orders that had not yet been filled, the top-of-the-line models could not be delivered until October 15. Because the electronics store had contracted with a local college to deliver 10 top-of-the-line models for use by the college’s varsity esports program by July 31, the electronics store delivered 10 of the nonconforming gaming computers to the college along with a promise to replace them with 10 top-of-the-line models in mid-October. The electronics store returned the 15 remaining gaming computers to the manufacturer.

The friend replied by letter on June 5th that he would do so.
