Passing of Risk

The moment from which you bear the risk for the goods.

Passing of risk means: from when do you bear the risk if the item is destroyed or damaged? In a store, that is at handover. For dispatch to a consumer, the risk passes only when the goods arrive with you, not already at handover to the parcel service.
