Facts

Stampede Presentation Products, Inc. (Stampede) (plaintiff) purchased 960 flat-screen televisions from 1 SaleADay (defendant). The purchase invoice for this transaction said that the televisions were to be shipped to Stampede’s customer in Illinois. Stampede hired Productive Transportation, Inc. (Productive) (defendant) to transport the televisions from 1 SaleADay’s warehouse in California to Stampede’s customer in Illinois. The agreement between Stampede and Productive was set out in a bill of lading that said the goods were to be shipped “FOB Origin,” which is trade shorthand meaning the seller’s responsibility ends once the carrier picks up the goods for transportation. Additionally, the bill of lading identified Stampede as the shipper. Productive then subcontracted with MML Transport to transport the televisions. MML Transport picked up the televisions, but the televisions were either lost or stolen in transit. Stampede sued Productive and 1 SaleADay, alleging, among other things, breach of contract. 1 SaleADay moved to dismiss Stampede’s claims. 1 SaleADay argued that it had a shipment contract with Stampede that placed the risk of loss on Stampede once the televisions were transferred to MML Transport.
