Answer to Question 1

You have two merchants and Woodchip accepted by shipping, but used a different carrier that made a difference in price. It was an acceptance and breach at the same time because Barnes & Noble specified shipping and Woodchip used a different means for shipment. At a minimum, Barnes & Noble is permitted to not pay the extra shipping even if it chooses to accept the books. The acceptance on the different shipping terms is really not an acceptance, but a counteroffer that Barnes & Noble is free to accept or reject.

Answer to Question 2

A
