HRS §490:2-504
What a seller must do when shipping goods
When a seller ships goods to a buyer and the contract does not name a specific delivery place, the seller must use a reasonable carrier, send needed documents, and tell the buyer about the shipment. If the seller fails to notify or make a proper shipping contract, the buyer can reject the goods only if it causes a major delay or loss.

The statute, as written — Shipment by seller
Where the seller is required or authorized to send the goods to the buyer and the contract does not require him to deliver them at a particular destination, then unless otherwise agreed he must: (a) Put the goods in the possession of such a carrier and make such a contract for their transportation as may be reasonable having regard to the nature of the goods and other circumstances of the case; and (b) Obtain and promptly deliver or tender in due form any document necessary to enable the buyer to obtain possession of the goods or otherwise required by the agreement or by usage of trade; and (c) Promptly notify the buyer of the shipment. Failure to notify the buyer under paragraph (c) or to make a proper contract under paragraph (a) is a ground for rejection only if material delay or loss ensues.
