Selling them FOB your facility is roughly the same thing- *ownership* passes to the customer when they cross your shipping dock. But if your contract is written badly it might matter. If you do put the above in there, I think it should be an 'agreed upon' mode of shipment... IANAL, but it doesn't seem fair to expect them to take responsibility without giving them some control.
