The general rule is that an acceptance is effective upon dispatch if it is properly addressed and stamped, but this rule does not apply if the offeror stipulates that acceptance is not effective until received. In this case, Crafted authorized a particular mode of communication, but City Transit sent an acceptance via a substituted means. Thus, the acceptance is not effective until received.
