The Code specifically elaborates on the rule stated in the preceding section by stating that an order requesting prompt or current shipment of goods may be accepted either by a prompt promise to ship or by a prompt or current shipment of the goods [2-206(1) (b)].So,if Ampex Corporation orders 500 IBM personal computers from Marks Office Supply,to be shipped immediately,Marks could accept either by promptly promising to ship the goods or by promptly shipping them.If Marks accepts by shipping,any subsequent attempt by Ampex to revoke the order will be ineffective.
