Under the mailbox rule, an acceptance is generally effective upon dispatch, meaning when it is sent, not when it is received. Since Brian mailed his acceptance on June 18, before receiving the revocation on June 19, the acceptance was effective when mailed. Therefore, a contract was formed on June 18.
