Here's another experience. So I am at lunch with my regular Provider after two wonderful days in NYC, and during this lunch she gets a last minute cancellation costing her a 5 figure appointment and probably the only reason for her NY trip to begin with (she was traveling and it happened that our schedules aligned.)
She shrugged it off like water off a ducks back. Looks at me and says "Everything happens for a reason and at least we got to see each other.". Poise and class - there is no substitute.
Providers - help me out here. I had booked a two hour a week or so in advance in a city I was going to be traveling to. It was a late night appointment and I did warn that my travel plans were iffy so she shouldn't turn down another opportunity if it came up.
yesterday my travel plans changed and I emailed her with more than 36 hours notice to let her know that I couldn't meet up with her. She responded with a flame mail accusing me of making up an excuse not to see her etc. Now, this is someone I've never even met, and it was to be an outcall where I'd be hosting. I understand that you ladies plan around appointments and that cancellations are painful financially and otherwise, but this was legit and in my mind with ample notice. Yet I was lambasted in her response. Confused. The minute I found out my travel plans had changed I emailed her, not a second later. Oh well, strange to feel bad for something completely out of my control.
Sorry you have been flamed but i'm sure it won't be the last time you felt lost in these types of transactions. I have had gentlemen cancel at the last minute meaning at the time we are suppose to meet and as upset as I am let it pass. Bad words can bite you in the end and have seen it on the boards first hand.
For me 36 hours is no big deal but it could be a problem for someone who tours and counts on her time being full. She might have had more than you cancel and now stuck with a lost day. Her rent is due and she counted on your donation or the kids are driving her crazy and the coffee hasn't kicked in. Either way just think if you met and she did a double take on you...
We all have bad days and blow it without meaning to. You didn't do anything wrong and I would be very happy getting a 36 hour cancelation and hope you would rebook next time you can cum my way.

As far as i'm concerned(and thats all that matters to me lol), you did just what anyone would have done. You showed 'reasonable care' in your effort to cancel an appointment. Of course thats a legal term used to justify your actions in a court of law lol.
Remember that desperation will result in desperate responses. She may not be working all that regularly.
They do it, so why consider it anything other than 'the price of doing business'?
Travel plans often change when it is business related . The fact that you are hosting
tells that there isn't any out of pocket cost on her end .
Now on the flip side , if I am depended upon to book a room and you cannot
make the trip I would expect a cancellation fee to cover my cost .
Cancellation fees can get complicated that is why I generally try to book
in advance so that any question of possible cancellation can be questioned within the
72 hrs as mentioned on my website.
Sometimes it's better to settle in your room and ask someone if it's ok to
call upon them since your plans sometimes change at short notice.
Hope this helps.

And they don't even fully read the emails you do send them. To her, you canceled and she got mad. The reasons are irrelevant to her and she most likely did not know them... It's happened where I have told the provider the exact time for the appointment in each correspondence and then the day of the booking they think you are coming a different time..
that the time-wasters send on a daily basis, though my reply may only be once if they didn't get the hint the first time.
She was highly reviewed and sought after provider. So hell yeah, I am gonna get me some of dat.
We scheduled and she was very easy to work with, but then so was I. Turns out that this appointment a week in advance was going to be potentially jeopardized because of a possible flu coming on. You know when you feel a flu coming on. So it got to be 48 hours prior and I decided it really best to not go spreading my flem and fever to this hottie and called her.
Holly shit, she goes off on me calling me a time waster and do not ever bother trying to scheduling with her again. This was not going to help that she was going to black list my ass as well as a time waster. I'm like WTF and truly lost for words. After the rant I apologized and hung up and went to bed for 5 days.
There were times I wanted to get up, take some medicine and call this bitch back and give her a what for piece of my mind. I thought better and never did and eventually got better. But wow, WTF can set someone off to that extent, when I am SICK. Gave her 2 days to fill the slot.
PS: She's no longer in business and if she were I would never give it a go anway.
It is how it is handled and IMO you gave enough time to cancel.Things happen business plans change,flight are delayed,or a trip is cancelled.The response you received was uncalled for and it goes to how a person conducts their business.Sometimes,it is frustrated when cancellations happen for us ladies as well as you gents but it happens the nasty emails or calls are uncalled for though.
I have only once cancelled... beause of a weather emergency which prevented me... and anyone else on the road... from driving. I let the lady know, as you did, immediately... we rescheduled within a few days, had a great time & I still see her when I am able.
If she is that unreasonable, then you are better off finding someone who is not.
