How much rescheduling do you put up with?

[Jeremy]

When a WG messages you on the morning of the punt "hey babe somethings come up wont b able to meet u at 11... can u do 12" or at the arranged time texts to say she needs 15 more mins to get ready or some other such thing. How much of a time delay are you prepared to put up with? How many times are you prepared to put up with it?

I returned to punting late last year after a long absence and I'd forgotten how often this happens, 8/10 of my punts I've had some variation of this. I book punts at least a day in advance and tend to plan the rest of my day from the time I expect to be out of the punt so it can be a nuisance, more fool me I suppose. I've learned to give myself some leeway after the expected end time.

I'm usually willing to put up with up to a half-hour delay from the original prearranged time, anything longer than that I'll either request a new booking date (if I'm still interested to see that specific WG or if she has reviews which indicate her usually being reliable) or just write her off as a timewaster. In my early days as a punter there were occasions where I'd spent hours "chasing" a girl and it was just a frustrating waste of time, even if the punt does eventually happen.

once a time is agreed, any messing about is met by me cancelling the whole thing

Wish I had the resolve for that sometimes, but when the sack needs emptying...

[The Outsider]

I usually have very little leeway so I hate rescheduling.  It especially annoys me when I suspect it's to fit in another punter rather than respecting the time I've booked for and working around it.  Rarely makes for a good start to a booking as I'm already grumpy!

If it's a regular I'd cut them a bit of slack, for a new girl I may just cancel. 

[AriT]

None for lunch time punts. My window for those is very tight. If it's as evening booking when I'm in a hotel on business then I'm much more relaxed as long as it's not a multiple rearrangement on the day.

[Innocente]

Don't mind that much as I'm pretty flexible time-wise.
I have to say, won't like it if I suspect someone is trying to do it on purpose to fit another punter.

[ShadowProclamation]

I put up with one reschedule, followed by a further short delay, on my last punt. She had been on my hotlist for a year and happened to be touring locally. I made allowances, because I really wanted to see her. I suspected she was fitting in another client. She never bothered to process my AdultWork booking, despite having good ratings and field reports. I didn't leave her a glowing review on here. She is back in the area again, but doesn't seem to be getting any business. Maybe other punters read my review? I wouldn't put up with it a second time from anyone. I would save my money and spend it on an SP who gives a damn.

[Ali Katt]

It's mainly more a vibe I get if I think I'm being messed about, one chance only; for someone genuine I will move hell and high water.

[RedKettle]

There is no set rule, it depends.

For a regular I would be fairly relaxed and if I can accommodate the change then no problem.  To be fair I quite often have to make changes so I would be being unreasonable not to accept it the other way.

That said one regular did this so often that she is no longer on my list - got fed up of cancellations etc.

With a new girl I am probably less tolerant but still if given notice and I can do it then I will.  However as Ali says above it is about the vibe, as soon as I feel that I am being messed about then I will call it a day and move on.  Probably indicates that it would have been a shit punt anyway.

I am not in the no tolerance to any change school - we all live hectic and at times complicated lives and stuff happens.  I am about to postpone a long planned and booked in meeting because the work appointment that gave me the excuse to be in that city has moved.  Shit happens.

[Moby Dick]

Rarely happens.

Depends on what I've got planned afterwards, and how keen I am to see her.

I would rather be informed of any delays rather then be left hanging around the postcode with radio silence. 10minutes maximum if she doesn't answer phone or reply to text.

One occasion I got a text to say she was running 15minutes late. Turns out previous punter was late due to traffic, and she cut his hour down to 30mins. Didn't bother me since I was stuck in same traffic.

[cueball]

Shit happens and sometimes it's necessary to cancel with plenty of notice (24hrs) one more go should be ample after a first meet cancellation.

After that, she's bin fodder if meet two fails.

I'm a fair man 

[Foxtail17]

I have become less tolerant over recent months. I can understand travel delays etc for outcalls as it can happen to me on the way to meetings, but I expect a WG to be ready at the time agreed, as she would expect me to be on an outcall. I book a lot in advance and expect both a postcode and mobile number to be supplied soon after booking. I make this quite clear during the first contact. Twice I have cancelled in the last 2 months when the WGs ignored this.

They can waste as much of their own time as they like but not mine.

[trainspotter]

I can only make same day bookings so I expect the time to be honoured. If the girl isn't available at the agreed time, I politely cancel to allow her time for whatever it is she has to do. It's amazing how many then suddenly find that they are available after all!!

[ViperKai]

Punting is off the menu for me for the immediate time being due to health issues but previously I worked on the basis that 1 reschedule is acceptable, twice and I won’t try and book again.

[Fuzzyduck]

Similar to many other responses, it "depends" on my own time contraints, how keen I am to meet the girl and if it's someone I've seen before (in which case I'll try to cut them some slack). The main criteria I have is that I maintain control of the situation so I don't get pissed off. I've little tolerance for being messed around so if I say give someone 15 mins, and they then try to stall some more, then I'm off, e.g.
https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=218898.

If I don't have time for the punt I'd planned, I'd consider doing a shorter one, but will ask for a discount. Gone are the days when I'm hanging around in a holding pattern somewhere waiting for my "slot". Fuck that.

[Waterhouse]

Ditto.  Only happened to me once or twice but I knew it was genuine so happily rescheduled.

[threechilliman]

My thoughts as well. 90% of the time I'm on a tight schedule so a punt has to start on or about time or it's a case of cutting short, or leaving. Occasionally I have a bit of slack in the system which can allow a bit of flexibility - one girl got extremely lucky last year when she fell asleep just before I arrived (Oh the excitement of having me visit eh?). Fortunately I had time to kill after the scheduled punt so we started half an hour late which actually helped me. I have to say this is rare though.

As for rescheduling cancellations, I will if I think the reason is genuine. If I don't then I won't reschedule, which often makes me wonder why I was booking in the first place these days.

[Birdwatcher61]

I'm usually fairly chilled. However if it is a regular and she keeps delaying by 1/4, 1/2 or even an hour eventually I'll snap because she's taking the piss, doubtless so she can get another punter in. I've now taken to sending the text accepting the booking. 

[Adoniron]

I usually let them change the time once by no more than half an hour, provided I've got the time. Sometimes they have a good reason. Other times they are clearly trying to squeeze in another punter before you.

[jordan452]

If I’m told in advance before I leave/on my way there its okay. Once I arrive for the booked time any waiting about more than 10 minutes is unacceptable. If its a new girl I’ll probably walk.

[Bonker]

Depends on the reason I'm given. If it sounds like an excuse, e.g. Family emergency, then I cancel. Sometimes I ask "is your previous booking running late"? If it feels like a genuine reason then I'm tolerant.

If I can't be flexible at all then I tell them at booking time.

When I was even fluffier than I am today, there was one lass who seemed to have the poorliest family in the western world. And, like a mug, - yes, of course I had E.A.S!    - I'd accept each excuse. Eventually, the scales dropped from my eyes.

I've never had the problem since; but if I had, I might be less tolerant than Bonker.

[The Owl]

It really depends on the escort. If it's a reg then I'm normally fairly flexible with my times in the first place, a benefit of my circumstances, however if she started messing me about a lot she'd stop being a reg. If it's with a new escort then it depends on if they're a tourer or local. I'd expect a local escort to agree a time with me and stick to it within reason, I wouldn't have a problem with a 5-10 minute delay so long as I got my time, she was fresh smelling from any potential previous client and I didn't get radio silence. Much beyond that and I'm going to consider walking. So far, I haven't needed to walk. For a tourer I'm willing to be flexible on my negotiated appointment time but if the escort starts cancelling multiple tours I'll probably hold off making any bookings until she's actually here and her AW profile is showing the green light.

Other punters may have to be a lot stricter on booking times due to their circumstances. We're all different.

[Hobbit]

I don't tolerate any unless it's a regular who hasn't done that before. I would trust them. Anyone else, I would judge by the vibe.

[sunnyj]

With good enough notice, I am ready to reschedule the meeting but once I reach the location, max 20mins is what I can wait and hang around.

[S.X. MacHine]

I stick to regular SPs mostly who, for whatever reason, have sufficient manners and professionalism to start our meetings at the agreed time.
Last week, however, I thought I'd try someone new, a Brazilian.
Time agreed for three hours hence. I turn up, in good time, at the agreed street. Phone as agreed for exact address. Nothing. Hang about till five past the agreed hour. Phone again and receive the address with instructions to go to address and press bell of the particular flat. Press bell. Nothing. By now it's 10 past agreed hour, its cold, windy and I'm getting annoyed. Receive text 'two minutes, babe..'. This, of course, never means two minutes, but is an indefinite holding pattern.
I walked. Stupid bitch lost £150. What is wrong with such people?

[londonpunter1]

I have become less tolerant over recent months. I can understand travel delays etc for outcalls as it can happen to me on the way to meetings, but I expect a WG to be ready at the time agreed.

Pretty much sums me up as well now. Rearranging with a few hours notice is OK, but I now have zero tolerance when you get that 'can you give me 10 mins babe' text when you've let her know you've arrived. I'll give up to 5 mins, but as soon as that 6th minute ticks over I'm gone.

In the past when I've waited 10 / 20 / 30 mins, it's generally not been worth it. My take on it now is that if she is not professional enough to be ready on time then I'm not going to get the professional service I'm looking for and I'm going home.

[User176]

I've had a regular delay me for 30 minutes, and I was almost going to walk when I got a text telling me she was ready, so I said, "why not?" She made up for it by spending 90 minutes with me for a one-hour booking.

Just today I had a new girl ask me if it was OK to delay by 30 minutes. It was a last-minute booking and I texted her 90 minutes before the scheduled punt, so I don't blame her for needing to get ready. Review coming soon.

When you've waited and it's not been worth it; mirrors me experience. Being made to wait, then wait some more, when the time was prearranged ages ago, indicates a lack of organisation at best and a lack of manners at worse.
I just walk now.

[TheGreatCornholio]

Have to take it case by case, I made a booking for a certain WG and she cancelled the day of but I had kind of expected it so no worries. I then made another booking about three weeks later and again the same thing!

She was great about it and I was polite cause obviously things happen and circumstances change, andive finally got the 3rd booking in for tomorrow and seems like nothing will change that and she's even given me a massive discount for all the faff, patience sometimes pays off!

[Punterperson1971]

I had a booking just before Xmas with a regular and we got mixed up with times and she offered me £10 off when the booking went ahead so I was happy.

Tend to agree with AliKatt here. If its a favourite I will put up with a lot although my patience has been sorely tested this week. If its someone new I will walk within 10 minutes. If they phone shortly before due time , and they are new I will cancel there and then. I have been bumped on a couple of occaisions and one review recently https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=233085.0  I was fucked about for over 40 /50 minutes. The review and problems we are talking about are described in detail.
So it does depend whether its someone off your HL as well. In the case quoted I was pleased I stayed.
