@Angelica333 Agreed- I never assume someone has received either an Airbnb message or a text message until they respond.
As far as deliveries go, for sure the host should give ample warning, but I know from my own experience that things don't always get delivered when they say they will. A delivery person who was supposed to come 2 days from now might call to say they are in the area, have my order and need to drop it off.
What I feel, as a host, is that it all works better when guests and hosts cut each other a bit of slack. Unless it's obvious that the other party was simply being disrespectful or intentionally rude, what might seem like crossing boundaries to you or me might not occur to the other person. As long as we can just say that we would expect ample warning, or whatever the issue is, in the future, and get a apology or an "I didn't realize it would be an issue, but I'll make sure to do that next time", as long as there was no real damage done, we can learn from our mistakes and move on.
