First, Flash is right on the money about cancelling shops. I only leave apps hanging if it is a light day and something can easily be included.
When a date range is offered I like to choose one of the last dates. I've found that when a shop is offered from 6/8 to 6/10 and you give them the first date it often then becomes the due date. For many companies choosing the last available date still allows me a range to work with because the "don't shop before" date does not change

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.
