Bizarre Document Delivery: Share Your Most Outrageous Client Experiences

In the digital age, one would expect that the submission of documents would follow a standard procedure. However, as many of us in the professional world have discovered, that is not always the case. Have you ever received a document from a client that left you scratching your head?

I’ll start with my own story: I once had a client send me a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad, but intriguingly, they took that photo using a Samsung phone and emailed it my way. As amusing as it was, we still had to go through the painstaking process of manually handling that invoice.

Now, I would love to hear from you! What’s the oddest or most frustrating way you’ve received a document? It could be anything from handwritten notes, upside-down scans, files with cryptic names like “Image(345).jpg”, or anything else that made you question the sender’s method of communication.

I’m currently gathering tales like these as I work on a project aimed at streamlining document submissions and reducing confusion. I’m not promoting a product or solution here—rather, I’m just seeking comfort in knowing that I’m not alone in facing these challenges.

So, let’s share our bizarre document delivery stories. Your experience could help bring light to a common issue that many of us encounter!
