Bizarre Document Delivery: Share Your Tales of Client Chaos

In the world of client communications, we’ve all encountered our fair share of unconventional methods for document delivery. Today, I’m sharing a particularly amusing experience, and I’d love to hear yours.

This got me thinking about the variety of peculiar ways that documents can arrive on our desks. Have you ever received something handwritten, an upside-down scan, or maybe even a file with a perplexing name like “Image(345).jpg”?

I’m on a mission to gather these stories as I work towards developing a solution to streamline this chaotic process. Rest assured, I’m not marketing anything here—I’m simply seeking reassurance that I’m not alone in experiencing these strange submissions.

So, what’s the weirdest or most frustrating document delivery you’ve encountered? Let’s share our tales and perhaps find some humor in the madness of client communications!
