Unconventional Document Delivery: Sharing Our Most Bizarre Client Experiences

In the world of client interactions, the methods of document submission can sometimes leave us scratching our heads. As professionals, we often strive for a smooth and efficient workflow, yet we are frequently met with creative interpretations of how to share important documents.

Let me share a personal experience to kick things off: I once received a photo of a PDF displayed on an iPad, but what made it even more intriguing was that it was taken with a Samsung phone and sent over via email. The result? We had to painstakingly process that invoice manually, which was not exactly what we had in mind for a quick turnaround!

But I am not alone in encountering odd document submissions. I’m reaching out to gather your own experiences. Have you ever received anything particularly peculiar, such as handwritten notes, upside-down scans, or odd file names like “Image(345).jpg”?

The goal here is simple: I’m collecting these fascinating stories as I work on addressing the chaos that sometimes accompanies document handling. I want to foster a sense of community and assurance that we all face our fair share of document delivery challenges.

So, let’s share our stories! What’s the most absurd way you’ve received important paperwork from a client?
