The Most Unusual Document Submissions: Share Your Stories!

In the realm of freelancing and client relations, communication is key. However, sometimes the methods clients choose to send crucial documents can leave us scratching our heads in disbelief. Today, let’s dive into some of the most peculiar ways people have received documents from clients.

To kick things off, I’ll share my own experience. There was a time when a client opted to send an important invoice via a rather unconventional method: they snapped a photograph of a PDF screen displayed on their iPad, which they took with a Samsung phone, and then proceeded to email that image to me. The result? A labor-intensive process to manually handle the invoice that could have been easily avoided!

Now, I’m curious to hear about your experiences. What’s the strangest or most frustrating document submission you’ve encountered? Have you received anything handwritten, received scans that were upside down, or perhaps files named “Image(345).jpg”? Whatever it may be, let’s share these stories!

I’m gathering anecdotes and insights as I work on a solution aimed at alleviating this kind of chaos. Just know that you’re not alone in experiencing these bizarre submissions! Your contributions could help spark some innovative ideas to improve this process for everyone involved. Let’s keep the conversation going!
