The Unusual Ways Clients Deliver Documents: Share Your Stories!

In the world of freelancing and client work, we often encounter peculiar document submissions that leave us scratching our heads. I’d like to kick off a discussion on the most absurd ways you’ve ever received important files from clients.

For instance, I once had a client who sent me a photo of a PDF viewed on their iPad, and shockingly, this image was captured using a Samsung phone! To make matters worse, we still had to manually process that invoice, which felt like stepping back in time—definitely not efficient.

I’m curious to hear your experiences! Have you ever received scans that were upside down, documents in the form of handwritten notes, or files hilariously renamed like “Image(345).jpg”?

I’m gathering these stories to shed light on the chaos that often surrounds document handling in our industry. I’m not selling you anything here; I just want to connect with fellow professionals who might relate to these odd situations. Let’s embrace the humor in our day-to-day challenges!
