The Most Unusual Document Delivery Experiences: Share Your Stories!

In the digital age, you’d think document submission would be streamlined and efficient. However, many professionals have encountered document delivery scenarios that range from the amusing to the downright perplexing.

Let me share a personal experience: I once received a photo of a PDF displayed on an iPad, captured using a Samsung phone, and then emailed to me. As you can imagine, this resulted in a rather amusing—and time-consuming—situation where we were forced to manually process that invoice. It’s a reminder of how sometimes the simplest tasks can become unexpectedly complicated!

Have you ever encountered an especially bizarre or regrettable way a client has submitted documentation? Perhaps you’ve seen a handwritten note that was barely legible, or maybe you’ve received a scan that was upside down. There are also those infamous files labeled “Image(345).jpg” that leave you bewildered as to their contents.

I’m on a mission to gather these odd anecdotes as part of a project aimed at addressing the chaos surrounding document submissions. I’m not selling anything here; I simply want to know if I’m the only one navigating this maze of challenges.
