The Most Unconventional Document Delivery Methods: A Call for Stories

We’ve all experienced the quirks of working with clients, from quirky requests to unexpected surprises. But sometimes, the methods clients use to deliver documents can take us by surprise. I’m reaching out to gather your most amusing anecdotes about the unconventional ways you’ve received files from clients.

Let me share my own experience: I once received a document in the form of a photo of a PDF displayed on an iPad. The kicker? It was captured using a Samsung phone and then emailed to me. While I appreciate the creativity, it added quite a bit of extra work as we still had to manually process that invoice.

What about you? Have you ever encountered bizarre or frustrating document submissions? It could be anything from handwritten notes to scans turned upside down or files with names like “Image(345).jpg.” I genuinely want to hear your stories!

I’m not trying to sell anything—I’m simply compiling tales from the trenches as I work on a project aimed at reducing the chaos in document submissions. So, if you’ve ever experienced the absurdities that can arise in document handling, please share your experiences! Let’s commiserate and know that we’re not navigating this alone.
