How to Rush Deliver Post-Production Items

While working on a post-production project, many times a client will call and want the product rush-delivered to them. It says much about your work ethic and dedication to the project if you try to fulfill the client's needs by trying to accommodate them. Use the tips below for rush-deliver of post-production items.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Think about costs and overtime spent trying to get the post-production items to the client. If it is an unreasonable request, then let the client know they will be billed for the extra services in addition to the costs for rushed shipping.

2. Try and convince them to allow the sharing of files over the Internet. This will be free for everyone, and quicker as well. Try to do a low-resolution version so it is a faster upload and download.

3. Ship the product with FedEx. FedEx is probably the most expensive, but will ship overnight and is generally faster and more reliable than the other shipping services. The tracking system online is very detailed and accurate, as well.

4. Use DHL to ship the post-production item overnight. It is probably the cheapest mail service, but is less reliable. It can be very quick, though, depending on where the package leaves and arrives. If it delivers to major cities, it will be fast.

5. Send the product through U.S. Priority Mail. There are many post office locations and have free boxes and envelopes to ship with, saving a trip to the store. They also have free online tracking.
