Poll on Order Acknowledgements

[drcollie]

I always send out a mailed copy with a letter for each order places over the phone, internet, etc. I could just as easily send it only via email as .pdf documents. I'm curious as to how important it is for you to get a hard copy in the mail of your order vs. only an electronic one, so I created this poll.

It's easy to print out a hard copy once you receive the PDF. I keep copies of receipts on my computer these days and have no need for a hard copy myself. I think a lot more people are going I that direction these days.

As long as I have a copy of the order in pdf format I am cool. I can always print it.

An emailed pdf is actually better for me because it is easily copied when I back up my computer, meaning I have several copies (including off-site) should I ever need it for an insurance claim should my home be destroyed in some disaster. I don't have to really do anything to make those copies - it is automatic. Copying a hard copy is one of those things I will mean to do but never get to it, and storing it off-site is much more complicated.

After six years of emailing order confirmations I have never had a customer request a hard copy.

PDF works for me.

PDF actually makes it easier to file and track on the computer

Our mail has been a mess lately, so I prefer a PDF that I can print or save to the computer.

I would prefer email PDF too. Much easier to keep and not lose.

I don't think it's necessary to keep an original copy. An emailed copy should be good enough.
