TRAVIS JOHNS: Hi. I'm Travis Johns with Expert Village, and I'm going to talk to you about rush delivery options. Sometimes, you'll get a call from a client saying they need something today, sometimes they need it yesterday. Well, to keep up with this demand, you need to research what options are available to you in the area. A lot of the major shipping companies will have rush delivery available but it's going to come at a premium cost. You need to make sure that if the client needs it right away that they understand that the premium cost is going to be billed to them at the very end of the project. Just because they needed it quickly doesn't mean you should have to pay for it. Also, if you're going to deliver the file over the internet and they needed it extra quick, you want to see if maybe you can cut the file up and do a couple of different sections so that they can get it piecemeal, ergo getting it sooner rather than later. In the event that you are having to give them the rush delivery files over the internet, feel the client out, see if they'll take a low-res version so it'll get to them quicker; it'll copy up over the FTP site faster. Another thing to consider while you're doing all of this is rushing to get them the file, is that going to create extra work for you? If it is, you need to make note of this if you're being billed hourly or if you have a day rate so that you're being paid for your time even though they needed it quicker.
