- Been there with the fax thing—never thought I’d see one outside an old office movie.

That’s classic.“I had to Google what a fax even was.”
- Insurance companies do love their outdated tech, but hey, if it gets you a discount, worth the hassle.
- Next time you’re dealing with paperwork for a classic car title transfer, you’ll feel right at home... they still use faxes too.
- Fingers crossed the machine didn’t eat your transcript.
Honestly, I get why people say it’s worth the hassle for the discount, but I’m not totally convinced. Last time I had to fax something for insurance, the machine jammed twice and then the agent said they never got it. Ended up just scanning and emailing it anyway—turns out some companies will take a PDF if you ask. Might save you a headache next time. Faxes just feel like a gamble, especially when you’re dealing with stuff as important as transcripts or car titles.
I totally get your frustration—faxing feels like something out of the 90s. I’m just starting this process and already dreading paperwork. Did you have to call and ask if they’d accept a PDF, or was it listed somewhere? I’m worried about missing some tiny detail and having to redo everything.
I had to call, yeah. Their website was super vague about what they’d accept, just said “official transcript.” Turns out, they were cool with a PDF as long as it had the school’s seal. Still annoying, but at least I didn’t have to hunt down a fax machine. I’d double-check with them just in case—some companies are weirdly picky about this stuff.
Yeah, I ran into something similar last year. They wanted “official” but didn’t specify if digital was fine, so I ended up mailing a paper copy just to be safe. Kind of a pain. Did they mention if screenshots from a student portal would work, or is it strictly transcripts?
