Hah,hah! At times it would have been quicker & easier if people brought in their computer. As it is I fix most files free. It's easier than trying to explain what's wrong, how to fix and what exactly justifies my charging.
I've also had humongous PDF files from customers. I have no idea how they can get these files as large as they are. The files would work (sort of, i think), but I remake rather than upset the pre-press people. Touchy bunch.
I need a new keyboard so any mistakes is the keyboard's, not mine. $15.00 delivered. I see keyboards out there for over $100.00! What gives? I've had my current one for about 5 years and i love it. Might have cost 15 - $20. Spilled food & drink takes a toll eventually. took it apart, but it's done.

It's usually getting the native files that we have an issue with! The PDF's are inevitably exported incorrectly, or in a way that doesn't allow us to fix things. I think I've nailed down my verbal explanation of packaging InDesign files!

I've actually had customers bring their laptop with them and I showed them how to collect their files and put them on a flash drive.

So it doesn't work if I send you the individual jpg files?
We actually have a customer that will send 20 jpg files for a 20 pg catalog.

Volume does not signify value. LOL
But in your case it does: (despite I am out of printing business since more than 7 years) each sunday your new cartoon is my little evening pleasure
(and a gentle reminder of my old life
, plus a huge reminder of how I am happy to have left this business!!! 
)

ok, but that little cleverish prepress guy could do better telling the artist to save his file as pdf, than playin Gordo and asking '' a pdf of his file''.
We tell them what they must do, step by step and still getting s@it, i hope the creative director passed by a couple of hours later with one junior carrying a mac pro and another one carrying a 21inch crt Lacie, where color is accurate.
And no cables of course !

In your case volume as well as value.
