Good morning, I would like to ask for advice from the community, especially from those who are more knowledgeable about delivery dynamics than I am.
A client has placed an order and chosen the fastest delivery option because they had to present some designs to a company they work with in a few hours. Currently, the client is in China and has emphasized that they have huge connectivity issues.
I have already completed the order, and the deadline is set for 7 hours from now. Usually, I offer the client a range of subjects to choose from for the final design, but if they have connectivity issues, I am concerned that they may not be able to choose the design that I am obliged to deliver within 7 hours from now. In fact, I have tried to write to them, but they have not responded.
What do you suggest I do? Sensibly, I would deliver one of the designs to meet the deadline and deliver on time. After all, I have accomplished my part of the job and respected the gig's deadlines.
In this way, they will have time to look at all the proposals and then ask for a review and choose another one if they are not satisfied with the design I have chosen.
I would like to emphasize that I have fulfilled my responsibilities in completing the required work, and it is now the client's responsibility to confirm their preferred final design. However, since the client is currently unreachable, I am concerned that I may be held accountable for a late delivery despite it being out of my control.
What would you suggest?
