It was a pain in the ass knowing the ones I qualified for and the information about them, enjoy

Two weeks post surgery and i'm learning very quickly which everyday tasks are completely off the table for now. Laundry is one of them. I can't carry the basket, can't stand long enough to transfer loads, can't fold anything without being in an uncomfortable position for too long. My partner has been helping but they're back at work full time now and the pile is genuinely getting out of hand.

Been looking into laundry delivery services as a solution but i have two concerns. First, i have some things that need specific care, certain items that can't go in the dryer, some fabrics that need cold water only. Second, i'm a little anxious about handing my stuff to someone i don't know and having things come back damaged or missing when i'm already dealing with enough.

Has anyone used one of these services while recovering from something? Did it actually work out or did it add more stress than it solved?

I want to be specific because I've seen too many posts in this community that are either vague praise or vague warnings with no details. I used Palmetto Publishing for my fantasy novel. Here is what I got. Cover design with two rounds of revisions. Interior formatting for both print and Kindle. Distribution setup across major retailers. A project manager who was reachable and proactive. Here is what I did not get. Editing, which I handled separately. Marketing of any kind. Guaranteed sales or visibility. The cover is the thing I'm proudest of. I briefed them on comparable titles in epic fantasy, gave them a clear sense of the tone, and they came back with something that looks like it belongs on the shelf next to the books I was referencing. That was the specific thing I needed help with and I got it. Total cost for that scope was around $1,800. Timeline was four months.

15+ hours a week on shooting, editing, captions, and reformatting for different platforms. There has to be a smarter way. What does your actual automation stack look like?

We source raw materials from suppliers in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe and the payment timeline has started affecting our production schedule in ways that are genuinely hard to explain to the leadership… the issue is that some suppliers have started holding shipments until payment confirmation clears on their end. Which used to be fine when wires took three days because we could initiate early enough. But now payment windows are tighter and payments go from bank to bank to bank and are less predictable than they used to be

Case in point… last month a wire sat for six days with no status update that the supplier held the shipment. We had a production line idle for two days waiting on material that was sitting in a warehouse because a bank somewhere in the chain didn't process over a holiday we didn't know about. Finance sees a wire fee. Operations sees a production stoppage. Nobody is connecting them as the same problem

Is anyone in manufacturing who deals with overseas suppliers running a faster payment setup or do we just have to accept this broken system?
