Are you drop shipping prints and albums directly to your clients?

Will you drop ship directly to your client or will you inspect each product before it's shipped?  I have been, however just had a client who got a print that was messed up and they were very upset that I didn't catch this before it was sent to them.  I had to explain that I ship directly from the printing company.  Which they didn't like the idea that I was "skipping an important part of QC".  

What are you doing?

Unless the product is simple and turn-key (basic prints on a known paper type, for example) I would want to ensure that it meets my expectations.

So, not a fan in every situation.

Aside from checking quality, seeing the finished prints is the most rewarding part of this work I think.

Although I do drop ship directly to clients when there are time restraints imposed by the clients. I explain that it's not my usual process.

I'm to much of a control freak, I have everything shipped to me so I can inspect.  Then I deliver to client with the presentation dressed up.
