I finally paid $40 to get my transcript mailed instead of the $8 online PDF
The PDF was fine for most things but one employer in Albany wanted a sealed copy straight from the school. The $8 online version got rejected twice by their HR, so I caved and paid the $40 for paper and tracked shipping. It showed up in 9 days and went through on the first try. Did the paper copy actually matter to anyone else, or did I just get unlucky with a picky office?
