Where I used to work we had a Mailroom and I would plunk what I needed in a tray with a form to tell them how I wanted it to turn out and return to get it when it was finished.

When I always go back to the age old idea that the biggest form of flattery is mimicry, when it comes to going to the human being and saying, you’re cared for and your health is cared for, it seems like a much more sustainable option.
