Nations Direct e-docs

Would anyone mind sharing how much they charge Nations Direct for e-docs. I have never done edocs for them before but would like to find out what is the highest acceptable to them.

Thank you,

I know that for normally want to pay $40.00 for docs. being sent via courier service. I always tell them what my fee is and they sometimes accommodate me. I would imagine that they wouldn't want to pay more than $65 or $70.00 for e-docs and I don't think I would want to take a closing for that amount.

HL - are you saying that you think that $30.00 is the max that they would pay for edocs (in addition to the regular fee I get) I get $60 for an overnight package.

I usually charge $100 for e-docs (base + $25). Never had a problem with them not accepting my fee. I know many charge the base plus $40 or more for e-docs. Use your own judgement.

I am sure that they only use me when they can't get anyone to do it for less...I only get 2-3 a week from them at my rate (which is my lowest...they are the only one that pay me less than $75, but I can't get them to pay me $75)

I think if they are in a real jam they are more willing to pay the fee I give them. There has been times when they will tell me $65.00 for e-docs and I simply tell them that I cannot work for that fee. Sometimes you get what you pay for so if they want to find someone willing to take a job for a low fee then good for them.. it just won't be me.

Just stand your ground with them and not be willing to accept what you know you're worth.

$100

When I worked for SSs, I told Nation's Direct my fee for a signing with eDocs within 5 miles was $100. Take it or leave it.

Sometimes they would use me. Sometimes not.

Even if I still took SS work, I wouldn't work for Nation's Direct. They treat notaries like dirt by paying low fees. I hope they go out of business.
