As a retired clerk, definitely have a clerk scan your packages. You can’t prove you actually dropped them off if you don’t have an SSA (Sales and Service Associate) receipt.
Try sending packages registered mail. Losing registered mail is one of the few things a USPS employee can be fired for, and the post office staff will do everything in their power to dissuade you from using registered mail.
Mail carrier here. We’re all required to scan packages or we get in trouble, if they’re not scanned when you drop your packages off, it’s because there’s no need to scan that package until it gets to the distribution center that night. All packages and letters are required to leave the local post office and make it to the distribution center by that night, last truck usually leaves the po at 6:30 to. 8:30 depending on the installation, long after the main customer portals are closed and the blue boxes are picked up. There’s no real need to scan a package at the local post office because all packages are placed in a bin and are then rolled to the center to determine where they go. Drivers do not scan any packages, only clerks and carriers . Useless video to be honest with you, if it’s not scanned at the post office,it’s scanned somewhere by that night when it’s unloaded and put on a conveyor belt
Not always ! I had an eBay package never scan til it was out for delivery 5 days later? How is it not scanned at the dock or distribution center?and eBay was trying to give me a negative strike for not mailing it within 1 day. Plus the customer was asking for a refund ! I drop all my packages off at the post office now and they scan them all before leaving the building , plus if the carriers aren’t scanning the packages when taking them from customer or mail box there’s no proof you mailed it and they literally could take any package they want . It used to be they had to scan them when they accepted a package .
@@maximussilverstacker3928 not every label is scannable, sometimes there’s inconsistencies in the print of the bar code and packages are to be sorted and routed with human intervention
As a mail Carrier in Texas.... all packages that come in are scanned by clerks and then put in each Carriers bin for their route. Then scanned again by the Carrier to be put in sections and then scanned again when we drop the packages off. We are required and are supposed to scan each package before we leave it.
That doesn't always happen. I've had registered mail that was only scanned at the post office where it was dropped off. Even though eventually delivered (which took over 30 days due to initially being misdelivered), the packages were not scanned even once after leaving the post office. To this day - years later - the tracking system still shows the packages to be in the original post office.
@@Houstonbeach Why would I lie? What I've stated is the truth. USPS employees are not incapable of doing their job, but many of them are simply too lazy to do what they are supposed to do.
So is your suggestion is to mail packages from a real USPS Post Office? My local PO has a lobby that is open until 10 PM with a kiosk. I usually use it in the evening (after traffic congestion hours). So far, my packages seem to get scanned that evening or in the morning. Is that a standard? Or am I just getting lucky?
Kiosk is great. I get my mail at a place like the UPS Store but cheaper. They DO scan UPS and FED EX stuff before the driver gets there. But there syatem does not interact with USPS system so the driver is Supposed to scan it when they pick it up. But this day was a different driver and they did not do there job. ( I had this problem before there). WhenI called to ask the post master I was told they were busy. so I explained it to the "assistant" and was suspose to get a call bback to confirm. been a week and nO call back.
My Post Office is six miles away and they always scan my packages and give me a receipt. I would just ask for the supervisor if she said she was not "required" to scan. The supervisor would clear it up I would think.
You are wrong on the part of "it does not matter how many packages you drop". If you drop three or five they will be scanned, but you need to create a manifest when you have several packages. Stop whining, it is not a scam, it is simply that you are too lazy to create a manifest. Otherwise, it will be scanned at the processing plant.
Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Flips, that making false accusations is "un-Christian," that is, against the basic morality that most people know they are to follow for everyone's benefit? Your making up stuff against our government undermines factual, productive criticism of our government and works against the morale of government workers. Who raised you to attract attention this way? The accuracy of my perspective on this video of yours is given validation by you taking your one personal experience with one post office and then maligning the entire U.S. postal service. Everyone gets to vote. Everyone gets to comment. But show some humility given your low level of understanding and willingness to make rank accusations.

Some people, are lazy & do less as possible. Know your rights!
I got fired from a job for saying that! 😮 😂😂😂😂😂. I walked out singing!
You dropped off at third party business…you want them scanned go to post office
Good info.
I’ve been fighting them in their anti constitutional stance

Great work on your weight loss. Health is our wealth, without it we have nothing.
If you don't get a scan receipt when you drop it off, then there's no proof you dropped it off.

she told me she would call me back to "conferm" that. It has been a week and no ansewer.
Here's a tip... DON'T USE USPS.... it's a government agency do you expect anything less?
Just use UPS or fedex. Go ahead and pay more 😂
that's why i don't mail anything anymore don't trust the post office 😊
