I have to disagree with the Post Offices explanation about the scanning. When Fed Ex drops off their Smart Post parcels at the PO (We have agreements with Fed Ex and UPS), we make one scan that accepts the entire shipment, but we are also required to scan each individual parcel as "arrived at delivery unit". This way we know that each parcel on the manifest did indeed arrive at the Post Office. It looks like someone isn't performing their job correctly.

Once these items are scanned they are broken down by route and given to the carriers. The carriers are then required to scan each parcel with a "stop the clock" scan. These are scans made out on the street at the time of delivery. It could be "delivered", "attempted delivery", or various other options.

Each scanner has a unique number, so it is easy to tell which scanner delivered the parcel. Each route has it's own scanner, so if your carriers scanner scanned this parcel as delivered, then either the regular carrier or the sub is the person who delivered this parcel. Your Postmaster should be able to take care of this for you. The local Post Office has a computer that is hooked up to the scanners that will print a list of items that shows the scanner number, route number, time and date of delivery for every parcel.

Good luck,
