We have been told to not scan these as the company didn't pay for it. It's fraudulent. My thing, so? Let the postal inspection service deal with it, I'm getting my credit. What say you??

I scan those catalogs as well.
The RRECS Guide has this ;
13. Parcels
The time standards applied to parcels and the method in which parcels are identified
and categorized are two of the major improvements in RRECS versus the current ECS.
First, the time standards are more complete and accurate for the actual work involved
in handing and delivering parcels. Second, the methods used to determine what is
credited as a parcel and which category it falls into are very simple. All arguments over
size, rigidity, contents, damage etc. are eliminated.
First, we will discuss what qualifies as a “parcel” under RRECS. Simply put, any normal
mail piece with a delivery bar code is credited as a parcel. There are some parcels
remaining without a barcode, but the panel made allowances for those items, also. (See
RRECS scans below.)
While it is each and every employee's responsibility to protect revenue, I would definitely get with someone from revenue to validate whether or not the service was paid. I always found it strange that of all the people that see and handle mail pieces along the way, that it was the carriers city and rural, that "found" something amiss regarding said mail pieces. My thinking is that you were told not to scan them because there are many of them. It appears that these are easily delivered to the box which is the least of the credit but management wants to limit parcel credit. By the way, just how thick are these ?

If it is fraudulent why are we delivering it to begin with? That is what blows my mind. Our clerks scan those in and we scan them like anything else.
I noticed the "HPM" ( heavy printed matter ) endorsement in the upper right.

I scanned every single left with individual. It's not like a parcel the customer ordered and is tracking

They are a tad thinner than Uline, but heavy. It’s like they used lead for the paper. Our clerks scanned them AAU, so we scanned them all. I’d say about a 1/2 -3/4 tray full of them

Do not do this unless you are actually handing it to the customer. This is falsification and could be considered as “wage theft”.
Mgmt can pull up a list of where each package for any given day is scanned as delivered. I have seen mgmt go out & find those packages NOT where they were said to be delivered. The carrier did get into trouble.

If you wave a parcel at a customer raking leaves in his yard and place it in his box while he is busy, why would there be any trouble? I consider thise delivered to the individual all the time.

Wow, I'm glad you cleared that up for me, as sometimes I find a parcel in my mailbox that had been scanned as left with individual... maybe my mailman saw me out in the yard and waved at me on those days... makes perfect sense now...
Most people just want their package & don’t give a f$&k about scans.

I get that Informed Delivery nonsense, and so when I click on the parcel being delivered, it tells me where to look... So when I see "left with individual", I always ask my wife if she got it, and if she says no, then I figure it's likely in the mailbox
... and yes, I could give a flying flip, as long as I get the package... and that's always the big if, as I watch them sending it to wrong PO's and back and forth from the hubs, and all the other nonsense they do....
