Scannable ULines!

Just giving my fellow carriers a heads up. This week on my day off, ULines arrived; luckily, my relief curtails everything /s (including political!!!) ... anyway I noticed the ULines had a QR code to the left of the address. Sure enough you can scan it delivered to mailbox or wherever. Hopefully they keep coming like that because our district rep for years has been telling us "ULines are not parcels!"

Is the QR code a USPS delivery confirmation code? Did clerks scan AAU?

Infrequently U-Lines do have a bar code to scan AND are service requested.

Those you write about -- one was delivered to me with the QR code. I'll check it out on Monday....

Yes . I found out by accidents too . What happened is usually they are passed out to us by clerks to the case or in tubs along with flats etc . But one day due to clerk laziness or short staffing they ran the u lines in package machines along with all packages. So end of the day the u lines which got scanned in the machine showed on the scanner as not delivered at the time of clearance. I don’t know whether it will really go towards our credit or not but I intend to scan it at the time of delivery now onwards.No matter it was given to us through the machine or in the tub . I get them pretty often

A number came up but I didn't pay attention. No, clerks didn't scan it in.

Last month the restoration hardware came with a barcode but clerks didn't scan those in either, does that mean we didn't get credit for the scans?

The Restoration, because they had no AAU, the scan credit goes to the scanner and route upon which they're scanned, as they're not tied to a route. So if you scanned them, you get credit.

Our clerks didn't scan Ulines....

If it takes two hands to case, like a fat ULine, it is a parcel. I was told that years ago by my old union steward, so my advice is to put them in your scanner as an unscannable parcel.

I agree entirely. Unfortunately our manager 2 years ago threatened to write us up and the district rep said they would not back us so we gave up and just did all this free work. So hopefully these barcodes are legit and here to stay
