Scanning only 5 picked up parcels

[The Happy Friar]

The 5 refers to the pickup itself. The scanner while under customer pickup in the reccs menu only lets you scan 5. Then you can scan all parcels under prepaid acceptance back at the office for EOS time.

didn't think of that. Good idea.

I cannot say what we are supposed to do... I have been approached in the past for not having manifests for many of my pickups. I have 20-30 ebay customers who ship 50-300 pkgs daily. I dont really concern myself with the manifest. I want my customers served. So I do my "R" "O" "manifest or no" scan and then the top 5 scans. Then I ALWAYS immediately scan all packages under "H" prepaid acceptance scan. What this does is generate a trackable pickup online for all the pkgs. The manifests are only used internally and my customers never see the time picked up unless I scan prepaid. So for their sake, that is what I will always do.

So according to a Union ADR, if mgmt doesn't want any scanned, don't scan. If they only want 5, do as you're instructed. BUT if mgmt changes their mind later, then we can grieve it and have the route adjusted to reflect the change. Document EVERYTHING! Get it in writing what is to be done if mgmt orders not to fully scan on location for pickups. If you get 20 pkgs for pickup, note that on your 4240 for possible later reference when mgmt "changes their mind". Then when they suddenly want ALL pkgs scanned, a grievance can be filed & won! It's the lack of documented proof that screws us when the rules suddenly change.

Just think... if you only do 5 scans per pickup & nothing is in writing, then mgmt later instructs ALL are to be scanned, where is your proof that this wasn't done during count?

Just love this comment!!! So very true!!
