Vinted pickups
- Thread starter Olive
- Start date
Clerk said no more pickup sheets to print. Anyone else have this and what do u do? ThanksOh, okay . Thank you. So, it's pretty much like an EBAY or ETSY thing. Is it the 5630 Scan Form ? You know, the one where you only scan the barcode on the Form and THAT barcode covers ALL of the barcodes on the parcels ? Because that Form is different than the "regular" carrier pickup Form.
i fixed it for you.VINTED not ventedsorry.
although...
we all need to vent about vinted.

This is another recks/ post office way of eliminating any true value time added to our routes. Since the past survey I have picked up 200+ packages(I have been documenting) Each package had a form. Last week I had 8-10 pick ups each day with only 1 form. That were hanging on my look ahead. I was told only 1 form was printed out. So instead of getting all those scans for the pick ups, it’s 1 form for multiple packages. I had 50 pick ups this week and only 4 pick up slips. Even when we do our job honestly and correctly we can’t gain under recs. 20 plus years here and it’s just sad.

Yes happening . Last Friday I was given 8 pickup form for the same house . I cleared one by one putting pick up amount 00 for six of them . Utilized last 2 form for 8 packages I picked up . Very annoying. Probably gained me few paltry seconds for all the work I have done .
Then again last Thursday I am given 1 form for the same house . I pick up 5 packages with that . But scanner shows 3 other forms for the same house . I enter the numbers manually as 00 pickup amount and cleared all of them . Took me awhile. Very frustrating.
But what you know ! very next day ( yesterday) I get 1 form again . I go there — no package . Customer says they never had a pickup order for today .
Go figure!

You think every package to be picked up from an address should have their own form. !!! I am confused

For some reason the Rural Package Pickups are not clearing on look ahead meanwhile the City Carrier's Package Pickup are so we keep getting accused of not doing them. Another wonderful scanner enhancement from the super intelligent higher ups. Strangely, if the number of packages on the sheet differs from what you actually pickup, it shows the updated number you enter on look ahead while still not clearing!
This just started happening to me. I get one manifest that says one parcel. Look ahead says I have 5 parcel pick ups at house. I would normally get 5 manifests. Customer said it would only let her do one at a time. then this started happening (a long with other carriers) I asked management about it. He didn't know. (Shocker) My question would be do we lose our on scans/time without having the additional manifests.
the way it is supposed to be done is the customer goes to usps.com, schedules a pickup, says where the parcels will be and enters the amount.
we enter RRECS, choose O, say yes to form, scan it, enter the amount of parcels, scan them up to 5, enter.
we then get credit for the form and amount of parcels picked up.
vinted does not translate over. every time a customer has a sale, the MYpo form is generated. the customer never goes to usps.com to schedule.
the workaround is:
tell the customer to choose drop off for each parcel in vinted. then he/she goes to usps.com and schedules the pickup as normal from there.
everything has been working beautifully since i have told my customers this. my clerk also typed up the instructions and put on lobby door.
hope that helps.

There is painful way of clearing . Every address you have a form for , when you go there check against the scanner . See how many forms shows there . First series of numbers are form barcode numbers . Then you painfully enter manually if you have extra forms . I did 00 as pick up amount for them . I would think you can distribute to more then 1 form if you have more than 5 packages too . Very very annoying. But it will clear
I spoke to a customer who ships from home business daily. She just started using Vinted and told me Vinted has a special pick up form on their website that requests they drop the parcel at a "mailboxes" store, even though it generates a USPS barcode and label. I pick them up as if I didn't have a pickup form per scanner. At end of day it shows the pickup.

Been dealing with this for the past month. When I mentioned to manager about the missing forms that aren't clearing, i started getting all the forms which felt even worse. I had 12 for one house. Scanning them all and picking up the 12 parcels took about 6 or 7 minutes so it didn't feel worth the hassle of whatever extra rrecs time i might get.
I had the manager write a note for the customer but they ended up coming outside and I asked them to just do 1 pickup request per day. Now it has been fixed and i get 1 request with however many parcels they input for that day like normal.
