Something went wrong.
In the Chino Maine Post Office in Chino, CA 91708 We have been given a direct order to only scan 5 parcels. Even during count they have implemented it today February 7th 2018. And whichever RCA or regular carrier scans more than 5 parcels management said that the will be giving out investigative interviews.
Are you talking about MYPO? Or parcels from a UPS type store. We have a carrier that picks up between 20 and up to 60 packages daily. We are instructed to count only 30 scans (leave the rest too the clerk) but get full count for handling all parcels. Small spurs are counted as letters. Ask if they are pulling scan reports for the count off of RIMS reports. Always check your scanner at the end of your day. Take a picture of your scan total. Add badge, advo, depart to and return to office scans also.
