Outward only, inward just Tracked and SDs get scanned
Thanks for that info :thumbup

Another Q) Presumably mail centres have similar problems with delivery in getting items that don't scan with your scanners? Do they just go through (unscanned) or do you manually input the code?

I was told the R/M do not get paid if international items were not scanned that could be is that true. I scan everything but get a few each day that will not, these packets go through a lot before we get them so a few will get spoiled 92% is a good and hard target to hit over the week.
