The process on how its done was changed a few weeks ago, but it should still get a scan pre-delivery.

Yes - all tracked and specials are scanned IN at the inward MC, which advises each customer that the item is out for delivery that day.
Think you're getting MCs and DOs mixed up
Sometimes the customer is given an estimated delivery day and time when an item is scanned at the inward MC - sometimes even when scanned at the outward MC or parcel hub!

I have noticed that since the NWH went online, a lot of items don’t show a scan at the inward MC. In many cases the individual items aren’t scanned there, but the York bar code is scanned which is supposed to, in theory, update the tracking status for all packets in the York. Evidently this isn’t always happening for some reason.
