That sounds like it is exactly what is happening. Nobody is "scanning" anything at delivery, when they are actually putting it in the mail box. I've actually stood there and watched as our mail lady delivers to the three boxes on our stand - she grabs from a tray, stuffs whatever it is into the box, then grabs the next stack for the next box. No scanning involved.

It sounds like there is a possibility that not everything that gets scanned at the mail facility even makes it onto the truck to go out for delivery that day. I can see where that would lead to sorting and delivery problems - if it's "scanned for delivery" and doesn't even make it onto the truck, where does it go until it does make it onto the truck?
