Hi Howard,
The clerk who picks up the mail from the collection box is REQUIRED to scan the packages that are in the collection box. There should be no exceptions.

If I were you, I would ask for an appointment with the Postmaster and talk to him/her about it. If the Postmaster drags his feet, ask for the telephone number for the Postal Operations Manager, who is the Postmaster's boss.

It pisses me off when the clerks are too lazy to do their job correctly, and it causes a lot of problems down the line when a package is late or missing. The Postmaster is responsible for making sure that the employees are doing their job correctly, but the Postmaster won't know this is happening if you don't make him aware of it.
