Your carrier should have scanned them at your mailbox when he/she picked them up. They should have been scanned again that evening when they arrived at the distribution center.

Your best bet is to go the the Post Office and talk with the Postmaster. Tell him/her what happened, and have the PM talk to the carrier about scanning packages when they accept them. Make sure you have the tracking #, date of mailing, etc. when you go in. Don't call the PO. Don't use the USPS website. Don't talk to a clerk. Insist on talking to the Postmaster. Do it as soon as possible.
