At most non-drop box stops, what should you do?

• A. Scan the package
• B. Take a photo
• C. Rescan all items
• D. Ignore

Answer: (A)

Scanning the package at non-drop box stops records the pickup in the system, which is essential for keeping the tracking and route manifest accurate. When you scan, the correct tracking number is tied to that specific stop, confirming the package was picked up and letting the system update in real time. This visibility helps prevent missing or misrouted items and ensures customers and the operation know where the package is in the chain of custody. Taking a photo doesn’t replace that official status update, and rescanning all items wastes time unless there’s a specific reason to do so. Ignoring the pickup would leave the shipment unrecorded, increasing the risk of delays or loss. So, the best practice is to scan the package to formally capture the pickup.
