I, too, I have had issues with the PO. I shipped eggs on Saturday that were not scanned at any PO's along the way and they just made it to the BYC member's PO today. I also shipped eggs to another BYC member last month and they were only scanned when I dropped them off at the PO and never scanned when they were delivered. I contacted the member and they were delivered on time, but had they not been honest, I never would have known. Also, I shipped another package of eggs, and USPS 'Missent' them, but at least they, too, arrived on time. None of the Post Office branches that are close to my home scan packages at the counter when they're dropped off because they claim they cannot do this. If I want this done, I have to drive about 15 miles each direction just to have them scanned in as "Acceptance" for tracking purposes. This has caused a lot of stress and anxiety recently and am thinking of paying extra for Signature Confirmation so I will know when the eggs are delivered. My shipping labels are always prepared online at usps.com and printed onto self-adhesive shipping labels so delivery confirmation is always part of the label--it's less expensive and more convenient. I don't know what more can be done because there are no good alternatives to USPS Priority Mail.
If I were you, I'd contact the USPS regional site and have them call your local PO and tell them that they need to scan the packages. That just sounds incredibly shady. I've never heard of such a thing, and I've used a lot of different post offices to deliver eggs, all with DC tags on them, and they were ALWAYS scanned in immediately, as they were processing that package.
