[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 901361, member: 12570"] I did respond to that. As long as you are at the drop box location when you scan the box and remain at the drop box location when you complete the stop it doesn't matter when you scan the barcode. Suppose I have 10-20 pkgs in that box--you want me to wait until the commit time on the box to scan the box and then scan those 10-20 pkgs? What sense does that make? Scan it when you get there, scan the pkgs, complete the stop [B]while still at the drop box[/B] and then on to the next. This is the way that I was taught to do drop box pickups and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I scan the barcode, scan the pkgs and complete the stop while being less than 50' from the drop box, usually within 10'. If someone coming to use the drop box sees the PICKED UP flag they will bring their package to me as I am sitting right there. If I happen to glance away from the box I will then re-check it before leaving to make sure no one snuck one in on me. If I have time I will also scan all of the ARS/RS/ASD's that I picked up during the day while at one of my drop boxes. Work smarter, not harder. [/QUOTE]
