what do you guys do with duplicate labels?

[Wally]

so ive had a couple of these recently... 2 packages to the same destination, both with the same label/tracking. seem like orders that were just shipped twice by mistake, not someone scamming. ive been just delivering them..

We are told to scan again, using Dup and putting dup in the right.

sheet one. stop complete. sheet the second one as a dup stop and in remarks note dup pkg. we used to sheet one refused and give to clerk upon return to building so he/she could put another barcode on it. we were told to stop doing that

I type in the shipper number and the last 3 numbers and get credit for 2 packages.

I do the exact same thing. This shows that more than one package was delivered using the same bar code done intentionally or not.

Had this come up as a Helper and this is what the driver told me to do. Add "DUP 1Z LABEL" too.

Scan the first one, out in prerecord.

Scan the second one, put in prerecord.

Prerecord, left at, dup left at, signature, stop complete.

If they are resis, DR the first package as a stop and the second as a dup stop.

That has been the way but how many of these are actually caught and backbilled... Probably none of them

I do know enough to where I will not be talking shop or driving by the "barn" 15 years after I have retired just so that I can wave to the guys.

Re-read what I posted and try to keep up. (I was on my way to town and met the guys on the road as they were leaving and gave them a wave). I would do the same for you only I would just use one finger.

If sheeted properly they are all caught and all back billed.

 

[CoolArrow]

You sheet the one and give them both that's it. Up to customer at that point.

AE said they all get caught and billed but need to put approximate weight in the box after the shipper number. I guess on the heavy side if it's not posted on the label.

 

[Future]

Not at all. I just know that there is more to retirement than "accidentally" driving by my old center right around start time just to wave at the guys or to spend the majority of my day on an anonymous Internet chat forum primarily designed for active UPS employees.

Just read the original post that lead you to your original reply ...... Guess... you might have a statement there

Scan first package
Scan second package. Type in shipper number. Enter last 3 digits of tracking, type dup in remarks column

We were instructed to do the above and give the tracking number to the OMS when we return to the building.

I'm surprised the DIAD even lets you scan a duplicate label---it never used to.

it doesnt... msg pops up stating duplicate

Shipper #, last three of tracking, peel off PAL, give to Sup.
