    So the USPS delivered these packages?

    There's no verification built into a USPS label?

      This report alludes to (but IIRC stop short) of confirming that there is only validation at the designated ports of entry scans. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uspsoig.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;reports&#x2F;2026-04&#x2F;25-072-3-r26.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uspsoig.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;reports&#x2F;2026-04&#x2F;...

      My suspicion is that these labels are entering the mailstream somehow circumventing the &quot;first&quot; scan.
