It sounds like I may be right: perhaps the difference in experiences comes down to whether or not workers are scanning the stuff as they should. Joshua: Hm.

From past experiences (very past, not recent past) I saw exactly what you described. Periodic updates of the package's progress, based on being scanned at specific locations.
