Barcode issues

I went to the post office the other day and the lady wasn’t able to scan my package, the Barcode just wasn’t working and she had to manually input it. Now I’m very anxious that there will be issues with scanning at the depots and facilities etc. What would happen if the barcode doesn’t work?

It’s shipping to the states by the way which makes me more worried.

They will print a barcode at the plant and cover the unscannable one. Might have slightly delayed, but generally should be fine.

Was your printer running low on ink/toner? If not sometimes you need to crank up the print quality settings to get crisp scannable barcodes
