What about if a package had a label and was successfully scanned at the pick up, but after making its way to the depot, the label happens to go missing. Who would the inability land on? Would you still get a refund you reckon?

Probably store dependant and would have to read their terms...

I like your way of thinking- you question assumptions, work around the obvious and always have an open mind for the "what Ifs".

In answer to your question, It Is carrier-dependent. Without naming specifics and for obvious reasons, It will not work with the carriers I liaise with at work. They scan the package on pickup, and also sign a manifest that's associated with Its respective package(s)- description, weights & dimensions Included.

If the label happens to go missing, they refer to the signed manifest and locate It by matching the details against the package. It may well work with carriers that do not operate In this manner.
