1,476 of 1,480 pieces, plus 4 with no final scan recorded
Every piece carried its own USPS Intelligent Mail barcode, so USPS reports back what happened to each individual piece. USPS recorded delivery for 1,476 of 1,480 pieces on Friday, October 9, three days after they entered the mail. The other 4 were read by USPS sorting equipment in San Antonio but have no delivery event on record. That is normal: USPS does not record an event for every piece, and these 4 were very likely delivered with the rest of their route. None of the 1,480 pieces has a USPS return, undeliverable, vacant or forwarding record.

Letter carrier routes C014 and C027, ZIP 78250
How USPS tracks this kind of mail, in plain terms. USPS sorting machines physically read each piece's barcode as it moves through the network. The last physical read is the final carrier-route sort at the destination plant, which puts the mail in delivery order for one specific letter carrier, usually overnight before delivery day. USPS then records a delivery event when that carrier's GPS-equipped scanner reaches the delivery area on the route. USPS does not scan this class of mail at the mailbox itself, so the record shows each piece was sorted to its carrier and that the carrier delivered that part of the route. It cannot show a piece going into one specific mailbox.
