Mystery Time. 30 years in freight, and this is the most bizarre mix up I've experienced.

I swear this is all true. I will protect the names of the parties involved.

The story begins:

2 freight bookings from the one venue.

2 different carriers, the same sender, but different destinations.
Carrier A 6 items
Carrier B 7 items

Carrier A calls to say "no freight". That's odd, but usually when a carrier does this is because they have double booked the pickup.

A couple of days later, one delivery address has received 10 items. This was the delivery point for the 6 items for Carrier A, however:

3 items that were sent with Carrier A, and 7 items that were sent with Carrier B have been delivered.

The 7 items that were originally supposed to go with Carrier B have Carrier A labels stuck over the top of the Carrier B labels.

Carrier A checks paperwork and confirms the following:
They collected 7 items only. They delivered 7 items only. All the items they collected were correct - according to them,

Carrier A swears that they only collected the correct 7 items.
Carrier B has no scanning on anything. They never collected.

OK, hive mind:

Who collected the extra 3 items?

Who put new labels over the top of the Carrier B labels?

Who delivered the 3 extra items?

(My guess is that the driver stuffed up, and left items behind. The depot then thought the paperwork was bad, so relabelled, then another depot didn't check the manifest, and then the final driver didn't check the connote vs the manifest).

But, why? Why didn't anyone stop to check?

Anyway, I expect to have an answer within 24 hours. We'll see.
