Some tracking barcodes scan as International/COD

It appears that the USPS scanners throw a fit if a barcode is scanned that doesn't start with 420 and the ZIP. Typing the exact same thing manually works fine. Selecting "International" on the scanner doesn't seem to cause any problems (this was tested exactly one time, route was clear at the end of the day).

This could be annoying to fix, as it would require detecting the missing data and adding it back, without adding it to anything that doesn't need it.

This bug only happens when a barcode is typed into the app; when a barcode is scanned with the phone camera, the barcode on the tracking info page will contain the "invisible" 42012345.
