Barcodes on the Order Summary report are unscannable

Our packers find it most efficient to print the order summary report for pick-pack-ship instead of individual packing slips.
However, the barcode for the order/shipment ID on the Order summary report is un-scannable.
When compared side-by-side to the same barcode on the packing slip, it's clear there are extraneous characters on the beginning and end of the order summary barcode.
I've attached an image contrasting two barcodes for the same order, one from the packing slip and one from the order summary.
This has been with support now for 22+ days and has been "escalated" to their development team.
They haven't returned my recent-most calls.  First-tier support claims they, "have someone reach out" 
Not.
Is anyone else scanning the barcodes on the order summary report successfully?
Thanks!

Hey there @epommerer, 

 

Thanks for joining us here in the community space! We are so happy to have you with us 🙂 

 

You've done precisely the right thing by reaching out to our support team for this type of behavior. Thank you for being patient as the team continues to investigate this matter. 

 

I assure you we are working diligently, but these can take some time to resolve. When there are any updates in your case, you will either be updated directly on that same email thread and/or I will update this post accordingly.

M.Davis,
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, it's now been a month-and-a-half.
Promises of escalation and return calls and updates go unfulfilled.
This is disappointing and frustrating.

We're now at the two-month mark with this issue.
Is it impossible to replicate the good barcode on the Packing Slip form as a barcode on the Order Summary form?
My (seeming automated) response from Support was,

"At this time we have no additional updates from our development team on this issue. We are awaiting on our development team to review this further and have no ETA on when a resolution will occur. We will be sure to update you with any necessary information as we continue to troubleshoot further."

What I hear with my frustrated ears is, "It's too inconsequential for us to have looked at yet after two months."

Now past month five.
Any expectation that Shipstation will address this is lost.
Thanks for nothing.
