Lots of times, the scanback isn't necessary. I've often given clients a choice: 1) They can pay me $25 extra to go back to my office, scan and send, then go out again to drop originals (which is a bargain, when you think that another signing could be done in the amount of time it takes to do all that), OR 2) they can waive the scanbacks, save the charge, and have me drop docs same day, while on my travels. Many times, the latter means they'll get the docs first thing in the morning anyway.
I'm assuming a full loan signing, and of course, there are many variables that come into play, but very often, I've been told to not worry about the scan, proving that it's not really needed. Especially when a signing service is involved, it's often requested just so they can check over the documents before they're dropped off for shipping.
IMO, the only real justification for a full scanback (unless they're dealing with a newbie notary) is for a morning purchase or seller signing, where they're waiting for docs so they can fund asap.
