The user then delivers all the packages, recording the deliveries in local storage and upon returning to the office all the deliveries are transferred from local storage to the database on the server. Or at least that is how it is supposed to work. :)

Not familiar with the .saveLocal() method. I just save directly to a key:

localStorage['theData'] = JSON.stringify(vm.runSheetDetails); // Store
vm.runSheetDetails = JSON.parse(localStorage['theData']); // Retrieve

Don't know if that would work for you. You could look in the Browser debugger to discover the key that was used by 'runsheetdetailsDataService.saveLocal(serialized)'
