Review: Despite a few bad reviews, this scale is PERFECT. - I bought this so I could expand sales on eBay, and so I didnt have to make a special trip to the post office with an item i was unsure about the weight on. I have used it a few times since it arrived, and so far, I am very happy with this scale. It is very easy to use, and it come per-calibrated, so it was just plug it in and you are good to go. I had an item that i brought to work once and weighed ( a small urban vinyl toy) and its weight was 5.7 ounces. Knowing this when I got this scale I found another one of the items (same series and size, just different character, so weights should be the same or similar) and my scale measured the similar item as 5.8 ounces. So I will say it is fairly accurate on its weights, since all figures from that series of items should be about the same weight. I have weighed several other items, and have found it to read the same on multiple weighs, meanings it doesn't fluctuate when reweighing the same item, if it tells you its 5.2, it will tell you 5.2 every time. So it is consistent as well, I know some cheaper scales can be inconsistent with the same item. I have only had a few chances so far to play around with the scale and use it, but from what I can tell, it works perfectly. It also has a flip up tray on top so you can easily weight items such as letters and flat shipping envelopes. If you are in the market for a good quality scale, at a wonderful price, this is definitely the scale for you. You will see some reviews of buys saying it did not come calibrated, and it required an item of exactly 22.5 lbs to calibrate, and things of that nature, that has not been my experience, but if you happen to come across a situation like that, then by all means, take a breather and contact desertcart and let them know that you got a machine that was not properly calibrated at its factory and you would like it to be exchanged, I am sure that fine CS people at desertcart will be able to help you with that. So once again, if you need a great scale on the cheap, this is the scale for you!
Review: My Life Just Got a Whole Lot Easier! Works Great. Paid for Itself in 2 Weeks - If you've been thinking lately that maybe you should get a Postal Scale, but have been "on the fence" about it OR you just need a new scale that is accurate, easy to use, dependable and a nice size (8" wide x 8" long x 2 1/8" H), please keep reading. I have recently started selling things on e-Bay and while I am happy every time I make a sale, it's gotten to be a real tiresome and time consuming task to package and mail things. First I have to pack my box, then take it to the US Post Office to have them weigh it, come home and print the label from e-Bay/PayPal with the correct weight on it, and then take it back to the Post Office again. That's two trips to the post office for every day I sell/mail something. I've longingly eyed the postal scales at the Post Office(as I stand in the long waiting line) for $39.99, but felt they were too expensive. Maybe the Post Office scale is perfectly accurate down to 1 oz(this one is 2 oz at low weights--displays 1 decimal point for ounces and rounds up), but I don't need that level of exactness. I always need to add an ounce or two on anyway for tape, a little extra packing peanuts or bubble wrap and maybe even a freebie that I may add at the last minute. This scale is perfect for everyday use. It's pretty small which I like and doesn't weigh a lot, yet it feels and looks well made and durable enough. Didn't need to calibrate mine. It was exact right out of the box.(Checked 5 items against the scale at the Post Office when they weren't busy). I mailed about 20 small to medium boxes in the first 3 weeks and they were all spot on. I've used it to mail over-sized letters, packages 15 lbs and under and also when I needed 10 oz. of broccoli for a new recipe we were trying out. So far this is a great home scale at a reasonable price. It's not complicated, very easy & intuitive to use. And it's saved me an extra trip to the Post Office every day which is 30-45 minutes to spend doing something else, plus gas savings. With 2 kids away at college I'm always packing up something to send them. This has made it that much simpler and the kids are actually getting more "goodies" from home because I have extra time now. I bought mine through EZ SELL for $17.59 and just wish I would have bought one sooner and made my life a little easier. What you need to know: It has an On/Off button. The LCD readout is bright and the numbers are large and easy to read. It has a "Hold" button so you can still see the weight of the package after you've removed it from the scale. (especially useful if package is large and covers over the weight display) It has a "Tare" button so you can weight an empty container and then have the scale display only the additional weight of the contents.(if you need this) The "Mode" button allows you to switch between pound:ounce, decimal pound, kilogram:gram, decimal kilogram. All the buttons are clearly labeled. Has an auto time off of 2 minutes in case you forget to turn it off. Flip back top allows you to weigh items that need to lean on something. It runs on either 2 AA batteries included(if you want to move it around easily) or an INCLUDED AC adapter. Handles weights between 0.2 oz and 55 lbs. 10 year limited manufacturer warranty
