Re: Digital scale question

[Guest guest]

Hi nne!

Last month I got the Ultra Ship 30 Scale (on ebay)... pretty similar ..

and have been very happy with it

1.

The seller, Saveonscales, was super fast shipping and easy to work

with.

I will be interested in hearing what others have to say.!

Wow, ! Thank you so much! I just placed a bid on that particular

scale that you mentioned ... it looks way cooler than the other one that I

had found! hehe And it's blue ... can't beat that!

What features do you all look for in a good quality scale?

I've been thinking of getting one just for the sake of figuring out

shipping on larger orders. That and I'd love to not have to stand in

a line at the post office waiting to mail orders. I'd like to be able

to pay for postage online, but my scale only goes up to 5 pounds. I'd

like at least a 30lb. capacity.

Thanks!

Colleen,

I think you have to subscribe to one of the services to do the pre-pay

postage... except for USPS PM. If any one knows differently, I'd sure

like to know how, too!

- I'm looking for a scale so I can register & pay online with

USPS PM. That's what I use to ship all my orders.

But I'm curious as to what types of scales & their features everyone

uses for their soapmaking/package shipping. Thanks!

Hi Colleen,

Pelouze is one of the scales I use. Got it at Staples, and it hooks in online to

download the postal rates and others. Once that is done, you just put the

package on, select shipping option and put in zip code. Price is diplayed on the

screen. Don't think it helps printing labels though. I still have to key in all

the info to get a pre paid label.

Hi-

I've bought several scales [from 100ths of lbs./gms. to scales that

weigh up to 13 lbs.]from OldWillKnott on eBay, and was very

satisfied.

For larger items, I bought a Tanita digital on Amazon and it's

great. Very simple- memory for 3 different people [only the last

weight]. As it's a 'people' scale and weighs in 10ths of a pound,

it's super for packages! [i don't remember if it was Amazon, or an

Amazon store. It qualified for free shipping, and was a nicer model

& cheaper than the ones carried locally.]
