United States Postal Service PS30USB 30 lb. Digital Calculating Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you purchased the Dymo LabelWriter Twin Turbo and use it with Endicia for printing stamps (great free service, by the way) this scale will work for you. You push the 'weigh' button in the Endicia/Dymo application and it'll either show you the postage needed for printing or give you options if the weight is out of range due for the mailing class selected based on USPS rules.

As a scale it seems to do what it needs to do: weigh. For the price it seems like it beats everything else out there.

The package says, "Compatible with Click N' Ship," but going to the USPS site it looks like it's as compatible as any other scale - you type in the weight. It doesn't magically enter those numbers for you.

The fact that it'll run off USB, battery, or AC power is nice. There's no transformer in the box. Seems like hooking it up via USB is the way to go. Even if that isn't an option, unless you're some kind of major eBay shipper I can't imagine you going through a crazy amount of batteries (9V) with this thing.

There aren't any drivers to install. You just plug it in and it seems to recognize it as a human-interface-device (HID).

Bottom line: Good scale; Works with Dymo/Endicia stamps and is cheaper (and can weigh more) than the other advertised options for Dymo/Endicia.

UPDATE (2009-08-16): This also works with Mac.
