Portable USB Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I replaced my old battery powered scale with this one and it's even better than I expected. This terrific little scale with it's USB connection gives me information on my computer screen of not only the weight of the item, but if you type in the zip code the item is going to it calculates the cost of most mailing options, 1st Class, Priority Mail, etc. It saves a trip to the USPS website to calculate costs. I'm sure there must be other scales out there that do this too but for me, I'm really glad I bought this one.

USPS PS100 10-Pound Postal Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had another electronic scale that wouldn't zero easily.This is simple to use and works consistently, which is how it should be.

Click Here to see more reviews about: USPS PS100 10-Pound Postal Scale

Product Description:
Ideal for home offices or small businesses that send out a high volume of mail, the PS100 postal scale helps you determine the correct postage for any item weighing between 0 and 10 pounds. The scale is equipped with four optimally placed single-strain gauges and a temperature-compensated load cell. In layman's terms, this means the scale is precise to within 0.1 of an ounce, so you needn't worry about your mail being rejected because of insufficient postage. In addition, the weighing platform, which measures 5.5 by 5 inches and is made of fine-textured, high-impact ABS plastic, sports a fold-up top for weighing oversized items, such as large flat envelopes or mailing tubes.
Other conveniences include an easy-to-read seven-segment LCD display, a Tare function that lets you re-set the "zero" weight (great for weighing loose items in a container without counting the container itself), mechanical overload protection should you weigh an item that exceeds 10 pounds, and a five-minute auto-off function that preserves power. Plus, you can power the scale via either the included AC adapter or a separately sold 9-volt battery. The latter option is great for business professionals who travel frequently to trade shows and other on-the-go locations.
The PS100 scale, which features a warm-up time of one minute and a minimum weight of 0.1 ounce, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

50lb/ 23kg USB STAMPS.COM POSTAL SCALES, BLACK COLOR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This scale is by DigiWeigh, I'd never heard of the company but this was a good priced scale and could be powered by USB which was one of the things I was looking for.The scale arrived and was DOA, it wouldn't display anything but 0.00.I went to DigiWeighs website and followed their directions for support.I got a generic response that the item would need to be sent in for repair or replacement.So I'm into the scale another $10+ to ship it to them.I used delivery confirmation to make sure it got there which it did.Their site says they will update the RMA status once they receive the package.I waited a week, no status update.I finally emailed their support and they said the replacement was on it's way back, even though the status on their site was still pending.The replacement arrived and I tested it right away, this one didn't display 0.00, it just randomly jumped up and down numbers.I decided to take it apart and take a look, there are a few wires that connect the weight to the PCB board inside and slight movements of wires and the display would go crazy.I was able to position the wires just right and get an item to weigh, but when I moved the scale the numbers started jumping again.I'm not going to send a second scale back and waste more money on this product, I'll just cut my losses and go with a brand I can rely on.

Pelouze PS5DL 5 lb x 0.1 oz Digital Rate Computing Postal Shipping Scale w/ Downloadable Rate Updates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)1. The unit comes with no rates in it. You must hook it up to your computer using a special cable (hope you have the right port for it) and then sign up at pelouze to get the rate file and the software that loads it into the unit. i had a lot of trouble getting the downloaded file to run - windows felt it was not safe to open (it is a self-extracting zip file and ends with two suffixes, .zip.exe, and windows did not like it). I had to call customer service. Also, the phone number given in the box for customer service is the old customer service number from before pelouze was bought out and it does not work.

2. When the rates change, you will have to pay pelouze for the new rate file, and it is expensive.

3. After you place an item on the scale it gives the weight. You must then press another button to get the cost of postage. If you have 50 things to mail, you get to press this button 50 times. The previous pelouze scale i had (the one that you can set the rates yourself) did not make you press a button each time like this.

4. since the postal rate now also depends both on the size of the item as well as the weight, you still need to keep a paper postal rate chart and a ruler for larger items. since you need these items anyway, and since this scale is so much more expensive than a scale that does not calculate the rate, my advice is just to get a simple scale and use the money you save to buy stamps.

5. if you really must have a scale that calculates the postage, get the pelouze rate-programmable (not internet downloadable) one.Pelouze(R) 2 Lb. Rate-Programmable Electronic Scale

Royal eX-3 3-Pound Digital Postal/Kitchen Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a long time I was looking for a scale that measured less than 5 ounces accurately. I thought I found one with the Royal eX-3. When I first got it, it was acting kind of weird. What I mean by this is, when I pressed the power button, nothing would pop up on the screen. So I figured that was because the unit was new. Then I tried to turn the unit off, it wouldn't go off. This scale turns off by itself after 2-3 minutes so I had to wait for it to do that. So I turned it on again, low and behold the 0.0 that is supposed to appear came on the screen. I started weighing stuff and it was excellent. Then I didn't use the scale for a few days, the same thing that was happening to me when I first got it started happening again. UGH! Simply pressing the power button on this unit didn't do the trick. I had to press the power button again but quickly then the 0.0 would appear. This is crazy. Then something else started happening. When I would press the power button, the numbers started going up and up for no reason and there wasn't even anything being weighed on the scale.
This scale is erratic, unpredictable and a total waste of money.
Please take my and everyone else's advice on here and don't buy this scale. It's basically just a poorly made plastic toy.

Product Description:
Ideal for use in the kitchen or small office mailroom, the Royal EX-3 digital postal scale offers a number of useful functions in one sleek package. With a maximum weight of 3 pounds, this scale includes a fold-out stand to support oversize envelopes easily. The one-touch tare function allows users to reset the scale to weigh the contents of a bowl or package without including the weight of the container, which can be especially handy in the kitchen. The hold button leaves the weight onscreen after the package has been removed, making the correct reading of weights for oversize packages particularly easy to manage. There are three weight modes on the EX-3--ounces only, pounds and ounces, or grams. Weights are measured in 0.1-ounce or 2-gram increments. A sturdy and replaceable rate chart is included, and updates may be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site. Royal offers a one-year limited warranty.

Pelouze PS20DL Internet Downloadable Digital Postal Scale, 9-1/2 x 8 Platform, 20-lb. Capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the PS20DL for $103.00 in December of 2004. I used it for weighing gift packages to determine postage that I then ship to family and friends for birthday's and other holidays. It was never used for commercial purposes.For 18 months, I was very pleased with the scale.

In July, 2006, just 18 months from the date of purchase, the unit failed. About 3 minutes after turning it on, the LCD display goes blank, then shows strange characters and a loud, high pitched whistle can be heard coming from the base of the unit. I'm unable to weigh anything and the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. I tried a new battery, and it still fails.

I contacted Pelouze customer support and Heidi Brannigan, of Pelouze Office Products, told me "This unit will need to be repaired. The warranty is one year from original date of purchase. We do not repair these units out of warranty." Since the unit is out of warranty, I asked Heidi if she at least knew what the problem was and if she could recommend a repair facility. Here's her response: "I am not sure what exactly is wrong with the unit. As I stated we do not repair this unit out of warranty nor do we know of any outside repair facilities."

I'm not happy that this scale only lasted 18 months, and that Pelouze offers no means of repair or support after 1 year. To them, $103 is disposable. To me, $103 is a lot of money.

USPS PS-105 5 lb. Desk Top Postal Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been very pleased with the few times I have used this scale so far. I had a package weighed at the post office to check its accuracy and was pleased too. The scale weighed that package .2 of an ounce heavier than the post office. This was less than a 3% difference and if it was going to be off one way or the other this is the direction that I would prefer, so that I don't wind up having something sent back for underpayment of postage.
