This digital postal scale from Accutek is perfect for anyone who does a lot of shipping. I am an eBay Power Seller and send out dozens of packages a week. When I first started, I would estimate shipping charges on the listing, then take the package the post office for mailing when the item sold. The first time I estimated shipping on an item to be $12.50 and it ended up being over $25, I knew I needed a scale. This Accuteck device has been a money saver!
First, this is a platform scale with a raising lid for accuracy on even the most awkwardly shaped items. It will display the weight for anything from .2 oz. to a whopping 50 lbs.--quite an impressive range for a compact scale. All weights are displayed on the brightly back-lit LED screen, making it easy to read in any lighting. I appreciate as well the option for ac or dc power, as I do a lot of fairs and festivals where people want to purchase items and have them shipped. Thus far I've used it on over three dozen purchases, and the weights have been spot on when checked at my local post office. Finally, and this might not be important for everyone, but the scale will display in ounces, pounds or kilograms--truly a bonus in our household as my husband is a Brit and prefers kilograms.
Highly recommended for anyone who demands accuracy and quality.
Note: I received this scale at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
