Amazon.com 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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good so far!
I just got this and plugged it in and I know it works, I haven't actually used it yet for any packages I'm to send but I'm hoping it will be accurate!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for Small Office
This is a great postage scale. I have a small business and have wasted lots of postage over the years "estimating" what the correct postage would be and adding an extra stamp or two "just to be sure". The scale is very accurate and will eventually pay for itself.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great little scale
I've been using this scale regularly for over a month now to weigh packages that I sell via the Amazon Marketplace. It's compact, simple to use, and looks to be well built. It's exactly what I was looking for in a postal scale.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works Great for small packages - so far
it took me a few tries before I figured out that it weighs in fractions of an ounce - so I was getting 1.9 etc for really light packages, which means 1.9 ounces. It only shows lbs when it's heavy enough - and it seems to be pretty accurate. I use it to ship things with PayPal shipping via USPS and I have to round up to whole ounces anyway, so it doesn't seem to effect the cost of postage negatively. As far as I can tell, I'm paying exactly what I would if I took it to the post office and had them ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Top Scale
Top scale, very handy to use, and saves time on not having to weight it at the PO or UPS store.
