Ultraship 75 Lb Electronic Digital Shipping Postal Kitchen Scale

I have a small business that ships everyday and was looking for an electronic scale for postage weights and weights on merchadise, and as usual Amazon had a great choice, a scale that lets you detach the display module to weigh large boxes or luggage yet still read the weight. Has any feature that you would want: tare, calibration and choice of grams or ounces, kilograms or pounds. Runs on AC adaptor (not included) or batteries with an auto shutoff. It's only limitation is that it cannot weigh to the closest gram which would be nice. But it is well built and is as good as scales that cost over a hundred dollars so it's a bargain for anyone needing to weigh things at home or business.

I use this to help me save money shipping on an auction site by using actual weight to determine the cost of my packages. Zeroes fine. I bought the AC Adapter separately. That is perhaps a little disappointing that it doesn't come with it, but it does say so in the description. The detachable feature is handy for larger packages, though it isn't easy to take off in the lurch. You have to pull a tab and then slide it off rails. This is nice in that it doesn't come off randomly, less nice after you already put something on it and realize you need to remove it. Easily done, though. More a lack of sophistication on the user's part than a problem with the machine. Its worked like a champ for the month I've used it. No problems so far. I would recommend it. The extra attachments could be useful, but i don't use them. I generally just send via padded envelope or boxes, so its usually pretty simple. Zeroing, btw, is done each time you turn it on. It counts down for 10 seconds and then its good to go. It also has an auto-shutoff feature if you forget that you left it on.

I used to have a retail shop and I sold digital scales for several years, I have to say this is a great scale for smaller size items. It weighs accurately to the .1 of an oz and the back-lit display is incredibly helpful. It also stays on for the perfect amount of time for me to ship multiple items without having to continually restart it. This is the 4th scale I have purchased for my online sales and I am very content with it. It is too bad I found bad reviews just because it does not come with a ac adapter, it clearly states so in the advertisement, (I believe it is unfair to leave a bad review just because you didn't read the product description!). I ship around 30 packages a day and I have had this scale for a couple of months now and have had no problems with it at all. I trust this scale. Recommended!

Great unit for the price. Two great options are the back lit display and the ability to turn off the auto off of the display. I run it off of a power supply and the ability to keep the display on for longer than 60 seconds is great. TIP READ the instructions on how to do this by default it is set to turn off after 60 seconds.. Removing the display at first is a little tricky but if you firmly pull it upward it slides up and works great for larger pieces. Easy to clean, small foot print, digits are large enough to see from all angles. Cons: The top tray is difficult to take off to clean. To change the unit of measure the selector button is on the right side. Calibration is accomplished by using a 10K weight which is usually more expensive than the scale. I will find something comparable to use to periodically check it. I bought this to use in a kitchen to weight out meat I use a separate gram scale for spices the combination is great setup. I chose the 75lb version as it was only a few dollars more than the 35lb.

PROS 1) It can weight items up to 70 pounds, unlike many other scales. 2) The price is not too high in comparison with other scales such as those from the US Post Office. 3) This is great for online sellers who need to weight pretty much anything. 4) Batteries or a charger can be used. 5) The front part of the scale can be moved (or extended) from the "weight scale," so you can weight large items (such as boxes) and be able to see the scale screen or use the buttons. CONS None that I know of. NOTE Some people mentioned that their scale did not come with a charger. Mine did. Make sure to ask the seller to make sure it includes a charger since it will be very useful.

The item work to the standards. Service was fast and efficient.

I bought this scale about a year ago and use it only occasionally at home. I have never placed anything heavier than 3 pounds on the scale, and I've probably only used it 20 times during the past year. It has already died! The display stays at zero no matter how much weight I place on the scale. It's just stuck at zero. I called UltraShip and they said to return it for repair or replacement; however, due to the weight of the machine, it would cost as much, if not more, to ship it back to them than to just buy a new one, which explains how they can offer a lifetime warranty on these machines. They know that no one would bother to return a broken scale when, for the same price or less, they could just buy a brand new one. When I made that comment to the person on the phone, he said absolutely nothing in response. Although the scale seems to work fine in the beginning, don't count on it lasting a long time. Probably due to flimsy construction.

I originally bought this scale because I started an eBay business back in 2008. Ten years later the scale still works but I'm using it for different things. I have since given up on eBay because Amazon seems to have everything and what I sell is no longer in demand. I brew beer and I make soap now. Occasionally, I use the scale to measure the ingredients I use for cooking. The scale is black and it is sturdy. I was impressed with how I could switch between four separate modes for the units: pounds to decimal places (1.5 lbs), ounces (24 oz.), pounds & ounces (1 lbs. 8 oz.) or grams (680.4 g.) with the press of a button. The screen is also detachable, albeit still attached to the scale by a cord. Like I said, in ten years, I've never had an issue and (if this thing ever breaks--I doubt it) I would purchase this brand again.

جميل للوزن

Elle est excellente, et très pratique ! jamais je n'ai eu d'aussi bonne balance. La possibilité de pouvoir tirer le devant pour mettre des gros paquets, est tout simplement géniale ! je ne pourrai plus jamais m'en passer, et si toutefois elle tombe en panne, j'en rachèterai une immédiatement !

Having put up with inadequate kitchen scale for years, it is a pleasure to work with these. They appear substantial and well built, but what I really like about them is that the readout is still visible even when weighing a large item that overhangs the weighing platform (this is a problem that for my purposes makes many scales useless, place a large item in them and it covers the readout). Even better is that the front section is detachable, which would make it even easier, although I haven't needed to this yet - and I haven't worked out how to do it either. I also like the fact that they can be mains operated if you choose, no worrying about dead batteries. If I have one complaint, it's the ten second or so wait when switching the scales on as they count down to a zero setting ready for use, and as they auto switch off relatively quickly this can become frustrating when weighing a lot of items with a time gap between each. But that's all I can fault them on.

Quasi même précision à quelques grammes prêt avec les balances de la poste. le transfo est un véritable +. Très satisfait de mon achat. Donc je recommande
