Smart Weigh Shipping Scale Digital Postal Scale for Packages 440lbs x 6 oz

I've had this for nearly 5 years, it's been great. Very durable, very accurate, and having the separate display has been invaluable for weighing large boxes. I've also taken to using it to weigh myself, and it works great for that too. I wish it had a backlit display, but the display is pretty readable. I've used it with 9V battery and also with the included USB cable, works great with both. It's very well made. It does need to be sitting on a smooth flat surface: I ended up getting a piece of wood to put under it. The coiled cord is a little strange, and doesn't seem to add much value. If you were to actually stretch the coils very much I feel like it would apply force to the platform and could affect the reading. It could be a little longer, it's just barely long enough to have the platform on the floor and put the display on a desk. Another 12 inches or so of length would really help.

Works as it should. Hard to beat for the price. I would buy it again.

This weighs perfectly and looks nice and minimal. Would recommend!

Overall this is Very good scale! Quality is great, the cord is pretty long & the screen is big and easy to read. It takes a 9V & It has a port which I assume is for a direct power option. I plugged a universal power supply and it didn’t power the unit up. I didn’t really look into it afterwards to see if it’s a special power supply or something . It’s very durable and I can weigh my big items on it. I did notice for some reason the scale is 2 oz off. Every time I weight a big item a bring it to usps or ups they say it’s a 2oz so now I just calculate 2oz difference every time I ship out . I tried to calibrate it but it appears it didn’t change anything. Not a big deal when your shipping items that are like 10-20LBS

I absolutely LOVE this scale - I don't know why I waited so long to get it! I've been getting shipping supplies from USPS & UPS - boxes, envelopes, etc. I wanted to get a scale they had on their site, but it only weighs up to 330 lbs, and was $73, and I couldn't justify the price for what I'll use it for. I decided to try Amazon - and well...this is almost exactly like the scale on the USPS website...there's quite a few differences...making THIS purchase very easy! The Price for the Smart Weigh - better then any other scale I've looked at! Weight - I can weigh in KG, G, LB, and LB AND OZ! Battery - I can use a 9V Battery OR use the USB. It also has Manual or Auto OFF! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that there's a cord with the LCD Display - I can put big boxes on the platform and not have to bend down with flashlight and magnifier <HA!> to read it - I just pull the Display to me and boom! I also LOVE that this scale works on Tile AND Carpet!! I weighed a box of tools on our Tile, and then on the Carpet and I got the same reading. This is a well made, durable scale that should last me a very long time as long as I take care of it. I got this for 1 reason. I used to blow glass, make glass beads for jewelry, and ornaments for Christmas Trees <although people just wanted them for windows too!. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and broke my neck and back while on active duty. I got very sick in February and they just diagnosed me with a rare cancer in my lung <not from smoking>. SO~ I have to stop making anything with glass, as there are teeny tiny particles you breathe in when melting glass...even using a mask. I have at least 750 pounds of glass rods in my studio - that has to go. It sure helps to have a scale to weigh boxes that contain glass like this because it is VERY heavy! In all honesty - this is the only reason I bought the scale. BUT!! I can use it for traveling - YES!! I can weigh suitcases before we even leave the house. I was once truly embarrassed when I over-packed by less than a pound - but had to dig and dig to take out something to bring me under...all in front of "everyone" standing around or checking in. UGH!! But no more! For the $35 I spent on this scale - when I'm done I can store it in a desk drawer, or my filing cabinet until I need it again. I use Paypal, and when I make a sale....I package the items <I use Flat Rate Priority>, weigh the box <Flat Rate Priority does have weight limits..I think 70 pounds- but I've never gotten 70 pounds in a Sm,Md,Lrg Flat Rate box...yet!>, pay for and print a shipping label...then take my boxes to the Post Office and hand the boxes over! I have yet to pay any additional money - the boxes all weight the same as they did at home using this scale! I am so happy with my purchase of this Scale. In reading a lot of the reviews - I can see this company does have great customer service which I won't hesitate to call should the need arise. All in all - I absolutely recommend this Scale, and the Seller! I didn't receive any discounts or free stuff. I pay for my purchases!!!

Good product, just es expected. Perfect for our small business needs

I'm very disappointed to rate this scale as 1 STAR because other than the electronics, it worked well. 1 STAR is purely for the FIRE HAZARD RISK I experienced with this item. I purchased this item new from BetterBasics (via Amazon of course) in June 2018, so I've had this scale for about 11 months. Upon arrival, I followed the instructions for start-up which stated only the 9V battery is required for operation; however, the scale did not turn on with just the battery. Eventually I discovered the scale would only operate with both a battery and being plugged into an electrical wall outlet using the provided USB cord and my personal wall adapter. Thus, right from the start, the electronics were functioning incorrectly. I removed the battery and USB cord this month for a move. When I set-up the scale again, I plugged it into the wall first. Then I remembered the required 9V battery so I unplugged the scale, inserted the battery, and plugged it into the wall outlet. In a matter of seconds, my family members and I detected a burning smell emanating from the battery compartment. I removed the battery and placed the entire scale and components outside to cool off and later installed a new 9V battery without using a wall outlet. The battery began to warm and the burning smell began again--both increasing rapidly. After removing the battery, the compartment cooled. This was SO HAZARDOUS I decided to just THROW AWAY the scale and all its cords. No exterior burning was visible, but the wires were definitely burning from the inside-out! To give the manufacturer the benefit of the doubt, the electronics didn't burn until after the scale had undergone the move during which it may have experienced hot temperatures in the moving van that could have corrupted the electronics. Aside from the electrical issue, the scale arrived packaged nicely and was very useful for weighing e-Bay packages. For the past 11 months, it worked without trouble except for the odd power configuration (battery + outlet). I found the sensing accurate, although, it didn't sense very, very light packages (usually didn't sense less than one ounce). The display was large and clear. Overall the scale was easy to use. Again, 1 STAR just for fire hazard risk!

I’ve had this scale for five years now and it still works perfectly, weight is accurate AND on its original battery!

Lavoro in un caseificio e spesso devo pesare pacchi, scatoloni molto pesanti o forme di parmigiano. Ho deciso di provare questa bilancia proprio per evitare grossi sforzi o fatiche nel muovere pesi consistenti. E' praticissima, comoda e maneggevole, posso spostarla dovunque ed è semplice anche la lettura del peso. Veramente attendibile e precisa. Posso dire sicuramente che è stato un acquisto più che ottimo e di grande aiuto. La consiglierei a chiunque .

Ich war lange Zeit auf der Suche nach einer Waage, mit er sich auch Größere Ding (sowohl von den Maßen, als auch vom Gewicht) problemlos wiegen lassen. Vielfach habe ich nur sehr hochwertige Artikel gefunden, die dann einen entsprechenden Preis hatte. Bei der suche nach einer preiswerten Alternative entschied mich vielfach aufgrund schlechter Verarbeitung und Funktionalität gegen ein Billigprodukt. Hier habe ich nun den aus meiner sich optimalen Kompromiss: moderater Preis bei trotzdem ordentlicher Qualität. Aufgrund der gebürsteten Oberfläche der Wiegeplattform sehr robust und gleichzeitig leicht zu reinigen.

Very reliable. We use these daily for my Amazon store!

This is my 3rd set of postage scales and the best out of all 3, simple to set up, with the weighing platform fitting the biggest of boxes with the most accurate weighing systems which is also very simple to use, 4 Buttons, 1,On/Off. 2,PCS function that can weigh individual pieces. 3,Mode-Weight can be measured in kg / g / lb / lb:oz and 4.A tare function for net weights.

Realiza perfectamente la función en mi negocio, buenos materiales y facilidad para ser utilizado.
