Postal Scale Recommendations

[threestonebirds]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a postal or even kitchen scale that's arcuate and inexpensive? I doubt anything I put on it will be over a few ounces so I'm looking for anything terribly fancy, but I don't want to estimate packages and find out I've sent one off with insufficient postage.

We've got a cheap kitchen scale in the kitchen but despite the post office telling me by package came to 5oz, this scale marked it as under 4. For obvious reasons, I don't trust it.

You can buy postal scales at staples, they have all price ranges.

Wanted to boost this back up again with some more information:

I went in today and grabbed a scale from Office Depot, which will tolerate up to two pounds and just got done testing it out. I'm not sure if the postal scale was off or what but I weighed an example package, the kind that I've been sending off recently, and it barely came out 2 ounces, 3 under the quote I got from the post office. Knowing this now, I'll be able to input the right weight when I'm printing shipping labels which should hopefully help me save on money and adjust shipping costs in the future.

Very glad I made the purchase and would suggest it to anyone.

I bought mine from Sur La Table for about $15, I think...it weighs in grams & pounds and ounces. I do a lot of my cooking by weight, rather than cups, so they also double as my kitchen scales.

I just bought one off amazon by WeighMax. Digital and goes up to 35lbs.

LOVE it!

I have found my Weight Watcher kitchen scale to be very accurate!!
