Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Ultraship 75 Lb Electronic Digital Shipping Postal Kitchen Scale
Customer Review: Slick unit
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, it's silver, not black and it doesn't come with an AC adapter. Also, it's tiny - the platform is 6" x 8".
Although you can weigh objects up to 75lb, you'll need to balance the object (if it's large) on the tiny platform to get an accurate reading. You can put a square of plywood on the platform without messing up the reading (see below) if that helps with large floppy items.
If you leave the included envelope holder (or anything else) on the platform, the unit will automatically zero out the weight of the holder every time you turn the unit on. There's also a zero button which does the same thing. Neat!
The detachable front panel is a lifesaver if you have to weigh a large box (which would hide the readout).
At this price, it's highly recommended.
Customer Review: All in one scale at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been looking for a while to get a scale that could handle heavier shipping weights, but everything I saw was well over $100 and could only go up to about 20 lbs. But this is a very accurate scale at an amazing price, and even more amazing, it's accurate enough for letters and fractions of ounces. It IS made of plastic, so I wouldn't want to give this a heavy workout on the loading dock every day, but we ship out between 2 and 10 boxes every week, and it's been great for that. The detachable face is key to being able to weigh large boxes -- but because of the relatively small tray, your box may spill over the sides of the scale and wobble a bit, giving you a reading that jumps around. My way around this has been to place a small sheet of 1/4-inch plywood below what I'm weighing to give it a stiff base.Customer Review: Good and accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a scale for Christmas gifts that I was sending out. My 11lb kitchen scale was not going to cut it. The non digital bath scale was not too accurate. This is perfect for my needs.
I compared different items on my kitchen scale and on this. Both had the same numbers. I did my own labels for USPS shipping and the scale at the post office saw the same numbers I had. Having a postal scale, laser printer and half sheet labels save a bunch of time when shipping stuff. Laser printer because my post office can't scan boxes from my inkjet.
I was hesitant to buying because of some bad reviews this machine and the 55lb version got but I'm glad I ordered anyways. The 55lb version is the top seller so I figured I can't go wrong.
Customer Review: Versatile scale, amazing value
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: A great scale for my ebay business!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll keep this short and sweet: I bought the scale in early January 2010 for the purposes of getting the appropriate weight on items for my Ebay business. This scale has not disappointed. It is almost always accurate down to the 10th of an ounce. Are there negative reviews for this item? Sure there are. It's an electronic device, and you'll always have some that are defective, no matter what the product. I think it's clear that the vast majority of people that have purchased this scale have been extremely happy just like I have which is a great indicator that this scale will likely work for you too!
