 Saves Time and Fuel! January 29, 2009

When I began selling on eBay some of the many toy train items I've collected over the years, I found myself driving ten miles to and from the Post Office almost every day. Then I learned that I could mail packages from my home using the USPS Web site Click-N-Ship feature, getting a discount on postage cost, free delivery confirmation, and a big savings on gasoline by not having to drive across town every time I had a box to be mailed. All I needed was a scale to weigh my outgoing boxes.
The PS-100 10 lb. Desk Top Postal Scale met this need perfectly. It's accurate and extremely simple to use. The "Hold" feature is particularly convenient if one is weighing a large box that blocks sight of the read-out window. Press "Hold" and the weight remains displayed even after removing the package. I was also surprised at how small and light weight the scale is. It's perfect for a kitchen counter or desk top and can be easily picked up and moved with one hand.
It's really proving to be a great time and money-saver, and, of course, it can be used to weigh other things that require accurate measurement in grams, ounces, or pounds-and-ounces. Each of these units of weight can be easily and quickly selected for display. It occurs to me that cooks may find it useful for measuring ingredients by weight (although my wife and I have yet to fight over who gets to use it first!)
Just remember that the scale does have a ten-pound weight limit. It is designed for light-weight, in-home use, so I suspect that it might not be appropriate for a business selling heavier items. Other than that single caution, I find no shortcomings whatsoever in the scale and am entirely pleased with it.
Cheaper than the USPS Web Site March 14, 2009

This flat scale is a mighty little giant, weighing packages and envelopes up to 10 pounds. Inner panel lifts to hold items upright. Push button ease and much more accurate than my spring loaded weight scale. Just turn it off when it's not in use.

A easy to use, compact scale that can pay for itself in postage savings. The only thing missing is a screen that would tell you the postage due and the weight. Mike G
Use it to ship from home & in the kitchen October 21, 2009

I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of this scale. It took me a while to decide it was worth investing in, but I've already used it to save money on shipping by using USPS's click-n-ship feature printing out shipping labels after weighing packages at home (rate is cheaper with free delivery confirmation) and by avoiding overpaying for letter postage (additional postage needed for anything over 1 oz.) by simply checking with this scale - previously I would just guess and add on another stamp when I probably didn't need to but felt it would be better to be safe. I've also used it in the kitchen for cooking by weight which saves on having to wash extra measuring cups. The tare, hold, and different weight options (lb/oz for shipping, gm for cooking) have all worked flawlessly. I'm very happy with the functions and accuracy. The only thing I have to remind myself of is not to immerse it in water when washing flour off of the scale when baking, etc. I've had no problems having it wipe clean with a damp towel. I really love that it works cordlessly with batteries, but you have the power cord provided in case you want to use it that way too. This is a great simple scale - get this instead of separate scales for shipping and for cooking!

Love the product. Now I can be confident that the weight on my packages is correct before I print a shipping label. No more trips to the PO!
