Ultraship has years of experience with scales for shipping and mailing. They are definitely great for the office or home business because they offer a wide range of flexibility. A lot of Ebay sellers use this scale because of that fact. Let’s look at the 75LB Ultraship postal scale.

Features:

Because this scale is designed to be used in the office and at home, you get accurate readings for both heavy and light items. It features “dual range” accuracies as low as +/- 5g for the lighter items and as high as +/- 10g for the heavier. In fact, this scale is so sensitive that you may notice the weights bouncing a bit before settling.

It has a removable display which makes it easier to take readings. The top plat form is 8” x 6 1/2”, so putting a big box on top would other wise be a bit of a problem. Detaching the display will allow you to read the weights easily.

It comes with accessories which some other scales do not. These included a letter holder and tube holder. It is often tricky to weight some of these items but these accessories really help make the job easier.

Of course the programming of the display is quite simple. It is easy to take a tare or switch between metrics. You will be able to handle pounds, ounces, grams, kilograms with this scale.

The option of using batteries for a scale is tempting and this one provides the best of both worlds. You can either use 4x C-sized batteries or the optional adapter. We aren’t quite sure how long the batteries last but plugging in your scale maybe be the best choice. If you do choose to use batteries, there is an auto-off feature to shut the scale off when you are busy with other tasks.

Over all the build quality is decent, but the functional ability of the scale really makes it worth your while. This usually retails for about $90 but it seems Amazon.com is the best place to shop for scales. They currently have them priced at $36.20 which is 60% off. It should come with a 30 year warranty so it really is a no brainer!
