this scale read only in lbs I don't think you can get ouncesbut you can convert the lb weight to a ounce one lb equal to 16 ounceit is very good scale and read up to two digits like 5.75 ,2.66, any weight you get can be converted to ouncesthanks manzoor ahmed

Hello Rebecca,Your answer is no, unfortunately. It's only in pounds. You need to convert the fraction of the pound to ounces if you need it. But it is a quality scale, otherwise.Phil.

If I need 5 oz., I divide 5 by 16 (5/16) & get .31 and use that. So 10 lb. 5 oz. = 10.31 on the scale.

It will only display in pounds. You will need to do a little math to convert to oz.

yes you can set it to ounces, and it stays on its last setting when it shuts off. I haven't personally tried pushing it past 11 lbs which is the limit it states, but i've gone as high as 10 lbs 5 ozs on it. and it read the same as the scale at the post office. I can't imagine it working much past it's stated limit though. but i've never tried so..i can't say honestly. But its a good scale. Its light and easy to store away as its small. Something you can put in a desk drawer.

Yes. It does measure in .1 lb increments. I assume it is accurate. It is a slick little scale and I am using it for my weight loss program. I am not a big tech person, but it is fun to have all the additional features.

Yes, this scale does show the ounces. It is accurate, however since we use it in our Shipping/Receiving department primarily for UPS and FX shipments and not US Mail packages, I would not be able to respond to your second question.

Yes, this scale can measure down to tenths of an ounce and up to 11 pounds, ensuring that the measured weight is accurate enough for calculating postage for shipping or ingredients for cooking.

Hi Kat - just used it to weigh my letters yesterday - it weighs in just tenthsof an ounce, so you can easily check to see if you need more postage -this item is a small giant!

If your letter, or package is weighing in ounces, you will be fine. The scale will give you an output of 1.2oz or .9oz or 2.7oz or whatever the weight may be. The only issure you will have is if the item weighs less than .1oz (1/10 of an ounce) .1 is the lowest measurement of this scale. So if your item is less than .1 oz, then your scale will read either .1 or 0.0. Any weight of .1 oz to 55.0.0 LBS this scale will weigh without problem.I hope this helps.

No, this one is more of a kitchen type scale but for small measurements, including troy ounces, have a look at this one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smart-Weigh-Digital-Back-lit-Capacity/dp/B00IZ1YHZK/ref=cm_cr-mr-title

No scale measures volume. You can press the left button again and it will show pounds and ounces as weight. I hope this helps.

Yes. It's a great scale. I can read it without my glasses. It quickly settles on a number and stays lit for about 10 seconds. The scale is in .2 lb, so it will say 163.2 or 163.4, for example, in easy-to-read numbers.

Yes. It's accurate to 0.05 ounces (about 1.5 grams) so really small amounts. I have used it for mail also!

I'd agree with the other reviewers. It seems accurate within the .10 range although it will read out in the hundredths place after that. I've only had it differ by .1 from the USPS by that was for a 1-2 lbs item. My husband needs a scale that can measure the quantity of light items (like rubber bands) via weight and he needs a more accurate scale.

I don't believe so. pounds are broken in to ounces. then the ounces are decimalized instead of broken into drachm (drams) or grains. I only use it in grams and kilograms, much easier than the confusing pounds ounces etc etc etc that don't easily relate to each other.
