Can this be used as a postal scale also?

It only measures in grams. If you do the mathematical conversion on a calculator to ounces, I suppose you could.

I'm sure it can. This scale is highly accurate, the only limitation would be the maximum capacity for the scale which is 11lbs. Package size may also be a limitation as it is rather small and may limit visibility to the display. I have trouble with it while trying to use a plate to weigh my food, so imagine using it for a package.

It will weigh up to 11 lbs. The only issue would be size of the package - it may cover the display when it is on the scale. The scale is relatively small at about 8" long front to back.

not with any kind of accuracy. it's not weighted for that as-is. You might be able to modify it for that purpose but i wouldn't recommend it.

YES! The company sells this scale with an adapter and adapters are available if you bought one without the adapter.

Hello, I think you may use it for letters (it called "Postal scale"); instruction get graduation: 0.1 oz/ 2 g. I use scale every day- it's work very,very good.

Do not depend on this scale. It is not accurate and you could end up paying overweight charges. I wanted to return it but by the time I was ready to use it for travel it was past the date allowed for returns.

Yep. The readout is placed so it can easily be read. THere's also a function that freezes the readout so you can weigh the box, remove it, and then see the weight. You could do a loit worse than this scale. Best,JRD

Yes, I have used this scale for very large boxes. Just place scale on level surface and center box on scale. The digital read out is on a long cable so it is easy to place it away from the scale to read the weight. Works GREAT!!!!!

If you're in the U.S., the answer is NO. This scale, as with most inexpensive scales, is not certified legal for trade. Scales used in trade, where a business charges customers for a service or product by weight, must be inspected and certified by the state where the business is located. Hefty fines are levied for using non-certified measuring equipment, and the fines are much more than the cost of a good NTEP approved scale. Don't risk it.

I think that could work. The stamp side is a raised surface so I don't know why not.

I'm not sure if a postal service would allow that. If they do, you can definitely use it. But the retractable piece that shortens or lengthens the tube can come loose at times, so the case could shorten during shipping and crunch the poster. I'd recommend a cardboard tube to mail a poster to someone.

No, it only tells you the actual and accurate weight of the item being weighed. If an item weighed more than one ounce and less than two ounces, you would need to apply two stamps, etc.

The scale is accurate within 1 tenth of an ounce. So as a postal scale it is a good product. As far as it measuring amounts that small I am not sure. Hope this helps!Stay well Alice D

I don't know that it would be accurate enough for a postal scale, depends on how small. I'd look for a food scale that goes up to the lbs you need but that will do ounces for small packages. Most bathroom scales are not accurate under like 20-30 lbs.

No. You'll want a larger scale if you're weighing bigger products. Otherwise put something (small box) on top of the scale so you can see under your big "object". Remember this is a low volume scale and only has a 10lb maximum.

That depends on how you define "large". The top of the scale is about 8" square and the readout is a separate module connected by a coiled cord. This will permit the item being weighed to hang over the edges, so one can weigh an item larger than the scale. This will work so long as one can balance the parcel or box on the scale, and the parcel doesn't sag enough to touch something other than the scale.

Not sure on that. I use mine to sell produce. You would need to see a States weight and measure person to see. They are the people who certifies . it is a nice scale.

Yes you can weigh your meat and then raise the pressing plate. You'll find the measurements on the stem.
