Postal, Mail & Shipping Scales FAQs

A postal scale, also known as a mail, or shipping scale, is a device used to accurately measure the weight of packages, envelopes, and other mail items. These scales are commonly used by individuals and businesses to calculate shipping costs and ensure that packages meet weight requirements.

Most postal, mail, and shipping scales are highly accurate and can measure weight to within a few grams or ounces.

There are several types of postal, mail, and shipping scales, including digital scales, mechanical scales, and platform scales. Digital scales are the most common and offer the highest level of accuracy.

When selecting a postage and shipping scale, consider features such as trade legal certification, size, roller/ball top, units of measurement, capacity, precision, remote display, integrated display, and connectivity. It is essential to choose a scale that matches your needs for weighing packages and goods, with consideration for capacity, precision, and connectivity to point of sale systems. The scale’s display, size, and units of measurement should also be appropriate for your needs.

When using a postal, mail, or shipping scale, be sure to follow any manufacturer instructions and use caution when handling heavy packages or items.

"The technicians that come here are great! The best thing is that they know exactly where everything is and are familiar with all the staff. Most important is this service is one of the few that I don't have to monitor or call, as it is always automatic for them."

"I received a call from a gentleman at Conway Freight regarding your service at Conway in Louisville.  Apparently he was extremely impressed with the service, repairs and installations American Scale completed at the terminal.  During the years we have been doing national service, this is the first time one of the national accounts has called specifically to compliment a dealer.  He has never walked into a terminal and not called me with some issue that needs to be fixed.  He said a couple times over there was not one little thing wrong with the scales that he could find. I want to thank your for everything you have done to present because American Scale represents Rice Lake and you have made both companies look great!  The gentleman who called is also the person who controls the reweighs and scale purchases for Conway corporate.  With that said, he was impressed!"
