Recommend some scales please

[Chell]

I need some new scales for weighing parcels. Can anyone recommend some?

I have parcels from about 60g to nearly 2kg.

:thank_you:

I have tried loads of scales but the best ones I have used are these:

I think its because the tray is fairy large and its easy to balance large packets on these.

They can cope with parcels upto 5kg.

Also, some of the smaller more streamline scales don't allow you to see the weight as the tray and the digital or mechanical display is too close together.

Hope that helps

wow and a great price too!

LOL, that is the scales I has, I think I put something too heavy on them and killed them.

I was thinking that digital ones would be more acurate. I often have parcels very close to 100g, with digital it would be easier to decide if they are under or over.

Hi
I was looking about for scales a few weeks ago and found these

Have you got one of those sizing guides that they use at the post office. Can we buy them for somewhere?

You can get a card one (or at least used to be able to) from RM by filling in a form somewhere on their website - I got one before the post changed so I don't know exactly where the info is now sorry

These ones would be ok for small packets as they would not interfere with the digital display. Large packets you need a large platform as it would obscure the display.

I have considered something like this a few times:
