Accurate, sturdy, and perfect for heavy-duty shipping needs
This scale has been an excellent addition to my shipping setup. The aluminum platform feels solid and durable, and the 440โpound capacity is more than enough for anything I need to weighโfrom small packages to larger boxes. The readings are accurate and refresh quickly, which makes the whole process faster and more efficient. I also appreciate how easy it is to use; the display is clear, the buttons are responsive, and the overall design feels reliable. For anyone who ships regularly or needs a dependable postal scale for home or business, this Amazon Basics model is a fantastic value.

Great value. easy to read display
This is a great scale. I tested it with some known weights, and it's accurate enough for shipping packages for sure. The weight reading is stable, and the weight doesn't wander around. There's a couple of different modes. pounds, pounds and ounces, and kg. I have the 200kg model. that's weigh more than I need. Pun intended. I bought the 200kg one for the size, which is better for larger packages, even if they don't weight a lot. There's some rubber or silicone feet on the bottom, and they appear to work well. The unit is physically stable and does not have a tendency to tip. You can either drop a couple of AAA batteries (not included) in there, or use the male to male USB cord and a standard phone charger (included). The display is big and bright, which is plus for me. Yes, this is a few bucks more than the smaller one. It's also a way better scale for those few dollars. Having this one now, I don't know why I hung on to the older smaller one that I just replaced. Save yourself the 'upgrade later' penalty - just buy this one now. *Also, why aren't bathroom scales this good?

Good scale for heavier packages
Good scale for packages up to 440lbs. It won't measure below an ounce but it's very consistent and measures up to 440lbs. The only reason I took a star off is because if the package is light under 1.5 ounces it won't even detect it. Otherwise it's a great scale for heavier packages can even measure humans if you stand on it.

Excellent accurate scale
Great scale! It's not designed for a bathroom scale but that's (mostly) how we use it. So far, it's quite accurate. Solid design, easy-to-use controls. That said, the controls are external - in a nice box attached to an umbilical. This works out well for us, but this does dictate the best paces to use it.

Works great
This item has been amazing. I give 4 stars because it says it will weigh one ounce but it does not. very easy to use and set up. Nice features and the size it great for all different boxes.

Great quality for a great price
Super happy with this scale. I used to use one of the other common brands but they kept getting some ghost weight, so far this scale has not done that and itโs honestly even a better quality than a lot of the more expensive ones as the entire deck of it is metal.

Would not trust this for precise measurements
Bought the 440 lb model to weigh stuff around my garage so I can stop stealing the bathroom scale. It's going to work fine for my needs but I am rating this low because it will leave a LOT to be desired for folks that are expecting an accurate postal scale. - Appears to give repeatable, but questionable, measurements if you're careful (keep reading). - The claim that it reads in 0.1 oz increments is false. It can only read in 0.1 increments when the whole number is a single digit (0-9 oz). For 10-15 oz, the second digit takes up the space where the tenth of an ounce would be displayed. So you can only really trust the display to give you whole ounces. - If you put anything on the scale that's only a few ounces, it appears to do some sort of secret auto-tare function. It would be a nice feature but you can't turn it off and it gives you no notification when it happens. If you're not aware of this "feature" it *will* lead to incorrect measurements. The only way to trust your measurement isn't being secretly skewed is to manually tare immediately before every measurement is taken to clear out any auto-tares that happened in secret. - The power cord is a USB-A to USB-A cable. It works but why in the world would they choose such a specialized USB cable when there are 100 bajillion standard USB cables floating around the planet? Don't lose this USB cable because I guarantee you don't have another one laying around. - Some goofy rounding appears to be happening between the different units. If you put an object on the scale and then cycle through lbs/oz/kg, the values are not equivalent to each other if you compare to a unit conversation calculator. I don't have anything of "known weight" at the moment to test this further but I will update my review if I do. - The description vaguely implies this, but don't expect this to weigh anything that's only a few ounces like a letter. It will just read zero and trip the secret auto-tare function.
