Best Shipping and Postal Scales (2022)
Shipping and Postal scales have become a necessity for most e-commerce store owners, or for that matter, any businesses that find themselves sending out mailing packages on a regular basis. To avoid paying extra at the postage offices, these scales can be an essential tool for you to save both money and time. Not only do they help save paying extra money for the packages, but their impact on reducing your overall costs for the business can be significant. Unlike any other gadgets you may shop for your business, shopping for shipping scales and postal scales might not be the most exciting thing to do.
Here are the top four benefits of owning the correct postal or shipping scale at your office:
- Owning a shipping or postal scale can save you time. Getting each package weighed can be challenging when sending out multiple packages a day. You can weigh all your packages at your office when you own a shipping scale before sending them out through a postal service.
- Shipping and Postal scales can save you the overinflated package shipping costs. When you haven't weighed your packages properly, you might end up spending a lot of money on extra shipping charges. Owning a scale yourself saves you this extra money spent.
- Provide accurate reading every time. An excellent high-quality scale can provide you with precise reading each time without worrying about wrong numbers.
- Multiple options are available with longer durability. Shipping and postal scales come in different varieties. A high-quality scale can last for long periods of time. Hence, this one-time investment can save you money and time.
We've covered the best shipping and postal scales you should consider buying in 2022 for your business to make your life and decisions a little easier.
Shipping and postal scales can often be divided into three categories:
- Light-duty Range Scales
- Medium-duty Range Scales, and
- Heavy-duty Range Scales
Let's get started!
1. Light-duty Range Scales
If you're considering purchasing a light-duty shipping or postal scale, you could consider buying the IP67 Compact Bench Scale: SJ-WP Series. The SJ-WP series is remarkably different from many other
bench scales you might have come across. The key features of this scale are:
- A large LCD with White Backlight makes reading the values easy to read, with excellent visibility even in a dim light area.
- Bright and multi-colored 5-step LED comparator lights that allow comparison on three, five, or even seven levels.

3. Heavy-duty Range Scales
Heavy-duty scales are used for heavy packages. The light-duty and medium-duty scales often fail to provide accurate readings for oversized parcels. Hence, if you send out heavy packages on a daily basis, a heavy-duty
platform scale like IH1949 Blue Base Platform Scale is the best choice.
