A 110 lb platform covers the heavy ones, and the display folds up off the edge so a wide box doesn't hide the number. At $18 to $30 it costs about the same as a 66 lb scale, and it adds headroom and the fold-up screen. ## Fold-up display, hold and 0.1 oz steps The display hinges up 90 degrees from the front edge and has a backlight for a dim garage. Hold keeps the reading after you lift the box off, and tare clears a tray or basket. It reads in 0.1 oz steps up to 110 lb, and switches between lb:oz, lb, oz, g and kg. It runs on batteries or a USB cable, and you can hang it on a wall hook when the desk is full. ## Floor or desk: placing the platform Put the platform on the floor or a low shelf for heavy boxes, with the display folded up toward you. For lighter packages, a desk spot beside your label printer keeps everything in one place. Tare off any tray you use, then weigh each sealed package with the label on. Enter the weight in your label tool and round up when it sits close to the next pound. ## Smaller scales for smaller packages The 66 lb digital shipping scale covers most home sellers. Pick it if your packages stay small and leave the screen in view. Add the 500 g pocket scale if you ship trading cards or jewelry in envelopes, where a fraction of an ounce decides the price. ## The cost of a wrong weight Enter too little and the carrier can bill the difference later as an adjustment on your label account. Overpaying by even an ounce on every package costs you more with each order you ship. At $18 to $30, the scale gives you the true weight before you buy the label, so you avoid carrier adjustments for underpaid postage. Test it with a known weight every few months to keep it honest. ## Common mistakes - A soft rug makes heavy boxes read low. Move the platform to a hard floor. - Fold the display up before you load a wide box; folded flat, the box covers it. - Weigh the finished package. A weight taken before you tape the box shut leaves out the packing materials. - Round up when a reading sits right on a price step. If you round down, the carrier can bill you an adjustment charge. ## Guides - [How to ship a bike and other bulky items](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/how-to-post-bulky-items): Carrier size limits, length plus girth math, and how to ship a bike, golf clubs, dumbbells and a stroller. - [Small business packaging setup for 100 orders a week](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/packaging-setup-100-orders): The kit, stock levels and daily routine that keep packing 100 orders a week from home down to an hour or two a day. - [How to sell on Facebook Marketplace in the US](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/sell-on-facebook-marketplace): Local pickup or shipped checkout, prices set against your area, payment you can verify, and safe meetups for furniture, bikes and baby gear. ## Questions ### Do I need a 110 lb scale? Only if you ship heavy or bulky boxes. For mostly small packages, the 66 lb scale does the same job. ### Why does the display fold up? A wide box hides a flat screen, so fold the display up at the front edge to read it over the package. ### How do I check it is accurate? Weigh something of known weight, such as an unopened 1 lb box of pasta or a 5 lb bag of flour, and compare. ### Can it weigh small card mailers? It can. Near the 1 oz letter limit or the 1 lb Ground Advantage line, a pocket scale reads light mailers more precisely.
