WeighMax W-4830 Industrial Postal Scale 330lb

Best features I no longer can do without: -Plug in OR battery! Perfect when taking it to the storage space to weigh a bunch of items being listed. At home I just leave it plugged in in the (ahem) "shipping department". -No more bending down, peeking under the larger packages to see the weight! I love the separate readout screen. The cord could be a little longer because the coil makes it so that it shifts around if placed more than a couple of feet above the scale. Some Velcro squares fixed that. All in all, perfect for the medium volume shipper up to 300 lbs., portable, reliable, just perfect.

Works great for postage and anything else under the max weight limit. Used it for shipping ebay items and and even a personal weight scale. 3/4 thru 275 pounds and extremely accurate thru the range I have tested. The shipping items were compared with two different postal scales and was right on the money. My personal weight was checked with a recently calibrated scale at the gym I go to and the high end is on the money too. Have only had trouble with items less than 8 ounces, not too accurate there. All things considered, a great buy for the money!

When I started selling items online, I needed a scale that would accommodate a variety or carton sizes, from the smallest to huge. The scale has been perfect. I always double-check at the post office to see if the weight is accurate, and it's always spot on.

I am an online seller and usually my items are less than 30 lbs so I own a table-top 30-lb scale. I am now selling more and more heavier items and the old bathroom scale just does not compare.

The place where I work ships a lot of boxes so I had to find a durable and precise scale that would work without any major maintenance issues. I like this scale because it can give you a weight in pounds or kilograms and it has the zero-out tare function. This is the function where you can put a container on it, zero-out the tare and then put the object you really want to weigh inside for a precise measurements. We use it everyday and I've even seen people weigh themselves on it for fun. So, it's a pretty good quality scale. My only issue with it is that the black corded line is a little short so you have to kind of find a low shelf or something to set it on to read the numbers. Because the cord is kind of short, it gets tugged easily so you end up having to wedge it against a rigid object to keep it from shifting around. Other than that, it's good.

I bought this particular scale because I wanted something accurate that did not have any glass to break, as far too many other scales have these days. Some previous reviews had mentioned the inconveniently high amounts of weight this scale used to require for the recalibration procedure - "asks you calibrate it with 50kg, 100kg and 150kg weights." I was pleased to discover when I received my scale, ordered in Jan 2021, that the scale has been quietly redesigned so that it now needs only 10 lbs of weight to calibrate with. I was easily able to do this with home exercise dumbbells. The scale's readings have all seemed very accurate, and matched up perfectly with the scale at my doctor's office on the day I had an appointment. In addition to the calibration weight difference which is stated in the instruction sheet, the control panel has now also been subtly redesigned to add a 'hold' feature - see attached image showing the old design which is still reflected in the official product images as of Mar 2021, compared to the new design which I received.

Works great so far. The calibration seems to be pretty close to what UPS and the USPS says, so good enough for me. It's a little cheep in materials, but exactly in line with what to expect for the money. Easy to use and figure out. I do wish they had made the cord detachable from the scale for easier storage and/or extension of the cord. I haven't need the cord to be longer, but they could have used a common phone/ethernet connector and then it would be easier to break down and people could add extensions if they needed to.

This really helps out when Im needing to weight stuff for my business! It is small enough that it does not take up much room, but big enough for large packages. I haven't had the chance to weigh anything over 300 pounds but I did have a couple packages that were around 260 lbs and it weighed it perfectly. I love that the small box to see the pounds is removable for those large packages.
