Postage Scales Buyer's Guide

Pricing postage scales

Pricing for postage scales is fairly straightforward. Basic manual postage scales cost less than $10, while digital postage scales typically start at about $75. Digital postage scales that compare pricing for multiple carriers, handle heavier weights, and can download updated rates can cost several hundred dollars or more. If you expect to connect the scale to a postage meter, a postage meter interface typically adds a few hundred dollars to your overall costs.

Make sure you're buying a scale that's appropriate for your mailing needs. If you have a busy mailroom that regularly ships multiple types of packages, a high-end postage scale is worth the investment. If you're simply trying to save an occasional trip to the post office, a basic manual postage scale will get the job done for a lot less money.
