Can this weigh small things like packages for the post office?

I don't know that it would be accurate enough for a postal scale, depends on how small. I'd look for a food scale that goes up to the lbs you need but that will do ounces for small packages. Most bathroom scales are not accurate under like 20-30 lbs.

If you have a business sized post office box then there should be no trouble however if I remember correctly I think it was shipped in a box. The dimensions of the 1 pound package itself: ~ W 7 inches by H ~ 9 inches by D ~ 2 inches. I think also that ours was shipped via Fed Ex to our physical address even though we receive postal mail at the post office only. I hope that this will be helpful to you.

The item came in an envelope and was lighter than 1 pound. I don't know the exact weight.

No. Thats one con of this item. But if you add a flat platform to it, and put your larger item to be weighed, just add the weight of the platform to the weight of the item.

the package weigh approx. 37lbs. it could be easily moved but a help would be better depending on your physical state.

I would say yes, assuming it's a reasonably sized suitcase. I bought this scale solely for the purpose if weighting large shipping boxes and containers and it fills this need nicely.

I would think so, since each product box has to be shipped the weight has to be accounted for in the price of shipping.

I don't see why not. I have used it to weigh all sorts of things, example being by husbands medication.

Can't tell you exactly. My postal scale (which is the only scale I have in my office) only goes up to five pounds. The 24 lb. version of this paper weighs more than five pound (500 sheet box). I would estimate the weight at seven or eight pounds.

I use mine for FedEx and USPS shipping and checked against the scale provided by Stamps.com and the weights matched each time I checked items.

No, but I simply put large packages on it and wait 5 seconds, short count, then the weight locks in for a bit. Remove the package and you can see the weight. I absolutely recommend this scale!

I don't think so. I noticed when I used this regularly without the bowl that if I put a box on it and could not see the weight, I had to somehow sneak or move quickly the box to see the weight as it disappears quickly.

It measures in tenths of an ounce, so yes. I use it primarily for small packages and am very pleased with it.

no... but assuming you're shipping something from amazon, ebay, or usps.gov -- their system tells you how much postage is based on weight... i ship stuff i sell on amazon all the time... i just pop in the numbers that were on the scale

Its Dimensional weight that the shipper will bill you for based on the size of the box that's shipped not the actual weight.

Yes, I use a postal scale for up to 5 lbs. I use this for large weights. I works great!

It is too light to actually weigh. That is why they are great for mailing bulky items such as clothes.
