Does anything over 1 oz read 2oz ? Does it stay on zero if it is under 2 oz? I need a scale for letters and packages.

If your letter, or package is weighing in ounces, you will be fine. The scale will give you an output of 1.2oz or .9oz or 2.7oz or whatever the weight may be. The only issure you will have is if the item weighs less than .1oz (1/10 of an ounce) .1 is the lowest measurement of this scale. So if your item is less than .1 oz, then your scale will read either .1 or 0.0. Any weight of .1 oz to 55.0.0 LBS this scale will weigh without problem.I hope this helps.

The scale registers actual weight - if the envelope is 1.6 ounces, that is what the scale reads.

Good question! I never really tried anything lower than an ounce, but I wanted to help you out so I took out the scale and put just a piece of paper on it and it did show .1 oz. I love this scale and it is very accurate. Matches the post office scale. Highly recommend it!

I put something on the digital scale and it didn't show anything so i'm assuming it was under 1 lb. It wouldn't even register and I had to ship an item so I was assuming it was under a pound. I paid for the postage at 1 lb and 10 ounces. If it is returned i'm going to be in trouble. Can you tell me what 0.2 lb resolution means?

Yes, it displays ounces and even tenths of ounces...so you could actually measure 2.3 ounces. I also love the gram option when I'm making small meatballs that I want to be very similar in weight.

No, it only tells you the actual and accurate weight of the item being weighed. If an item weighed more than one ounce and less than two ounces, you would need to apply two stamps, etc.

I've been very pleased with my scale. I just now put an empty envelope on it and it reads .20 oz, so it does pick up very light items. I've been impressed with the exactness of the scale. When I occasionally double check the weight with the post office, it has been the same priced postage as what the scale indicated. I've been using the DYMO Pelouze M3 scale for a few months now and I highly recommend it.

It will display ounces, but not break it down into pounds. Therefore, 2.1 lbs will be shown as 33 oz.

Yes, it measures t o .1 oz, and in grams. I have no way of judging accuracy, but I've mailed hundreds of packages and never had the USPS claim I was underweight or had used too little postage.

0.2 ounces or 5 grams is the minimum resolution, as well as the minimum weight that it will display. USPS sets their rates rounded up to the nearest ounce below 1 pound, and pounds rounded up over that. If you need a scale that will weigh to the nearest 0.1 ounce or 1 gram, there are plenty of kitchen scales that can do that, but not any that can weigh up to 80 lbs!

I just checked mine , it measures ounces and grams. I have been using mine daily for months and it works great!

I just pulled out my scale to test this. I set an object on it, set the tare weight to zero, then removed the object. The scale reads negative the exact weight of the object. It also reads in pounds & ounces.

Yes. That is correct. I tested it tonight at your request. I placed three objects on the scale that all together weigh 10.00 oz. Then I added an object that weighs .6 oz. The display read 10 oz. Never did it read 10.6 oz. The same result whether the additional weight was .5, .4, .3, .2, or .8 oz. When I added a full ounce, then the display changed to 11 oz. I hope that answers your question.

I haven't had any issues with it for smaller envelopes. I send out bubble envelopes that weigh as small as 0.1 ounces and it's always been accurate. Anything smaller than that and it shouldn't matter to the USPS.

It only measures to the tenths place, so 12.5 oz or 1lb 12.2oz not 12.55oz or 1lb 12.25oz. I hope this helps!

I've weighed many 4" x 6" bubble mailers on this scale. I've used the same trick another reviewer mentioned - you place the plastic case upside down, and then press the "on" button. When it displays zero, add the bubble mailer (or letter) and you'll see the number of ounces. The scale's limit is a few pounds, so it's not meant for large USPS shipments.

For most accurate weight I would read it in grams then convert to ounces (28 grams in an ounce) I just tried a 2 gram weight which converted to 0.05 ounces when I changed units to ounces. (2 gm is the smallest weight I have)

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.
