- Postal Scales
Every day, in every post office around the country, scales are used on a grand scale (no pun intended). Post offices implore the use of a wide array of scales for the purpose of weighing boxes and envelopes to determine the amount of postage needed to get the parcel where it needs to go. These scales come in all sizes ranging from the desktop size that is used by the postal employee at the counter where customers are assisted all the way to a floor scale capable of weighing thousands of pounds that they keep at the main post office for the county or city.
Other services such as Federal Express and the United Parcel Service also use postal scales to help determine the rate they should charge for packages they will be sending through their service. Some digital read out floor scales used inside the United States Post Office can be switched between ounces and grams if the weight is smaller than one ounce. However, a customer will usually still be charged for at least an ounce of weight. If the weight of a box is very large, the capacity of some floor scales can be as high as 10,000 pounds! The scales then have a conversion of ounces to price per ounce based on speed of delivery and insurance. This helps the postal worker determine the amount of postage needed to the exact penny.
Most floor scales consist of a platform, usually as big as five feet by five feet. This platform is made of skid proof material and has an indicator with a battery. There is usually a large digital read out that is tethered to the scale. However, this read out can be handheld and will usually have a cord that will allow the user to hold it while weighing items. There are some floor scales that are made specifically for use with pallets and large containers in warehouse environments. However, each post office is equipped with these kinds of scales to have the ability to weigh large items for postal customers.
Companies that have a high demand for postage will sometimes purchase their own post office scale in order to meter their own postage on business related items. A postage scale can seem like a small investment, but can turn into a huge benefit for the company. The scale most businesses purchase is small enough to fit on a desktop or file cabinet, but can weigh packages up to 70 pounds. These scales can weigh each piece of mail individually and meter them with the exact right amount of postage. It saves the business the time of one of their employees as they will not have to run back and forth to the post office each day. It also saves the business money on potential overpayment of postage. Also, if your business doesn’t have an official postage meter scale, it is possible to weigh your items on any desk or floor scale and then use the USPS website to determine the proper amount of postage to apply.
Postal scales are used by the post office, but also by other parcel services such as FedEx and by businesses that simply want to apply their own postage. Scales can be small in size all the way to large and can weigh items from 1 gram to 10,000 pounds. It’s hard to imagine anything that can be sent via mail or parcel service that cannot be weighed.
