Anyone know where to get a really cheap (or free!) but reliable scale for postal use? I always end up overestimating weight before I take packages to the post office and end up paying more than I have to. I like printing the postage at home since I can get delivery confirmation on things the post office won't do (why they won't I have no idea).
Thanks!

you can use the http://www.stamps.com trial offer and get a free scale.The next avaiable option is buy them off ebay.Ebay is great place to buy certain stuff that are very low in demand and get a great bargain such as a scale

I got one of those up-to-75lbs scales though, cuz I was moving and needed to ship large packages. However, it's been great for all my shipping needs ever since.

i got one from radioshack. plug it into your pc thru usb, set the package on it (only works up to 10lbs~) and it auto connect to whatever website. I paid around $30 for it bout 2 yrs ago(?)

Are you really just trying to start a drug operation?
