(Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in 'Off Topic' so I hope it's in the right place!)
I'm looking to buy a relatively inexpensive postal scale that can weigh items up to 35lbs. I know a lot of people on the arena own postal scales to ship things so I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place or website to buy them? :)
Thanks in advance!

The postal scale I use is from USPS.com and is rated for up to 10lbs. I think it is sold for about $30 or $40. There are some cheaper scales out there but from what I found they were rated up to only 5 lbs.
We also have a baby scale that is rated up to 44 lbs. I think I paid about $70 for it. Amazon.com has a lot of different scales.
Edited to add: The baby scale is digital and also does kgs.

Up to 35lb is a lot for a digital scale so like the poster said above me they can run for quite a bit.
Do you really need something that weighs 35lbs? If you ship something that heavy weekly, it's worth it. But if it's once a month you can use your bathroom scale for that. That's what I used for the longest time. Now I have a better scale that can weigh more.
Then you can get a digital scale for cheaper.
Check Ebay. Maybe you can find a used one for cheap.

If you look on ebay under:
WEIGHMAX 35 LB # DIGITAL POSTAL SHIPPING SCALE W/AC there is one listed for $13.99 plus shipping.
I also highly recommend this seller as I have dealt with her for years. And I actually bought my scale from her about 5 years ago. Her ID is corijennin if you also want to check out the other scales she has in her store.

I got my digital scale pretty cheap from a local supermarket TBH. Its a kitchen scale , but it works fine , and its accurate :awake: If they dont sell them cheap locally to you and you need to order one off the internet, then I would try the seller Ponylady suggested since her prices sound good to me :)

This is the scale I have, I like it a lot :) I still haven't figured out how to switch it from grams to ounces though :P
