Fairbanks Scales 29824 Ultegra Shipping Scale for Packages, 150 lbs, 14"x14", NTEP, UPS WorldShip, Digital Industrial & Commercial Grade Postal Weighing Platform, Heavy Duty ABS, Oz & Kg

Works great for an office

These scales are great, a simple usb plugin with a longer cable and your ready to go, works with UPS worldship software, durable and actually does weigh up to 300 lbs maybe more. I have never had to replace one of these units 10+ years on some of them thus far.

good quality, works good

We recently picked up one of these to test it - and with plans to permanently integrate with our custom shipping software using C#. The scale itself works perfectly: 1) It reads / stabilizes very quickly 2) The weight readings are accurate and repeatable (for both light and heavy packages) 3) Integrating with the scale so we can read weights via USB only took a few minutes and about 150 lines of C# code. 4) The weight limit is high enough to be used even in our main shipping station 5) I LOVE that it's powered through USB - so we only have to deal with a single cable Although it's working great, we do have a couple of minor complaints: 1) I really wish the weight could be displayed in pounds + ounces instead of pounds + fraction of pounds. This isn't a problem when we're reading it via software; but, it adds some complication for our shipping people when they're just trying to get a weight. 2) It's too bad they don't make a smaller version of this scale. The Integra Jr seems like it would fit that bill - but we purchased 2 of them and they aren't in the same class as the full sized version for multiple reasons (No power through USB, much slower readings, power and USB cables are permanently attached to the scale, etc.). Overall, this is the best shipping scale we've used and I highly recommend it. We're shipping several hundred boxes per week and this scale makes the whole process flow more smoothly.

Easy to use and reliable.

i picked this scale up for our business to use in conjunction with shipstation for processing our outgoing mail. this scaled appears to be really well built and will probably provide users a long service life. the bad news is that the listing failed to mention that this is a PC only usb hid that is SPECIFICALLY made for nrg worldship. there is no compatibility with shipstation whatsoever even though shipstation lists the ultegra series as a "recommended USB scale". i'm more upset with shipstation over this (duh) than fairbanks, BUT it would have been nice if they just put PC ONLY somewhere or some sort of disclaimer about what programs it works.

Accurate down to 100th of a LB, and can switch to metric.

Scale has worked fine for a few thousand packages now. To get the weight to show correctly in shipstation I do need the scale set to kg and shipstation reading in pounds. Seems odd but we don't need to read the scale separately anyway so I guess it's all good.
