Hey all, we are adding a third machine into our warehouse for the soul purpose of shipping packages. Currently we are using Stone Edge with Dazzle to ship packages. Now that the decision was make to add a 3rd workstation, I am in need of a scale that will work with Dazzle and Stone Edge. the other 2 WS are a Hodge Podge of scales that are very old. can someone please giver e some recommendations on what they use for scales. I would need a scale that goes up to 100 pounds. but if at all possible to add one that would vive me ounces for our lighter packages.

Any advice would be helpful

Thanks in Advance

We've had good luck with Fairbanks scales. I think the one we use is the Ultegra.  https://www.fairbanks.com/products/?pid=29824C

Chris,
do you know if there is a minimum weight for these scales? We ship all kinds of weights from about a half a pound up to 75 pounds. I have been looking at scales and some only go down so far, like the Dymo scale only does between 2 and 100 pounds

My experience with Fairbanks and Toledo scales is that when they say accuracy is .05 lbs that that’s also how far they down they go.

I'll second what others have said here.... In my opinion the Fairbanks Ultegra and Metler Toledo 150LB bench-top scales are the gold standard for this application.  Accurate, durable, preferred by UPS and USPS.  And for a few hundred bucks the Fairbanks Ultegra's are very affordable. My pick would be the Fairbanks.
