With the advent of PC based online postage programs,PC Postage Scales - Comfort, Convenience And The Ultimate Timesaver Articles it is now possible for many people to print out their own postage from the comfort and convenience of their home computer and printer. In this way they can save a lot of time, trouble, and money. One advantage of this kind of online postage is that you normally determine the exact amount of postage required for a letter or package by weighing the item on an electronic scale. Here is some useful information on these scales.

A PC postage scale is usually an electronic scale which can determine the weight of a letter or package. They are produced by many different companies and can be purchased from many different retailers. The cost of this type of scale can range from $20 up to $100 or more depending on features, etc.

Many of the lower priced pc postage scales are limited in how much weight they can handle. In general this is 20 – 30 pounds which handles a wide variety of package types. If you feel that you will be shipping larger packages, then a larger scale which can handle more weight will be required.

Such a scale is larger and has more room to accommodate a larger package. The program with smaller scales is that the area where you would place a package may be approximately 8"x8" in size. This is perfect for letters or small packages.

However it will not accommodate larger packages so before you choose a pc postage scale, keep this type of thing in mind. You can find these kinds of scales from many retailers. The post office sells them as do most of the office supply stores like Office Depot, etc.

And you can find many online stores which sell these scales. So first of all, decide how large a package you would normally ship and determine its dimensions. For example if a package you might ship often is sized at 8"x12"x3" then make certain that the area on the scale which you would place the item can easily accommodate this.

In addition make certain that the scale has a weight capacity sufficient for the size of the largest package you plan to ship. For example, don’t get a scale with a maximum weight capacity of 50 lbs if you plan to ship a 100 lb package. You will overload the scale and not only get an incorrect reading but could damage it as well.
