What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are contradictory or inconsistent: the title claims 1-ounce readability, while feature text says 0.11 pounds and the metric details list 28 g. The stated 660-pound capacity also differs from the metric maximum of 299.37 kg. Form factor is listed as handheld despite dimensions of 30 x 30 cm and descriptions of a counter or floor scale. Confirm the relevant capacity, increment and configuration for the selected listing.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Home and office shippers who weigh parcels and want tare plus several weight-unit options.
- Buyers handling larger packages who need a scale with a high stated capacity and a broad platform.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a confirmed, consistent measurement increment for postage-critical weighing without first resolving the conflicting listing figures.
- Buyers seeking USB data transfer, which the listing says the USB cable does not provide.
