I need a cheap shipping scale that can go to 30lbs?

[aphex]

Do they exist?

My package scale only goes up to 5lbs and weighing myself with and without the package has proved quite inaccurate these past few times on my digital scale.

Looks like a good deal until the $15 shipping.

:music:

Clean this mess up else well all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get them all out of here
Is there gas in the car
Yes, theres gas in the car
I think the people down the hall
Know who you are

I picked up a cheapie off eBay and it seems to work well enough. The ones that accept 9V are handy because when you're not using it you can just stow the thing away (I stick mine under the bed).

This is what I bought but the one you linked to looked fine as well, I'm sure quality and accuracy of the scales in this price range are pretty similar.

the reviews at amazon of the one i linked earlier are scary.... hmmm i dunno

even google flags their website as potentially harmful

rebate is only good if you sign up for some postage crap.

Thanks for the link.
I got one of the cheap things off of eBay awhile ago. It developed a minor problem - it reads nearly double the weight of anything I put on it! :Q
5lb bag of sugar measures as about 10lb 6oz. Two 5lb bags are pushing 23lbs. Horray for quality.

I don't have the scale in front of me, but if memory serves, it's made in the USA.
