DYMO S100 Digital USB Postal Scale

Good scale but does not register any weight under one pound. Item must be over one pound to activate the scale and then you will see a weight on the display. Had I known that I would not have bought it. This minimum weight is NOT listed in the description of the product.

After setting up this scale I realized it will not display weights less than 1lb. This information is shown in the user manual, but not listed anywhere online. We ship a handful of items each day that are under a pound, so we cannot use this scale. Other than that it seems to be really nice and easily interfacing with our shipping software

Haven't figured out how to get Windows to recognize scale. Have plugged USB cable in several ports and can't get it to show up in my shipping program.

We replaced our old scale provided by UPS with Dymo, works like a charm. Data to PC via serial port is a bit odd as USB is already there. Many gave poor rating because the scale has a wrong name, it is not "postal" scale, it is a parcel scale, or package scale. The scale for measuring sub-1lb scales are those like you use in the kitchen for measuring food ingredients and I do prefer those for measuring letters cause kitchen scales are more accurate. Now if Dymo can create one with 4 laser sensors on the corners to sense the dimensional weight that will be a killer in the logistic industry.

who sells a POSTAL scale that doesn't measure oz but instead 10ths of a lb! Every online service that I ship with and even those I don't ship with want to know weight of item being shipped in pounds and ounces. This scale (my fault for not reading the fine print) only indicates weight as such 1.8lb instead of 1lb 12oz. Now I have to spend my $ to ship this item back to the seller and look for something else that displays oz without having to convert manually. Disappointed!
