    Default For those that have postal scales..

    can you tell me what type you have? I want to purchase one, but there are so many to choose from.

    I have this one. It works fine, except it only goes up to 5 pounds.

    I have one made by Royal-- I got it a year or a little longer ago at WalMart for about $20. The only drawback is that it only goes up to 16 ounces, but, usually it's enough for the small weekly ChemoAngel packages I send out.

    Sara, I have the ASC 15 postal scale and it's been excellent so far. It weighs up to 30 kgs (almost 70lbs) and goes up in increments of 5 grams. It's very accurate. I bought mine on ebay.
