Postal scales

Postal

— scales for weighing letters, parcels, envelopes, and small shipments before dispatch. They help to determine the cargo weight in advance and more accurately calculate the delivery cost based on the postal service or carrier's rates. Unlike commercial scales, postal models are typically not designed for selling goods by weight and usually do not have cost calculation, price memory, or a display stand. Their main task is to quickly and conveniently determine the weight of a packaged shipment, such as an online order box, a document in an envelope, or a small parcel for a delivery service.
