What is the best scale for weighing your Shopify store packages?

Asked 4 years ago

I am new on Shopify and I am currently packaging everything myself.

I am looking for a scale that I can use to weigh my packages for my Shopify store. Any recommendations?

I would suggest that you just search for "shipping scales" on Amazon. You will definitely find something that you can use.

You can use any shipping scale, as long as it is big enough for your boxes to fit on it.

You don’t need to use weight unless your shipping yourself.Other than that use Flat rates or Rates based on pricing of the product.

My shipping scale does not plug into my computer. I had some issues with those in the past. You will just manually enter the weight, its easy. For shipping labels I use a Rollo printer as it works with all operating systems

Accurate weight measurements of your Shopify store packages are important so that you do not get overcharged for shipping. One of the best scales for eCommerce shipping is a USB (universal serial bus) digital shipping scale. These are calibrated specifically for package shipping so you can be sure the readings are accurate.

These can be found by doing an internet search and range in price depending on the maximum weight of your products. This means that if you sell smaller items you can find kitchen scales for as little as £5, however, if you are weighing heavier boxes you may need to find heavy duty scales that can be more in the range of £35.

Be aware that the scales you use do depend on what you are selling. For example, in some countries if you sell products that have a price dependant on the weight, then you will need to look for trade approved scales. This is because there may be laws in place to make sure that customers get what they pay for. You'll be able to check if this applies to you with just a quick Google.
