Shipping scale review

My Weigh Ultraship U2 (60 lb)

The Ultraship U2 covers the widest range of home-shipping needs in our catalog: 60 lb capacity, fine 0.1 oz increments in its lower range, and a display you can pull out on a 2 ft cord when a box covers the platform. What it lacks is a published tolerance.

60 lb model with detachable display.

Analysis

Platform vs box size (approximate)

A 12 × 12 in box on a 6.7 × 7.1 in platform overhangs by roughly 2.5 in on each side. That's normally fine for weighing if the box sits centered and doesn't touch the desk, but it would cover a fixed display—which is why the detachable display matters here. Assumption: centered box, rigid base.

Compatibility notes and common mistakes

My Weigh lists Windows 10 software on the product page; check whether your shipping software reads the scale before relying on it.

  • Letting an oversized box rest on the desk edge while weighing.
  • Assuming the 0.1 oz increment applies across the full 60 lb range (it switches to 0.2 oz).
