A postal scale earns its keep the first time it stops you guessing a parcel weight and paying for the wrong satchel, or worse, having a parcel returned because it was underpaid. These are genuine DYMO digital scales in three capacities, and the only real decision is the heaviest parcel you send. Buy for that weight, not for the average one.
- DYMO M2 - weighs up to 2kg, battery powered, suited to letters, documents, satchels and small online orders
- DYMO M5 - weighs up to 5kg with a USB link to the computer, the middle option for mixed parcel sizes
- DYMO M10 - weighs up to 10kg with a USB link, for heavier or bulkier despatch
Work from your heaviest regular parcel and leave yourself some margin. If most of what you send is documents and small satchels, the M2 covers it. If you post clothing, books or boxed goods, the M5 is the safer pick. If you ship tools, spare parts or multi item orders, go to the M10 so you are not repacking a parcel just to get a reading. A scale that tops out below your parcels gets used once and then gets ignored, so size up rather than down if you are between two capacities. The USB link on the M5 and M10 is worth having on a bench that prints postage from software, because the weight goes into the consignment without being read off a display and typed, which is where the mistakes happen.
Online sellers, home offices, mail rooms, clubs and small warehouses across Australia use these next to a label printer, weighing and labelling in one pass, and DymoOnline has stocked nothing but genuine DYMO since 2009. A scale that sits within reach of the printer gets used on every parcel, which is where it pays for itself. Pair one with a LabelWriter printer and a roll of shipping labels, look at the 5XL range if you print wide courier labels, and see warehouse and shipping for the whole despatch bench.
