What is the Best Shipping Scale for Small or Large Size Business?

In today's video we take a look at shipping scales for small businesses. This is a video that you don't want to miss.

What is the best shipping scale for a small business? Well, if you're basing it entirely on the price, the answer is probably some plastic scale that you've seen on the office supply store shelf.

But if you're looking at such as durability, legal for trade quality and the ability to connect the scale to your shipping software, then the chances are you might choose a different scale.

Based on our many years of using and selling this scale, in our opinion, the Mettler Toledo BC60 is the best shipping scale for small business usage. The scale has become one of the standard accessories that you see in shipping departments all over the country.

So why do folks like the BC60 so much? Well, it is constructed by a reputable company with a good reputation in the scale industry. The scale is well built with a stainless steel platter. The 150 pound weighing capacity covers just about anything that you're going to ship via UPS or Fedex. The scale is NTEP approved and the scale connects to many popular shipping programs which allows the scale weight to populate right into the software. This helps you because you don't have to type the weight and you don't have to type the weight and make a mistake by typing the wrong number in.

To be fair what are some of the downsides of the BC60? Well, you have to mention the price right off the bat. At the time of this video, the scale price is typically somewhere around $600 and increasing. That's well above the cost of the cheap plastic scale that you'll probably find at your office supply store. The BC60 weight display is pretty simple and can be difficult to read. The scale is manufactured overseas and not in America, the 150 pound capacity should be fine, but the weighing platform dimensions are only 12x14. So trying to weigh larger boxes can be a little tricky and finally the scale doesn't weigh units in ounces.

So there you have it. I hope you've enjoyed this video. There are other shipping scales available that are good as well and maybe we'll discuss those in a future video. But in our opinion, the BC60 is just an overall solid choice, not just for small businesses, but any size business.
