Questions & Answers

Lorraine B : Is this a used scale? Does it actually work?COLIN B : The one I received from Adorama is a new one and it works fine. I also have a used one I bought locally from a friend who got an upgrade to a larger system for his office and that one also is still working. I use both in a home office setting hooked to 2 different computers. They both work fine. Just one thing to remember: When you initially hook it up, it takes awhile to activate and you may think it's DOA. This fooled me on the original new one. Then I read the manual and it does caution you that it may happen. Just wait a couple minutes and you're good to go.ALLAN Y : The scale I received appears to be new, and it works well.
Shopper : Will this work without a pc? Will it readout in even grams only or does it have 1g resolution?PAUL Y : it is typically powered by a USB portwhich means that it would be plugged into a PC, laptop, or USB hub. However it does have a port for a 9 V battery port which allows it to run without computer power. Yes, it does measure in 1 g increments. Regards, PaulROSEANN S : We only use it with a PC, to print postage. It will weigh without a PC but will not produce postage. We only use it in ounces mode because we use it for postage, which is calculated in ounces, so I don't know if it measures in even grams.BRYAN H : NO PC necessary. Works in lbs and Kg (measures in grams). An excellent product.Mitchell G : Yes, it can work without a PC, for measuring, and will measure from 1g to 2.2kg. To print postage, it needs to be connected to a PC with a label printer.
Shopper : Received mine and no software included either. Also the cord was taped with masking tape which makes me to believe that these are refurbished units. Most companies will use twist ties or plastic wire ties. I have never received a Brand new item that had masking tape on the cord. Anybody else come across this?DANIELLE C : The directions say if you plug it into your computer, it will work--that is how it worked for me, no software needed. Mine had tape around the cord too, i've seen that with some packaging, it seems new to me. Mine has worked fine so far...hope this helps!BRYAN H : My packaging was a bit under par as well, however, the unit works great and I'm not at all concerned.J T : Mine came with no software either, and the cords where also taped with masking tape. I didn't think about that until I read your message, but now I am wondering if my product was refurbished. Scale works, but with no software, I can't use the scale like it should be used. Not happy that Adorama won't send out the software that was stated in their ad. Will not shop with them again since they don't stand behind what they sell.ABHISHEK C : Mine came with Software disc and properly packaged. Nice product and very good price.

Used or refurbished-NOT NEW

The product works fine. I am very disappointed to discover the the item was used and/or refurbished and was not advertised as such.

Good Product

This scale works out of the box just like it should, tied right in with my Dymo Labelwriter. This saves my trips to the post office to stand in line.

Excellent Scale!

I do a lot of jewelry mailing so it's very handy for getting accurate mailing costs. It is also great in the kitchen for weighing precise measures.

Say what?

WHY would anyone buy a DYMO scale that is meant to be used with a DYMO printer if you don't have a DYMO printer? The purpose of this scale is to weigh a letter and then have your DYMO printer print out the appropriate postage stamp!

Works Great!

I use this with the Endicia Dazzle postage software. It was plug and play- set up couldn't have been easier. This scale has a small, compact footprint on my desktop- like that. I just click the "weigh" button in the dazzle software and voila! The scale automatically tells the computer the weight of the package/envelope.

With the Dymo USB Digital Postal Scale (5 lb) you just put your mailing item on the scale, wait a few seconds and press the weight button. The correct mailing weight is displayed on the unit's easy-to-read LCD. With Dymo Stamps software (NOT included) installed on your computer, the precise cost of postage is calculated and is ready to print from compatible Dymo LabelWriter printers. The scale has a capacity of 5 lb and it can weigh in ounces and grams. Its auto-off function shuts down the power after two minutes of inactivity (when battery operated). The scale operates on USB (2.0) or a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) and is PC and Mac compatible.
