For anyone who ships regularly or needs a dependable postal scale for home or business, this desertcart Basics model is a fantastic value. Review: Great value. easy to read display - This is a great scale. I tested it with some known weights, and it's accurate enough for shipping packages for sure. The weight reading is stable, and the weight doesn't wander around. There's a couple of different modes. pounds, pounds and ounces, and kg. I have the 200kg model. that's weigh more than I need. Pun intended. I bought the 200kg one for the size, which is better for larger packages, even if they don't weight a lot. There's some rubber or silicone feet on the bottom, and they appear to work well. The unit is physically stable and does not have a tendency to tip. You can either drop a couple of AAA batteries (not included) in there, or use the male to male USB cord and a standard phone charger (included). The display is big and bright, which is plus for me. Yes, this is a few bucks more than the smaller one. It's also a way better scale for those few dollars. Having this one now, I don't know why I hung on to the older smaller one that I just replaced. Save yourself the 'upgrade later' penalty - just buy this one now. *Also, why aren't bathroom scales this good? ## Features - Digital shipping postal scale for weighing items; heavy duty yet lightweight, portable design - Includes a postal scale and an AC adapter; durable black ABS with an aluminum anti-skid platform - 440 pound (200kg) capacity reads to 0.11 pound/50g/2 ounce in 0.1 ounce increments; minimum load weight is 6 ounces (150g) - Measuring units in g, kg, ounces, and pounds - Additional separated large back-lit LCD display allows for reading the weighing data from a distance of up to 2m - Tare function for resetting the scale to zero after setting a container on the platform; great for net weights - Powered by 2 x AAA batteries, USB cable, or AC adapter; 5 minute auto shutoff when battery powered; stays on when plugged in; note: data cannot be transferred through USB cable - Product dimensions: 11.81 x 11.81 x 1.38 inches (LxWxH) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B085214W32 | | Best Sellers Rank | #752 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #2 in Postal Scales | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Brand Name | Amazon Basics | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 515 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Form Factor | platform | | Item Weight | 4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Material Type | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Aluminum | | Measurement Type | pounds, ounces, grams, kilograms | | Model | 8842005US | | Part Number | 8842005US | | Readout Accuracy | 0.1 Ounces | | Recommended Uses For Product | Packages | | Special Feature | Backlit Display | | Special Features | Backlit Display | | UPC | 840095842761 840095879163 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Weigh Scale Type | Counter Scale | | Weight Capacity Maximum | 440 Pounds | | Weight Limit | 440 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Color:** Black - **Display Type:** LCD - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Packages - **Special Feature:** Backlit Display ## Images ![Amazon Basics Digital Postal Scale with Tare Function, Heavy Duty, Aluminium Platform, 440 lb Capacity, Digital Shipping, Portable, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fIbGYrNwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate, sturdy, and perfect for heavy-duty shipping needs *by K***0 on February 16, 2026* This scale has been an excellent addition to my shipping setup.

It won't measure below an ounce but it's very consistent and measures up to 440lbs. The only reason I took a star off is because if the package is light under 1.5 ounces it won't even detect it. Otherwise it's a great scale for heavier packages can even measure humans if you stand on it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/460174942-amazon-basics-digital-postal-scale-with-tare-function-heavy-duty](https://www.desertcart.in/products/460174942-amazon-basics-digital-postal-scale-with-tare-function-heavy-duty) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
