My husband is employed as a Warehouse Manager and the head of Shipping and Receiving for his company, he's done this for well over seven years. He not only does all kinds of shipping within the United States but International Shipping as well. Through listening to the tales he's told, I've learned how important having the right Shipping Scales can be.
When I was employed as an Administrative Assistant, the only time I used scales at all was to make sure I put enough postage on larger envelopes of information I sent out and to once in a great while use larger Shipping Scales to send a small package. Accuracy was not that important for me since I'd err on the side of caution and put more postage on if it was close.
For my husband, more than one type of shipping scale is required, since he sends out items ranging from a very small part to items that weigh hundreds of pounds and need to be shipped on pallets through truck lines. I've learned how something that may seem "picky" to you and I such as an item not being weighed properly can cause problems with international shipping orders where so much more paperwork and accuracy is critical to making sure an item sent is received on time.
