Review on πŸ“¦ Fairbanks Scales 29824 Ultegra Parcel Shipping Scale: Accurate, Compact, and High Capacity by Darren Cole

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Integrates seamlessly with custom deployment

We recently picked one up for testing - and plan on continued integration with our custom C# deployment software. The scale itself works great: 1) It reads/stabilizes very quickly 2) The weight readings are accurate and repeatable (for both light and heavy packs) 3) The integration with the scale so we can read the weight via USB, took only a few minutes and about 150 lines of C# code. 4) The weight limit is large enough to be used even at our main delivery station. 5) I LOVE that it's USB powered - so we only have to deal with one cable. While it works great, we have a few minor complaints: 1) I really wish weight was displayed in pounds + ounces instead of pounds + fractional pounds. our carriers if they just try 2) Too bad they don't make a smaller version of these scales. The Integra Jr seems to meet those needs but we bought 2 of these and they aren't in the same class as the full version for a number of reasons (no USB power, much slower readings, power and USB cords all the time)) . attached to the weight, etc.). Overall, this is the best shipping scale we've used and I highly recommend it. We ship several hundred boxes a week and this scale makes the whole process much smoother.

Pros
  • 2.4" low profile scale
Cons
  • Questionable senior purchase
