Do you guys print labels at home for shipping items? I would like to do this but I don't have a scale to measure the weight of a package...any recommendations on where to buy a cheap but accurate scale?

Good to know. I have recently started a new system where I catalog the receipts in a folder organized by ship dates.

Shipping scales can be found on ebay for less than $20 for one that will weigh up to around 75 - 90 lbs $30 - $40 that will do in the the upper hundreds.
Forgot to mention get one where the screen is away from the scale by a cord. I know that migh sound silly but if your doing bigger boxes you will never see the numbers on scale that will be under the box.

Thank you Bob.jimmyjamesf said:
I am planning on really thinning out the ol' collection so this will save me a lot of trips.
Plus those UPS store employees are just plain rude most of the time!
Ahhhhh so many different ones on ebay. Anyone have a good experience with one brand in particular?

i bought a scale off ebay for about 25.00. i know what you mean about the bigger boxes being hard to weigh. i have a hold button on my scale so if the box is big i can reach under and press the button. that way when i remove the giant box i can see the weight.

This is what we started with
one of our first scales we bought for shipping was like this one and it is still running so it was well worth the the extra money. The scale is a good size about a foot by a foot so it holds a bigger package better. Smaller scales you have to do the whole balance thing with a big box sometimes and that just not cool.

Dude, I have that EXACT same one and I love it! It's very accurate, has a brightly lit LCD display, holds the weight if the box is too big and obstructs the view of the display. You can't go wrong with it, I highly recommend it.El Roranous said:

One last question, and this may seem like a dumb one but how do you add insurance to a UPS shipment when you do it online. Is there a box to click or what?
