Does this scale come with a calibration weight?

Mine did. http://myweigh.com/view-all/ agrees that it still does. Great scale - someone liked it so much that it disappeared when I was moving.

To be honest I never bother calibrating mine, and things have turned out okay. I did realize that was kind of dumb so compared the known weight of an object (weighed on another, calibrated one) to the weight shown on my scale and it was close enough for my purposes (like off by 0.1 or 0.01 (can't remember if there's two points after the decimal or not)). Though you can always calibrate w a nickel or other coin w a known weight of course.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

Yes it does, and once calibrated it is quite accurate. I would advise getting a calibration weight if you don't have one.

I've never tried it, but have you checked with the USPS to see if they have any calibration weights on site? I'm sure their scales, like all scales, have to be calibrated regularly. You could take it to them and see what they say. I live in a rural area and the local branch is never very busy, so I'm sure they would help me. A busier location may not be as helpful.

I do not believe this unit required calibration. I checked it against some 1 to 4 oz letters I had and it registered correctly. I have used this for up to 13 oz, including flats, and have sent a lot of mail using it. So far, no issues. Good unit for the price.

I did not have to calibrate it but I can only speak for myself. I use it to ship out first class items or 1-3 pound items. When I get a reading of 4.5 ounces, I send out package at 5 ounces. I've never had an item weigh too much. Hope that helps.

If I understand your question, my answer is yes. The scale will weight to the one tenth of a pound. However, it will not weigh something that is only one then of a pound, if that is what you are asking.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

If you look at the face of the scale it says it weighs to 100g (grams). It is strange that it would calibrate at the far end of its range though rather than somewhere near the middle.

Yes but I don't recomend this scale. You have to adjust it back and corth EVERY TIME!!

YES! The company sells this scale with an adapter and adapters are available if you bought one without the adapter.

You can order calibration weight at AMAZON.com. They have various sizes of weight to choose from.

Yes, indeed it does. There is a switch on the back that changes the unit of measure from lbs to kgs. (and, I must say, I totally recommend this scale!)

The short answer is "yes." You simply put the measuring container (plate, cup, jar, whatever) on the scale and press the On/Off button. It immediately zeros the scale. You can then add the item to be weighed to the measuring container and the readout will display the weight of that item without having to subtract the weight of the container. Easy peasy! Apparently not everyone is aware of the tare function of this device -- hence some of the confusing answers.

It appears that calibration is not required on all of the scales. However, even trying to calibrate the scale still didn't work for me. I did like the fact that it had a bowl on top and the proposed functionality but I wasn't able to get that far.

Its always best to calibrate to a known weight. I did not have any known weights, so I calibrated it to zero (ie no weight). For my purposes, this was sufficient.
