Going The Distance

Economies Of Scale

Besides the added benefit of moving out of the Dark Ages and into the high-tech '90s, trading your mechanical scale for an electronic model can also save you money. Electronic scales, such as the B530 Electronic Scale from Pitney Bowes, help eliminate costly weighing errors that result in overposting. This 3-pound-capacity scale contains a wide selection of postal rates and fees so you can find the most cost-effective routing for standard mail, large envelopes and small parcels. Soft-touch keys and an easy-to-read display make it user-friendly. Cost to lease: $21 per month. -H.P.
