## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I bought all 5 remaining could you make it actual shipping cost to WI?**
A: If this question was directed towards me, please use the contact seller link found by clicking on the seller https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact/contact.html?ie=UTF8&asin=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&ref_=aag_m_fi&sellerID=A3FNYHCL6MRXCI

**Q: How do I change the battery?  There is a plastic section holding the battery inside and no instructions on how to open it.  I don't want to break it.**
A: I just had the same problem. Opening the door is easy but then you see the battery under a piece of plastic with + and -.  After reading suggetions and searching online, I finally just took a small screw driver and pried up the bottom of the old battery, it was easy to pop out then.  (I put the jeweler's screw driver between the bottom of the battery and the bottom of the battery case and applied gentle pressure.) Once it was out, I put a new one in.

**Q: What is the resolution of this scale?**
A: I can't remember for positively sure, but I believe it weighs to the 1/10 oz. (1 place after the decimal).  I don't usually measure ounces -- I use grams, which are much easier to work with, and grams are whole numbers -- no decimals.  I have tested it with calibration weights for the lesser amounts, but have nothing in the pound-range to test it with.  But it does pretty much agree with supermarket purchases for produce and meat sold by the pound.

**Q: How to recalibrate? We bought a pelouze sp5 from a garage sale, it says OUT2, every place says recalibrate, but we lack the manual.**
A: The online manual does not state how to recalibrate. Have you tried simple fixes like taking out the batteries and reinserting them?

    Easy, reliable, stylish - great value
  

*by P***2 on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2005*

Unlike the earlier reviewer, I've had a great experience with this postal scale and have given it as a gift to friends as well. -- No problems.When you first turn it on, it's supposed to show "Cal" (i.e., calibrating) for about three seconds -- this allows you to use what's called the "tare" feature which is very handy. I was clueless as to what "tare" means until I looked it up. It means that you can set a small empty container on the scale and then turn it on. When the scale comes on, it will take into account the weight of the container in all future measurements during that session -- until you turn it off and back on. For example, let's say you wanted to weigh some marbles, but they would just roll off the stand, or some flour, but you don't want to just pile it on the stand. So you can put a cup (say any measuring cup from your kitchen) on the stand and then turn on the machine. In a few seconds it will calibrate to zero. Then you can add the marbles or the flour to the cup and it will way just the marbles or flour, not the cup. Hope this makes sense. Actually, I believe this feature is available in most electronic scales so it's nothing special here. Also, if you don't use this feature, you can just ignore it -- you won't even know it's there. It sounds like the previous reviewer's machine got stuck in the "Cal" cycle. Normally, Cal should only show for a few seconds when you turn it on. It's a bad sign that the reviewer had the exact same problem for two different scales. I can only report that I never had this problem in a couple years of frequent use. Nor have several friends who I gave this to as presents had that problem.Here's why I like this scale:- Best price in the "electronic" category (at least it was the best price when I purchased mine a couple years ago -- don't know if that's changed)- Stylish - normally I don't consider this for something that's basically on office tool, but it sits out on my desk at home so it's nice that it looks good.- Super easy to use. You just press the On button and then set whatever you're weighing on the stand.- Big, easy-to-read LCD.This scale doesn't have the feature where you can enter in the current postal rates and the zip code to where you're sending and have the readout give you the amount of postage. But I'm still giving it a 5 out of 5 because this feature is normally only found in much more expensive scales. So I still think this scale is "best-in-class". Besides, that feature can get really complicated to figure out and maintain. It's more appropriate for a scale that's used in a working mail room. For my scale, I printed out a little chart of how many ounces equals how much postage and taped it to the bottom. Then after I weigh something, I just pick up the scale, glance at the bottom, and I know how much postage to put on the letter or package. In retrospect it might be nice if Pelouze provided a clear sleeve on the bottom where you could slide in a chart -- and provided a template for the chart as well -- something like that integrated into the product might be nice. But, hey, this little scale is really cool and works great so I can forgive a minor design deficiency which is easily overcome by a piece of paper and some scotch tape.Note that my scale says "Sunbeam" on the front, not "Pelouze". I'm not sure if it's made by a company called Pelouze and then branded by Sunbeam or what, but if you see the same looking scale with Sunbeam on it, this is it.BTW, this works great as a kitchen scale as well. Even though it's in my office, I sometimes bring it in to use in the kitchen when I'm baking.

    Bought it for shipping, use it for cooking!
  

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2010*

I bought this scale to weigh packages, but stopped using it after a few months when I got access to a new postage machine. The poor little scale got put into storage and then forgotten about. Until a few months ago when I became frustrated with estimating ingredients given by weight instead of measurement. I pulled out this scale and turned it on with a measuring cup on top so that the weight of the cup wouldn't be counted (tare feature). Then I added ingredients until I hit the right weight. So handy! It can measure in ounces or grams, which makes it perfect for cooking. It is very simple and easy to use. I haven't used it a whole lot, but I bought it back on 2006 and it still works perfectly.I paid less then the current list price, so I am not sure if it is still as good a deal, but I love the size, simplicity, and easy of use, so I still recommend it.

    Works well
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2012*

This is an inexpensive scale we use for doing density checks on small amounts of product. Scale is lightweight and portable and we use it in a dusty environment. They seem to hold up well as we have used them in the past. This model in particular is becoming harder to find. Good product in my experience
