This Dymo Pelouze digital USB shipping scale is built for fast, accurate weight measurements that streamline your packing and shipping workflow. Marketed as the S400 model, this scale is a reliable 400 lb capacity postal and shipping scale designed to handle everything from small packages to bulk shipments with ease. With USB connectivity, it integrates seamlessly with your computer, shipping software, and label printers, helping you cut manual data entry, reduce errors, and speed up your fulfillment process. Whether you run a small online shop, a home-based storefront, or a busy warehouse, this digital shipping scale delivers consistent performance, simplicity, and value. The compact footprint, user-friendly controls, and durable construction make it a practical choice for pack stations, mailrooms, or retail back rooms that demand dependable weighing accuracy for every parcel.
- High-capacity accuracy for bulk and individual shipments: The S400 variant offers a generous 400 lb capacity, making it ideal for handling a wide range of items—from lightweight envelopes to heavy boxes. This scale reduces the need to split larger shipments into multiple weighings, helping you expedite orders and optimize postage or freight costs. Its digital readout supplies clear, stable results, so you can trust the weight shown for labeling, carrier pricing, and inventory records. With this level of capacity, you’ll experience fewer bottlenecks at the packing station and fewer re-weighs due to overflow or underestimations—key for improving throughput in busy operations while maintaining accuracy across all parcel sizes.
- USB connectivity for effortless data transfer: One of the standout features of the Dymo Pelouze digital USB shipping scale is its plug-and-play USB interface. Connect directly to a computer or compatible shipping workstation to transfer measurements in real time to your shipping software, order management system, or spreadsheets. This seamless data flow minimizes keystrokes, reduces transcription errors, and accelerates the labeling process. Whether you’re using a standalone scale or integrating with a full e-commerce fulfillment workflow, USB connectivity ensures your weight data moves smoothly into your labels, invoices, and carrier portals.
- Clear digital display and easy operation: The scale provides a crisp, easy-to-read digital display that shows weight readings clearly at a glance. The user-friendly controls allow quick unit selection (such as pounds or kilograms) and straightforward operation, so even new staff can weigh items accurately with minimal training. The digital readout is designed for fast updates, so you don’t have to wait for readings to stabilize during busy packing sessions. This immediacy helps ensure correct postage every time, reducing the risk of underpayment or overpayment on shipments and contributing to lower overall shipping costs.
- Tare, zeroing, and net-weight measurements for precise packaging: The scale supports tare or zeroing to subtract the weight of containers, trays, or packaging materials, letting you measure net weight quickly and precisely. This feature is crucial when your workflow requires weighing items in baskets, poly bags, or on top of small platforms without skewing the final weight. By measuring true product weight minus packaging, you can optimize package sizes, improve carrier rate accuracy, and maintain consistent billing across orders. Net-weight measurements are particularly valuable for businesses that ship a mix of light and heavy items, ensuring consistent handling of every parcel.
- Compact, sturdy design suited for various workspaces: With a compact footprint, the Dymo Pelouze digital USB shipping scale fits neatly on desktops, workstations, or packing benches without taking up valuable space. Its sturdy construction is designed to withstand daily use in busy environments, from home offices to commercial fulfillment centers. The scale’s stability helps prevent tipping or shifting during weighing, which contributes to measurement reliability and reduces the likelihood of misreads. Because of its portability and robust build, this scale is well-suited for temporary weigh stations, pop-up shops, or seasonal peak periods where dependable weighing is essential.

how to install Dymo Pelouze 250lb Digital USB Shipping Scale
- Unpack the scale and place it on a stable, level surface near your computer or shipping workstation. Ensure the area is clean and free from excessive vibration that could affect measurements.
- Connect the scale to your computer with the included USB cable. If your operating system prompts for drivers, allow the installation or visit the vendor’s site for any required software. In most setups, the scale will be ready for use after the computer recognizes the device.
- Power on the scale and select your preferred unit of measure (lb or kg) using the scale’s controls or accompanying software. This helps align the scale with your existing billing, shipping labels, and carrier requirements.
- Place an empty container or tare plate on the scale and perform a tare/zero operation. This ensures subsequent weighings reflect net weight rather than container weight, which is essential for accurate postage and packaging decisions.
- Proceed to weigh items, transferring readings to your shipping software or label printer via USB. If you use a carrier’s platform, verify that the software recognizes the scale’s measurements and auto-populates the weight field for label creation and rate calculation. Periodically verify readings with known weights to confirm ongoing accuracy and recalibrate if necessary according to the user manual.
