I was thinking of sending my luggage, and I noticed it! …… But ~ I don't have a scale ~!
"Internet auction" is an auction held using the Internet.
It is a kind of so-called e-commerce, and "Yahoo Auction" and the flea market app "Mercari" are especially famous, and I also sell and buy unnecessary things.
By the way, I'm blurring now that I'm buying something I don't need, but for those who didn't notice it, I've included an explanation just in case. Thank you very much.
By the way, when I tried to pack the sold products and ship them, I noticed something.
"What? What is the size and weight of this baggage?"
…… In many cases, the author puts up an item for auction on the condition of “payment on delivery”, but in rare cases, it is necessary to ship by “prepayment”. In such a case, I brought the parcel to a courier service dealer and paid the shipping fee, and when collecting the parcel, I asked the person in charge to measure the size and weight of the parcel and tell me the fare.
However, I am the author who recently suffered from a serious cash deficiency.
In the case of carry-on or pick-up, it is often not possible to pay the shipping fee with a credit card, and if you do not have cash with you, you will often be embarrassed by saying "Please come back!". This is a serious problem.
This means that you have to find out how much the shipping cost will be before shipping the package. And to find out the size of your luggage, you need a "measure".
"I need a scale ... Isn't there a scale at home?"
I think there are many people who think that. Of course, we also have a scale at home.
However, many weight scales these days are equipped with a capacitive sensor. It is a high-tech gadget that can measure not only weight but also various values such as body fat percentage and BMI by riding with bare feet, but many of these scales can measure the weight of luggage such as cardboard. There is nothing! What is it?
Well, all you have to do is buy a new old-fashioned analog scale, but this costs money again.
Even if you buy an analog scale, you still have problems. If you're just trying to find out the weight of a package for shipping kilograms, you can use a scale, but it's rare to send a compact package, such as a mail envelope.
In that case, you need a scale that can weigh your luggage in grams.
Even if you buy an analog scale, it usually measures in "kilograms".
After all, does this also have to buy another scale? Then, no matter how much money you have, it's really not enough! This was a problem!
It's a hassle to calculate, so no, pay a lot of money ...! What a method is a select shop that I cannot accept.
By the way, in the old days, when measuring postage, it was common to weigh with a simple balance-like scale as shown below. At that time, the price was about 1000 yen.
However……. Nowadays, these scales are rarely distributed in the market, this is it!
If you think it's a lie, check it out online. Perhaps it is a second-hand item and can only be obtained from Yahoo Auction or Mercari.
By the way, I've seen Amazon sell for 10,000 yen. Can you pay!
Is there a scale that can be measured in grams or kilograms?
…… Furthermore, as a postal service, not only ordinary letters and postcards, but also
● Yu-Pack …… So-called courier service. We can ship from 60 to 170 sizes, which is the total length and width of cm. ● Letter pack …… A4 size, flat rate nationwide up to 4 kg (letter pack plus 520 yen, letter pack light 370 yen). ● Click post …… You can pay at home and create an address label, and if it is the specified size, it can be shipped for 198 yen nationwide. ● Yu-Packet …… If it is the specified size, it can be shipped for 250 yen to 360 yen in Japan.
For Yamato Transport,

Items that fit in an envelope are by mail, and items larger than that are delivered by courier. Overpayment! !! There is a high possibility that This was a problem!
In this era of the heyday of convenient gadgets, it is possible to easily measure both packages, whether in grams of mail or kilograms of parcel delivery, and is there a scale that can ship products at a reasonable price? ……?
Actually there is.

Thickness measuring ruler
When sending so-called mail such as standard and non-standard mail, not only the vertical and horizontal size but also the thickness of the mail is very important.
I'm sure there are people who think that it's okay to measure the thickness with a major, but after all, such things are intuitive inspiration, and what I want to investigate with Rakuchin is a common recognition of humankind. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that. I just think.
"Thickness measurement ruler" has a delivery table and size measurement line on the surface, such as standard mail, non-standard mail, Yu-mail, Yu-packet, letter pack, smart letter, click post, cat POS, Takkyubin compact, etc. , It is an excellent one that supports various types of mail. It's Benri if there is one in the family!
It's thick enough, so it's extremely durable.
However, there are various standards for "mail" other than standard and non-standard. It's really nice to know the specified size at a glance just by hitting the surface of the ruler against the envelope or inserting it into the hole! is.

Rotating stamp for mail
Unfortunately, when sending some kind of mail, it is unfortunate that characters such as "No folding", "Confidential", "Yu-mail", "Specific record", "Simple registered mail", "Express delivery" are handwritten in red. It's self-evident that you have to move your hands and it's very annoying. Let's leave such work to Hamtaro and Hanko.
If it is a penetrating stamp that does not require a stamp pad and the stamp surface is impregnated with ink, it is highly recommended because it can be easily and easily stamped on pompon mail.
I dare to listen to the opinion, "Handwrite that much by yourself," but I just tilt it.

Address stamp
By the way, it is really troublesome to handwrite your address every time you send mail.
At this time, let's make a stamp here as well.
Now, even if it is made-to-order, you can order it for a little over 1000 yen. Price destruction has progressed to such a place.
Of course, the opinion that "you should handwrite that much yourself" is true. I just wanted to make my own address stamp!

scale
An essential scale for measuring your height and the size of courier services as well as mail.
In most cases, the size of the courier service is different, such as "60/80/100/120/140/160 size", depending on the total size of length, width, and height.
When purchasing a scale for courier, it seems that some vendors support up to "170 sizes (for example, Yamato can accept up to 160 sizes, Yu-Pack can accept up to 170 sizes)", so I dare to do it. You may be happy if you get a 170 size scale.
Of course, if you only ship by a company that only supports "160 size", you may not need to be so particular about it. Please choose the one you like.
