For your convenience: Postal scale update

Do you have a Pelouze mechanical postal scale at home that has a display that looks like this?

postal scales

Note that mine is marked Pelouze Model X2.

If you click here, you'll get a pretty large jpg (100K) you can cut out and tape over your old scale to update it for the new postal rates taking effect on Monday. Each strip should be exactly 4" when you print it out.

Note: Since this required me adding in increments or $0.24, it is undoubtedly error-riddled. If so, could you please let me know so I can fix it? Thanks. [Tags: postalrates stamps]

13 oz. should be $3.27 (not $3.57)

Thanks!

Thank you for the postal rates. I was thinking I was going to have to buy a new scale.

You can also order a replacement rate plate (the one you have snaps off and the new one snaps easily in place) for $7.50 on the pelouze.com website. (They call it a dial.) They're 10% off right now and shipping was free.
