The digital scale helps you decide the best class of mail based on your needs and calculates the exact postage needed.

Afraid you’ll forget? Just note the end of your trial period on your calendar. That’s what I did with my free trial of Amazon Prime and I’ve already cancelled because I didn’t use it that much.
