INTRODUCTION 

 

The Exceed UK Electronic Postage Computing Scale is an electronic compendium of postal services that incorporates and 
displays the cost of virtually all basic and supplementary standard Royal Mail services including ParcelForce services. The 
scale  is  graduated  in  1  gram  steps  throughout  its  5000  gram  capacity  and  displays  the  weight  of  any  item  placed  on  its 
weighing platform together with the service(s) selected and total postage cost. 

All countries world-wide are programmed into the Exceed's database so that, unlike many other scales, it is not necessary 
to know which Royal Mail zone the destination country is located within.  Simply key in the country code and the scale will 
automatically display the postage rates applicable to that country.
