We have it connected to our UPS Worldship software and it displays the weight inside the software each time we place a box on the scale.<\/p>\n<p>Well unfortunately this past week, somehow we broke the USB port off our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/blog\/mettler-toledo-ps60-replaced-by-bc60-shipping-scale\/\">PS60 shipping scale<\/a>. This meant that our scale no longer displayed the weight inside the UPS Worldship software and that we would need to MANUALLY TYPE each boxes weight into our software!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/Shipping.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mettler-toledo-bc60-ups-shipping-scale.jpg\" alt=\"shipping scales\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mettler-toledo-bc60-ups-shipping-scale.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mettler-toledo-bc60-ups-shipping-scale-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t realize how good you have it until something breaks and you have to change your process.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sure some of you can appreciate this. Of course, this week we had tons of boxes to ship out and we&#8217;re manually entering each one into the Worldship software!<\/p>\n<p>We finally got the scale fixed yesterday and it&#8217;s working beautifully once again.\u00a0 But I learned a couple of lessons that I would like to share with you.<\/p>\n<p>First, if you ship boxes each day and you&#8217;re manually entering weight into your software&#8230; please do some homework and see if you can add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/Mettler-Toledo-BC60-UPS.html\">Mettler Toledo BC60 shipping scale<\/a> to your process. It will make your life easier and in our experience, the scales are very reliable and it&#8217;s well worth your money to make life a little easier for you, and\/or your employees.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, if you ship boxes out on a regular basis, do yourself a favor and buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/blog\/new-improved-nci-7800-series-shipping-scales\/\">backup shipping scale<\/a>. Ideally, you will want a backup scale that can also connect to your shipping software. This way, you&#8217;re not scrambling when you have a failure. Or perhaps, depending on your shipping volume, you could even create a second shipping station including a computer, shipping scale, tape, and boxes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think we&#8217;ve mentioned this in the past but in case we haven&#8217;t&#8230;.
