After ordering a scale and not hearing anything for a couple of weeks I called to inquire about it. I was then told that the scale that I had ordered was out of stock. The rep suggested a different scale which was a little higher priced. I do not have a problem with an item being out of stock but do think that it was very poor customer service that I had to call in order to find out after 2 weeks that this was the case. With that being said I am happy with the scale that I received.

I thought the Ohaus TAJ602 Balance was supposed to have the Linearity Calibration performed at the factory. I would think that this would mean that the Calibration Lock would be locked after the calibration process. However, my scales arrived with the Calibration Lock UNLOCKED. This conserns me in that the scales may not be accurate. I have Class 7 Calibration Weights which, when tested on the scales is usually off by 0.01g for the 10g weight & the diviation increases as I use larger weights, even after a Span calibration. I know these are only Class 7 weights so, I can't say for sure if it's the weights or scales. I do like the scales but I also noticed that the weight does frequently frequently bounce around from 0.01g to 0.02g and I need to Tar the scales frequently. I am currently considering wheather I should pay a pro to have them calibrated or just return the scales.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. The TAJ602 is calibrated at the factory, but this balance is sensitive to 0.01 gram and the location where you are located can be affected by the local acceleration of gravity. Therefore, we suggest that it be calibrated in your location to account for the local difference in gravity. Also, the calibration lock does not need to be locked when in transport and should come to you unlocked. Only the transport lock needs to be locked for shipping. The calibration lock is used for inspection by the local department of weights and measures to lock and seal the calibration mechanism for "legal for trade" applications and therefore should come to you unlocked. You can use either a 300 gram class 3 weight or a 500 gram class 2 weight together with a 100 gram class 3 weight to calibrate the balance. Class 7 weights have a variance of 0.021 grams at 300 grams and cannot ensure accurate span calibration. Settling of 0.01 to 0.02 grams is normal and will probably settle down once the balance has warmed up for at least 1/2 an hour. Also, make sure that it is level and on a stable surface. We can provide the proper calibration weights if you feel you need them. Thank you for your order and your feedback! Regards, H&C Weighing Systems

We received a new Ohaus MB45 --and upon testing it, it failed within the first 5 minutes. We asked for a return/replacement for the defective unit and they pushed us to the manufacturer. Not exactly great service.

Hi Paul, Thank you for your feedback. We refer customers to the manufacturer so that they can talk with tech support to correctly diagnose the problem with the product. Also, the warranty is covered by the manufacturer, so they need to know what is wrong with the scale before they can replace it. Many times, a quick call to the manufacturer's tech support department can resolve the issue over the phone. Regards, H&C

I paid $75 for two-day air delivery to Hawaii. Received the item 5 days later.

Hi Ty, Your order was received in the afternoon of Wednesday the 29th after our same day cutoff time of 2 pm, so it was shipped via 2 day air the very next day on Thursday. It was delivered on Monday the 3rd, which is 2 business days after the day it was shipped. Unfortunately, weekends don't count as travel days with UPS. Regards, H&C

Hi Dwayne, The 439 eye level mechanical physician scale is packed in two pieces by the manufacturer to cut down on the packaging volume to save the customer money in shipping fees. Regards, H&C Weighing Systems

Scale did not work for relative because he needs a digital because of dementia. He threw away the packaging and you don't take returns without original packaging. Not a good policy.
