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.
