UK friends, I'm looking for a scale.

submitted almost 6 years ago by lNTERLINKEDI did not ask for this flair.

Hey guys. My scale finally died a disastrous eggnog related death, and I'm looking for a new one.

My last scale was just a standard £10 one from Amazon. It had auto shut-off, which I hated, and it had no mains input, so if my batteries died, I was SOL.

Can any UK/EU people recommend me a new one that has the option of mains power and no auto shut-off please?

Cheers guys, and merry Christmas!

I wanted to grab one of those, as I've seen it recommended here for years, but Amazon UK doesn't seem to have any available. Any other places I might pick one up?

Thanks for the rec btw.

Buy via Amazon US and use their Global Shipping option (which somehow includes all UK duty and vat liability) for $45.83 / £35.37.

It'll take 2-3 weeks to arrive and you'll need a US->13a converter (a quid or two from Argos etc) but nowhere in the UK gets close on price.

That's what I use. Do you have..."head shops" in the UK? or some charmingly named variant?

I was looking for 0.001-100g and bought this one for under £4 with shipping included to EU (during black friday promo from a top rated seller with 100k+ sells). Still waiting, should be delivered these days; reviews ain't bad, but it's running on batteries only.
