Rating:  - * Good so far! ... I just got this and plugged it in and I know it works, I haven't actually used it yet for any packages I'm to send but I'm hoping it will be accurate! Rating:  - * Great for Small Office ... This is a great postage scale. I have a small business and have wasted lots of postage over the years "estimating" what the correct postage would be and adding an extra stamp or two "just to be sure". The scale is very accurate and will eventually pay for itself. Rating: - * Great little scale ... I've been using this scale regularly for over a month now to weigh packages that I sell via the Amazon Marketplace. It's compact, simple to use, and looks to be well built. It's exactly what I was looking for in a postal scale. Rating: - * Works Great for small packages - so far ... it took me a few tries before I figured out that it weighs in fractions of an ounce - so I was getting 1.9 etc for really light packages, which means 1.9 ounces. It only shows lbs when it's heavy enough - and it seems to be pretty accurate. I use it to ship things with PayPal shipping via USPS and I have to round up to whole ounces anyway, so it doesn't seem to effect the cost of postage negatively. As far as I can tell, I'm paying exactly what I would if I took it to the post office and had them weigh it, so it works great for me. Rating: - * Top Scale ... Top scale, very handy to use, and saves time on not having to weight it at the PO or UPS store. |
It's three movies in one, beginning when punctuality-obsessed Federal Express systems engineer Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) departs on Christmas Eve to escort an ill-fated flight of FedEx packages. Following a mid-Pacific plane crash, movie number two chronicles Chuck's four-year survival on a remote island, totally alone save for a Wilson volleyball (aptly named "Wilson") that becomes Chuck's closest "friend." Movie number three leads up to Chuck's rescue and an awkward encounter with his ex-girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt, in a thankless role), for whom Chuck has seemingly risen from the grave.
It's fascinating to witness Chuck's emerging survival skills, and Hanks's remarkable physical transformation is matched by his finely tuned performance. With slow, rhythmic camera moves and brilliant use of sound, Zemeckis wisely avoids the postcard prettiness of The Black Stallion and The Blue Lagoon to emphasize the harshness of Chuck's ascetic solitude, and this stylistic restraint allows Cast Away to resonate more than one might expect. Even the final scene--which feels like a crowd-pleasing compromise--offers hope without shoving it down our throats. You may not feel the emotional rush that you're meant to feel, but Cast Away remains a respectable effort. --Jeff Shannon
