It's fine and dandy for USPS to verify the weight and dimension of the packages being shipped. However, USPS do not have calibrated scales. I always weight my packages with 2 different digital scales before taking it to the post office.
There is one postal worker who almost always weight my package as being heavier than it is. Sometimes I let it go, sometimes I bring it to his attention. After I bring it to his attention, he weight it again on the same scale, the weight comes out correctly. This has happened with other postal worker at the same post office on different scales. It is very fishy to me. Because I was at the counter, I was able to resolve the issue right away. But with the APV, we will not have an opportunity to dispute the weight discrepency!
This is just another way sellers will be squeezed out of more money. Please don't misunderstand me. I know there are sellers who short change the USPS. But with this method, many honest sellers will have their money taken away from them unjustly.
