Check in with our shipper member, gorven and see what he says on having to weigh it before shipping. I say because I have been shipping pallets for a while and I give my buyer a good guess on weight and he tells me about what it will cost. When I drop off my pallet at the shipping company, I think its YRC was Yellow Freight. They weigh the pallet and do their paper work for it then and there.
Now as far as being a buyer, as most of us are at least sometimes, having a good scale is a great thing to have.
