Autoscales are autoscales, you can buy them anywhere but the differences comes down to how the packaging/shipping is handled. I was pleasantly shocked with how well RCM8 packaged the autoscale, they double layer bubble wrapped & then reinforced the plastic case with cardboard to make sure I you wont have a damaged display case.

I love to see when a company goes the extra mile & RCm8 surly does!

Here is a link to my unboxing if you want to see the evidence ;) https://youtu.be/nsJOKBgWri0
