No entries yet, and nothing is for sale. The measurement session fills in the last column, and each product lists only after its row is filled. Until then you can turn the three bars over in 3D in the store. Full entries will go in the Ledger, and every product will list with its own weighed sample number and a guarantee: each unit within 2 percent of what we published, or we make it right.
- We weigh the weights. A calibrated scale, on camera, before anything lists. Are weight plates accurate covers how far labels drift.
- The price will include shipping. When the iron lists, there is no shipping line at checkout. Pennsylvania orders add state sales tax, shown before you pay.
- A human answers. Usually the same one who will weigh the samples.
