Ideally, yes, of course. An ounce is an ounce.

In reality, most postal scales are, if you're lucky, accurate enough to keep you from getting your letters returned for insufficient postage. Let's just say there's a reason jewellers use more expensive scales, based on balances or electronic sensors, rather than the spring in your postal scale.

So just because it doesn't show up on the postal scale as exactly the weight it's supposed to be, doesn't mean you've been scammed (or gotten lucky, as the case may be).
