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).

A ratio scale is a quantitative measurement scale that possesses all the properties of an interval scale, but also includes a true zero point, which allows for the comparison of absolute magnitudes. This means that both differences and ratios between values can be meaningfully calculated. Examples of ratio scales include height, weight, and temperature in Kelvin. Because of the true zero, it is possible to say that one value is twice as much as another, making it a powerful tool for statistical analysis.

The weight of an envelope can be determined by using a postal or kitchen scale. Simply place the envelope on the scale and read the weight displayed. If you do not have a scale, you can use the postage rate chart to estimate the weight based on the number of sheets of paper and the envelope size.
