Where in Los Angeles can I buy this?

March 11, 2019 3:09 PM

I want to buy a hanging scale / luggage scale in the general price range of this one . The kicker is that I want to buy it in person at a brick and mortar store somewhere in Los Angeles County. Where can I find one?

Check Google Shopping's "available nearby" results.. you'll generally have to double-check availability on the store site (or call) but looks like similar items are carried at Target, REI, Bed Bath & Beyond, Fry's... also try Distant Lands in Pasadena.

Try looking for a fish scale at any sporting goods store. (Fish scales seem to be cheaper than luggage scales, even though they are the same things.)

Distant Lands is sadly closed; maybe H. Savinar Luggage if that's convenient?

I have seen luggage scales like that at JC Penny up here in oregon. So I assume they will also have them down there.

Check the website "pick up today" options near you for Target, BB&B, Kohl's etc. I know I've recently seen one at Target but the two stores close to me don't show one in stock at this moment.

If you're near a mall, do the same for whatever anchor stores they have, and if your mall has a luggage store, call and ask.

Unfortunately, many store chains here stock based on very local demand so it's hard to say for sure, without knowing what part of town you'd ideally want to look in.

Container Store. They have two on their website, you can check availability in stores.

I was at Marshall's in the Beverly Connection this weekend and they had them there. And seconding the Container Store suggestion.

There are scales like that on the Home Depot web site. I didnt see one that was available in my store, but there might be one available in yours. If not, you can order online for pickup in the store.
