I'd like to see an additional package adjustment. Add x weight for each
lot in the order. (I suppose volume could be done too, but weight seems most
important)

If this were available, I would add 0.015 ounces per lot. My estimate of average
baggie weight. (Qty 100 2x2 baggies = 1.5 ounces)

In my experience 14.5 ounces of ABS in one lot will easily ship at the 15.9 ounce
USPS First Class Package rate (US domestic). But 14.0 ounces in 75 lots will
certainly exceed the maximum weight for the USPS Domestic First Class Package.


NOTES: Base weight in this scenario 1.0 ounces for me. #2 bubble mailer, 9x12
baggie, 1 sheet of paper, and one 4x6 thermal label. A 5% weight adjustment
on lot weight would put the 14.5 ounce order as too heavy, while the 14.0 ounce
order is under 16 ounces. Which is the opposite of what I want to happen.

Questions: for US sellers with reliable instant checkout, what base weight
& percentage adjustment are you using today? I don't really care about
14 ounces vs. 15 ounce rate. Just the under/over when there is a large rate
jump.
