OUCH, make sure you check Dimensions and lengths
I got lucky, customer ask about a Large tackle box I have listed, I double check and forgot to check the dimensions, found out 3 sides were under 1/2" so I rounded down, July 12th USPS started rounding up, almost cost me $60 in shipping.

USPS also lowere the divisor for dimensional weight, it is now 133. So 1989/133 = 14.95, so this box would go out at the minmum of the 15 lb. rate.
