Heads Up, now 15 oz and 1 lb will be priced differently

[sapphire_studio]

In the past on purchasing labels from ebay I would put 1 lb if it was over 12 oz. That is not a good idea with the recent price changes. Here is the difference on one item between putting 15 oz and putting 1 lb. Just though I would give everyone a heads up.

Calling ebay is useless(like I had to say that) but he 1st thought I was complaining about the rate increase overall. Tried to explain it but his English was horrible and think he got the idea.

 I sell a lot of packages(hundreds) that weight just over 15 oz and never had problem, moves it to 16 but get charge 15.999. I'm afraid if I just mark it 15 oz, USPS will hit me with a "shipping adjustment" and charge me more.

 I may have to look into pirateship as long as I can get a shipping total for the year

Oh you will get FAR MORE than just a shipping total for the year. They are RIFE with useful economic data.

When purchasing labels on eBay that are over 12 oz I've always been able to round to 1 pound and always got the same price as 15 oz. On pirate ship it is different and I had to type in 15.9 because 1 lb would bump it up. 

On ebay today it suddenly matters and on packages over 12 oz and under 1 lb I plan on now just putting 15 oz.

That's very strange, because I literally just printed out a 16 oz GA label less than 20 minutes ago and was charged $6.79 for it.

Maybe they live close to you? I just got a purchase from someone who lives in my own city. Because they live so close both prices for 15oz and 1lb are under $6 but they are still different:

Putting 15 is fine for anything less than 15.999.

I have always put 15 just incase changes do happen because technically 1 lb is in a separate bracket.

There should be no adjustments for anything that's between 15-15.999 because it's the same rate. No price difference.

Adjustments happen when the recorded weight is in a different weight tier.
