    Default Package Tare - Difference in "small to medium" and "large"

    I was wondering if anyone knows the following. At what point is a package considered to be a "large" package so that is adds on the weight for a "large" package.

    Does this go by weight, items, cost, or what?

    This is based on the Maximum Weight setting ...

    If Maximum Weight is set to 50, then Small/Medium work for less than 50 and Large works for 50+ ...

    Is there any way to change that? The reason I'm asking is this. Probably half my items I mail in small poly envelopes that weight maybe .5 oz. to 1.5 oz. each. Then the other half are items that might weight anywhere from 1# to several pounds, and are shipped in boxes.

    It would work great for me if a "small/medium" package was anything under 1#, and the large was anything over 1#. I could set my tare for smaller packages at just a couple ounces and a larger package at (an avg.) of about 10 - 12 ounces.

    On a bigger item I guess I can just include the box weight. The only problem with that is if someone buys 5 of an item then they end up paying for about 3#'s too much.

    If I buy 11 of the 1.5oz Products ... is this considered a Small/Medium Package or is this now considered a Large Package?

    On Products of 1lb or more, are each Product Qty considered to be its own box?
