Be aware though, you may get an annoyed Postal worker/Postmaster who instead of charging you for the extra ounce up tier, will decide to upgrade you to a Large Flat Rate Priority Express Box instead.

I think I may have had that happen before, and noticed it on my Stamps.com account.

I noticed the charge in time to challenge it however, and eventually got refunded for it.

Another theory I had, since I don't think I under-weighed that item, is I think my little package was riding on top of the label of a larger Priority Box when it went though the system, and I got upcharged for a package that wasn't mine by an annoyed computer...and not a postal worker at all.
