The USPS also defines any container or envelope over 5 mm thick and or weighing 56 grams or more is a package, therefore package shipping rates apply.
Lastly, we are a commercial shipper.  The USPS picks up from us every day.  If we under weigh packages by error or otherwise, the USPS can cancel the postage. Then return the package(s) to us for accurate weight on a new shipping label. So we avoid all that and follow their guidelines.
