    @Crossbow21  I'm using this contribution http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8409  Free Shipping Per Item.  It adds a little check box to item maintance.

    @@dculley  You are adding 20% to the weight of all packages. Set that to 0 and your weights will be accurate.
     
    @@Crossbow21  Online rates are cheaper, but you have to buy your postage online. There are also more restrictions on what you can ship with online postage. Since you are walking down to the post office, set it to Retail. And watch that tare weight -- it may increase some of your First Class Flat weights past the 13oz. limit.
     
    It's easy to say the Post Office will be making more changes. They always do.

    Admin >> Configuration >> Shipping/Packaging:
      Package Tare weight. 0
      Larger packages - percentage increase. 10
     
    The second one will increase shipping weight by 10%.
     
    Online is fine if you buy all of your postage online. If you are buying retail then all of your shipping quotes will be low.

    If I may – Not sure if this is now your problem but it almost sounds like it.  USPS uses US shipping weights.  For some reason I have found that the USPS program does not.  So I put to gather a chart that converts actual lb to web lb that will calculate the shipping cost to match USPS rates.  I have used this for the last 3 years.  Say you weigh your package and it weighs 4lb, in item maintenance you will till it weighs 3.55.  The USPS program will charge the correct amount for the shipping as if it weighed 4lbs.  I have no clue as to why. 
     
    You might have to do as I did and sit up a test item so you can play with weights to see what will = 50 US lbs.  I don’t ship that heavy so I don’t have that one to share.
     
    I have attached a file and hopes that will help get you started.lb weights chart for usps.pdf
