More USPS Shipping Options

Hi,

We are a USPS shipper and would greatly appreasheate a some more shipping options.
We have a bunch of items that I have a hard time getting accurate shipping rates on
because they are very light.  I do not want to overcharge my customers by adding 
weight to the item to compinsate for the shipping materals because if they order more then
one I will over charge them.  Someone talked about a configurable flat rate option which 
would be great for our heaver items, but it does not address the light weight item problem 
that we have. 

 Is there any way that we could enter the weight of the box into the program
and then add the weight of each to the box.

ie:  Box weight = 1.5 Pounds
item weights        1 ounce
                             1.3 ounces
total                      1 pound 10.3 ounces   (shipping weight)

I know this is a simple example but something like the above, in addition to, a configurable
flat rate would be great.
