How is shipping weight calculated?

I can see that each of the order items has a weight associated with it with a precision of up to 4 decimals in pounds. When an order takes place, are all of the weights added up and then sent to the shipping quote or is each item sent separately? Also, is there any rounding going on with the weight before it is sent to the the shipping quote, or is sent with the 4 decimal precision? Any insight would be very helpful!

Thanks,

Hello Bryan,

All of the items are added together in weight and then rounded up before being sent to the gateway. If you have products marked as 'ships separately', then these items are sent to the gateway one by one and rated individually.
