Shipping should have a "minimum weight" for a package that is user-set and can be changed. Shipping module uses a 1lb min currently but that only kicks in if the total weight of a package is zero. If a person puts 5 items in their cart and four are zero weight and one is 1/2 ounce, then the total weight is 1/2 ounce and that's what gets sent to the shipping mod for calculation.

Some customers who sent lots of lightweight items but don't fill out weight may want a smaller minimum than other stores, and we should be able to set a "hard mininum" (anything less brings it up) or a "soft minimum" where any non-zero weight would avoid the minimum like it works now. This way we cover all customer scenarios.
