| Hello there! When setting up shipping, does the weight margin apply to just the
weight of the items or to the item weight plus the base weight? So, if the base
weight is 1oz and the items purchased totals 5oz, would a 10% weight margin apply
to 5oz or 6oz?

IMHO it's a margin to the items weight only.
The base weight you *know* it, so you provide your exact number (with or without
a margin or an average).

Not opinion (humble of otherwise) But rather to your knowledge, being
more empirical

That definitely would make the most sense, but above the adjustment fields, it
states “All adjustments will be combined to calculate total weight and dimension”,
which I interpret as base weight + item weight x weight margin. That doesn’t
make sense to me, but I can’t find anything on BL that clarifies this.

As items weight can vary A LOT depending color, year of production and whatever,
I wouldn't worry.
Simply provide an accurate base weight, then think at the margin to limit errors
you'd pay extra shipping for.
I use 5%, and I really don't / never care about extra shipping paid. Selling
is making an "average" profit, sometimes there are losses - just limit
them, but there will always be.
