It seems to me that, if the calculated weight of the shipment exceeds
the limit for First Class Mail, the option could be "grayed out" or a
message to that effect could be displayed next to the "Shipped to you
via:" field. Also, when First Class Mail is the chosen option, it does
say "Small Parts, USA ONLY, 14 Oz. Max."
Even if Elecraft contracts for web development, they certainly can press
the developer(s) for such an option.

Definitely not "just as easy" if the field is supposed to be a number.
The right way to code this is to eliminate First Class Mail as an option
when the weight goes over 14 oz.
Whoever wrote the shopping cart on the web site didn't really anticipate
some of the very light items that Elecraft sells. If they don't have
source code (likely) then fixing it could be difficult.
I know, I ran a hosting company and did sites for 25 years.
That said, it seems IOTTMCO that if the shipping charge is $999, one
should explore other options.
