Shipped out packages with the wrong weight through USPS…

I am an idiot. I just shipped them out, one was off by 7 oz one was off by A WHOLE POUND. The USPS guy said it may not be an issue but if it is they’ll make the buyers pick the packages up from the post office and pay a difference.

I messaged my buyers about it and let them know that may potentially happen and I’ll comp them out the difference. Do you guys think USPS will actually care?? Like I feel like they will and I’ll be inconveniencing the hell out of my buyers and I feel so bad. I obviously already let them know and that I will comp whatever postage is owed.

I just feel so bad. I had no idea it’d be a huge issue. I feel like this is common enough though I mean not everyone has a scale and my guesses were not that bad or inaccurate.

I feel so bad regardless. Can anyone help/has anyone been dumb enough to do this before? Did the package still get to the buyer just fine or did they have to pay a fee? I just said to them be prepared for that to happen but it might not. If it does, i’ll comp out whatever postage fee incurs. I just feel awful because these are my first two sales and I don’t immediately want to have horrible ratings. I put so much effort i to packaging them all nice too ughh.

Please help😭😭
