I'm not junking the ad, quite the contrary. I want him to know there are shipping options for larger shipments and that might sway his prices...and it's good to know what the prices are locally so you can make adjustments. If I had an ad out and it was under utilized I'd like to know if theres a part of the country I'm not doing business with because of the price. Also, I'm not sure you can ship lead USPS...might want to check that before you find out you can't receive packages that way because they don't give unauthorized items back. Lead is unusually high here because we have two battery makers in Wisconsin...at least that's my opinion.
Lead falls under Hazmat, Solids Class 9C and requires it to be containerized against spillage. For instance if the box is broken, it will not spill out and the handler will not come in contact with the material. According to USPS at least.
I want to reiterate, I'm not junking or slamming I just saw it and realized shipping needs to be pretty well nailed down or you are going to have confiscated shipments....and then nobody is happy. Take my advice on that...ask your post office directly if you need to. I lost two flat rate boxes of lithium ion batteries early on before I did the proper research on hazmat materials with USPS. I paid for that...literally I might add and I don't want anyone to have to learn a lesson the hard way if they don't have to.
Also...to the buyer, if your making fishing weights...can I buy some? You can't get lead shot weights around here at all anymore and the zinc ones they sell are terrible.
