Should have shipped it Flat rate box.

You were not trying hard enough. Sheet lead, unrolled takes nearly zero room! Put it on the floor of the trunk, or on the floorboard on the passenger side, then put stuff on top of it!!

You should have unrolled it and folded it flat and used it for a floor matt.

You could have put the wife on a plane and put the lead in the passenger seat.

Back in the mid-70's I was traveling to Tocoma, WA with my wife and three kids in the back seat of our Chevy Chevette with all our camping gear.
We had a flat tire and had to put the spare on to get to a gas station.
At the gas station I saw a full bucket of wheel weights and asked the guy if he wanted to get rid of them.
I found room in that little Chevette. :idea:Try harder next time.:idea:

Not enough to lose sleep over (I thought as I lay awake last night), BUT
there is a space in front of the radiator you could have stashed it in.

I mean free is free after all...:)

A bud made me smile at church today. He has been remodeling an X-ray room and has me a pile of sheet lead. Now for an Antimony supply. This should give me maybe 3K#s in reserve for when it is outlawed.

The brother from Nampa ID and I (St Louis MO) meet at the Quigley shoot in Forsyth MT every June. He pays his share of the motel room in wheel weight ingots...I think he has connections to every tire shop in his area. Two years ago I bought extra ingots from him...put 240 pounds on the passenger side floor in front and the other 500+ pounds on the floor boards in back. The '06 Impala sure rode different going back home.

This year he shipped me 3 flat rate boxes at about 70 pounds each...and got a cursing from the mail lady and my wife both....and sent the rest of what he owed via the younger brother who drove from Nampa to St Louis to visit Mom.

I hear ya, and I feel your pain

I lived in a remote town for a few years

when I transfered out, I had to lease a whole boxcar on the train to get my care out, as the car carrier would not go to my new location.

so, on my car goes. Later that day, after the boxcar was sealed, I get a phone call from a guy, who has 15000 lbs of steel to go to my new location and would pay half my boxcar. I checked... too late!

then I get a call from another guy who says I should grab some sheet lead at this site, that is just waste roofing material. He said it is considered a hazard and anyone can grab it. "OVER 20,000lbs of PURE LEAD SHEET"

I almost cried

I still get a tear in my eye thinking about it!

Sheet lead? Roll it out on top of the car roof and bungee it down.
