getting down to the dregs here - I have 4 ingots (2.5 pounds) of linotype alloy that I can ship to anywhere in the USA for a total of $18.50 - if interested, drop me a note via the email listed on my web page,
There is still a quantity of separator alloy (more tin) and lead ingots available too.
Too far away for me, but I'm curious: what's it good for?
Might be better to hawk it on Craigslist. Shipping is going to be a killer. Pretty much a So Cal only deal if you allow pickup.

You can put a lot of lead in a flat rate box.
IIRC flat rate boxes have a 70 pound limit... they're a great deal for small heavy stuff. They even give you the box for free!

Where were you when I as begging for a lousy couple hundred pounds, Bill?
I need three boxes, please?
Pretty much
aaah, wes/?? I said "delivered in the USA", so my $18.50 offer included shipping within the USA (but, sadly, not canada - add another $10 for Canada).
They have them free for the taking at the post office [1]... or you can order larger quantities from the usps web site. They even ship them to you postage free. Be sure to get the size you need, the shipping 'flat rate' varies a bit for the different box sizes.

[1] In my (limited) experience, Flat Rate box stock can vary somewhat from one post office to another. If they don't have the box/es you need out in the lobby, try asking. They sometimes have more behind the counter, or stashed in the back.
Looking for lead here, Eric...
I ship metal targets that way sometimes. Four or five boxes. Heavy. I build in 1/4" wood sides/top/bottom - all six - to spread the weight across the whole surface. These boxes are tossed from one site to another - then into conveyor belts then tossed...
