Uranium Metal Samples up for grabs

VSEPR_VOID - 28-12-2018 at 18:43

Is anyone interested in getting some small samples of depleted uranium metal? I have a gram of turning that I can portion out into small vials and place under oil.

Each sample would be ~0.1 gram in a microtube under oil.

Price is 20 dollars and will be shipped for free to anywhere in the US, Alaska, Hawaii, or Antarctica. Shipping outside the US is extra.

Why free for Antarctica?

Because USPS ships to Antarctica for very cheap believe it or not. I have shipped to a research base there before.

Hang on a minute, most antarctic missions have a docking point in NZ down in Christchurch, meaning im pretty sure most mail would go through this way too. In fact a quick google search says thats exactly what happens.
Why the hell then do i have to pay retardedly high shipping costs to my part of the world, or have people just refuse to ship here.

Ive been trying to convince a company to ship PTFE stoppers from the UK and they want me to pay 30 pounds for shipping for a parcel that would weigh no more than 100g.

Thats bull shit.
