5.0 out of 5 stars Great Educational Product for Kids & Adults Alike!, July 23, 2007

This review is from: Rand McNally M Series World Wall Map: Laminated (Map)

We purchased both the world and USA maps to hang in the kids' playroom and they were a really great purchase; quite large, very strong and laminated so we can draw out our trips in dry erase markers which the kids just love to do. It was very important to me to find laminated for this purpose and most were VERY expensive - these were dirt cheap by comparison and we are quite impressed with the quality so far. We wanted something to help teach our kids geography both world & USA (as well as help us remember what we have forgotten from school)and so far these maps have been educational & fun. The kids cannot wait until the next season of The Amazing Race begins (which is what prompted me to purchase these maps in the first place), so we can map out the teams' route and visually "see" where they are traveling. The only problem we have had is that the USA map arrived quite mangled and could not be hung flat on a wall. Amazon customer service couldn't have been nicer. They sent us an immediate replacement and paid for us to return the damaged one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, but poor delivery by AMZN, July 14, 2008

This review is from: World Wall Map Deluxe Laminated (M Series Map of the World) (Map)

Great Product, updated to reflect recent geopolitical changes. However, the box that AMZN shipped the rolled up map in broke in half while in UPS's possession, crumpling up the rolled up map completely. In true form to AMZN's great service, a replacement was sent along as a return postage for the damaged map. Unfortunately, the replacement was sent in the same exact type of packaging and broke in UPS's possession again! The second time, the damage was not nearly as bad, leaving only one small crease in the map, so I decided to just keep it. AMZN should probably change it's practice of using standard shipping tubes instead of long triangular boxes that can break fairly easily in shipper's hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price, October 10, 2008

This review is from: World Wall Map Deluxe Laminated (M Series Map of the World) (Map)

This is a pretty nice map for the price. It's thinner than I expected and it has plastic strips across the top and bottom to give it some rigidity. The "lamination" is more like a plastic coating than what I would expect after reading "laminated map." Overall, I think its great for less than $12 shipped. Delivery was very fast and it came in a triangular shipping tube. The map itself was only protected inside this tube by plastic wrap...so it bounced around during shipping causing some slight crinkles at the edges, but the map arrived in reasonably good shape. If the map were enclosed in a tighter fitting plastic tube, which was then put in the shipping container, there would be zero damage during shipment. Oh well. Its still worth the price.
