5 out of 5 starsI like the letterpressed worldmap and I am very happy with it. Shipment worked fine and I picked up the parcel in good condition at German customs. Quality of paper is good, no reason to complain. I've already prepared the map with pins for all the destinations in the world, which I've already visited - so the map is an eyecatcher in my flat :-) Thanks to designahoy for the good handling. Would make the purchase again.

1 out of 5 starsPaper is very flimsy. Cannot see the letterpress details. Very odd shape. Dissapointed.

I'm sorry to hear that you are not happy with the map. However, I’m a bit confused with your comments. The paper is in no way flimsy. It’s printed on a thick 118 lb cover stock. The 20 x 29” dimensions are clearly stated in the item details. If those were not the dimensions you wanted, I’m not sure why you order the map in the first place? The letterpress printing is high-quality. I'm confident all the photos show a true depiction of the print and quality.

Kendra ordered a map from me about a year ago, deliver was confirmed. However, she recently emailed me and tried to act like the map never came. After some back and forth communication, she eventually admits that she probably lost the map because she was in the middle of a move. She then orders a new map and has me cancel the order. Unfortunately, there is very little a person can do to satisfy someone like that.

2 out of 5 starsShipping took too long that really bummed me. I still haven't opened it because I was so annoyed.

Kendra ordered a map on Feb. 20th and I shipped it out on Feb. 23rd. Unfortunately, once an order is shipped I have no control over how long USPS will take.
