If you go to the GF9 Online Store, they show the space mats as 36"x36"

game mats
Yep I can send to Finland. I've worked out that I can do the mats for around £25/€30
hudsonrunabypass What is delivery cost to Finland? So total price 30€ + delivery?
Edited by KepagtWhat is delivery cost to Finland? So total price 30€ + delivery?
Yes it'll be around €30 + delivery. I'm afraid I can't give you a figure on shipping yet, I'm waiting for the delivery of poster tubes to come, as soon as I've got them I can get an exact weight and in turn an exact price on domestic and international shipping. I should have the poster tubes either later today or just after the weekend. I'll let you know as soon as possible.

Tx man, Your mat is so great, hope it,s not to expensive.

You and I both...I've been looking at the cost of shipping by other sellers of mats on ebay, most of them don't ship their mats rolled, they send them out folded in plastic postage bags, which obviously brings the weight down a lot compared to shipping in cardboard poster tubes, they charge around €8 for shipping to mainland europe, $17 to the US and around £5 for UK postage. After scouring the forums and loads of feedback pages I read again and again complaints and concerns about mats being folded, I'm not willing to go down that route to shave off a little bit of cash on the shipping, from my estimates I should be able to meet if not beat...oh ye that rhymed baby...those shipping prices above.

Also got a copy of the Planet mat design today which I'll be taking photo's of later tonight to post up.
Edited by hudsonrunabypassHA! I just realized this but i've never paid for an item on ebay when it was stated another currency other than American dollars. is there some sort of automatic exchange through ebay or paypal? Man, i suck at the internet....

Just replied to your PM about this 
I'll repeat it here anyways for everyone else....I'm happy to ship to the US, you should be able to select your country on the ebay page to get shipping rates.
I've tried to keep the cost of shipping down as much as I can, but keep in mind that these mats are shipped out rolled in poster tubes so they do weigh a fair bit, around a 1kg.
HA! I just realized this but i've never paid for an item on ebay when it was stated another currency other than American dollars. is there some sort of automatic exchange through ebay or paypal? Man, i suck at the internet....
Usually when I purchase things from an international seller it shows me the prices in my currency and not theirs, so there must be a way of doing it.
It's probably because my link is pointing to the .co.uk site and not .com....so here's the link through the .com site that should show the prices in $'s.
Bought One! Super Excited to receive it!

Paid through Paypal and it showed me the Total. For US, it's $60.57
Hopefully I get Signed by the Creator!
Anyone have any idea what that comes out to in dollars?
Oh and this may be super obvious, but if you're rolling them up and shipping them out in tubes, make sure you roll them up with the graphics visible, not the back of the mat. I was going to store mine back out, to protect the graphics from fading - great idea, but then they're rolled the wrong way for play and don't want to lie flat on the table.

Like JCDisaray said above including shipping to the US its $60.57 (around $16 or that is shipping I'm afraid). It's funny you mentioned about the mats being rolled front out, cause despite it being obvious I didn't think of it :/...luckily my wife has more smarts than me and pointed it out..so yeh all mats will be rolled front out so they lie flat.
Yeah I think he posted that basically as I was typing.
Hey don't feel bad - I was so proud of myself. Spent an hour one night trying to reroll all my maps back-out so that the graphics would be protected from fading. Then I went to play with one of them one night, and it's curling badly the wrong direction and those ships aren't heavy enough to weigh down heavy vinyl. Ugh. Spent another hour getting them all rolled back the correct way.
FYI, this is a strong argument against double-sided mats.

Ooh..thats a good point. Hadn't thought about that. When I was in my local games shop last week showing them the mat they were going on and on about having double-sided mats and if I'd do them.
Yeah again - they sound like a great idea, until you take into consideration the fact that if they're stored rolled up, one side is constantly going to curl the wrong way on you.
Bought One! Super Excited to receive it!
Me too im so excited... Cant whait! I have ordered asteroids http://www.gf9.com/Default.aspx?tabid=348&art_id=3905 from my local shop. I will send pictures when I get my map and asteroids...
Bought One! Super Excited to receive it!
Me too
Look forward to seeing the mat in use
I just bought one of these on fleabay and then saw them on this site .... Can't wait to get it
Bust for the US, I spose this is pay back for rebelling against English Authority; will have to receive my maps folded...makes me cry a little but still super excited about the quality of the mats.
Thank you, Hudson!

Yeh it sucks, really didn't want to have to ship any of them folded. The services that ebay and paypal let you select, even after giving the exact dimensions of your package, are very different to what royal mail are willing to take.
So after a day of almost taking a post office hostage in frustration and checking every courier I could possibly find, I've had to resign myself to the fact that for international shipping their gonna have to be folded. UK shipping though is A-OK for shipping in cardboard poster tubes.
Had to unlist the item on ebay whilst I sorted all this out. But its back up there now.
Here's the link:

Oh and by the way..I found something that's way more damaging to your x-wing miniatures than a small child...an inquisitive idiotic cat can rain down a whole load of chaos on them.
It's been one of those days.

I had a bad day this past Sunday...friend's dog ate my Shuttle's Dial...I had to order a new shuttle to replace it. I wasn't sure how to ask FFG for a replacement...since I can't really take a picture...unless they want a pic of a pile of dog crap.
