Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to be honest here: I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son who is currently on his first deployment in Afghanistan. Needless to say after I ordered it and had it shipped to my home, it was wrapped and shipped around the world to his current station. I was so excited as he had already traveled thru Europe in high school and given he is enlisted for 8 years this would help track all his travels. I’ve confirmed with him that he has never taken it out of the box yet as he wanted to wait until he is stateside to unbox it and appreciate what it was. Just this past week I received an email from the company asking how I liked the product and if I would leave feedback. I was honest and explained why I couldn’t but we would be happy to in a few months when my son is stateside again. My email was immediately followed up with a Thank you for my sons service and the man responding that he as well had served and they wanted to provide me with one for free. I was blown away as I was simply stating we would need to wait and would happily give feedback once we could. He (Stanley) from Wanderlust not only sent me 1 for free but he sent 3 in total. Really essentially 6. As there are 2 maps per box, one U.S. map and one world map. Now each of my kids remaining at home can follow their brother and mark off all their travels in the U.S. as well. The box the maps come in is beautiful all in itself. The quality of the map is durable as well as the coating to scratch each location. It doesn’t seem like it will scratch in error easily at all which will maintain the integrity of each location until ready to scratch. I immediately scratched Afghanistan. Thank you Stanley! Your customer service was above par and something so hard to come by these days.
