So now we've got Christmas well and truely out of the way, I've revisited this and updated the shipping costs
(please note if you order a mixture of items there still may be a problem as it can get a bit complicated but if you are just ordering the maps with one or two expansions it should all work fine)

Hi Andrew Wood from Board Game Extras here,
the shipping of these maps is a bit problematic. In that they are too  big to go regular mail, so they have to go by courier. 
the problem is that while we got good rates on courier jobs within the EU, outside of the EU it is expensive.
I will need to contact the couriers to see what rate we can get but it is still going to be expensive (ok not £250 but certainly at least £50)

the other problem is how the website deals with things.   So there is no simply checkbox that says item must go by courier, instead everything has a weight and so we have to use a high figure to force the system to give a courier cost, however, if you order 2 things to go by courier, then it gets more complicated as there are two 'courier weights' in the system, and then if you order 5 it goes up even higher.  There is no neat solution for this.
