Unhappy Cutting Mat Issue

So, I bought a big cutting mat - 36" x 48" because trying to square up my nine-patch quilt using what I had just wasn't the solution and I'm getting ready to start quilting on my sister's DWR and my niece's Mini-Irish Chain in the coming weeks, plus start on my nephew's quilt this weekend. I ordered it from Amazon and it arrived today, but I have a problem with it, hoping someone can help me out.

I was expecting it to be delivered flat like my 24" x 36", but this one came rolled, which really shocked me. I pulled it out of the box and got it to open up as quick as I could, it was extremely hot today and it sat outside under the sun for about twenty minutes before I could bring it in. It was a little bit of a fight, the mat just didn't want to unroll at first, but once I got it unrolled, I put it flat on my floor. It's been several hours since I put it down, it seems to have flattened some, but it looks like the edges are taking their sweet time.

Has anybody had a cutting mat delivered that way and if so, did you have problems with getting flat like it should be? This one kind of has me scratching my head.
