Susie, you need to spend $125 to get free shipping. The XL mat I ordered was $124.99! That's why adding a $5 item saved me $15.
I was looking at their round-a-bout too, as it would be better than my Olfa square rotating mat, but figure I should wear out the one I have first.

Suggestion ... just set a smaller mat on top, and let it be your round-a-bout!
I just plunk a small one on top.
Cut.
Turn the mat.
Cut again ... more versatile for usages .... and saved me a whole lot of dough!

I use a 6"x24" ruler with an alignment lip on the edge for most of my quilts. I bought an Olfa mat bc my old June Tailor was very worn. I failed to notice that measurements on the Olfa mat are printed inside the beginning measurement lines, meaning fabric covers the measurements when I align the fabric. As a result, the June Tailor still gets used most of the time and the Olfa stays in the closet. :-(
