I need a new AirHawk seat and I'm in Mexico.

OK I'll give this a go but I don't expect any answers!

I had my beloved AirHawk seat stolen last week and I could really do with getting another one. I've tried ordering one (to be sent to Costa Rica where I will be staying for two weeks over Xmas) but Amazon.com won't deliver there. I wasn't sure if it would arrive anyway but I thought I'd give it a go as I really want to save my ass!

Does anyone know how I could get one sent to me? And to where? Is there anyone out there with a safe address somewhere in Central America who know they can get stuff sent to them from Amazon.com who would be willing to let me send a package to them - I'm in Souther Mexico at the moment so I'm looking at Costa Rica/Panama.

Or does anyone know of a website/company who would deliver (and have Airhawks). I've tried a few but no good. I figure if Amazon won't do it then no one will.

Perhaps there's someone living in Central America who doesn't want there old Airhawk and will sell it to me....

My only other option is to get one sent to a friends address in the UK and get them to post it to Costa Rica but I don't know if I've got time. That's what I'll have to do but I thought I'd just throw this out there first just in case....

I would have thought the last idea the best option, send in express UPS and you'll get it in 5 days no problem.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
