Member Benefits
Currently there is no requirement to be a member to access the website, the HUBB or to receive the monthly e-zine. For now, 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.
What we are able to do, as a result of the major upgrade to the HUBB software, is to provide additional features which people who voluntarily contribute to the site can use, such as having more space for posting pictures, since people have asked for that, especially if they don't have their own website. The table below summarizes the HUBB benefits for members. Please note that we have taken nothing away from the privileges Registered Users have, we have just added additional privileges for contributing members.

What if I don't want to order online?
You can order through us if you
don't want to order online for any reason.
Check out the products in the store, decide what
you want, including the sizes. You can then send your order directly
to us by e-mail, specifying what items you want with which slogan,
and the sizes, plus your mailing address. We'll let you know the
total cost, and you can pay by PayPal or send us a check or money order.
We'll do the order through CafePress, who will ship
it directly to you. For our overseas members, we can accept checks
or money orders in Sterling, Euros and Canadian $,
in addition to US$. (What can I say, we've lived in a lot of places
and have a lot of bank accounts ;-)
Product Range
CafePress has
only a limited range of products currently available, (but are
continually adding more products to the range). We know you also
want black or brown t-shirts, cause that's how they'll look a few
days out, but CafePress only does white and grey so far. And the
titanium mugs will have to wait for awhile, till we see how
much demand there is. So get over there and buy
stuff! And if you don't see something you want, let
us know!
What if I just want
to contribute?
Some people have told us they don't need any more
t-shirts or mugs, but they'd still like to show support. That's
fine too. You can send a check for any amount, in US$, C$, UK£ or Euros. (As I said, we've lived in a lot of places and have a lot
of bank accounts ;-)
Please make the cheque payable to Grant Johnson, (NOT Horizons Unlimited!!), and mail to your closest address below:

All contributions will be acknowledged and gratefully accepted.
If you later decide you do want an item from the store, let us
know and we will arrange it.
PayPal
NOTE you can use your Amex, Discover, Visa, Mastercard, e-Checks with PayPal - you do not need a PayPal account. And of course you can contribute any amount you wish in your preferred currency (or PayPal will convert automatically if you use a different currency):
New
to PayPal? Sign-Up here.
You can now contribute to Horizons Unlimited via PayPal (just
click the PayPal button above.) PayPal is now owned by eBay and
is the official payment method on eBay.
Sending money with PayPal is free to you, and costs us less than
Amazon Honor System. You can send money to anyone with an email
address. PayPal is secure - your financial information is never
shared with us, and there's no risk of checks getting lost in the
mail.
PayPal supports sending and receiving payments in five currencies:
U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, and Yen.
Paypal has over 30 million members worldwide, in 38 countries.
Residents of most European countries, Canada, UK, Mexico, Australia,
New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore can send money and
withdraw money to local bank accounts.
All contributions will be acknowledged and gratefully accepted.
If you later decide you do want an item from the store, let us
know and we will arrange it.
Amazon Honor System

You can also contribute to Horizons Unlimited via the Amazon
Honor System. Amazon.com, arguably the best known online retailer,
has over 29 million customers, and is very experienced
in online transactions. We've been buying from them for years.
You can become a Member with a $20.00 contribution, or
a Gold Member with a $45.00 contribution, but any contribution
is greatly appreciated.

Please Note: Amazon has a secure server, and a strict
privacy code.
In fact, the only way we will even know you've
contributed is if you choose to tell us by clicking the Send
info button on the Amazon thank-you page.
Then Amazon
will provide us with your name and e-mail address so we can add
you to our Members list and change your status on the HUBB. Please also note that Amazon will not
provide your credit card number or information or your address
to us under any circumstances. More info
on the Amazon Honor System.
As always, we are very interested in your thoughts,
so if you have any comments, ideas, etc on the Souk, please
let us know! |
