OK, it's time to get down and dirty with Coupon Codes...LOL

Update:  Old post, sorry.  Head to The Helmet Harbor, LLC to see the various specials.

I can't speak for everyone, but I HATE jumping through hoops to get a discount, or to see the final price on products.  Look, I've handled this like everyone else out there.  Offered the price in the "cart only", had an "email for price" button.  I even went as far as a "members only" section in an effort to offer the price "I" felt was most fair.  Some of these "work arounds" might still come into play, but I with any luck those days will be limited.

In the next week I will have up a "Coupon Code" section.  On this page I will list the coupon codes for the various products we have for sale.  Enter the code during checkout, and the price will update once it takes effect.

My goal is to make it nearly impossible to find anyone online selling various products for less.  I think we've done a great job of providing a huge amount of information, so this should make our deals unbeatable.  REMEMBER, if you like what you see, tell everyone that might be interested.

Wow, You think I would learn...LOL

Well, if you've been to my site over the last 11 years, you've seen a few changes.

When I first launched The Helmet Harbor, LLC back in 1999 few online motorcycle apparel stores existed. You actually had to do most of the HTML yourself, which made for some pretty basic sites...lol. I was lucky, and knew a friend who had just graduated for ASU in computer science. He helped me design our second site in 2002, which lasted until 2007. In 2007 I updated again, and left that alone until last week.

With as many changes as I've been involved in, you would think that each time would become easier. I wish...

The new site still has a few bugs, but all the essential functions are up and running. This new design will allow me to offer discounts in a variety of ways to new and current customers. I will also have more control over discounts, and who sees them. My main goal was to have some improvements added that would allow me to better serve my past customers. If you fall into this category, I hope you agree that the change was worth it.

It's going to take some time to hammer out all the small details, but once finished, I think the extra work will be worth it.  If you have any questions, give me a call.
