    Fees!

    I have just purchased a Mangement Membership and was very suprised when the amount was debited.
    You advertise the membership for $149 in the ordering form. That's what I expected to pay. However, as this is an international forum then I beleive your order forms should state you charge in US dollars, that I way I wouldn't be too suprised when I am charged over $200 Australian for the same membership.

    My two cents worth.

    First of all. I want to say that I don't doubt the benifits of being a member. Please join!

    Secondly, The fee to join is US $149.
    I was questioning why the form didn't state US $149. I paid over $200 Australian.

    I should have looked into it better.

    But again, don't let my issue distract you from joining. It will definatly benifit you.

    Regards

    Good one mate. So you should

    Did you see the new chat in the after hours area?

    Ashley's chat. That's where all our chit chat and stuff is meant to be. (I don't think this place is moderated)

    Just kidding.

    And IPIU agrees!

    Thank you for alerting us of the lack of additional clarity.

    Please email betty.stevens@ipiu.org and inquire as to the Australian benefits and membership. We want to make sure you understand what you should be receiving.

    The general ecommerce site is based on Canadian and USA members. In Canada, nearly all commerce is now done in US dollars because our Canadian exchange rate changes so much. Our dollar is off about 20% compared to the Australian dollar which is off more.

    Here is an site that you can play with:
    http://www.xe.net/ucc/



    In the end, I have seen IPIU be VERY fair in opening up new markets for private investigators. But understand too that shipping to Australia is more expensive for both magazines, manuals, and other items.

    At least you are on dry land and not on the South Pole.

    Your colleague,

    Cynthia

    No, Hugh. All memberships are in US Funds and the management membership is $149.00 US

    But I will email tech support to add US Funds to the ecommerce site.

    Thankyou Cynthia for your reply. The currency converter was pretty close to what I paid.

    I will email Betty Stevens but I am assuming that I will receive all benifits as discribed on the payment form. At least I hope I do.
