MAIL IN ORDERS: Located at the very bottom of this page you will find my order form, please print it off and mail it in along with your check or money order to this Italian address here;

Army Ranger Rick Tscherne
Via Canevon 15 – B
Bardolino (VR) Italy 37011

ATTENTION PAYPAL USERS: Should any of my “Buy Now” PayPal links fail to function properly, just log directly onto www.Paypal.com to send me your order. My PayPal email address is: sossurvivalkits@live.com When sending me your order please make sure you add up correctly the cost and don't forget to include shipping & handling, (see below). And then in the remarks section of your PayPal payment, write down what this money is for and where you want it shipped, your address and then press the “Send Money” button.

SHIPPING & DELIVERY TIME: Depending on what you order, some items could take anywhere between 2-4 weeks for delivery. If you pay via PayPal - your order will usually be shipped out with 48 hours or less. If you mail-in your order – your order will be shipped when your money order or check clears my bank. And if you don't receive your order by the 4 th week, please be patient and don't send me a nasty email asking.. “Hey Rick, where's my damn freakin order?” Give it another few days before contacting me because most of the time the hold up ain't with me but with the US Postal Service. And so when you finally do receive it check the postmark on the package and you'll see when I shipped it and who took their time in deliverying it to you. (Pssst, the US Postal Service)

IF YOU WANT YOUR ORDER INSURED: Then you must state so with your order and forward the correct additional amount, $2.50 per every $50.00 worth of items. And if you fail to state and forward this amount, then your order will be ship “uninsured.” This postal insurance is OPTIONAL, meaning it's up to YOU and not ME. But rarely has anyone requested their order to be shipped via insured mail and I have only received one complaint so far. But no postal insurance – then on replacement will be sent if your order arrives broken or not at all.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS WELCOME! Below you will find the approximate shipping cost. But if you are planning to order multiple items then I suggest you contact me via email so I can give you a more accurate shipping quote. And when you do, please state: (a) name of the items, (b) quantity, and (c) your address including your country code too. And then as soon as I find out from my post office the shipping cost is when I will get back to you. Here are the approximate international shipping cost rates from Italy;

GOT A QUESTION? No problem, feel free to contact me at: sossurvivalkits@live.com But please be patient in waiting on a reply back from me as I do not sit in front of my computer 24-7-12 waiting for email messages. And so if you don't hear from me within 72 hours don't assume or jump to conclusions that I am ignoring you or I took your money and ran off to Switzerland with it, ok? Running this website is only a hobby and part-time business for me. But rest assured I will try my best to get back to you as soon as I can unless I am away from home, it's Saturday, Sunday or an American/Italian holiday which is when my computer is off like me. Got it? 

And so now you can proceed to view my products below.

Better Leader

 

 

25 Days To Becoming a Better Leader at Work, Home & PlayNow I have read a lot of military leadership books but none of them have come close to this one. This is a simple, down to earth, easy to understand book in how to be a good leader or a better one. The author, Cpt. Lee Kind explains his leadership techniques in such easy to understand terms and how to handle yourself in a number of common everyday leadership situations, whether you're in the military, at work, home, school or simply at some sports event. You will learn not only how to become a good leader and how to deal with everyday ordinary people and get them to obey and respect you, but to like you too.
