SOS SURVIVAL KITS - Store Entry Agreement
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER.
TERMS OF SALE: You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase my products, NO EXCEPTIONS! Therefore whoever places an online or mail-in order you are certifying that you are at least 18 years of age and you are purchasing my products in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. International orders & customers are responsible for knowing the import laws, fees, and taxes on the items being imported and assume all risk or loss of any confiscations made by customs. Please do not purchase any of my products if your country does not allow them to be imported. All the knives that come with my SOS Survival Kits are strictly for survival & outdoor use only and should never be used as weapons.
WORLDWIDE ORDERS WELCOME! But be advised all my SOS Survival Kits & products are shipped from here in Italy where I live. And so the shipping cost you see listed below alongside my survival kit products are just for the following countries or regions only: US, Canada, Europe, & Africa . All others (Asia, China, Australia, S. America, etc...) you will have to pay 1/3 or 33% more to cover the shipping cost to your country. And so you have a choice, you can either forward me the difference in a separate Paypal payment or you can contact me via email and tell me what it is that you want to purchase from my website and I will forward you an invoice showing the total amount to send me. And if you don't have Paypal, no problem, I will be happy to accept either a US, European or International money order, bank or personal check provided you make it out to: Richard F. Tscherne and it's payable in either US Dollars or Euros. To receive an order form that you can print off and mail to me, just contact me via email at: sossurvivalkits@live.com
SHIPPING & POSTAL INSURANCE: According to the US and Italian postal shipping charts, it costs about the same amount of money (+/-) to ship an 8 oz - 16 oz package from New York to California (or vice versa) as it does to ship it from Italy to anywhere in the US. The only difference is, if you want your package sent via insured or register mail, which is the only way I can provide you a tracking number, it will cost an extra $10.00 for this service/coverage. ( Ouch! ) Yep, this is the reason why most of my customers chose NOT to have their order shipped via insured or registered mail. But it's OPTIONAL, which means it's up to you and NOT me. But. No postal insurance, no replacements or refunds should your order arrive damaged or not at all. Sorry but I have no control over these Italian postal insurance rates. And so once your package is taken to the post office it's entirely in the Italian and US Postal Service hands.

DELIVERY TIME: Please be patient! Don't send me a nasty email asking "Hey Rick, I sent you my damn money ten days ago, where's my freakin order?" All orders are shipped out within 3 days (+/-) after receiving your payment. But if you fail to receive your order within 3 weeks, then give it another week. It's NOT because I'm sitting on your order but because the US Postal Service is taking their sweet time in delivering it to you. Trust me, almost every time someone has emailed me about their order it usually shows up in their mailbox the next day or a few days later. And so when you finally do receive your order, check the postmark on the package to see when I mailed it. And if it doesn't arrive and you chose not to have it shipped via insured or registered mail, sorry but it'll be your lost and not mine. Again, postal insurance is strictly optional, your choice and not me.
RETURN POLICY & REFUNDS: When you receive your order and something arrives defected, please contact me right away via email so I can try to quickly resolve the problem either by forwarding you a replacement or a refund. Do not send anything back until we have discussed what's wrong with your order or my return policy will be void.
QUESTIONS? Should you have any questions or you need to contact me for any reason, please be patient 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 24-72 hours, please don't assume I am ignoring you or I took your money and ran to Switzerland with it. Running this online store & website is only a hobby and part-time business for me, not a full time job. But rest assured I will try my best to get back to you within 24 hours or less unless I am away from home, extremely busy, it's a weekend or an American / Italian holiday which is when my computer is " off " like me.
