Your order will be shipped upon receiving approval by the facility and should deliver to the facility approximately 2 weeks after it is placed. Please allow 2 weeks before contacting our Customer Service in regards to the delivery status of your order.

Q: How do I know that items are acceptable at the facility?

Q: What if I do not know the name of the correctional facility?
A: It is very important that you choose the correct facility in which your inmate resides or your package will get refused.

A: In the unlikely event that something is out of stock, we will substitute with an item of equal or greater value or we will substitute with an alternate item if you have agreed to have substitute items sent.
Q: What if something in the order is broken or defective?
A: If there is a problem with your order please contact our customer service department so that it can be resolved. If something is broken or defective, we will simply require confirmation from the Property Room Department.
Q: Why are some of my favorite brands not available?
A: We carry a broad selection of products that meet the stringent guidelines of the Alabama Department of Corrections. Many of your favorite brands may not be considered appropriate for use inside a correctional facility or may not meet the strict packaging requirements. Please let us know however if you have an item that you would like us to carry and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Q: What happens if the package is refused at the correctional facility?
A: Should the package be refused because of our error, we will correct the problem and reship the package to the inmate at no charge to you. Should the package be refused for some other reason, we will provide a full refund to the person purchasing the order. Shipping is not refundable.
