SPecial Instructions
Because packages must be received at the institution within the quarterly period for which they were purchased, please order at least 2 weeks or more in advance of the quarter-end.
The four quarterly periods are as follows:
Quarter 1: January 1 thru March 31
Quarter 2: April 1 thru June 30
Quarter 3: July 1 thru September 30
Quarter 4: October 1 thru December 31
All products in this catalog are approved for quarterly packages for privilege groups a, b, c, and d.
Backorders and substitutions are not permitted. In the event an item is out of stock or discontinued, a full refund for that item will be issued to the purchaser.
Prices good thru December 31, 2021. Please note from time to time some products may be discontinued beyond our control by the manufacturing lab.
The maximum weight per order allowed is currently 30 pounds.
How to figure the weight of your package
1. Allow 2 pounds for the box and packing materials.
2. Each item has a “weight in pounds” listed beside it in tenths of a pound . For example, an item listed as 1.2 pounds is 1 and 2 tenths of a pound per bottle. An item listed as .5 pounds is 5 tenths of a pound or one-half pound per bottle. For 6 pack pricing (or 3 pack pricing), we listed the weight per 6 pack. For example, a 6 pack listed as 4.1 pounds means 6 bottles of that product weigh 4.1 pounds, not 4.1 pounds per bottle. Another example: an item weighing .6 pounds and an item weighing .4 pounds totals 1 pound (.6 + .4 = 1.0 pounds or 1 pound even).
Example:
Box and packing material allowance 2.0 pounds
1 6 pack (6 bottles) of #43 maximum one-a-day (1 x 3.9 = 3.9) 3.9 pounds
2 bottles of #11 protein/amino acid at 1.6 pounds each (2 x 1.6 = 3.2) 3.2 pounds
Total Weight 9.1 pounds
We will weigh orders before shipping. If an order received is overweight (over 30 pounds), we will use our judgment and fill as much of the order we can and issue a full credit or refund to you or the purchaser for the balance of the unshipped amount.
Formula descriptions printed in this catalog may vary slightly from time to time from the actual product received due to a slight formula change after catalog printing or due to inadvertent printing error.

Return Policy
Merchandise can be returned at inmate expense in unopened, unmarked, undamaged resaleable condition within 60 days of shipment for full credit (minus our cost of shipping to an inmate) towards the purchase of future merchandise. Request for check or credit card refund instead of credit toward future purchase subject to an additional 15% restocking fee. Example: inmate returns merchandise totaling $105.00 ($100.00 worth of merchandise plus $5.00 shipping) for a credit towards a future purchase. If the merchandise cost us $10.00 to originally ship, you will have a $95.00 credit on file ($105.00 less our $10.00 shipping costs) good towards a future purchase. In the same example but instead of requesting a refund, the refund would be for $79.25 ($105.00 less our $10.00 shipping cost less $15.75 restocking fee (15% of $105.00 restocking fee)). United parcel service now charges us return shipping fees for refused/returned packages that are not prepaid by the inmate. If a package is returned in cases of us having to also pay return shipping and/or issue a call tag for unwanted merchandise instead of the inmate returning at his expense, those additional return shipping and/or call tag costs will be deducted from any credit or refund.
We recommend you insure any returned package because we can not issue credits or refunds on lost or damaged packages (note: packages we shipped that are unopened and in the original packaging and refused by the institution upon arrival are automatically insured)
Opened merchandise or factory seal broken merchandise can not be returned (unless somehow defective). See below for damaged merchandise.
Packages refused by the institution due to damage or packages containing damaged merchandise as a result of shipping (or in the very rare case of defective merchandise) do not go to the expense of returning the damaged items. Have the institution or purchaser contact us. We will file a claim with united parcel service and replace the damaged merchandise at no extra expense to you or issue a full refund. (note: an example of defective merchandise would be broken tablets or tablet shortage (very rare). “ I don’t like the taste” or “I didn’t get the results I expected” is not an example of defective merchandise)
Refused packages: (example: inmate on admin. Seg., being disciplined, paroled, did not want, prison mistake, etc.) same as above in paragraph one but we can re-ship if allowed upon reimbursing for our actual shipping costs (and return shipping costs if any). For example, the package is returned which costs us $10.00 to originally ship and we are charged $10.00 for return shipping. Upon payment of $20.00, we will re-ship.
