No, we do not ship web orders to Mardel stores. If your local Mardel store does not have the item in stock you are looking for, a store associate will be happy to assist you and order the product for you.
-
Can I have my order shipped to a prison or county jail?
Mardel will ship our products to prisons, county jails and other correctional facilities. Before ordering from our website, please contact the correctional facility that you would like to have your package delivered to for their specific delivery requirements, as these can vary for each facility. Please include detailed instructions for delivery and note that the item(s) are being sent to a prison or correctional facility when you place your order so that we can do our part to make sure the package is delivered correctly.
Some tips to keep in mind to ensure your package meets the general standards held by most prisons:
Include the prisoner's first and last names, as well as the prisoner's ID number in the shipping information.
Most correctional facilities only allow inmates to receive paperback items. Your name will be included on the packing slip-anonymity is not allowed. If the inmate has been transferred or is no longer at the facility that you ship the item to, we will refund your purchase after the items have been returned to us from the facility. This process can take up to 8 weeks - or sometimes even longer - depending on how quickly the facility returns our products to us. Mardel will not contact the facility to determine an alternative delivery for the inmate or former inmate. Although we would love to allow you to include a personalize note with your package, most prisons do not allow this. Therefore, we can not allow it either so that your package will meet these standards set forth by the facilities.
Packages for inmates generally should not include more than three (3) items, as most prisons do not allow more than this number to be given to an inmate at any one time.
