How Long Union Supply Packages Take for Holman — And 3 Ways to Order
Ordering a Union Supply package for someone at Holman? Most of the wait comes down to one thing: facility approval. Here's what that means, how long it takes, and three ways to place your order.
Union Supply (alinmatepackage) sells packages designed to meet Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) requirements for facilities like Holman. But each order still needs facility approval before it ships. The good news? You don't have to coordinate that yourself - once you place the order, Union Supply handles the approval process with ADOC.
Every order going to Holman requires this approval step. Your order isn't packed and shipped the moment you submit it - it has to be cleared first. Union Supply submits it for facility approval and tracks the process before anything moves forward.
Three Ways Order
- ✓ Order online - Place an order at http://alinmatepackage.com.
- ✓ Order by phone - Call 562-361-5715.
- ✓ Order by mail - Send your order to: Union Supply, 2500 Regent Blvd. Dept 651, Dallas, TX 75261-9059.
Choose whichever method works best for you. Order online if you want speed, call if you'd rather have help placing it, or mail in paperwork if that's easier. Regardless of how you order, everything still goes through the same ADOC facility-approval process before shipping to Holman.
According to Union Supply, facility approval typically takes about two weeks. This is the waiting phase most families run into. It happens after you place your order - Union Supply submits it to ADOC and handles that step for you.
Once approval comes through, Union Supply ships the order. Their guidance: expect delivery to the facility about two weeks after you place the order, assuming approval goes smoothly. Planning for a birthday or holiday? Build in extra time for that approval step before you expect anything to arrive at Holman.
Note: The two-week timeframes are typical estimates. Facility approval is the gate that controls when an order can ship and when it ultimately reaches the facility.
Items on Union Supply's alinmatepackage pages are pre-approved by ADOC for inmate orders. That helps you avoid rejected items - but I'd still recommend checking the Rules & Regulations section on the site for any item-specific limits before you submit.
Not sure if something's allowed? Start with what's listed on the shopping pages, then double-check the Rules & Regulations section for details on that package type. Sticking to what's listed is the easiest way to keep your Holman order moving through approval without unnecessary delays.
- Use the official ordering channels - Order through alinmatepackage online, by phone, or by mail so it goes into Union Supply’s approval workflow.
- Stick to what’s shown as available - The shopping pages list items that are pre-approved by ADOC, and the Rules & Regulations section is where you’ll find the fine print for that package type.
- Save your order details and give it time - Because shipping happens after facility approval and timelines are typically measured in weeks, keep your confirmation information handy while the order works through approval and delivery.
Reminder: Even with ADOC pre-approved items, each order still requires facility approval for Holman - and Union Supply is the one that runs that approval process after you place the order.
