Ordering Seasonal Packages for Someone at Pamlico: Dates, Rules, and Device Compatibility
Sending a seasonal package to someone at Pamlico? Two things trip people up: timing and item rules. Here's how the ordering site works, what the dates mean, and what to check before you buy.
To order seasonal packages for someone incarcerated in North Carolina, including at Pamlico, you'll use the NC Inmate Package site. It's a statewide system where you pick your package options and place your order through the vendor.
“Pre-approved” means the items you see on the shopping pages are already approved for delivery statewide. That’s helpful because you’re not guessing whether something will get rejected for being an unapproved brand or category, you’re shopping from a list that’s meant to clear the basic approval rules.
Seasonal packages have order windows, and they can be short. One example: a spring package window ran from Wednesday, January 7 through Friday, February 6. Check the NC Inmate Package site for current dates before you plan your purchase, especially if you're timing it around a birthday or holiday.
If the person you're ordering for gets placed on control status (HCON, MCON, ICON) or becomes a Safekeeper before the package ships, the vendor cancels the order. You'll get a refund minus a $5 restocking fee. If their status might change, ordering early in the window reduces your chance of a last-minute cancellation.
