The Cell Companion 2022

IMPORTANT NOTICE

If you are buying for a prisoner and wish us to send them the book as an MOJ Approved Book Retailer make sure you put the Prisoner’s Name, Number and Prison Address as the ‘Delivery Address’ – and if you add your phone number we can contact you in case of queries. If you want to claim an inmate discount the book(s) must be sent to them at the prison direct by us or you must pay the public price to have them sent to you.

What happens next?
Once you click on the appropriate ‘Buy’ button below you will next be taken to Romancart, our shopping cart agent, where details of your purchase will be displayed.

Once you are satisfied these details are correct, visit our terms and conditions page (you must positively agree to all these terms and conditions by ticking the box before your purchase can proceed) then click ‘Checkout’ and you will be taken to the secure payment screen where you will input the cardholder name and address (not the card number) and the Delivery details – if buying for an inmate this is the place to enter their name, prison number and prison address if you have ordered at the inmate price.

Once you have accepted the terms and conditions just click ‘Pay’ and you will then be securely connected to Stripe, our online payment agent. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, Stripe use the best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security at Stripe.

Your online security is very important to us – only Stripe has access to your payment card details; neither we nor Romancart have any access to them.

Once you have made the payment you will receive an email confirming your order – so please make sure your email address is entered correctly.

We will also email you once we have dispatched the book – we only use either Royal Mail or DHL dependent on the size of the order – and our dispatch email will give you full tracking details, and a link to the relevant tracking web site so you can satisfy yourself as to the signed-for delivery.

Thank you for shopping with Prisons Org UK – and if you have any questions or queries at all just email us your Order Number (it will start with “RC”) and we will get right back to you – customer.services@prisons.org.uk
