General Information

Pennsylvania Correctional Industries (PCI) operates under the state-use system - a system that inmates can produce goods and services only for consumption by governments and other tax-supported entities. New customers should contact PCI Customer Service department to set up their customer account and to receive more information on the products and services that are best suited for them.

Pricing

The price list from the catalog sections supersedes all previous price lists distributed by PCI. Prices are subject to change without notice, and some products and delivery services may involve additional charges. To avoid any misunderstandings or delays in production, you are advised to contact your PCI Sales Representative or our Customer Service Department at 717.425.7292 from 8 am to 4 pm on any business day. All PCI product and service prices, to the best of our knowledge, represent fair market value when compared to similar products and services available commercially. Prices are reviewed in this context on a regular basis.

Shipping, Handling and Delivery Services

Many PCI products include standard UPS delivery. Oversize or heavy products and items shipped using common carriers are subject to added freight charges. Please note that additional shipping when it is required is noted in the product description. Many items in the Services section of the catalog will designate whether shipping needs to be included. For shipping quotes on these products call your Sales and Marketing Representative at 717.425.7292.

Special crating, custom packaging, and installation services are available at an additional charge.

PCI standard delivery is to the receiving dock only. PCI offers inside delivery, unpacking, assembly, set-up and installation services at an additional charge. Please specify these services in advance. Charges will be quoted to you upon request.
