Do You Ship To Inmates?
Yes! We will happily ship to inmates.

The easiest way for inmates to order from Rapbay.com is outlined below1. Most correctional facilities require orders to be placed by the inmate. The inmate will authorize a check from his own account and send a check along with an order form in an envelope. His/Her facility will authorize the inmates order before the inmate mails the order form and check. After the facility authorizes the order then paper work will be in place for the inmate to receive his/her order.2. Many times facilities will require Rapbay.com to send a catalog to an inmate with all the order information before they can order. You can call rapbay.com at 1-866-4-rapbay to request a catalog be sent to an inmate or emailcs@rapbay.com.3. Jpay.com is a good way to send inmates money using a credit card or debit card. This money will be put on the inmates account allowing them to buy from Rapbay.com. Just log on to jpay.com and set up an account. You will need your inmates name, PFN number and other info. Its real easy. You can also send your inmate emails and pictures for a small fee using jpay.com.4. Some facilities will allow people on the outside to order using a credit card or money order using the rapbay.com website. Rapbay.com will then include an invoice along with the order and send it to the inmate. This way is not always guaranteed. Many times facilities will consider this contra band and the order will be refused or confiscated.5. After Rapbay.com receives the order we process it, enter it into the computer and ship the order along with a receipt to the inmate.

In addition some majore labels are now printing On Demand CDs that are official releases and are using high quality CD-Rs but we will indicate these releases.

What does AVS Mismatch Mean?
AVS Mismatch stands for Address Verification System Mismatch. That means your billing address you are trying to use with your credit card is not matching with what your bank has on file for that card. You will need to either enter the correct billing address associated with your card or contact your bank.
What if my card or payment was declined?
If your card was declined that could be due to a lack of funds or if youve recently added funds to your account they may not have posted yet. Also, if youre using a pre-paid card, make sure the card has been activated. Please contact your bank or payment method customer service to find out why your payment was declined. Each time you try your credit card the bank will put a hold on your funds, so before trying multiple times contact your bank to see what the issue might be.
Does it look like you got charged twice?
Did you recently try placing an order only to get a message that the card was declined for either an AVS mismatch or was declined due to the bank?
What youre seeing on your bank account is a temporary hold of funds that was placed there by your bank. Any time you use your card, whether or not it was approved or declined, the bank automatically puts a hold on the funds to verify that theyre there.
Once the bank sees that the card was declined those holds will drop off and the money will be returned to your account.Typically, this only takes a couple of days but it depends entirely on your financial institution.Please note, the bank is the one who declined the card, not Rapbay, so unfortunately, we have no ability to return the money or drop the holds. You typically just have to wait until they drop off.If your card gets declined, call us or call your bank before trying multiple times. Each time you try your card another hold will be placed.If your card was declined that could be due to a lack of funds or if youve recently added funds to your account they may not have posted yet. Also, if youre using a pre-paid card, make sure the card has been activated.This can happen for a number of reasons: things may be spelled differently, if youve moved recently, the bank may not have updated your new address (which if this is case, try your old address also because more often than not, this works.), etc.If you talk to your bank and find that everything matches, you can always place your order using Google Checkout, they have different filters and tend to accept addresses easier.
