Rule no. 1: Stop using Amazon. Come on!! This is why we will never be set free from the reigns of billionair3s. Too many people rely on them. There has to be another way
But you go to r/freeluigi (main sub page) -> see community info (at top under description) -> scroll down to moderators -> there is a mail icon in right corner
Ah, thanks! Doesn’t look like it lets me add images? I don’t use the app. Happy to add my titles to the thread but don’t have the bandwidth to troubleshoot all this. But thank you!!!!
No I totally understand! You need to upload to Imgur.com and then copy the link to the message. I just want to verify that the book was actually sent to prevent trolls
so weird, the only difference I see (compared to the address I used) is the comma after the p.o. box number. would you mind telling us how you filled the address?
Line 1 I put the PO Box, Line 2 I put MDC Brooklyn. I noticed that mine got delivered at like 6:30am and so I'm wondering if they just started refusing packages bc they got overwhelmed or something. I don't know if they're allowed to do that, I think legally they have to have him sign a confiscation form and give him the opportunity to mail it home or throw it away so I'm not really sure what the issue is.
Yes if it's 10 books he will have reached that quota. I have read online that different prisons have different rules. Whatever the quota is at the Brooklyn prison he has most likely reached it.
Yeah, I can see that. If it's any consolation then I have read online from former prison inmates that the guards sometimes steal the inmates' books. A letter doesn't have much value to anyone other than the inmate, but a book has its own value. I don't know how you can do it, but maybe check with the prison what the quota is, and ask when there will be a new quota.
Hi! I'd be happy to! Quick question: if the order doesn't work out for any reason (the books I ordered haven't shipped yet), is there a way to record that information?
Don’t know if that was the problem, but just to be safe you should probably include his middle name! And I guess someone should ask if they don’t accept Amazon packages or what the problem is?
I’m having the same problem with my delivery ): It was supposed to be delivered yesterday and now they’re telling me I should pick it up. I wonder if MDC is rejecting amazon deliveries specifically or we’re unable to send him books from any sources
"At all Bureau institutions, an inmate may receive hardcover publications and newspapers only from the publisher, from a book club, or from a bookstore...At medium security, high security, and administrative institutions, an inmate may receive softcover publications (for example, paperback books, newspaper clippings, magazines, and other similar items) only from the publisher, from a book club, or from a bookstore."
Unless they don't consider Amazon to qualify as a bookstore?
since he reached MDC i have been questioning if amazon packages would be accepted as it does not directly say that on the MDC website. if possible i think someone should call and check
I looked this up already, they said they will accept books shipped straight from the publisher. I would think Amazon is OK, but not certain if they are a publisher. EDIT: It also says they accept from a bookstore. Amazon should be fine.

Honestly I believe they are getting bombarded with mail for him. I read that this prison is also terribly understaffed. He's also in solitary so his access to mailed items and correspondence may be restricted right now. Especially pre-trial.
