## What is Flikshop?

Flikshop is the easiest way to send real photo postcards to anyone in jail or prison. Built by Marcus Bullock, a returning citizen who served 8 years and knows what these photos mean.

Snap a photo. Add a message. We print and mail it. Delivered in 5-7 days from $1.29.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE FLIKSHOP

• Real photos, not pixelated email scans. Your loved one tapes them to the wall.
• Approved by 30+ state DOC mail systems including Utah, Texas, California, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Michigan, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
• Postcards from $1.29. Photo books and letters available.
• 4.8 stars from 951 families on iOS.
• Built by people who lived this story. Marcus served 8 years. His mom Sylvia kept his photos taped to her wall the whole time. That's why we built Flikshop.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose a photo from your phone.
2. Add a personal message.
3. We print on real cardstock and mail to the facility.
4. Your loved one holds it within a week.

FOR FAMILIES, BY FAMILY

Flikshop exists because we know what it feels like to count days, to write letters that take weeks, to send photos that get rejected at the mailroom. We've spent 13 years getting approved at facility after facility so your card actually arrives.

When your mom, your partner, your son, your father is far away, a photo on the wall is the difference between a hard week and a brutal one. We don't take that lightly.

QUESTIONS? CHANGES? PROBLEMS?

Email info@flikshop.com - we respond within 24 hours. If something doesn't arrive, we re-send it free.

Download Flikshop and send your first photo today.

### 5/5 — Best Company ever

*2026-07-20*

I was having difficulty manually entering this ridiculously long address for my loved one, and the owner of this company was kind enough to work with me and with her production person to fix it. God bless this company! I love these postcards!

### 5/5 — Use this app to help everybody you love

*2026-05-03*

I started using this app because I loved a few folks who were incarcerated and then as the time went on and they opened up access, I was able to use it to send communication to anybody that I want, including my daughter who is on a mission and all the people that I love that I just don't get to connect with enough. It's such a wonderful way to have access. You have access to your people for low cost and to send them beautiful photographs and messages and it just makes all the difference in the world. Thank you so much for creating this beautiful thing for everybody

### 3/5 — Mission Unaccomplished

*2026-03-29*

Let me just say that the quality of work is top tier! This is why I gave 3stars! Customer service is non existent and for this to be a business who’s stepping in as the middle man so we can reach the inmates there should be no reason a package sent from this business is confiscated because they made the return address my home address. This gives the prison the idea that I sent mail from home when I purchased, uploaded my photos and everything on this app. I am disgusted that I received a book back to my home address in April 2026 that was purchased and shipped incorrectly from Flikshop December 2025. Yes! The emailed customer service about it snd no reply still to this date. They need to do better for the price we pay in credits because you can’t direct pay and the credits are in inconvenient increments.

**Developer response:** Hi, this is Marcus, founder of Flikshop. You're right and I'm sorry. We ship each order with your Return Address because that is what most facilities require. Please email info@flikshop.com with your order number and a reference to this review. We will look into your December order, get you all of your Flikshop Credits back, and ask you to try again. This time, please add Flikshop HQ's address as the Return Address and you'll be good to go. Thank you for telling us about this issue! I really want to ensure that you have a great Flikshop'ing experience.

### 5/5 — Thank you Flikshop

*2026-03-05, version 6.3.36*

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-03-02, version 6.3.36*

App was made by a high school student?

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2025-09-23, version 6.3.29*

I wouldn’t recommend this app i paid to have my pictures sent and he still haven’t got them. They saying they can’t find my account I’m just so through with this app. Save your money and your time download another app

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-03-05, version 6.3.27*

This app really helps lift up sprites while your loved one is locked up

### 1/5 — Not great.

*2025-01-16, version 6.3.26*

Every single time I use this app there seems to be an issue. I made a purchase of 10 photos to be sent to my fiancé, they never arrived when he was in there. I tried reaching out about a refund, and I never got it. THEN I just purchased 20 Flikshop credits and it charged me 6 TIMES. That’s $173.99 total. THEN the credits never showed up in my account. I’m honestly sick of this app. I got one postcard through, but the other 10 photos, VOID! the $173.99 that it charged me for nothing? VOID!

### 5/5 — Flikshop

*2024-12-12, version 6.3.25*

The site is very easy to use, and convenient when I don’t want to write a full letter.

### 2/5 — Flikshop

*2024-09-21, version 6.3.24*

Unfortunately I can't get it to work..it won't let me do anything.
