FLIX-are they genuine?

Post by Mr Magoo »

Recently got a catalogue from this lot. They have the same Dutch P.O. Box number as an outfit called Kristalanee which is listed on the UK Sexual Resources websites list of UK despatchers. They also enclosed a letter claiming to be from "Amsterdam Mailbox Services" which stated that they provide the mailbox numbers for other UK porn companies in Amsterdam for which they charge an insurance premium which they use to compensate customers who get ripped off by any company using one of thier boxes. They also said their recomended company of the month was Flix. Wonder why they didnt recomend any of their other clients and why thier letter came in the same envelope as the Flix catalogue. Postmark was Derby I think. Both companies advertised seperate Amsterdam phone numbers but I didnt try them.

Seems a bit fishy to me. Anyone else know anything about them?

I'd give em a wide berth - they sound well moody! "Insurance premium" and "compensation" my arse. What a load of cobblers!

There is a link to it on the links page of melonfarmers.co.uk but it wasnt working when i tried it a few minutes ago. If it is the list of companys you want then look through the archives at melonfarmers for an article from about a year ago titled something like \"mail order porn-th extent of the market\". Most of the list was reproduced in this article. It listed loads of companies which do Uk despatch. A few of which are listed on this site also. I seem to remember that the Sexual Freedom Coalition also published a smaller list. You will find a link for them at melonfarmers aswell.
Hope this helps.
