SmartMail Services Opens Miami SmartCenter

Atlanta - May 20, 2002 - SmartMail, LLC, a leading provider of flat mail and light parcel shipping services, is using its work-share partnership with the U.S. Postal Service to expand its national presence, giving Florida businesses up to 17 percent discounts off of First Class postal rates and up to 5 percent discounts off of Priority rates. The company announced today the opening of its Miami SmartCenter, a 15,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art mail processing center, in Miramar.

The SmartCenter, a technology-driven sorting facility, is capable of processing 120,000 pieces of flat mail per day. The facility uses its proprietary SmartTrack™ system to individually scan, weigh and track each piece of mail processed at the facility, resulting in expedited deliveries and cost savings for customers.

The new SmartCenter is strategically located between the Ft. Lauderdale and Miami airports and was chosen for its proximity to the core of SmartMail's Florida customer base. This expansion will also extend the Delivery Network for existing SmartMail customers, enhancing the advantages received today. "Miami is the gateway to Latin America and is home to major pharmaceutical, tourism and product distribution centers. This SmartCenter opening is an important milestone in our national strategy to offer businesses 'Perfect Mail' delivery solutions that are cost-effective and customized at the same time," said Jim Martell, CEO of SmartMail.

How SmartMail Works
SmartMail Services has a Workshare Partnership with the USPS to deliver flat sized mail and lightweight parcels weighing approximately 3 oz up to 5 pounds. Commonly shipped items include products like compact discs and paperback books as well as traditional paper items like enrollment kits and proxies.

SmartMail will pick up a business customers' mail, individually process the pieces at the local SmartCenter and route them to a specified Postal Service destination facility for distribution within the designated locale. By using its expedited services network, SmartMail is able to maximize delivery at a cost savings, while adding previously unavailable benefits including address verification, manifesting and tracking.

SmartMail's growth has exceeded 70% per year, further demonstrating the company's ability to provide exciting delivery solutions across the nation. SmartMail is a privately held company based in Atlanta that currently operates 12 SmartCenters - highly automated mail processing and distribution centers - throughout the U.S. (Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Seattle).
