Business Editors
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2006-- Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP), MadPackers at the invitation of numerous Fortune 500 Companies has begun presenting its unique college delivery service directly at College Spring Break 2006. MadPackers is an extension of the Luggage Express model, but focuses primarily on college and high school students. Its goal is to become the premier "door to dorm" shipping solution for all students' needs. From sending items to school their first year and home again, to storing their items during winter and summer breaks, to sending their college belongings to study abroad and home again; MadPackers is the first and only full service college centered/student shipping company. "MadPacker t-shirts, shorts, Frisbees, and Koozies have been given out to thousands of college students from over 100 colleges and untabulated high school seniors. In addition, there have been synergistic programs and even I-pod giveaways. SanDisk, National Lampoon and multiple Fortune 500 companies, like Energizer, and Coca Cola are meeting with MadPacker Executives for on-going and future programs," said Chris Wilkie, MadPackers Executive. "By being positioned on the beach for hundreds of thousands of our target market students to learn about us, as we create brand awareness and even conduct feedback and feasibility studies, our shipping service couldn't be any more well received," said Michael Martinez, MadPackers Executive. "Being on the sunny beaches of South Padre, Texas for a week and also penetrating South Florida beaches makes our visually targeted give-away products and image even more well targeted and accepted by the students. Viewing of these promotional items can be seen at www.madpackers.com/springbreak.htm, said Tim Terjesen, MadPackers Executive. "It's rewarding to see the branding and development of the MadPacker's concepts as well as MadPackers electronic presence mature simultaneously for this untapped multi-billion dollar shipping market," concluded Mr. Brian Altomare, MadPackers President.
