MEDIA ADVISORY - Want to Ship or Receive Parcels in July? You Can!

TORONTO, July 6, 2016 /CNW/ -
WHO:
Frank Coccia, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Toronto-based PUDO, Inc - a veteran of the shipping industry in Canada for
three decades, Coccia can speak to "news you can use" topics for Canadians regarding shipping alternatives during the Canada Post
disruption. Frank can also speak to the broader topic such as the way that the shipping climate and options have changed since the
2011 lockout due to the growth of e-commerce and consumers changing delivery preferences.
"Whether we are using the flexibility of the PUDO network to offer parcel delivery options to retailers and e-commerce
companies during the predicted Canada Post lockout, or doing business as usual, the routing of parcels to and from PUDOpoints
offers a new level of convenience to both retailers and consumers," stated Frank Coccia, Founder and
Chief Executive Officer, PUDO, Inc. "PUDO is transforming the shipping and delivery business model."
WHEN:
Frank Coccia is available for ongoing media comment.
WHAT:
To accommodate the pending postal disruption, more than 8,000 parcels a day are already being routed by Canpar Courier to
special PUDOpoint™ locations throughout Canada. The packages are being shipped to/from leading retailers and
e-commerce companies in Canada so as not to disrupt consumer commerce.
PUDO, Inc. is North America's first parcel Pick-Up/Drop-Off network. With PUDO's PUDOpoint network, retailers and
e-tailers can deliver their parcels to staffed commercial locations, "PUDOpoints," with extended service hours. These
locations are already professional staffed, and already open for extended hours throughout the week and weekend.
Currently there are over 800 open PUDOpoint locations throughout Canada. Approximately 1,500 additional locations
have been registered and will be rolled out in the near term. The infrastructure for a PUDO network is currently being
established in the United States.
