SAN DIEGO, CA, September 24, 2000 - E-Commerce Logistics (ecL), Asia Pacific's leading edge e-fulfillment solutions company today announced the launch of the ecL Online Shopping Guide. This unique catalog, which targets affluent shoppers in Greater China, will focus on promoting major U.S. e-retailers during the new millennium's premiere holiday shopping season.

Online and multi-channel retailers will have an opportunity to promote their web site and qualify for a free page in this special catalog by visiting the ecL booth (#109-111) at NFR.com 2000, San Diego Convention Center, September 24-26, 2000.

"With ecL's state-of-the-art warehouse and fulfillment infrastructure, we can ensure that e-retailers capture new business opportunities around Greater China in a cost-efficient and timely manner," said Simon Hsu, ecL founder and chief executive officer. "Proximity to the customers and expertise in end-to-end fulfillment and logistics management enables ecL to offer this program as a value-added bonus to U.S. e-retailers looking to expand their product offerings to Asia Pacific."

As demands for innovative U.S. merchandise in the Greater China region grow, this catalog will serve two key purposes.
