Press Release Body = Montreal, QC - June 26 , 2007 - Ship2Save announced today that

"With this deployment, we have streamlined our aptitude to increase our supply chain
visibility," said K.C Pelle, Executive Vice-President at Megatrux, Inc. "Our RFID
services allow us to display more informative and more accurate information to our
customers in real time. It serves as an important tool in delivering key performance
indicators [KPI] that enable us to proactively improve day-to-day operations and
provide superior end-to-end logistical services. Moving forward, we continue to
evaluate new areas of implementation for this technology such as RTLS (Real Time
Location Systems) and we anticipate extending our RFID system from our warehousing

services to their customers, achieve process improvement and data precision in their
daily operations, as well as extend their service portfolio with worldwide tracking
and asset control features," added Sam Falsafi, Ship2Save's Director of Business

our application in the 3PL environment."
