Press Release: Universal Express, Inc.
August 16, 2002
NEW YORK, NY -- Universal Express, Inc. (OTC BB:USXP) yesterday announced that its subsidiary, The Virtual Bellhop,
has signed a Partnership Agreement with Andrew Harper's Q Club, an organization which offers Hotel reservations
and other top level travel concierge related services to an exclusive group of executive travelers.
Andrew Harper's HIDEAWAY REPORT, a newsletter sent to its membership, offers unique travel information concerning
locations, events and activities. The HIDEAWAY REPORT is " A connoisseur's worldwide guide to peaceful and
unspoiled places". The report is now in its 24th year of recommending premier Hotels and Resorts to a very
sophisticated membership. The Q Club is constantly looking for superior properties and services for its members
who demand luxury Hotels and Resorts, top level service and follow through.
Andrew Harper also publishes a quarterly Q Club Directory, which lists the carefully chosen Hotels and Resorts

a truly First Class experience, Andrew Harper's Q Club is your solution.
Virtual Bellhop is a door to door baggage transportation service. The Virtual Bellhop Service will arrange to pick
up a client's baggage, golf clubs, skis, business materials and virtually anything else that can be checked onto
a flight. Pick up occurs at a client's home, business address or other designated location. It is then transported
via air to the client's destination city, where it is removed from the air freight system and ground delivered
to the clients final destination. The client does not have to package their baggage, weigh it, or fill out complicated
freight bills. The Virtual Bellhop manages all of the necessary procedures to make each trip easier, less stressful,
and less time consuming, since all Virtual Bellhop clients can leave for the airport with just a carry-on. Upon
arrival at the airport, they can go through personal security, go to their gate, board their flight and at their
destination, deplane, bypass the baggage carousel, and all potential problems that entails, get to their ground
transportation to their final destination where all of their items are already waiting for them.
The system works just as effectively for round trip service which can be set up during the initial contact, allowing
Virtual Bellhop clients to simply leave their bags at their hotel, resort or other location, so that their flight
home or to another destination is baggage free as well. The Virtual Bellhop will come in, pick up their items,
and transfer them home or to another designated location. Truly, this is the 21st Century way to travel.
Andrew Harper's Q Club's choice of The Virtual Bellhop as a partner is a significant compliment to the timeliness
of the process and the consistent quality of service The Virtual Bellhop provides.
