NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2003--Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP) has purchased Sub-Contracting Concepts (SCI), headquartered in Glens Falls, N.Y.

SCI is a profitable contract-management-services company, providing risk management and administrative services to over 200 regional couriers companies. SCI`s network includes over 5,500 independent courier drivers in 35 states. In 2003, SCI anticipates $168 million of gross revenue and $650,000 of net income.

Richard Altomare, President and CEO, stated, "The acquisition of SCI will strengthen our delivery-distribution system, expand our WorldPost(TM) membership, and provide us a platform to increase revenue. One of the keys to our Luggage Express business is providing pick-up and delivery facilities throughout the U.S. This acquisition offers WorldPost Network immediate access to SCI`s existing client base, which strengthens this vital network. Moreover, this transaction provides additional products and services for us to sell to our WorldPost members. Importantly, SCI`s management shares our long-term vision for outsourced shipping, including moving luggage more efficiently and affordably world-wide."

Bob Lefebvre, President of SCI, stated, "This acquisition offers enormous opportunities for our courier-company clients to participate in new sales lines through the growth of the Luggage Express business, as well as the corresponding package delivery functions that are now available through WorldPost Private Postal Network. We are also excited to offer Universal Express` leasing and credit card programs to our drivers. The fact that Universal Express is dedicated to an outsourced distribution system complements our client base very well. We see this as a win-win situation for everyone involved." Mr. Lefebvre will continue as President of SCI.

Universal Express, Inc. owns and operates several subsidiaries including Universal Express Capital Corp. (USXP Cash Express division), Universal Express Logistics, Inc.
