of customer audiences.
Under the agreement, GlobalShop (www.GlobalShop.net) provides
Russian Standard Bank customers with the easiest and most secure
way to shop from the U.S., by merging the convenience of comparison
shopping through a searchable online shopping portal with a virtual
U.S. address which they use to receive their online purchases.
GlobalShop will allow Russian Standard Bank customers the
opportunity to shop at more than 1.7 million leading American
retail stores, catalogs and websites from the comfort of their own
home. GlobalShop bridges the gap between the online international
shopper and U.S.-based Internet merchants from the time of purchase
through final international delivery to the customer's home or
office.

up-to-the-minute sales and promotions in the U.S., low shipping
rates to Russia, guaranteed package delivery and full support for
Russian Standard Bank customers. As part of the service, GlobalShop

total cost of a product including Customs' charges and makes
returning purchases trouble-free.
GlobalShop will offer the services to all Russian Standard Bank
customers, a SkyShop Logistics owned, custom website with
GlobalShop branding, for shopping, using their Amex credit cards to
make purchases on the website.
A.J. Hernandez, SkyShop's COO, commented, "Russian shoppers want
to shop in the USA without leaving home. SkyShop will be the first
to offer this facility in Russia. We are looking forward to working
with Russian Standard Bank to launch GlobalShop in this very large
