announced that it will exhibit at COMDEX/Israel '99. The shopss.com booth,

their shopss.com cards and shopps.com coupons.
Visitors to the booth can also register for gold card and regular
shopss.com shopping club memberships, place online orders, participate in
daily auctions and surf the Web.
Also on display, will be a large selection of computers, including the
Apple iMac, and the shopss.com delivery trucks, which allow consumers to place
orders via the Internet for next day, same day, or 'right now' (approximately
15 minutes) delivery. The trucks have an array of products, including health
and beauty items, computer accessories, frozen foods, and even piping hot
pizza pie.
"This is our first COMDEX and we look forward to showcasing shopss.com to
businesses and consumers alike and how we stands apart from our competitors"
said Rami Adler, CEO of shopss.com. "We also believe that business will
realize the advantages of being part of the shopss.com network and accepting
our Gold and regular membership cards."
The shopps.com Gold Card membership, which is now available to Israeli

membership, which costs $299 per year, provides an array of benefits,
including a free 500Mhz Pentium III computer. As part of the contract, Gold
Card members must agree to receive one e-mail per day from shopss.com.
