========================
Members,
We've just identified the perfect play to capitalize on the upcoming "Santa Claus Rally".
Please turn your immediate attention to PUDO Inc. (PDPTF).
PUDO is North America's only carrier neutral parcel pick-up and drop-off Network
The Company is developing North America's only carrier-neutral parcel pick-up/drop-off technology and logistics Network, as a means of solving the last-mile parcel-traffic-control gridlock that is crippling the $550B e-commerce sector.
PDPTF is filling a void in a booming consumer economy.
Billions of e-commerce parcels worth $2.3T annually, traverse the planet efficiently and economically — until, they hit the last-mile that consumes 53% of costs to ship, and exposes $722B losses.
PDPTF has quietly conceived and built North America’s only scalable, bidirectional, carrier neutral, new logistics network to resolve the last mile gridlock that is crippling e-commerce giants. And the giants are joining.
Networking just 1% of North America’s $473B e-commerce market, estimated at roughly 7B parcels annually could realize PUDO +$400M in potential gross revenues. As gridlock grows, so too grows PUDO potential.
We are anticipating a big move for this low float alert w/ growing revenues on Monday.
Here's why...
The Company recently announced that it has accelerated its relationship with logistics API giant ShipEngine ("ShipEngine"), a division of Stamps.com, to optimize return shipping for Give Back Box ("GBB") and its recently announced collaboration with LEGO® Replay.
Stamps.com and LEGO are both major players in their respective sectors, and the simple fact that they are both entrusting PDPTF to optimize their logistics woes should be a greenlight for any potential investor.
About PUDO
PUDO Inc. is developing North America's only carrier-neutral parcel pick-up/drop-off technology and logistics Network, as a means of solving the last-mile parcel-traffic-control gridlock that is crippling the $550B e-commerce sector. E-commerce is faced with unprecedented cost control issues, based on disproportionately high last-mile delivery costs relating to undeliverable parcels, and parcels returning for refund or exchange. As labour and fuel costs increase in tandem with parcel traffic and volume , the problem worsens.
PUDO's team of logistics and parcel traffic management experts have created a market intelligence and trends driven solution comprising carrier-neutral plug-and-play technology for desktop and mobile, plus a strategically located Network of parcel pick-up and drop-off PUDOpoints for pay-as-you-go use by all players within the e-commerce ecosystem.
Adopting PUDO technology shortens the last mile for the behemoths of e-commerce — fulfillment and distribution centers representing thousands of retailers and millions of consumers — by instantly extending their parcel staging and consolidation Network and providing secure 'near end of the line' storage for the 30% of e-commerce parcels that are undeliverable on first attempt. PUDO's technology and Network virtually eliminate costs associated with second-attempt deliveries, un-attended parcel theft and spoilage, and mismanaged reverse logistics on returns, and provides carriers, retailers, and consumers with badly needed cost controls, choice, and convenience.
PUDO was founded in 2015 and was recently named one of the Top 20 most innovative public technology companies by the Canadian Innovation Exchange. After two years of industry and market research, and successful beta testing the technology and PUDOpoint geography and protocols with major logistics stakeholders, PUDO is ready to activate its Network through strategic partnerships. Activation will enable all stakeholders within the Network to access and control scalable, fluid, strategic consolidation in real time when and where needed, to lower costs and satisfy customer expectations.

Company Highlights
PUDO is dual listed on both the U.S. and Canadian stock exchanges. U.S. OCTQB: PDPTF and Canada CSE: PDO
PUDO is a generic term, already entrenched in Europe, comprising tens of thousands of locations and millions of consumer, retailer, fulfillment and courier members across 13 countries.
In Europe 34% of online orders are consumer-directed to pick-up/return points. This ‘click & collect’ option is ubiquitous in online checkouts.*
In North America currently, counter networks are courier-owned closed systems, preventing them from connecting innovative solutions and transportation partners like those proven in Europe.
The PUDO Network provides an open, carrier-neutral ecosystem; a virtual consolidation of logistics within and to/from North America. As first-mover, PUDO is already disrupting the e-commerce and traditional delivery/return ecosystems. Proven in Canada; ready to expand to the US; ready to provide seamless, scalable Network connectivity with e-commerce in Europe and overseas.
Critically, PUDO can expedite and reduce the costs of international deliveries and returns: 57% of online shoppers surveyed in 24 countries, had shopped from an overseas website in the last six months.†
PUDO is already partnered with and expanding services for Global leaders in;
Cross-border logistics and freight forwarding
E-commerce fulfillment
Returns management
Direct-to-consumer signature-required and perishable goods distribution
Online Retail’s Ticking Time Bomb
For e-commerce, the ticking time bomb is ‘last-mile gridlock’ — the much publicized inability of online retailers and logistics to put parcels into the hands of consignees and/or manage parcel returns costeffectively and efficiently inthatshort but perilously complex ‘last mile’ between local warehouses and/or fulfillment centres and consignee addresses. Already, last-mile costs consume 53% of total costs to ship; escalating exponentially on explosive growth. The three primary causes and complexities of last-mile gridlock are:
NOBODY HOME - to receive parcels (35% of the time, $166B exposure)
RETURNS - 3X higher for online purchases than in-store ($550B by 2020); friction triggers unsellable overstock, brand degradation, insidious losses
UNATTENDED PARCEL THEFT - ($5.6B annually affecting 20% of consumers)
PDPTF Provides One Ultimate Networked Solution
PUDO’s solution reduces friction, increases margins and direct-to-consumer online sales

PDPTF Sees Major Increase In Revenue In Q2
Quarter Highlights
Revenue up 28.9% to $229,971 this quarter compared to the second quarter of FY 2019
Q2 FY 2020 overall parcel volume increased 28.8% over the same quarter in the prior year
Second quarter net loss decreased $860,320 to $582,969 relative to the second quarter of FY 2019, primarily due to an adjustment to non-cash stock compensation expense in the corresponding quarter of the prior year
During Q2 of Fiscal Year 2020, PUDO continued to show revenue growth associated with ongoing demand for partner services which continues to reinforce the potential of the Company's vision and corporate priorities. In this quarter, overall revenue was up 28.9% compared to the same quarter in the previous year. Strong growth in partner shipments was tempered by continued softness in member shipments sent to the Company's associated US border points. This weakness is in the context of overall reduced demand for cross border shopping influenced by factors that include the lower value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.
During this quarter, the Company continued to build revenue and parcel volume through the expansion of services to Canadian partners. In Q2, the Company's discussions with a number of partners advanced to begin outlining service agreements and integration planning. Some of these opportunities are currently in the pilot testing phase, and successful testing, would see expansion through PUDO's Network in 2020.
As e-commerce continues to gain traction, large shippers and marketplaces are seeking out PUDO directly to help reduce friction in the fulfillment of orders to consumers as well as harnessing the potential of the Network when consumers/shippers need to drop parcels off at a convenient counter location.
The Company continues to work with its investment bankers who are leveraging these new opportunities in discussions with parties who are interested in funding the Company's growth through contributions towards Network expansion as well as technology to enable new value-based fulfilment and returns solutions.
Outlook
As we enter the holiday season, we are working with existing and potential new partners to maximize parcel delivery and returns logistics through all levels of the ecosystem, to refine and integrate IT, and anticipate congestion. Together with our current and potential partners, we are reaching targets and satisfying requirements, and this bodes well for the future, and for expansion.
The Company remains focused on attracting new opportunities with other significant logistics 3PL partners capable of supporting accelerated Network expansion on significant volumes and across multiple revenue streams.
Recent Developments
PUDO shifts into high gear in time for holiday re-gifting; incorporating ShipEngine efficiencies into Give Back Box partnership with LEGO Replay
Last Wednesday the Company announced that it has accelerated its relationship with logistics API giant ShipEngine ("ShipEngine"), a division of Stamps.com, to optimize return shipping for Give Back Box ("GBB") and its recently announced collaboration with LEGO® Replay.
"We are leveraging efficiencies at all levels within our logistics ecosystem in the United States , to help our customer Give Back Box, return previously used merchandise to regional sorting warehouses and re-distribution centers throughout the country," says PUDO founder Frank Coccia . "The ShipEngine API is masterful at identifying the most affordable, most efficient way to move e-commerce parcels from point A to point B in North America , and we have informed confidence in their ability to add value to our established relationship with Give Back Box."
"We will utilize our Network of carrier-neutral PUDOpoints located very near to where people live, work, and play, as consolidation points along the way as needed, to best advantage. We plan to hit the ground running next week, as people move into the holiday spirit thinking about gifting and re-gifting. This is more than a feel good story for us, this is something that e-commerce logistics can do on a very large scale, to take advantage of bulk logistics in motion and give back to the community."
Last month, Give Back Box announced their role in the LEGO Replay pilot project aimed at returning any and all previously used LEGO bricks for donation to children's non-profits in the United States . GBB founder Monika Wiela started the company to facilitate 'return logistics donation' of millions of tons of unused clothing, footwear and other textiles to community non-profits, in an effort to divert the items from landfills and to ensure the recycling of shipping packaging.
PUDO has been working with Give Back Box to streamline their return logistics Network — a vast and dynamic web of parcels of indeterminate size and weight, which changes daily in response to consumer behaviours like online and in-store shopping, and associated participation in various environmental responsibility and social justice programs offered by participating retail and brand partners. More than 50 e-commerce and retail giants are listed as 'give back' partners on the GBB website, and, with the exception of Overstock.com ( Canada ) and Amazon, nearly all of the partners sell clothing and/or footwear almost exclusively.
The opportunity to include heirloom-status toys like LEGO bricks to GBB's program demonstrates the company's capacity for reducing, re-using and recycling a vast range of consumer products. "We have created a quick click and return page on our corporate website, making donation and delivery of LEGO bricks quick and easy for consumers," says Wiela. "Just click the link, fill in a few blanks, and print out a pre-paid mailing label. PUDO and ShipEngine intelligence will be working in the background to ensure that gently used merchandise finds its way via the shortest, most efficient way possible, to partner-specific regional warehouses for sorting, cleaning, and re-distribution to participating non-profits."
"Leave it to a company like LEGO to design and build an innovative program like this that encourages consumers to pass their products along to families rather than focus solely on selling more new product, concludes Coccia. "We are very proud to play our part, no pun intended."
ShipEngine welcomes the opportunity to use its vast experience in e-commerce and logistics to help provide millions of iconic toys to deserving girls and boys. "Working with PUDO on a project that does so much for both kids — and the environment — has been a project that the whole ShipEngine team has rallied around," says Josh Burdick , Account Executive at ShipEngine. "We've always used the term 'logistics-obsessed problem solvers' to describe ourselves, and this is a fantastic problem to help solve."
All Americans are invited to visit givebackbox.com to donate their pre-played LEGO bricks for Replay by downloading and printing a pre-paid shipping label.
Market Outlook:
2018 was the 9th consecutive year of double-digit e-commerce growth: gaining 18% globally, 15% in US
$473B North American e-commerce market/7B parcels annually, representing a potential revenue opportunity in excess of +$400M annually (1% of parcels)
In 2018, holiday season retail e-commerce revenues amounted to 119.54 billion U.S. dollars. E-commerce holiday season sales in 2019 are projected to reach 135.35 billion U.S. dollars.
With urban freight delivery growth expected to expand 40% by 2050, municipal and business leaders must collaborate to develop smart logistics infrastructure and ensure congestion does not get out of hand.
Complications related to returns are one of three major crisis contributing to crippling last-mile e-commerce gridlock.
Did you know that more than 30% of goods purchased online are returned?
As e-commerce grows by double-digits annually and North American returns are expected to top $500B by 2020 (even with inevitable and necessary retail-side restrictions), it is worth noting the evolution of PUDO’s coast-to-coast network of carrier-neutral parcel pick-up and hassle-free return locations situated close to where people live, work, play, study, even vacation.
