USED CARDBOARD BOX COMPANY ADDS 2 DISTRIBUTION CENTERS, READY TO SHIP NATIONWIDE THIS SUMMER


SANTA MONICA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 22, 2007 -- Eco-friendly cardboard box provider Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc. today announced that the company has opened two distribution centers in Iowa and Utah, now enabling it to service 40 of the 48 continental states with guaranteed 2 business day delivery. The announcement was made by Marty Metro, Founder & CEO of the company.

Celebrated by consumers, businesses and environmentalists alike, UsedCardboardBoxes.com has taken the country by storm since it opened its doors last year. The company provides quality used boxes as an earth-friendly and low-cost alternative for anyone in need of boxes. Whether for moving, shipping, packing or storing, Used Cardboard Boxes delivers environmentally friendly boxes directly to anyone's doorstep, guarantees the lowest prices, and offers 1-2 day shipping for free. The addition of the Iowa and Utah locations is a major step in the company's plan to offer service to every residential address in the US by this summer.

"Our customers come from every walk of life," says Metro. "What they all have in common is their appreciation for a quick, simple, hassle-free and inexpensive solution to moving, shipping, packing or storing... all with a minimal impact on the environment."

Metro, a former .com executive, founded the company in 2002 and spent four frustrating years trying to bring his "eco-friendly moving" vision to reality. In 2006, Metro got his big break when his startup was accepted to the Acceleration program of Santa Monica-based venture capital firm Funk Ventures. Today, Used Cardboard Boxes combines advanced web technologies with traditional logistics, warehousing and top notch customer service to match supply and demand of millions of quality used boxes, as well as brand new boxes that were simply misprinted, overrun, or no longer needed.

"With Used Card Boxes, it's no longer necessary to cut down trees to make a used cardboard box," Metro boasts.
