Press Release Summary = Global Sources Direct adds new product categories to give its customers more options


Press Release Body = Global Sources Direct (http://www.globalsourcesdirect.com) now
offers small buyers more choices to order wholesale lots online, direct from China,
at low China prices. As a result of customer feedback, two new categories have
joined its product lineup: "Novelties" and "Printer Consumables." In addition, a
separate section offering products at substantially discounted prices has also been
added.

Global Sources Direct, provides China factory prices for less-than-container load
orders to business-to-business wholesale and re-seller customers. Orders can be as
small as a single packing case.

The service offers hundreds of products in categories ranging from fashion
accessories to MP3 players to computer products. Over the past year, it has
experienced rapid growth, with new product categories being regularly added to its
online store. The recently added categories of Novelties

and Printer Consumables
(http://www.globalsourcesdirect.com/servlet/the-Computer-Products-cln-Printer-Consumables/Categories)
feature such products as ballpoint pens, flashing tops and ink cartridges.

Global Sources Direct has been described as a retail website with a difference.
Focusing on the smaller importer, wholesaler or re-seller -- who doesn't want to
handle the complexities of importing -- it offers smaller volumes (from as little as
a single export case) at China-direct pricing, with online ordering and payment,
delivered door to door in under 14 days. Each week, a number of products are
offered at special promotional prices -- allowing customers to save up to 50% or
more on their purchases. Among the current promotions are USB drives, iPod®
cases and video binoculars.

In addition, before they order, customers can see product specifications, type of
packaging the product is in, what product certifications are available for the
particular product and other important information especially useful to those with
limited experience in sourcing and importing directly from China.

Global Sources Direct's wide range of product offerings includes iPod®
Accessories, Electronics, Mobile Phone Accessories, and Gifts and Home Products and
more. The company is continuously monitoring customer feedback in anticipation of
adding more categories in the near future.
