GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION
MainStreet has acquired and is in the process re-opening a Distribution Centre in
the Peoples Republic of China in the province of Ningbo, South of the city of Shanghai.
General goods, with the exception of strategic organic and other sustainability
products, have been sourced directly from the manufacturers throughout China from
“sample warehouses” situated locally and managed by our re-engaged English speaking
and Australian educated Distribution & Control Manager. This facility will supply
either directly to the End-User making purchases world-wide over the Internet, or
by supplying smaller warehouse facilities we are opening on a country-by-country
basis, starting in Brisbane, Australia in the third quarter 2009.
MainStreet Malls and MainStreet Markets are being expanded throughout 2009 to operate
globally with all retail products being sold over the MainStreet Malls e-commerce
platform and other “end of run” or distressed products sold on the MainStreet Markets,
including members goods for resale.
The importance of this Distribution facility in China should not be played down
in that MainStreet does not rely upon wholesalers, Chinese speaking Western agents
or middlemen for the export of goods from China where they are manufactured, thus
maximising profits and ability to provide “real value” and “real cash rewards and
discounts” which is an ongoing attraction for our MainStreetMoney (MSM) Cardholde rs
to own and maintain their cards and accounts. As our Distribution facility provides
a complete sourcing, warehousing and export solution to our global online e-commerce
business, MainStreet is able to handle all physical orders, tracking from dispatch
to the Cardholders delivery address, be it that the Cardholder, is either a buyer
on the MainStreet Malls or Markets, or a Seller on the MainStreet Market.
Ningbo, is a strategically positioned province on one of the largest export ports
in China. Surrounded by global couriers and air freight specialists such as DHL.
MainStreet is able to deliver any parcel regardless of how small to any part of
the globe, from the biggest factory in the world – CHINA.
