DDC invites Chief Postal Inspector of U.S. Postal Inspection Service to JCK

Diamond Dealers Club of New York has invited Guy J. Cottrell, Chief Postal Inspector of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, to visit the JCK Las Vegas Show in Las Vegas on June 5, which is part of its new venture of opening a Concierge Shipping Service in New York. The service is being launched in partnership with Partnering with TransGuardian, a USPS Business Alliance Partner, and a provider of online multi-carrier software that insures USPS, FedEx, and UPS packages for up to $150,000 through Wells Fargo Insurance Services.

"The DDC NY is opening a Concierge Shipping Service on its premises at 580 Fifth Avenue, New York on June 13, right after the JCK Show," said Lou Rohde, Director of Member Services for the DDC. "We'll have the full range of shipping supplies and self-service computers. Insured USPS Express Mail, Priority Mail and Registered Mail packages are a significant member benefit. With USPS pickup and delivery at the Club, we're providing a convenient, safe and economical option - one that saves our members at least 30 percent over the old way of shipping."

"I'm pleased to visit the JCK Show and represent the Postal Service's commitment to providing secure service and support to this industry," said Mr. Cottrell. Mr. Cottrell was named Chief Postal Inspector for the United States Postal Inspection Service in July 2010 and has been serving in overlooking all operations of the Postal Inspection Service, which includes the National Headquarters, 18 divisions, two service centers and a national forensic laboratory. He is also chairman of the Universal Postal Union's (UPU) Postal Security Group - a multi-national association of Postal Administrations with 191 member countries.

"We are great believers in the U.S. Postal Service," said Jim Moseley, President/CEO of TransGuardian. "They are making strides in the areas of security, tracking, technology and pricing that are creating new logistics solutions for the diamond and jewelry industry." Mr. Cottrell will visit the DDC Pavilion, booths 4465-4474.
