“Your name is Coastal Business Supplies, but you’re located in Missouri?!”
I know, I know. We hear it all the time. We’re called “Coastal” so of course a lot of folks think “Oh, they’re on the coast.” I wish we were on the coast somewhere soaking up the sun, but we’re not. We’re nestled here in the fabulous town of St. Louis, MO – right smack dab in the middle of the country, which is great for transit times.
So, why are we called “Coastal?” Our company started in the Spring of 1990 as a “distribution company” and we shipped from coast to coast – in 1990 that was a huge deal, ‘ya know? Not a lot of companies shipped coast to coast, but we did and so we became Coastal.
Now we ship coast to coast and around the world, and we still manage to ship all in-stock orders placed by 7pm the same day. Yep, 7pm is our cut off time, now that is pretty cool!
