Mission Statement:
 
Best Mailing Service is committed to offering our clients the highest quality direct mail and printing services obtainable. Our corporate philosophy is to develop long term relationships with our clients and provide unparalleled customer service. Our employees and management team will constantly strive to achieve these goals.

Corporate Overview:

Best Mailing Service, Inc. (Best Mailing) opened for business in August of 1973. Initially, the company focused on advertising mail. Over the years, Best Mailing has grown to handle a wide variety of services. Today, Best Mailing is a full service direct mail marketing firm. Our services range from inkjet addressing and catalog fulfillment, to first class mail presorting.

In 1990, Best Computer Service, Inc. (Best Computer) opened to handle the ever increasing need for data processing services in the direct mail industry. Best Computer has expanded its services over the past 15 years to include high speed laser printing, statement and invoice generation, and database manipulation services. Today, Best Computer prints more than 1,500,000 statements and invoices per month.

In 1995, Best Mailing acquired Presort Express, of Roanoke, Virginia, to complete the diversity of its services. The business of Presort Express, now the Roanoke Division of Best Mailing, offers daily mail pick up and first class presort services to the Roanoke Valley and beyond. Our Roanoke Division has evolved into a full service presort facility that is providing the same high quality service for which Lynchburg’s Best Mailing is known. Today, our Roanoke Division has more than tripled its initial volume as well as its production floor capacity.

Over the years, Best Mailing has grown from a two-person operation, housed in a garage, to an organization with more than 65 employees in two production facilities totaling more than 95,000 square feet. Best Mailing strives to offer its customers the highest quality service available at a reasonable cost. This combination is achieved by continuously investing in employees, equipment, and facilities to stay on the cutting edge of the direct mail industry.
