5 Reasons Why You Should Buy from Cokesbury

April 18, 2018 Leave a Comment

A customer shops at the Cokesbury store in Nashville, Tenn in 2012. A file photo by Mike DuBose, UMNS.

You may still be upset that Cokesbury closed all of their brick-and-mortar stores, but they continue to offer the best online shopping experience for Methodists. Here’s why.

1. Cokesbury is owned by the United Methodist Publishing House.

Not only are you financially supporting your church when you shop at Cokesbury.com, you are also seeing the full selection of official United Methodist Church resources.

2. Excellent prices.

You might think you can get a better deal elsewhere, but that is unlikely. Cokesbury offers up to 30% off the retail price of most of their items, and you can get free shipping on most items if you spend only $35. They are constantly running additional sales on featured items and special opportunities for free shipping on almost everything. Sign up for their newsletter! (Scroll to the bottom of their home page.)

3. One-year return policy.

You have up to 365 days to return most items. That is more than generous. Preaching a sermon series on a book? Buy a bunch of them and return what doesn’t sell.

4. Personal customer service.

We have two dedicated Community Resource Consultants for our area that can help you with anything you may need. Contact the Media Center to get connected with these real live people whose job it is to make you a happy customer.

5. The Media Center gets a 5% rebate!

If you purchase through our Virtual Cokesbury Store, the Media Center will receive a 5% rebate on almost all items that you order. All you have to do is start your shopping at our Virtual Cokesbury Store link. Bookmark it!

I have been buying resources for the Media Center for almost 8 years now, and in seeking to be the best steward of your money, I have compared and contrasted many online retailers. I buy from Cokesbury whenever I can to support our church, to get the best service, and to get the best deal! Join me!
