Why are there change amounts when subscribing such as 11.11 or 25.25
When testing this service out and in the effort to make this service as affordable as possible, we increased our initial estimated price of $10/ month to $11.11/ month. As we had found out from testing the Basic plan of shipping, when there is a heavier set of books, the shipping came out to be $13.84. When adding this to the cost of the bubble wrap envelope we were negative $6.84. Due to this reason, we did increase our subscription price by $0.15-$1.15.
All change added is an effort for our members to be able to recognize their monthly purchase each month by having a repeating number taken out.
What if I can no longer afford my subscription or need to change the type of subscription?
We understand that life is not a straight and narrow path and we might not always be able to afford things as we use to. That is why we have a sponsorship though the church. Members of the Library can select the option to sponser another member that cannot afford their membership by either paying the Full or Partal price. You may apply to be sponcered below. If we do not have a sponcer for you, we will will infrom you that you are on the waiting list. If you wish to cancel/hold or change your subscription you may email mariamorris@omnistministry.org or call 660-270-4321 to discuss your options.
