John Brown & Sons Antiques Limited

Brown's Antiques continues to grow and thrive because of a strict adherence to certain core values.  

These values include, but are not limited to:

• Representing our goods in the most sincere and honest way possible.  Selling something is not particularly difficult, but earning a customer's loyalty requires consistent and unwavering respect for that customer.  We will never intentionally misrepresent an item.

• Presenting fair offers when individuals offer items to us for sale.  We have found that it genuinely is in our best interest to compensate sellers adequately and justly on all transactions.  Yes, there have been times when we know we could have paid substantially less for an item than we actually did, but more often than not, the goodwill of being forthright has repaid itself several times over in the form of referrals and future dealings.  Too many dealers are short sided and only are looking for the immediate turnover; however, we understand that the strong relationship we form with our community by being an upstanding business is the soundest investment we can make.

We will gladly acknowledge your intent to purchase either from a phone call or an email, we will pull your items from the sales floor and from the website and only ask that your payment arrangements be made as prompt as possible.  We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. We may also be willing to accept a Paypal payment depending on the transaction.  Checks and Money Orders may be made payable to Brown's Antiques.  And of course, CASH is always welcomed.

As our facilities are fairly large, we generally do not charge a storage fee for items that you wish to personally pick up.  For most items, even several months of storage in our warehousing is perfectly acceptable.

We work with several local shippers; also we have had success with UShip.com, a company that syncs shipments with independent shippers.  

For items under 100 lbs. and 5' in length, we prefer to ship via Greyhound Cargo.  They provide reliable transportation of goods at very reasonable rates.  Although, for some areas, you may be required to personally pick up your package at the closest terminal to you (in all major cities).

For smaller items, we generally ship USPS with insurance and delivery confirmation.  We will ask that you cover all expenses for shipping materials, however, we rarely charge a handling fee.

Unless you have a tax exempt status, we must apply 6% sales tax for any orders sold to customers residing in PA, or for any orders that will be picked up here on site.
