FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Who or what or whatsis is a Sippican?

It's the Indian name of the town where the company was founded.

  • I'm not a shut-in like Sippican's webmaster- where can I go to see the furniture?

We're an Internet-based business, so we don't have a showroom.  We try to put as much information at your fingertips as we can, but if you have any questions our website can't answer, or would like us to take additional photos of items, email us at sippicancottage@gmail.com and we'll be glad to accommodate you.

  • Do you have a color selection page?

     Sure. Click right here to go and see it.

  • Is Sippican Cottage Furniture made by starving children in forced labor camps in Myanmar?

No, we can't afford them, so we make it ourselves right here in the United States, in Rumford Falls, Maine

  • Who makes the furniture?

The owner (see About Us), with a little help, mostly from his family.

  • How do you ship?

Unless marked otherwise, all Items are shipped regular FedEx or UPS ground. It takes a week or less to get to most any location in the lower 48 states after they receive the item. 

  • If I order something, how long does it take to get it?

If it's an item "Ready to Ship," we package your order carefully so it arrives in tip-top condition, which requires a few business days. If you order a custom-made item "Made to Order," give us 4 weeks to make your item. Then FedEx or UPS ground takes over, and how far away you are from Rumford Falls, Maine determines shipping time. Regular ground usually takes a week or less to reach most of the lower 48.

  • I have an antique/furniture/gift/sandwich/stormdoor/fill dirt/gifts/hosiery/oil burner parts store of my own, and I'd like to sell Sippican Cottage Furniture. Who do I have to kill?

Just e-mail us at info@ sippicancottage.com

  • Are the finishes safe for children?

Well, yes.  But that's a funny question. They're safe for everybody. We can't blame you for asking; who knows what you get from imported things these days. Buy American.

  • Do you offer a guarantee?

Sure. We're proud of the furniture and confident it's made sturdily, or we wouldn't let it out the door. We guarantee the stuff against defects in material and workmanship for one year after you receive it.  And we insure all our shipments for their full value.
