Mrs. Dalloway

MintFirsts Ltd is a company registered in England, with all orders shipped from Greece. We are long-time members of ABA, ILAB and PBFA, fully abide by their codes of practice, and proudly observe the highest professional standards. All items are offered subject to prior sale and remain our property until payment is received in full. Prices are listed in pounds sterling and any information shown in a different currency is for guidance only. All major payment cards are accepted. Customers can also choose to pay by bank transfer in pounds sterling, euros, Hungarian forints, as well as American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and Singapore dollars. Other payment methods may be made available upon special request, typically subject to a small service fee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please get in touch and we will do our best to resolve the issue.

We exclusively use images of the actual books we stock, all watermarked with our logo. The watermark is added digitally and never appears on the actual book. Its purpose is to deter unauthorized use of our images, particularly by resellers who do not own the items they advertise. Book images are intended to be merely indicative of condition, as definitive details are provided in the description. While we cannot guarantee that items will exactly match the images on display, they generally do. Book covers and slipcases are typically scanned, only with minimal cropping applied. Visual features will therefore reflect reality, but some edge details may be trimmed. Inner pages are photographed to illustrate specific aspects, such as an inscription or the edition, with tonal balance adjusted to enhance presentation. If you are unsure about an item, feel free to message us, and we will gladly share a quick photo or video for added reassurance.

To return an item, we must be notified by e‑mail within 14 days of receipt. The goods have to then be posted at the buyer's expense to the return address on the shipping label, so that the package reaches us within 12 working days. A full refund will be issued upon satisfactory inspection of its contents.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to MintFirsts Ltd ABA, ILAB, PBFA, Spata, Greece, +44 (0) 20 8040 2750, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

1. The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
2. The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.

Orders are usually processed within 2 business days. We always ship via recorded delivery (signed-for). Books are bubble-wrapped and placed in a cardboard box or a cushioned envelope to ensure they reach you in the same condition they leave us. If your order exceeds 2kg (4.4lbs) or includes multiple or oversized items, we may contact you regarding a shipping surcharge. This is uncommon, however, as few of our hardbacks weigh more than a 1kg, and even for multiple items the quoted shipping charge is often final.
