What Stephen Cook said about Hive:

Good product, mediocre delivery service

Correct product, delivered promptly in good condition. Would have been 5 stars if the Royal Mail postie had summoned up the effort to ring the doorbell, rather than leaving the parcel on the doorstep...

Exceptional alternative to amazon!

Hive is excellent and I highly recommend them in every way, but especially as a an alternative to big-tech compromised services like amazon, that are ripping off creators and the consumer.
