Dear all,

Supporting independent bookshops is at the heart of our business and many are currently taking orders via phone, email, and social media for home delivery. You can find lots of contact information for your local indie bookshop using our Bookshop Finder.

To further assist bookshops in navigating these unprecedented times, we're doubling the amount of commission paid on book orders.

This increase applies to all book items purchased with home delivery, effective from 1st March until further notice. A minimum of 10% of the net order value will be paid.

We also want to offer reassurance that we are taking all necessary steps within our team, delivery partners, and suppliers to follow Government guidelines. The safety, health, and wellbeing of our customers and team is our absolute priority at this time.

The team are here to help answer any questions you may have so please don't hesitate to get in touch, and find out how Hive supports your high street.

Stay safe and well,

The Hive.co.uk Team
