Pity: you've just given away £200.
Next time (and if you don't have an Argos) get a cardboard box from the corner shop, knock the bees in, up-end the box onto something that'll keep it off the ground, and cover it to keep the rain off until the hive arrives.
As well as that, buy a
couple of these nuc boxes and DN4 frames & wax to put in them.
Ted Hooper's
Bees & Honey is a very good book but not one for the total novice. Buy the
Haynes Bee Manual, which gives straightforward and well-illustrated beginner advice.
