I think I must be on the wrong board here. Was looking for an IDS investment board, but have stumbled across the Post Office complainst board :)

IDS gained after an upgrade to 'buy' at HSBC.

From an investment perspective, how much will having a 5 (rather than 6) day per week service obligation help IDS? I think they were hoping for a much more radical restructuring of the USO. Still hoping for a bump in the share rice tomorrow though.

The above is in reference to a great drama about a terrible miscarriage of justice but isn't connected to RMG / IDS remember.

The PO is government owned but many do connect it all with Royal Mail and even ParcelForce too. I get why but it's wrong.

Good luck all 👍🏻

IDS/ Royal Mail getting slaughtered in the Sunday Times this morning for non-delivery of mail and concentrating on parcels. An undercover investigation...

The article says IDS is mulling a bid for a Czech business - no sign of a bid for IDS itself

Dec 12 - Shares of Royal Mail parent IDS IDSI.L were set for their biggest
one-day gain in over 3 years on Tuesday after BofA Global Research upgraded the stock to buy
from neutral, citing turnaround progress at Royal Mail (RM) and potential upside to consensus
estimates.
"Recovery at RM is progressing steadily: a union agreement has been implemented and the
company is winning back volume share. We are encouraged by this and see the deal benefits
starting to impact the P&L meaningfully", BofA said. Its new price target of 335 pence implies a
35% upside.

DIRECTORATE CHANGE

International Distributions Services plc (IDS) today announces the appointment of Martin Seidenberg as Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of IDS. Under the revised structure, Martin will lead the IDS Group and set its strategic direction. He will be appointing CEOs for Royal Mail and GLS responsible for operational management of the two subsidiaries in due course.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was the last announcement on the subject. Still waiting for 2 x new CEOs. He is effectively CEO of IDS, Royal Mail and GLS at this time.

Post Office Ltd is no longer part of IDS, it was carved out over a decade ago, as I already stated. HOWEVER, Post Office Ltd is obligated under contract to offer IDS services and ONLY IDS services to the public. At a ridiculously reduced payment rate for parcels acceptance. The subpostmasters are expected, amongst other things, to segregate the mails into 1st and 2nd, tag and seal the bags with the corresponding label, and hand to the collections officer. Some of these mails bags get randomly labelled by the collections officer with a red X label so that IDS can check random samples and 'fine' Post Office Ltd for non-compliance. this is one small, but effective way in which IDS - parcels, especially - robs from the taxpayer-funded Post Office to reduce their own overheads, whilst ensuring they have the monopoly on parcels post mailed by the Great British public.

IDS's 'profitable' parcels business is built on theft from the taxpayer in the form of Post Office subsidies, as well as the work performed by Royal Mail employees in collecting, sorting and shifting a massive tonnage of parcels, disguised as 'mails logistics'. Yes, by all means, let's let Post Office Ltd offer the whole range of courier services available in the free market, and let RM concentrate on letters deliveries, and in return IDS will run its' parcels business on the same terms and under the same rules as every other courier.

Then let's see just how long IDS remains such a miraculous cash cow.

lefrene - That's an interesting outlook on how IDS could make money you've got there. So, if it just got rid of the loss-making bits, everything will be ok ? When IDS was Royal Mail, and Post Office Ltd was part of the group, it was supposedly Post Office Ltd that was the greatest loss-making division. Post Office Ltd was loss-making largely because it contracted with RMG (IDS as it was back then) at ridiculously low rates, to give the impression that RMG 'could be a winning company, if only it got rid of the loss-making Post Offices. So, they carved Post Office Ltd off the group, and it became a burden on the taxpayer so that RMG figures could look healthier pre-privatisation.

Now, you're being told IDS could be a profitable company, if only it could rid itself of the loss-making Royal Mail division. Do you see the pattern here ? IDS, when or if it sheds Royal Mail, will not be the golden goose you seem to think it should be. We're into the second decade now of IDS (RMG, as was) telling the world 'We could be such a great company, if only...'

Terrible management at all levels is endemic in IDS, yet it's never their fault that as a whole, the company is a fail.
