Bought mine at £5.70
Can anyone remember what the IPO price was? Thanks - pretty the wife and I got the statutory number of shares - circa 333 or there a bouts . Greedy trying to calculate our gain...
Seems like I missed the boat on this. Sold out not long ago for a small profit. Would have been 50% profit if I'd waited.
Disappointing results, but action had been taken long ago. http://www.cityam.com/241772/uk-mail-group-reports-disappointing-results-for-2016-following-difficulties-with-facility-move Could this be upward from here?

UK Mail struggles with CityLink collapse: UK Mail said in a trading update that the extra costs from dealing with a surge in demand in the wake of the collapse of CityLink would hit full year profits. The London-listed mail and parcel delivery service said that, despite revenue being about 5% higher during the year, the additional cost of dealing with all the unexpected extra work meant that profits will now be at the lower end of market expectations. The shares moved 1.4% lower to 478p. The company added that the additional costs of dealing with the higher parcel volumes have continued into the current year. Mr Lawson reduced his profit forecast for the year to March 2016 by £2.5 million accordingly. Guy Buswell, Chief Executive, said that he had to hire extra vans and trailers at short notice and on higher rates to deal with the parcels. He added that the additional staff brought in to deal with the surge in work also increased the costs. The company is going through a significant period of change as it moves to its new facility. Mr Buswell said parcel sorting automation will increase from 20% to around 80% by the time the move is completed at the end of July. This is significant because parcels contributed about 60% of the group’s profits and about 40% of the revenue. U.K. Mail shares have had a volatile year so far, rising to 560p in Febraury before falling to 471.25p on the disappointing profit outlook. The shares are trading on 15 times forecast earnings and with profits expected to be roughly flat during the next 12 months we downgrade to a hold. U.K. Mail at 471.25p-13.75p. Questor Says “Hold”.
I had a delivery from them yesterday for a purchase of value £38.99 bought on eBay. Their communication very good advising me of delivery. In a slot of one hour yesterday morning. No show but text received and email driver delayed but will still ' attempt delivery today'. Delivery arrived late afternoon having brought the one sole item in very small escort type van having travelled 35 miles. Commendable and excellent service but at an obvious loss. A phone call and would have accepted delivery today or tomorrow. Maybe organisational issues here. Obviously in a competitive market with thin margins avoiding losses of the essence. but maybe was special reason like vehicle breakdown and this was out of the usual. But excellent service. Didn't tip the driver- he's paid for his time.
Anyone having problems with this platform in the last 10 mins
This bag of shyte company are the worst courier I`ve had the misfortune to have had dealings with. Told parcel was on lorry, then it isn`t, then its been re scheduled (not by me) then told I would be phoned to advise where it was and when to expect it, I never got a call, then after 6 calls I was told it would be escalated to high priority and that the escalations team would call me, never came...along with my parcel! Another 2 calls and I still haven`t received my parcel a week after the item was ordered, absolute garbage! Treated like a *ank*r and told what I wanted to hear, foukin incompetant ar*ho?es. I wouldn`t use them if they delivered for free (weren`t my choice anyway). They`re not fit to tie the shoelaces of a Royal Mail courier. I hope they lose customers, they don`t deserve to be able to `serve` the public! FKIN USELESS!!
Buy U.K. Mail on record parcel numbers: The demise of parcel delivery firm City Link was good news for rival operator U.K. Mail [LON: U.K.M]. The company last week announced record volumes of parcels during the vital Christmas period. Shares in U.K. Mail jumped more than 7% last week as the delivery company said it had taken on ex-City Link customers. The company was rocked by fears for parcel delivery after Amazon launched its own delivery service. This is significant because parcels contributed about 60% of the group’s profits and about 40% of the revenue. In the most recent detailed update for the first half ended September 30 trading was in line with market expectations. Revenue down 1% to £241.4 million and pretax profits of £11.4 million, down from £11.9 million last year. Guy Buswell, Chief Executive, said the company is still on target to hit full year, pretax profits of £22.5 million, giving earnings per share of 31.2p, increasing to 36.0p next year. The shares are trading on 15 times forecast earnings and we upgrade to a “Buy”.
Buy UK Mail on record parcel numbers - Telegraph http://bit.ly/1uefQcP
... up until today.
Royal Mail is going up, UKM is going down.
Better than selling one to buy another is actually shorting both as they appear to heading in one direction only.
Sell these and buy RMG instead, much bigger and much more stable. Clearly all the mail operators have got a tough time ahead and price wars but only the biggest players are going to survive it. UKM isn't a big player and TNT has big problems over the French competition probe. Only RMG is big enough (with loads of cash) to wither the storm.
Would be interesting to see how the UKM SP responds when the Royal Mail Group announces the new set of prices to their customers. RMG charges are too low at the moment, we are told by senior RMG officals, and will have to be raised and brought in-line with appropriate market expectations! Not good news for UKM SP long term, IMO.
Does anyone know if Royal Mail are a bigger then UK mail in comparison. If the share price for UK mail are almost £6, bodes well for RM shares certainly
Well just wondered what was happening with this share. Fairly new to all this
Well thank you for the reply. Not so sure I see the significance of the IVOR THE ENGINE vid. lol
