The owner of Royal Mail has said it will not roll out changes that will see it ditch second-class letter deliveries on Saturdays more widely across the UK until early next year.
International Distribution Services (IDS) – which was bought by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky’s EP Group last year for £3.6 billion – has been running a pilot across 35 delivery offices to overhaul letter delivery services, including scrapping second-class deliveries on Saturdays and changing the service to every other weekday.
