overnight courier
Next-day package service
An overnight courier is a delivery service that transports packages with guaranteed next-day arrival.
The term refers both to the service itself and to the companies that provide it: We sent the contracts by overnight courier.
FedEx pioneered the modern overnight courier industry in the 1970s.
The phrase distinguishes expedited shipping from standard ground delivery.
