overnight delivery

Next-morning arrival service

Overnight delivery is a shipping service that guarantees a package will arrive the next business day.

The term implies speed and urgency, often at premium cost: We need overnight delivery on those contracts.

Express mail services and courier companies built their businesses around this promise.

The phrase functions as both noun and adjective: Send it overnight delivery, an overnight delivery package.
