overnight mail
Next-morning parcel service
Overnight mail is a postal or courier service guaranteeing delivery by the next business day.
The term emerged with express delivery services in the late twentieth century: Send the contract by overnight mail so they have it tomorrow morning.
Now often shortened to simply overnight as verb or adjective: Can you overnight this package?
