overnight shipping

Next-day parcel service

Overnight shipping is a delivery service that guarantees arrival by the next business day.

The term implies speed and urgency, typically at premium cost: I paid extra for overnight shipping to get the parts before the weekend.

Sometimes called next-day delivery.
