same-day

Within those hours

Same-day describes something happening or delivered within the same calendar day it was ordered, requested, or initiated.

Most common in retail and logistics: same-day delivery, same-day shipping.

In medical contexts, same-day surgery means the patient goes home the day of the procedure.

The term implies speed and convenience—getting something done without overnight delay.
