On the whole the courier industry works on deliveries am collections pm unless the business is mile from anywhere when the collections are done with the deliveries. Obviously there's a benefit to businesses to have as late a collection as possible as you can take orders later for next day despatch... the more parcels you send the later you can get a collection usually. As MPD probably knock out a lot of parcels I would guess at t least a 5pm collection giving them 2 hours to get a phone out from their 3pm deadline.

Boring decriptive piece ends.
