Thanks for the advice! However, these courier companies work 24/7 and I can basically get in touch with them any time I want, plus, there are times where it gets decided to send some cargos at like 3am in the morning..
However, the courier is still constrained by flight schedules, so calling at 3 am is unlikely to result in faster delivery than calling at 8 am or even noon if there's one daily flight in the right direction departing in the evening.
