M&P Delivery Time: Same Day, Overnight and Second Day
A simple guide to M&P delivery times for each service, the booking cut-off, and what can make a parcel early or late.
The facts on this page come from service details published by M&P Express Logistics (mulphilog.com). The real delivery date depends on the route, the booking time and conditions on the day. We are an independent site. We do not run deliveries and cannot promise delivery dates.
1. How Many Days Does M&P Take to Deliver?
Distance is only part of the answer. These things also decide how fast your parcel arrives:
- Selected Service Tier: Same Day and Overnight are the faster services. Second Day is slower but costs less.
- Booking Cut-Off Hours: Parcels booked before the centre’s cut-off are sent the same day. Parcels handed in late go out on the next working day. For business pickups, the cut-off is around 5:00 PM.
- Origin and Destination Pairing: Parcels between big cities usually move faster than parcels going to small towns.
- Operating Schedule: M&P works Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. There are no doorstep deliveries on Sundays or public holidays.
2. M&P Services and How Fast They Are
M&P has different services for different levels of urgency:
Same Day Delivery
Only for deliveries inside the same city, in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Good for documents and small parcels that must arrive the same day.
Read the Same Day guide →Overnight Express
M&P’s faster service between cities. We could not check an exact delivery time for it, so ask M&P if you need a firm answer for your route.
Read Overnight guide →Second Day Delivery
M&P’s cheaper option for parcels that are not urgent. M&P says it takes 48 to 72 hours, and you can track it online all the way.

It helps to know the difference between a courier’s target service schedule and a binding delivery guarantee.
Overnight is meant to be quick between big cities, but it is a target, not a promise. Bad weather, road works or a hard-to-find address can make a parcel late without it being lost.
Avoid Unrealistic Expectations:
No courier can promise next-day delivery to every place. Small towns and villages often take a little longer because parcels need to go on a smaller local van.
4. Why Your M&P Parcel May Be Late
If your parcel has not come when you expected, one of these is often the reason:
- Seasonal Weather Disruptions: In winter, thick fog on the motorways in Punjab can slow down trucks and delay flights.
- Weekend Timing: Parcels booked late on Saturday can move through hubs over the weekend, but they usually reach the rider on Monday morning.
- Unsuccessful First Attempt: If the rider came when you were out, or could not find the address, M&P will try again on a later working day.
If your parcel has not had a new scan for a long time, read our guide on troubleshooting un-updated tracking.
5. Use Tracking to See Real Progress
Instead of guessing, look at the scans. They show you what has really happened:
- Arrived at Destination Facility: The parcel has reached your city and is being sorted.
- Out for Delivery: A rider has the parcel and will deliver it that working day.
To see what each scan means, look at the status meanings quick reference or the in-depth shipment lifecycle guide.
6. When to Contact M&P
If your parcel is taking much longer than the earlier steps did and nothing has changed, contact M&P customer care:
Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the rider comes when I am out?
The rider records that you were not there, and the parcel goes back to the local centre. M&P usually tries again on a later working day.
