My special next day delivery says "On delivery" what does that mean? Does that mean I should expect it today or does it mean something else? I've looked everywhere and can't find any information on what it means.

That scan would usually happen once the item has arrived at your local delivery office and has been allocated to the correct duty. The postie would normally then a little while after collect that item from the locker, shortly before they head out on delivery. No extra scan happens here. Assuming that it was correctly allocated then you should receive it within the following few hours and the next scan will be at the door.

Not necessarily. Unless it's a Saturday Guarantee then the deadline is 1pm on Monday so Saturday afternoon is possible. I know that some offices do not recognise the difference tho.

Agree, but then it wouldn't show 'on delivery', surely? It wouldn't be scanned out until monday morning.
