Vocabulary for this text
How to find the information
The same-day request deadline is 1 p.m., not the beginning of a delivery window. The conditional 過ぎると changes the delivery day when the request is later. The notice is a learning example and does not describe an actual carrier’s policy.
There are two ways to receive the parcel: redelivery or collection at a desk. Their hours differ. Only desk collection has the instruction to bring この紙, so identify the method before copying a time or required item.
