Mera Time Delivery, Scheduled Same-Day Service
Leopards Courier's Mera Time Delivery (MTD) is available in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad for same-day scheduled deliveries. Shippers choose a specific 2–3 hour delivery window:
- Morning Slot: 9 AM – 12 PM (book before 8 AM)
- Afternoon Slot: 12 PM – 4 PM (book before 11 AM)
- Evening Slot: 4 PM – 7 PM (book before 2 PM)
MTD carries a premium rate compared to standard same-day delivery.
Factors That Affect Delivery Time
- Peak seasons: Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha, 11.11, and Black Friday cause 1–3 day additional delays across the network due to volume spikes.
- Monsoon season (July–Sept): Road flooding in Sindh, Punjab, and KPK causes 1–4 day delays for affected routes.
- Winter fog (Dec–Feb): Dense fog in Lahore, Islamabad, and the GT Road corridor grounds flights and slows truck convoys, causing 1–2 day delays.
- Remote accessibility: Mountainous areas of Balochistan, FATA, AJK, and Gilgit-Baltistan have variable delivery windows based on road conditions.
- Public holidays: No deliveries on Pakistan national holidays. Eid holidays cause 5–7 day network pauses.
- Parcel weight and dimensions: Heavy cargo (30kg+) may be consolidated on freight vehicles with longer dispatch cycles.
